SuperSlow's 05 Turbo Swapped SS - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

SuperSlow764 · 10-23-2010, 11:37 AM

Car was originally supercharged from the factory. I did as much as I could with that setup. had a 2.6" pulley, 60lb injectors, single pass intake manifold, front mount heat exchanger, full exhaust, 3" intake. The car was quick but got boring pretty quick. Started putting away money about a year and a half ago and started the swap in the spring of this year. Current mods include:
ZZP turbo exhaust manifold
Garrett 50 trim t3/to4e
custom catless downpipe
3" CTI catback
Tial 38mm WG w/external dump
custom 3" turbo intake
custom 2.5" hot and cold side piping w/ 3" MAF housing
ZZP 50mm BOV (Tial knockoff, works just as good and a 1/3 of the price)
CX racing intercooler
RD Fabs intake manifold
80 lb/hr injectors
JM Fabrications catch can
Hallman Pro MBC
custom tuned by me using HPtuners

The car is running at 22 psi of boost currently. My stock clutch is smoked so as soon as I replace that I plan on getting dyno numbers. From looking at other similar cars. They are putting down in the 330-350 whp range. I do have plans in the future for a larger precision turbo and just re-doing some things to clean everything up a bit.

Thats pretty cool. Looks really clean. When are you planning on getting a clutch?

gotvtec? · 10-23-2010, 12:25 PM

I would get steelies and make it sleeper

SuperSlow764 · 10-23-2010, 12:55 PM

^^lol not a bad idea. I'm getting married in Punta Cana in 2 weeks and I'll be there for 2 weeks so i'm not sure if i'm going to get the clutch in before the holidays but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

**Got Insulin?** · 10-23-2010, 12:58 PM

Pretty slick. Did you ever think of leaving the SC on there and twin-charging it?

Honduh · 10-23-2010, 01:08 PM

Nice. I wouldn't mind daily driving a ss.

boostedfury · 10-23-2010, 01:24 PM

Nice ss man and also nice to see more domestics being built on this site

Sublime1304 · 10-23-2010, 01:44 PM

Have you thought of lowering it? From the pictures, looks like you could go a few inches

jesse096 · 10-23-2010, 02:16 PM

Did you tune eddies car a few weeks back? If so, this is one clean swap in person!

SuperSlow764 · 10-23-2010, 04:54 PM

Yeah I tuned eddie's car. I'm still riding on the stock suspension right now. Not sure if I want to lower it with springs though. I'm waiting for some for this company to come out with some trans. upgrades so I can beat on it at the track. I'm looking for mid 12's how the car sits and 11's with a bigger turbo.

jesse096 · 10-23-2010, 06:27 PM

I was the dude with the Blue Silverado. ****s sweet man, clean install!

ourbloodykisses · 10-23-2010, 06:31 PM

22 psi of boost with stock internals? is that safe for this motor? I have no idea...

jesse096 · 10-23-2010, 06:41 PM

I think Eddie runs close to 20 on his SC motor... Could be wrong...

-Jesse

gotvtec? · 10-23-2010, 10:57 PM

20 on a sc is lol na jess he is prolly at 14-16 tops

jesse096 · 10-24-2010, 10:09 AM

That's why I said IDK, I'm too preoccupied talking to him when I'm in the car to pay attention to his boost gauge...

-Jesse

SuperSlow764 · 10-24-2010, 01:10 PM

22 psi is def. safe on this motor. There has been 1 car pushing 30 psi from a S362 making over 500 whp on a completely factory long block. If eddie is pushing 20 psi from that supercharger there is a problem somewhere like a clogged cat or something. I believe when I tuned him I was logging somewhere in the 16 psi range.

TalonTsi97 · 10-24-2010, 02:16 PM

Nice setup! I'll have to keep an eye out for you in the warminster area.
You couldn't of kept the S/C and went with a twin charge setup?
What kind of clutch will you be putting in it?

SuperSlow764 · 10-24-2010, 06:04 PM

Yes I def. could have kept the sc and went twincharged but I'm not rich and selling all the parts really help offset the price of switching over and there are a lot of headaches with tuning a twincharged car. I'm going with a cluchmasters stage 4 sprung 6 puck clutch.

Car is awesome man have a lot of respect for turbo balts that were s/c they seem to make great power and decently reliable

but 22psi i wouldnt say is safe ha, yes a lot has to due with the tune but if i were you i would start saving money for a fuel system those number 4 pistons sure like to go flying ha...

SuperSlow764 · 10-24-2010, 08:50 PM

^^true about the 22 psi but I tune my own car so I know whats going on with it. Switching to some sort of return style or boost referenced fuel system is more of a luxury than a necessity until I start pushing the 400 whp mark. With the 80 lb/hr injectors in the car now I'm only seeing 65% duty cycle with an 11.5 afr at 7000 rpm. Now that it's starting to get a little colder out I'm going to probably turn the mbc down back to 15 psi.
