starting the work
New placement
work of art
replacing this
he said it was cracked even worse on the bottom. but it took a TON of stress and heat to it before it broke. lots of hard earned miles. the turbo would have fell off probably had I not welded the top before I made the trip.

Now do mine.
got the cash? I have a spare turbo now.... and my old intercooler, and piping...... and exhaust......
all you need to find is the manifold... and fuel stuff
I do and would rather buy my self a lifetime supply of dress socks lol. I juts don't drive the thing enough anymore, I'm really hoping to drive it a lot this summer. If I do I would consider throwing money at it. Then again I do have some go fast parts to dump on it still so that might make me want to drive it a lot more

same size as the old one, just newer and lower miles. Old one could use a rebuild.

thanks
If I did anything id go with a 60-1, and not so much aiming for a power level as i am the 11.500-11.999.
id rather use power efficiently than make excessive amounts i cant and wont use or need.
i feel you there i will still daily drive mine and like you im not necesarrily going for a said hp but i have goals for the track and i dont feel the 57 trim will get me there but i could be wrong

no worries, I dont think i need 450+ for my goals. and IF by chance I beat my goal of 11.5 which i doubt ill even do, then i might get 1 or two passes before im forced to tone it back...
I WILL NOT CAGE THIS CAR EVER!!!!! i like it too much to cage it.

When I first saw your car at Fetter's shop I swear it was there for a cage! Was pretty excited for that! lol

no cage, ever. not my style at all.
next car i build will have one.
Looks a lot cleaner now Vince! Very nice Turbo header for sure.
looks good vince. planning on jet hot again?

huh? a cage isnt your style but ur next car will have one?
absolutely beautiful, Vince. damn I'd love to see this thing in person
I feel the same way about achieving your goals without the overkill. my original goal was to break into the 11s, but I think I'll shoot for 12s first. the only difference here tho, is that I'm mainly wanting to tour and autocross, so a cage is required. are you going for FULL street interior? I know a while back, I read that you run your car on the track like it's driven on the street, so you don't toss anything out for the track

Correct, my daily driven cavalier will not have a cage. Key word, daily driven, well and cavalier... not my style. Now a 70 nova hatch or 70 SS Chevelle, deserves a cage and pin on front... that is a car that is more cage neccesary and more my style.
Not going jet hot this time, going with nitro plate instead. Did a great job for fetter and took real good care of him. Will see how it goes....
Thought about powder coating the charge pipes but you won't see them this time around. Intercooler will be more flashy this time around so I figure just go raw and only coat the one in the engine bay leading into the tb.
Can't wait for our ET shoot. I think the CED meet would be a great time for it if we can get jason and stephen there. Stephen said he probably can't make it though
And yes, this car is raced in full street trim. Whatever is in it goes with me down the track. My 12.6 was actually with 3/4 tank of gas and blow clutch and I think my pop up chair took the ride with me. Only thing I do is swap front tires...

he had his turbo coated and they coated the inside and outside. well when he went to assemble, it woudlnt fit since they coated the inside as well. he called them and told them about it, they paid for it to be overnighted to them, fixed, and overnighted right back. so that right there is a big deal.
Very niiice, I like it a lot.
