Turbo Camaro Convertible Project

turbo-camaro-1

Quik over at Tremek has started a build thread on his Turbo Camaro. See below:

Well here is the run down of the project. driveline is a 02 4.8 [293ci motor] PTe88 turbo, Viper spec’d T56, 230/236 cam, ls2 intake, 241 heads. this exact setup made 702 rwhp and 565rwtq in my silverado with pig rich AFR of 10.4. Since the camaro is about 1k pounds lighter then the silverado i was curious to see how the setup would preform in a lighter chassis. I shift this setup at 7500 rpms but might bump that up a few hundred rpms. Car is going to have powersteering and all the bells and whistles, this isnt a track car just a street warrior that will see track times but again isnt a full out track setup. I know auto would be faster but isnt an option.

here are the mock up pics of setup. some of this kit is carried over from the silverado. also this will be exiting thru a CME but will use a cutout off the downpipe for track days

turbo-camaro-3

when fiinshed car wil lbe electron blue with white 35th aniversary stripes. wheels are OEM C6Z06 wheels with a **** harrel clone widebody kit. engine bay has been smoothed and filled. the holes created from turbo kit will be filled and smoothed once again. all wires are going to be tucked and hiddend under the chassis. this will be a drawnout project

well today i worked on my rad support so i could use stock rad and fans. i cut rad support like many do and the piece that was removed was skinned and overlapped over the remaining piece. goal was to remain as stock looking as possible and doing this i still have strenght of stock and lines of stock as well. I also drilled out the spot welds holding the lower rad support in place. im sliding this peice foward to allow myself to keep the same angle of stock rad/fan setup.

turbo-camaro-4

still up in air if i should triangluate the rad support for more strenght, ran short on time to finish more of it. Have to head to class

made some more progress today.

first up you can see how the rad is supported. i used 1×1 tube and cut it in half then i used stock rubber holders from the plastic rad cover and used them as the feet. I then had a cover break’d formed and also used a set of rubber holders on top

turbo-camaro-5

im going to build a air deflector to direct the air from nose of car down to lower part of the IC and one from nose to top of IC this way the air is directed into the IC only

you can see in the pics the stock lower air deflector is in place just moved forward and reangled and works more as a scope to help direct air into the rad

now you can see the pics of the fuel rails and regulator. I Had it this way wihen i twas in the silverado and works well in the camaro. its hidden which i like the plan for this build is to be as clean as possible and things hidden
