83 stepside project

Wow insane pricing there ...damn!

Do you want me to send it? I can include 2 stainless hose clamps if you want. I have buckets full of them from SC setups where I used t bolt clamps. The TPI iroc stuff is the same, mine came off one of those.

 

[Twin_Turbo]

ot a whole lot of progress here, waiting on fenders to come in from the US. I did finish th exhaust system and all wiring. I also painted the supercharger black.





Exhaust is all buttoned up now, so I started on the SC plumbing..started w/ the dr. side and made it to the rad frame I had prev. removed the blanking plate there. I'm going to run the pipes through there. Also started on the other side but quickly found out I'm lacking a 4" silicone coupler for on the TB. Will have to order that 1st in order to finish that side

I would really like to find something like this (for way less than $50):

I can't understand $50 for a rubber tube section

larry that thing on ebay is 6" ID and 4" long, do you need that or 4" ID 6" long? The coupler I have is a 4" coupler for a std. GM TB.

Marck, yes I need the standard Camaro coupler (that will fit a TPI throttle body).

 

[Twin_Turbo]

OK

TB inlet not yet finished, has temporary coupler.

I used an original procharger elbow and fabbed an oval piece from aluminum to extend it.



clear the accy drive just fine now

door hinges and that wiring rubber boot look like C4 vette stuff

 

[Twin_Turbo]

You always do such great work. This truck is no different. :thumbs:

 

[Twin_Turbo]

thanks, this is just a quickie build

 

[Twin_Turbo]

All the IC piping is done

fabricated brackets for the IC, the thing had to be mounted at an angle otherwise the grille won't fit. It's still a tight fit nonetheless.





Made it around the corners LOL





And the other side... I cheated y making this a 2 pc section it would have been a major PITA to install it if it was 1 piece and the long silicone section gives me a lot more tolerance with engien movement.



custom blow off valve



done.. the tubing will be all powdercoated flat black.

Never knew you had c4's ... you have a monte SS huh? I used to have a monte with that 3.8 hot air buick in it. Think it was a 1980

When are you going to mod them?

 

[Twin_Turbo]

The black one is 100% original, japanese export with floppy mirrors, additional side markers and fukny rear lights. It's a very low mile, unmolested car. Even has the original exhaust on it. It will remain that way.

the blue one is already modded, has upgraded injectors, exhaust and Brembo Mov-It brakes. It's a 6 speed car, much more fun to drive than the slush box.

 

[JeffP1167]

what kind of mirror deflectors are on the blue one, they look after-market.

 

[Twin_Turbo]

yes aftermarket. they are on ebay all the time.
