Olds ticket to 9s... LS swap adventure.

Well hello there big fella....

So, little update as I have had too much going on this week to get much car stuff done.

I found a deal on a used Wuhan war whistle, S488 T6 96/88mm 1,32AR. I had to make a 4 hour trip to get it, but it was a great deal for a turbo that put the previous owners LS powered notch fox down the 1/4 in 8.71 @ 161mph with a SBE 5.3.....


Some comparison photos with the 7675 Gen 1. Beefy...



I feel like I should build a turbo jet with the 7875 now, just for fun. lol

That turbo makes your engine look small

I don't remember your converter specs, but that S488 will need some stall.

But it will be WELL worth it - now you're talking. I'll bet that after you put that on, you'll never consider a T4 again.

I'm probably a bit tight at 3200 stall, but thats what nitrous is for...

Great, now I am rethinking my current Tofu Tornado - but, fitting a T6 is going to be a tight one on my setup.

Come on Spring!

I have a lightly used 7875 billet wheel,Only bent one rod, I think its a bolt in for a GT45 swap.

Umi makes links to attach the forward bolts of the upper and lower control arms for support to the upper mounts. Im
Assuming to keep the crossmemebr above the axle hump from flexing/bending. Are doing anything to strengthen/support the upper control arm forward mounts? Do you think it a concern?

I’m considering a modification/ additional bar in the cage to support these mounts is my reason for asking.

I have them bars, Hotchkis brand...they really do help! I can tell the difference from before.
