Looks good man.



Car is for Sale!Supercharger kit is for sale!

SICK SON!!! can not wait to see it at the track ready for battle. will be an honor to run next to this car

ECOTEC FTW !!!!

Very nice build!!! (firefox=junk for viewing pics)

The only thing that could make this build any better....... if it was a LD9




SPD RCR Z - '02 Z24 420whp
SLO GOAT - '04 GTO 305whp
W41 BOI - '78 Buick Opel Isuzu W41 Swap

Good looking build

But i also agree with Brian

I agree...


Nice work...from what I could see.of the images.

I hope you plan on putting a turbo in that car with such low compression.... GM Performance and Race Group suggests for NA engines 10:1 or higher

NASTY!!

I could only see half the pictures but nice build!!

Awesome, now hurry up and finish already!

god i am so sick and f'ing tired of firefox's INABILITY to make it so you can view more then 5 pictures. i mean come on... if your so much better then IE, make it work, dumbasses.

anyways, sorry for that. amazing build!!! finally someone thats willing to go outside the box and get different brands other then wiseco and eagle for internals. hows the quality on those crowers?

and wow, i had no idea the ECO didnt have main caps in the 'regular' sense, no clue it was a whole section of aluminum that holds the crank down like that.

yea i thought i would be different by going with CP and Crower........man the Crower billet rods are awesome..... i compared them to the eagle rods and man their was a big difference




thanks everyone again







RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

wow next to PJs thats the most photos ive seen for an eco build



1989 Turbo Trans Am #82, 2007 Cobalt SS G85

Nice! I'll have to check it out if I can ever make it to O-town. Hopefully you'll have it FINISHED when I see it




Convert 00+ headlights to 95-99

Nice header in that pic looks familiar.I think we need pics with a turbo on the motor.

Sweet build, but holy epic f*cking post! I had to stop half way through and go grab a snack. LOL.

yeah that was a ton of pics, should have just put the parts and tourqe specs before each pic and you'd have a photo build book lol

You quoted me, so you can see that I said shame.

Auto tranny = fun killer. The ole 1 foot bandit tranny.

The only reason I'd mod a car with an auto would be if I lost my left leg below the knee.

I'm just ribbing more than anything. My very first car was an auto, then I woke up and pulled that junk and threw it behind the garage.

Duh I know I quoted you.There was a point to that.

Lol 1 foot bandit huh, maybe people stick with their autos because that's what we started with. You must be the 5 speed God since you hate autos with boost lol. Ill let you know when and if I lose to a 5 speed lol
