Very cool. Can't wait to see the results. The headers look fairly thick gauged steel and a descent design
I'll take a closer pic the driver side had what looks like an AN fitting welded to it then they decided to fill it in? I'm not sure lol but I'm really excited roster this but idk if I wanna do this right away or wait til the winter
@A5literMan are you implying I should do it now?!? Are you gonna come help? lol I actually want to see what I do motor wise at the track this year before I tear into it again.
If you were close by I'd love to help work on it. lol. Out of curiosity do you have the fuel system to support the turbo upgrade?
I do have a set of 42 injectors I'm gonna send out and have flow checked ... Other then that it's stock lines and rails with a 255 pump
Well that would be good enough for 500 or so hp. I would think you'd hit that with very low boost numbers.

I love my Lentech AOD...awesome with boost...good luck with your build...question why not a walbro 340 lph fuel pump?...that's what I run...with 42 lbs injectors...a Pro-M maf blow thru...and I think our stock fuel rails are good to 500 hp?...
@MY 85 GT im using the 255 because that's is what was required to flow the 42s I could've gone bigger but that's what was initially in the car when I bought it so I had no reason to Change it. Yeah I have a tci c4 with a transbrake should be fun. I'm hoping to stay around the 500 because I don't want to have to put a new fuel system in although it won't be that hard with these cars.

I had an bullet proof c4 in my car I hated it...ran hot no OD sucked to go anywhere...that's why I went back to an AOD...I know they rob HP but you can always turn up boost....lol...

It had a 9.5 inch convertor and it was like a 3500 stall...it has a big trans cooler the same one that's backing my lentech AOD and the car runs about 20 degrees cooler from the C4 to AOD...I know the convertor didn't help...but still missed driving on the highway without OD...if it was an all out race car I would have kept c4 but mine is an all around car so I wanted the option of that with an OD again....
Yeah I actually don't drive this thing any great distances around the corner and what not if I take it somewhere like ocean city for cruise week I'll just trailer it same with the track I'll just trailer it in case I break something. Mine has a 10" converter with around 3-3500 stall I have a cooler on it now but when I put the turbo on I'm gonna relocate it to the rear with a fan attached to it
Here you go @TOOLOW91
Master power t70 with a .70 compressor ar and a .96 turbine ar
Tial wastegate and blow off valve
Thinking about swapping out the headers for a set of pony down headers instead I'll fit these up to see how I like them before I pull the trigger.
Mmmmmm.... shiney.
I probably couldn't tell you one turbo from another. Hopefully that one is sized to spool quickly (particularly since you're already 400 n/a). The torque boost should be very nice.
