Weight Savings and Custom Turbo Kit (87 Grand National and LS Engine)

[LS-GN]

Looks good but are you worried about raising your charge air temp with the charge pipe being so close to the hot side of the turbo?

It will eventually have a heat blanket over the turbine, plus it's not THAT close anyhow.

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...

Don't worry about the people telling you it's wrong. Listen and evaluate their opinions, but in the end, it's your deal.

Car looks good man, keep it up.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure it will be fine, but if we need to change it we can. It's all done now, waiting for the roads to get nice. Here are some pics.

Here's a front view of the core support and rack. You can also see the Wilwood Street/Strip brakes.

Here's a front view of the cradle. You can see where it was notched and boxed back in. It is as strong or stronger than it ever was from the factory.

This pic shows the way it sets in the car. It sits nice and low and far back, which will help the car work well and also give us more room for the headers and turbo system.

What diameter bar was used in the radiator support please?
