Glad to see you got it running! That thing is gonna fly!

I'd like to see some wide angle shots of the engine in the car. Left and right side. The person I work for loves those cars and I'd like to show him pics with the transplanted engine. He has one with a V8 but it's now a rust bucket. He used to drive it when he was in high school.

I made that flange.My buddy makes rool off container parts and has big burn tables.We cut up the stock turbo flange than coppied it into his CAD.Then i laid out the holes and drilled them.I have one extra one but he can make more.

Nice Work!

That beast is really coming along, when is the first track outing?

 

[Grumpy]

gotta love it when it starts up the first time :biggrin:

 

[ONE_QUIK_6]

Man, you are killing me, everytime I think I am just going to get rid of my vega you make a little more progress and remind me why I bought it in the first place. Good work, Keep it up, can't wait to see it cruising down the track.

That is truly a great feeling to hear that dude light the first time. It sounds great, too! What a neat application for the turbo motor. That thang is gonna honk, now!

 

[fuzzyGN]

Nice job! As a Vega owner I know that was no easy feat. My longterm project will be an intercoolered 73 Panel wagon. Anyway, not to Hijack the thread but does anyone know why the car in the vid hesitates when it is reved up? My GN has been doing that for quite awhile now and I can't figure out why. On the road; high load, low throttle opening it will buck and carry on until it shifts. Really not fun. I am lost.

 

[Joe Kelsch]

The car sounds really nice in person. My brother hauled Eggs and me up to the garage in my ex-Regal to see it. I was impressed.

 

[terrible-T]

Yeah, my kind of shop :smile:
Nice work 10secvega
