My Corvette Life: 1990 Callaway Twin Turbo Project
 
Hello again! Some of you guys may know me from my recent 1988 C4 restoration project, and my C5. Well the next project is here, and it's a big one.

1990 Callaway Twin-Turbo (#34 of 58)

This car has been sitting for 15 years (since 2006) being neglected. It's going to be a long road ahead. I hope you will join me on the journey! See post #2 for the videos!

Some quick notes:
1 if 58 produced in 1990
1 of 497 B2K option cars produced 1987-1991
1500 Callaway specific parts
7.5:1 compression ratio
Max boost 10psi
382 hp and 562 ft-lbs at 3000rpm
Top Speed 185mph

After reflection I’m kind of deceived I knew it was going to be a C4 and I was hoping for an LT1 since almost half of the forum here have own one. Callaway’s nice but it’s only a fraction of C4 ever sold. Good luck, not sure if I’ll watch though

Ricketts 09-30-2021 12:56 PM

Very cool! Jealous I am. I'll have to follow the progress.

Chris, do you have a real job or is YouTube it? Don't know where you find the time to work on a car if you have a 9 to 5.

I'm done with google tube after they stated they will eliminate any channel that posts commentary that differs from the Covid government lie.
Sadly, I'll miss your show. Good luck.

mazdaverx7 10-01-2021 06:59 AM

Thats a great find!!! Shouldn't take a ton to get the car back on the road! Will definitely look forward to seeing the progress you make!

bartenderfloyd 10-01-2021 04:21 PM

Looking forward to your videos. I can't believe someone would leave that car like that. Happy to see you give it some love.

I think it will be a lot more work and dollars than it appears at a glance. I hope the engine/turbos/intercoolers, etc. are all good, especially since raced and neglected.
Why did the guy just let it sit and rot with a chemical spilled on it, and not even clean it off?

Yes, I have a real job. I make time. It's amazing how much time you actually have if you just put forth the effort to manage it.
