At this point it leaves one to wonder if it's worth it selling the truck and the turbo kit separately lol

 

I've thought of that too. But I don't feel like doing the work lol

 

In case anybody doesn't know about these turbos...

 

 

hmmmmm wonder what second hand market for those turbos is lookin like

 

Probably a lot like expensive exotic vehicles. Only worth what the buyer can afford unless you find someone who is looking for them and can afford them. Being attached to a silverado instead of a gallardo kind of hurts their resale value

 

No way don't part the kit out, thing is a solid base for a daily racer.

Do you have some pics of the interior and what you did with the opening in the floor for the 4wd shifter?

The body in the pics looks excellent with no significant dings/dents. Can you maybe get a pic or two of the worst dings? Not too concerned with scratches as I'd probably fill some of the dings and just vinyl wrap it.

A photo or two of the underside as well showing the frame and the exhaust?

I'm interested but wanna get a good view before I decide to make the trip. NJ to MI isn't exactly around the corner.

 

This is definitely the biggest dent, and the one that bugged me the most.





Then the typical bedrail dings...been used as a truck before.



Little dent here, hard to see.







The whole turbo kit is modular, made with these keyed v-band clamps. If you ever need to swap an engine or transmission, everything comes apart in a couple minutes. Putting it back together is just as simple, and the v-bands being keyed makes it so they'll fit back together super easy and never leak due to misalignment. I always keep serviceability in mind with my projects. Also not sure what's up with the blue torque converter...just assumed it was an 85e thing lol. This was my first time running an 85 vs an 80, so I'd never seen one before.







Base model interior. Haven't changed anything inside other than the boost controller, wideband, t-case swap changes and some stereo work. I got the stereo equipment used and its a bit older, but it was quality stuff when it first came out. Has Infiniti door speakers with tweeters in the pillars (stole them at the JY from a Denali I think), Pioneer rear speakers, and Kenwood amplifier and a 10" Kicker subwoofer.









I planned to weld up the hole with some sheet metal and get some 2WD carpet or vinyl for the floor but never got around to it.



The difference between 0psi and 4psi is nice lol



Waiting for a buyer...

 

Jake. I want my speakers back....thief

 

No one's going anywhere with the AC that don't work... LOL
