Got kind of camera happy, and haven't really posted much of what I've been upto. Pretty much here's a pic of my garage and the FC's lined up.



Here's a couple of pics of my s5 GXL-II (TurboII conversion) It's been out due to some body damage, which is a whole other story. In the meantime it's getting a BNR Stage3 hybrid, custom intercooler (probably Years of Decay setup). Nothing real special here... Just lots of problems!



Engine shot (yeah, i know, fix the rust!)




Alright, here's my '87 Sport 6-port Turbo. Nothing too much to inform you on this one, it's basically got the new clutch (clutchnet sprung 6puck with 2600lb pp). As you can see in the pictures below, it's basically getting a makeover. The previous owner rolled it and pretty much mangled the body. So, as you can see, a set of new fenders, headlight assemblies, rear bumper, a shitload of all metal (greatest body filler ever!), and it's starting to look normal again. As you can see, I've got a boost gauge, a/f gauge, and the wideband mounted right in the middle of the gauge cluster so I can make sure I don't go killing my poor motor.





Here's my starion front mounted, ignore the busted up plastic.

 

I have dialup and those pics dled in like 5 seconds, lol.. I'd get rid of the Starion intercooler. My buddy had one on his Omni GLH and he said it sucked major ***..

Alright, here's my GTUs. As you all know, this is my supercharger project. As it stands, I'm working on a pulley setup, I've got most of the supercharger mounting taken care of, and working on my TB adapter to mount the stock TB. Here are a couple of shots of the FC3S side skirts just set in place.





Alright, if that can't get me to the power levels I want, this will! Chevy 409!



Shot of my toolboxes/etc.


Anybody need sparkplugs?

 

i need some spark plugs.. send em my way

 

It works fine for my needs, my intake temps stay pretty good even at 12psi.

As for the spark plugs, that's not even half of them. I've got about another 20 in various boxes around my garage. Don't ask how i've obtained so many.

 

Is that chevy engine out of an old suburban?

Pictures dont show

 

They do for me want me to describe them for you in huge detail?? LOL!

M

 

What the hell!? I right click them and say show picture, and go to properties and copy/paste the URL into the address line and can't get them to show up!!

 

Your isp hates me, remove the www. infront of sonicrat.org and it'll work. That engine isn't from a suburban, it's from the old chevy impalas/etc. It's one of the most sought after chevy blocks. Don't you guys remember the beach boys song about the 409?

 

They show now, weird..

 

So none of your 7's are n/a any more SRat. Looks awsome keep up the good work.

 

The GTUs is for a very short time, until I can get the pulleys setup at least.

 

Ok i was just curious on the engine because i helped my dad rebuild an engine when i was about 3 (i really didn't do a whole lot aside form take apart an intake component, and yes i have proof of this) but i remmeber in the pictures the engine was oarnge originally.

Haha, it's chevy orange! Most chevy blocks are painted this color.

 

"My four speed, dual quad, posi-traction 409"

 

Now thats a nice garage! Full of 3 FCs with forced induction and a shitload of tools. Very nice.

 

i want a garage like that!!!

 

I want your garage and only one of your cars, pleeeease???

Guess not, anyway, where in NY are you located?

 

When I'm in NY, I'm in the Syracuse area. My garage is in Michigan however. I've got enough tools to fill about 3 boxes, air, you name it, it's in there somewhere. Mig welder's coming next week, after that I just need a plasma cutter! There's also a '63 Impala sharing the garage, but it's hidden in the corner. It fits in nicely with the rx7's, simply because of this:

 

I'd really like to see pictures of the SC stuff you have finished!!

 

that sc stuff wasnt in there last time i was in your car sonicrat. haha. what did u ever do with that totalled 7 with the rebuilt t2. sell the motor with the car, or junk the car and kept the motor?

 

Haha, that's the GXL in the pictures, we fixed it all up and it's driving just fine.

 

only difference in this pic is he's probably using the help of some propane or spark plugs in the exhaust or both.. we do it aeu naturel! (check sp plz)

 

Yeah yeah, ether and spark plugs with model T coils. But the 7's dont discriminate too much. Was my dad's car, one of the last years he got to drive it.
