Turbo LX Hatch Build

OK here are some current pics and spec of my build, 91 LX hatch 347 boss block TW 185 CNC heads(Stock) Victor EFI 75mm TB, Comp cam custom cam. AOD trans PI 9.5" converter. BBRC 18 gallon aluminum fuel tank with a magnafuel pro tuner 750 pump, I am going to get the car baselined on gas with 60 lb injectors then switch to E85 and either 105 lb or 120lb injectors. I am going to start out with a PTE 74mm turbo with ported housing then step up to a 78mm BB HP series after I get a handle on the tune.

That looks epic, I've never actually seen this car but I'm really looking forward to it.

Now bring on the racecar, jizz rocket and blue 5.0 comments!

Turbo domestic V8s intrigue the hell out of me. Nice looking build you got goin' there!

I got it from Summit for 150 buck's, my stock one was bent for some reason. It's made by G force.

The garage and house are both feed from the same propane tank and we use about 1300 gallons a year for everything about 8000 sq feet .

o thats not to bad at all

Making some progress, the intercooler is mounted and the front end cut to fit over it. Upper and lower torque boxes have been redone and subframes are done also. The new turbo kit should be done this week and then I can test fit it and pull motor back out for a few changes, then start running my fuel system and move the battery to the rear and get the wiring cleaned up.

Love your build... though it's not an '11 5.0, it's still pretty cool

is that harolds work? looks great Don.
