Well just opened up a fab/powdercoating/sandblasing/welding shop in
northern va/dc metro area and decided to overhall my s10 to start things off.

Some background on me, i was the one to fab up the mounts and install
the 2jz in the red miata thats all over the internet a few years ago as
well as one of the firsts to swap a ls1 into a mustang about 5 years
ago!

As of January the s10 had a 6.0 and a m112 blower on it but the blower
was stolen and i decided to go turbo with it. Everything was done in
house from narrowing and building the 9in rear to wiring it all up.
Heres some pics along the way until now.

I'm loving it! I to will be turbo'n the S10 after I supercharge it. I might hit you up for some questions on the intercooler and stuff. BTW have you posted on s10forum.com? Blackx did a 6.0 with a 88mm turbo??? and ran 9's last year and this year shooting for 8's.

 

Looks sick man! Where you located in VA? Ill have to PM you a local forum a buddy of mine started. We try meeting up a couple times a year.

 

Badass build. Nice work!

 

Nice looks clean that turbo in the bed is a nice setup

 

Baad!! Need vids!!!

 

Looking good man! Sucks to hear some *** stole your blower, but I guess your on to better things(turbo). Any reason your running such a large drop block in the rear? How does it hook?

 

Thats a cool *** setup, I used to have a S-10 and have always wanted to due another S-10. This thread isn't helping.

 

Are you going to sell the intake for the super charger ?
I am looking to do something to my truck since i picked up
a super charger from a Buick Rivera that needed front bearings.
how much do you sell those traction bars for ? I have a 2010 Colorado 5.3
i could use a set of them.
