Well, the Syclone Project has been at a little bit of a stand still for the past few months.....so I figured I'd jack with the Impala a little. Went ahead and threw some LT4 Heads, LT4 Intake and Hot Cam on it. Then we through some old turbo stuff that I had laying around from a previous project. So far this is what we've come up with.



For those of you that are familiar with the old LT1 stuff....you'll see that we modified the accessory setup. Ended up moving the alternator and power steering over to the other side of the motor...along with adding a few idlers. I have to give a big thanks to QIK SS and BRYN for all the help they give me. Without these two guys I'd spend a lot more time trying to get things made and have a lot more down time. They help me in a multitude of ways. Seriously....Thanks guys.







We've got the motor sitting in the car now and modifying the harness. Lengthening some things and flat out deleting others. I'll get some pictures of it in the car soon. Hopefully within the next month and a half....we'll have the intercoolers, pipeing and exhaust in the car. Now don't get me wrong guys. I'm not trying to break any kind of milestones with this car....just looking for a little bit more ummmph out of it. I think we all know how heavy the B-Body's are. I'm going to do my damn-dist to keep from going over board with this thing. Once we get it on the road....my full intention is to just drive it. But then again...when I bought it...my intention was to leave it alone and stock....lol. Guess that didn't go over too well. Once it's on the road....I'll concetrate on the Syclone again. Then....once the Syclone is finished....I'll build the forged cu.in. setup and upgrade the turbo's......lol. Still a daily driver ofcourse. Anyway.....as of right now....just wanted to share a little bit of the beginnings of this thing. Hope to have it on the road soon.

looks good! That thing should make some killer torque!

yeah but the motor isn't too extreme so the turbos should work out pretty good for that setup for now..

damn that looks killer , i bet bianca in drooling over that motor right now lol

Looking good man. It will be done before you know it.

I like the way you think the best things in life come in twins lol

Can't wait to see this thing complete....looks like it would be alot of fun! Those turbos should be pretty quiet I would think and make for a hell of a sleeper!

a forged 396 LT set up would be sick with a set of healthy twins!

Well I've got a butt load of stuff ordered for this thing....Intercoolers, charge piping, all the exhaust piping and even the new welder...lol. Now if I could just get off this jacked up 7 12's schedule...I just might be able to get something done on one these weekends....

Ok guys.....for those of you interested....we got a little bit done on the Impala this weekend. Finally got back on my normal schedule and had a weekend to work. I know you won't be able to tell....but we got a lot done even though we still need to do the charge piping and the exhaust. And yes....I know there's better ways to do the intake and filters....but I'm waiting until I change hoods. I'm not too cocerned about it being that I'm limiting the amount of boost and all....I'm not going for all out power yet. Anyway....here are a few pics of what the setup is looking like so far.....







Anyway.....the cooling system is all together, power steering is in and plumbed. We're at the point now that we just need to get the downpipes in, exhaust in and charge pipes in. Hopefully we can put a big dent in those things. Also....I went ahead and let it run for a while today and let everything get nice and warm. Surprisingly it ran really nice considering that we didn't even have the MAF or o2's plugged in. Next weekend I should be able to let it run with those two things functional and get the valves adjusted.

looks good! Looks like its on the home stretch. It won't be long now. What kind of transmission do you have in there? is it stock?
