Not an ALL OUT performance build, but itll be pretty fun non-the-less. Leaves me room to upgrade when I get bored of it, lol. Still plenty of work to do, but at least you get an idea of where its headed!

Its a stock (ported) Garrett off an 87 Buick Grand National. Thats what I remember, I believe the hot side A/R is .63 but i dont remember the cold side. Next time I get a chance Ill look it up. Motor is built to the teeth tho, Forged internals, 274S cam, new head with 3 angle and bigger valves, etc. Should be fun to see what this thing will do!

Yeah, its a 200...well, we had to bore it .040 for the pistons, so whats that make it, a 202, 204 or somethin, I dunno, lol. I will be getting video of it when its done cause my buddy wanted to see it before he went to China for the semester but I didnt have a chance. Ill post all I can get when the time comes! Thanks for the kind words, I wanted to be a bit different and keep the six, but I wasnt getting any respect on the streets and at some shows dominated by higher HP cars...maybe this will help a bit lol

Its workin pretty good for a buddy of mine, REAL quick spooler, and it came originally on the Buick six. I will work my way up to either a T3/T4 hybrid or a T04B in the future.

Oh, and that Chevette looks like an AWESOME project car. I love random old compacts/hatchbacks that are built up (not hondas tho) There is an old 70s lancer and a few omnis around here that are awesome. Get a good video of that thing!

She's pushing 10lbs right now. It's fun but not fast yet. Going to put NOS to it and try to blow the motor so I can play with that too. But she's faster then it was beofre with her 65hp motor.

Very nice, you don't see something like that everyday. Let us know what it puts down on the dyno once you finish it up!

sweet. I love DIY turbo setups. They're fun because you can find all sorts of ways to gain a few extra hp. Port the head and add water/methanol injection and you'll be near 300 hp for sure.
