Twin Turbo Saturn Sky Build

[LT1Pat]

I've been working on this project for a few months and I was able to finally start it today. The engine is a pieced together LS7 from used parts and a 4L80E. The only thing that I didn't keep was the a/c. It still has power steering and heat. Everything still fits under the stock hood.

That's gonna be fun.

That's awesome. What are the plans for it? Street car? Got any more details/pics of the build?

 

[Hugger Z]

Holy cow! That is great!

 

[LT1Pat]

This is going to be more of a daily driver as opposed to what most people call a "street car". I plan on putting a lot of miles on it, especially if I can sneak out of the driveway in the morning without upsetting people.

Here's a few more pics:

Transmission fits ok?!?!? Wowzers... why not a T56?

Wowzers.

 

[LT1Pat]

It's an extremely tight fit, but it fits. T56 would have easily fit, but it is a turbo car and manuals don't play very well with turbos.

Very cool project. I've always liked the Skys with LS swaps.

Dry sump? 427 or 388

 

[LT1Pat]

427, I converted the LS7 to wet sump using an LS3 balancer, crank spacer, C6 oil pan, and drilled the block for the dipstick.

Looks great!!! Curious, what filters are you using for your turbos?

 

[LT1Pat]

They're low clearance vibrant performance filters. They're a little small, but it's about all I could fit.

Love the platform, nice build looks sweet. How do you plan on putting that power down?

Wow that is going to fly...my Ls7 that i converted to wet sump and added +.005 pistons and a cam and carburetor went 9.61@141 on motor with pump gas in a 2,800 fox Mustang..

 

[LT1Pat]

I think it will end up being near the same weight as your mustang but I'm not sure how fast I can really go on an IRS. It's really just meant to be a fun car that retains the handling of a sports car. I have a set of the new style brembo cts-v two piece rotors and 6 piston calipers that I'm going to be installing w/19" wheels.
