CNC You need to produce a sand rail or dune buggy in a similar fastion to the production of the "Minus-One" with the rear engine and the light weight of the 660 it would be a riot to have one.

Throttle Body size?

Thanks for the props everyone.

BTY... I had thought about doing something like that but just dont have time to everything I want to do.

TB is 75MM from a 5.3L Chevy truck

That is one seriously pretty setup!!!!

Pardon me if I missed it, but where is the compete build description? 350 HP seems improbable without a turbo.

Edit: Nevermind. I need to look more closely.

[CNCguy]

Just an update... Picked these up on Ebay. They should be delivered next week.



Slowly making progress.

[CNCguy]

It has been a little while since I updated this but as the title says.... I'm slowly making progress. I got the twin T-25's (from a 300ZX TT), rebuilt them, made my header to turbo adapters and sent the compressor housings to be polished. Waiting on them to come back. Picked up an EVO 8 intercooler but there is still lots to do and buy, planning to make my own billet WG actuators and BOV (just to be different, after all, that is the goal of this whole project), finish fabbing my UIM, ECM, injectors blah blah blah. Though I think 350+ hp is very acheivable with these motors, my current goal is around 300 hp.



Inside the adapter



Turbos monted on engine... no compressor housings

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

i don't get on here much.....i am at a loss as to what this motor is and what it is going in to....is it a 4.3?

It is a '00 3400 from a Malibu and will be going into the three wheeler that is in my avtar and the links below.

Marc

sorry but the 3400 was never offered in the malibu... if you have one it was from a swap


i live in columbus (coming back on the 23rd) but i might just have to make it out your way sometime in the next 6 months (after then i go to wyotech)

Tis true. They only had the 3100 never the 3400. Not untill the 3500 came along did they get larger displacement.

[CNCguy]

Sorry... it may have been an Impala. Dont really remember... you know what they say about the first thing to go. I do know that it is an '00 3400. It came from a bone yard that had it listed on Ebay.

and a new platform

I am loving it. It's great to see some more progress pictures from ya too.

This thing is really going to haul some ass once it's boosted 3400'd.

This is sort of off topic too, but did you end up doing much with the billet oil caps? The one on your engine in the pics looks so tasty that I had to bring it up.

[SappySE107]

I have some that he made that will be on the store once I get it all setup with the new software. I gotta take better pics of them too. Still need one for the 91-93 DOHC but the gen 2 pushrod and the 3/4 turn types are done. Ill get some pics up soon.

[Manitcor]

id wager that you could do a good bit more than 350. Your limitation will be how much fuel you can push but since your likley doing a custom plenum I dont think that will be much of an issue for you.

Looking good man. TT will rock!

[El_Diablo]

yeah, beef up the bottom end and you should easily be able to make 400+hp

[Manitcor]

true, above 350 and your beginning to stress your rods a bit too much, forgot about that
