Default My buddy's turbo LS1 FD RX7

Cool looking setup...some awesome fab work done by a very good friend of mine.





It's a built 346 shortblock. Not sure on which turbo he's going to end up with, but that's obviously a temporary mount to mock up the rest of the piping. Can't wait for this beast to hit the street!

FD is like the chassis or body designation. Like F, G or A body in GM speak.

FB is the early, 1st generation bodystyle, FC is the late 80's bodystyle, and FD is the 93-97 bodystyle.

Light weight FD + LS1 = hot

I have seen a few N20 ones run at BMP.

im almost done with mine....it only has a measly lt1, but it wll be good for 550-600 before any adders. i also have a no2 plate kit that will be gong in with the motor. mine is a second gen (fc). maybe not as pretty, but i fit in it a whole lot better, and it is a little less fragile.

600 hp/ 2800 lbs= interesting ride!!!!
