Default Man I hate working on cars, LOL

There's no room!! Thought you all might be interested in what I have been working on the past week. Built the hot side for a turbo going in a 96 TA LT1 car for a guy on LS1Tech. The turbo is a T76 and the headers are stainless from SSAutoChrome, actually fit pretty good. Only had to modify 2 of the tubes on the drivers side and have a nice 1/2 thick flange on them. Also had to weld the V-bands on them. The rest of the kit is mild steel that he is going to have ceramic coated. He is going to do the cold side and inter cooler him self this winter. I think it came out pretty good. I like projects like this where I only have to do one part of the job and they have to figure out all the hard stuff

Well, since your a Dmax man you should be use to working in tight places. I'm not sure what is worse...working on a Dmax or a Powerstroke when it comes to room.
Looks like you did a great job! Congrats!
Are you going to talk him into your drug problem next? We just purchased a Mazda Speed6, and my partner had to put a stage II gasser kit on it at 500 miles. Big differance...I was surprized. Our wives were a little upset, but you would think they would get use to our addiction already lol.

Oh jeez! 4.8 I see says the blind man.
Most gasser guys get alittle funny when you tell them to inject water/meth into their engines. I guess its hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

Yes, it is amazing what companies like PPE or EFI Live can do with a Dmax.

Excelent work! Everything looks great. I know what you mean about working on cars, those F bodys are tight under the hood. LT1's are pretty cool too, I envy all of their head bolts.
