Yarpos:
****!!!
The other day, I saw a banner across the top of my screen. It offered to update my Mozilla!!! I fell for it. Yipes, here came a big old **** site. I could not dump it by conventional means!!!
So, I restarted my machine. Thankfully, the garbage was gone. I'm far from a prude, but, at it's best, what other evils were there. Tons, I expect.
I got a "new" toy the other day. I went to a local thrift. Operated to support women in crisis. Definitely, a good cause. I donated a big bag of good stuff that I can no longer use. No rags, good stuff.
I was looking for a "work jacket". Cold weather on the way. No luck. Lots of apparent new odd lot donations. Only one got close. But fur on the collar!!!! Naah, I see why it was not sold at the original store, whatever it might be....
But, I sucumbed to the lure of an old digital camera. Why, don't ask.
Sony Digital Mavica. A mere 1.3 pixela. But, MPEGMOVIE capable.
and the recording feature is to 3 1/2 floppies. Old stuff, oh yeah.
But, guess what, this old Dell has a 3 1/2 drive slot.... It came with several of them. I gotta slide them in and see if anything is on them!!! I hope that doesn't pry on someone's privacy.
It is kinda clunky when compared to my old Olympus and Canon
cameras!!!

XJ6Jonny,
Thanks. Guys with similar engine builds are putting out between 500-600 rwhp and of course torque a lil' lower than that with a 78/75 turbo. I'm looking to run 91 octane with conservative boost(10lbs?) to keep detonation down and that's going to keep me on the low side of that range. It's basically going to be a very stock build except for forged rods/pistons, heavier valve springs, head studs and bigger injectors. I'm using Sloppy Mechanics and LS1tech builds for guides. My goal is to catch a few people out at stoplight grands prix and some "Holy Jesus!!!!!" moments with passengers. Should be fun.
Also, using 1983turbojaguarxj6's intercooler setup as inspiration for my intercooler setup.

The car has been up and running since last June but many refit's and reworks had to be done. Getting the drive shaft level and square took me to a new education level. The air conditioning had to be moved to the other side but I am proud to report. 46 degree F at a cruise at 94 degree ambient temp in August with R-134a Freon. I am on to the exhaust utilizing the 95 XJR-6 catalytic converter hooking up to a new stock exhaust. Found a company that is making me new cushion covers for the seats. Got plenty to do still.

Wow, looks nicely done, I see a lot of high dollar parts.
May I suggest some low dollar parts that look expensive... R&M wire looms and some custom length wires. I made my own custom wires, it was much lower cost and easier than I thought.

Gboy:
Nice work. I see that you are not far up the road. How do you plan to deal with CA's gawdawful smog regs. They stifle more than they fix.
Last month's Hot Rod had a nice piece on a similar turbo on SBC install. A kit, nonetheless. Some parts made sense, others not so much. Fixes needed.
