    I still think that 1 primary looks goofy, even if a downpipe is going in between it and the block.

    Haha, you look goofy, but I don't complain J/K

    Anyways, it will perform just fine, and will be buried under a spiderweb of pipes by the time it's all said and done. Unless I put the primaries up over the valve covers, right against the hood, I didn't have much choice on that side. It may get moved some, the primaries aren't welded to the collector yet and I still have to fit that side in the car before sealing it up.

    Man Forced, I am green. The Corsica is history so my hybrid is going in the wife's car and I just bought a '96 Monte Carlo that will either get a 3500 or a 3400 so I'll probably need some TURBO headers. LOL

    The steel I have for cutting out the t3 and downpipe flanges are sitting on the stock shelf getting some surface rust.

    Here's how the eingine looks now (using to mock some custom 3500 RWD turbo accy mounts)...

    The other turbo and headers ar being removed for the rest of the header/accy mock up of a particular 3500-turbo-powered Camaro, coming soon



    Thinking about just putting the motor in and running N/A for part/all of this race season, and using the 3.1/3400 for mocking the rest of the turbo setup. Time/money is becoming an issue to be at the track by hopefully Apr/May

    Hmm, last set of turbo headers I made went on a Corsica, he's in the 12's

    Can't wait to see what the mullet-mobile is going to do, "Hey, Bubba, Watch this...."


    Seriously, I can make some headers if you want, just like Loner's, PM me, and we'll work it out

    Eeek! Your headers are rusty!

    Well I haven't done anything with your old 3.1 intake yet either. Actually, might have been money wasted because I'll probably be getting a whole 3.1 on Friday. I'll still have problems getting the 3.1 intake to clear my Trooper brackets, so I'm getting the other 3.1 for it's brackets and intake and I'll use the long block in another Trooper. I'll have to relocate my coil packs, but that's not a big deal.

    So is the turbine housing that has already been installed

    Nothing that sandblasting and my new ceramic coating rig won't take care of though

    Well, go buy them

    Home made cabinet with a syphon feed ~$500, air compressor to handle it ~$1000, HVLP sprayer ~$150, heat-treating oven ~$1000, and the ceramic coatings are about $60 to do one header, then add the special high-temp masking tape and silicone plugs etc etc ----

    Man, I'm realizing how expensive my "hobby" is


    PM me if you want something coated
