Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Actually those Buick Aluminum V8s were raced in the Indy 500, in lots of rally cars and in several British and Australian sports cars, they are very capable of going fast.
Buick V6s were also raced in the Indy 500, and Stage 1 455s are just beasts. I ran a Rover V8 in a '76 Skyhawk, had a turbo V6 Regal and had a stage 1 in a '74 Regal, all went fast. But yea it's easier to build up an LS, I get it. |
Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
I'm no stranger to buick performance...I've spent a lot of time behind the wheel, and just about as much time under the hood of a Grand National. Definitely fast. When it wasn't broken.
With enough money thrown at it, anything can go fast, clearly. I'm sure back in their day, the Buick stuff was badass. Have you ever messed much with LS stuff? If you haven't you might like it a lot. There's a lot of performance/$. In my experience, the same cannot be said for oddball stuff, because it all costs more. |

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Jeff, it was really nice to meet you at HRPT. Sorry that I couldn't run with you guys the next day, the rain kept me from replacing that fuel pump in a timely manner. Hopefully we will get another chance to have the Blazers pose together.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
The clunker was definitely a hit at Automotion a few weeks ago:

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
My buddy just picked up a Mustang MD-500 dyno and opened a dyno shop in here town. We had a dyno day on saturday, so I threw it back on the rollers and leaned on it a bit more.
Made 625 hp / 630 tq at 14 lbs of boost. Nailed it and kept it pinned till the rev limiter at 6900. lol. I'm pretty happy with that. Made 15 more hp that a supercharged Viper that made 720 hp at a dyno across town. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...psea5a4b3d.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...psd6aaa4ce.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps2fcf161e.jpg |

Sweet! I bet it's a handful...:metal:!

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Yea it's a lot of fun. I must have the suspension and tire combo dialed in though, because she hooks and books.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Bet the Viper guy was bummed. lol

Here's the blown viper. Put down 615.
Here's my other bud's Viper T/A. I think it has headers and a tune. Made 500ish if I recall. |
Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Awesome!

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
One more vid. These are actually the first few pulls. It got all rowdy and tagged the spark cut limiter....had it in manual tap shift mode, and didn't realize it was in 1st gear, not 3rd. lol. Gave the audience a good scare with some flames out the downpipe and wastegate dump.
:devil: |
Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build

Hit the dyno again last night. Decided to finally turn up the wick a bit. Ended up at 23 lbs of boost and soft timing.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
So just curious, does the body creak and pop like crazy with that much HP? I have to imagine it puts a serious twist into the body.
