1987 Iroc Turbocharged TPI 350 burnouts and donuts

[goteverything1]

This car looks and sounds very fuckin show and weak in power,,

[Willielupo404]

Hey i have a Chevy TPI and was wondering about how much did it cost you to do the whole turbo setup? like the total price, everything you had to pay for to turbo charge it. Thank you very much!

[zz3astro]

@Willielupo404 When I figured up what it would cost to duplicate everything I did to turbocharge the stock engine with the ebay T70 turbo, it came out at $3600. You'd need to build the transmission to handle it so that is an additional cost. If you go to Google and search for 'how much does it cost to turbocharge iroc", the first result should be my mentalsocket page. It has a breakdown of the parts and costs.

@zz3astro Thank you very much. I read all through your website last night actually. Its all awesome. I guess 3600 isn't that bad. Im don't know very much about transmission tweaking though. I actually Have a 1971 Chevelle that i had put a tpi in out of a wrecked corvette. computer and all and it runs strong and great but i really wanted to turbo it for as low as possible. I'm sure i will need transmission work though. right now i got a muncie 4 speed in it

hey how do u get the burnout rubber off ur fenders?

[zz3astro]

@3rd4thgenFbody Let's just say it was a good thing the car is black. After painting my car I went to the drag strip. A friend of mine handed me blue masking tape, which I used over my silver stripe - but he didn't show up with it until I'd made a few passes.. so I have a spec or two that won't come off. In the future I will try using this 3m Liquid-Dry Masking that I'm using on the car during the engine bay paint.. I think it would work perfect by spraying on the morning of the track visit

@zz3astro ya i wish i would thought of something like that my fenders have quiet a bit on them and i dont wanna ruin them by trying to scrape it off... ill probly just have to leave it on

That Car Is Sick Now I Kinda Wish Id Kept My Red One LOL

[IROCaTPI]

hmmm maybe i might just have to throw an turbo on my 5.0 iroc, whats an recomended turbo to use and how much did you pay for your turbo + intercooler? sweet vid though!

[kcdadoughboy]

thats sweet man, did it have that many miles on when you put the turbo on, you would think a turbo on an engine with that many miles would tear it apart.

[zz3astro]

@kcdadoughboy Thanks.. no, I had just gotten it running with the turbo when I shot this video. Now 10 months later it's still running strong, in fact I just got my intercooler installed completed and within a day the transmission started slipping in second. It's really making some decent power with the intercooler and 12 psi. I've put close to 4000 miles on it with the turbo, about to click over on 145k.

I can't believe how quiet it is...normally that would be considerd a bad thing but in this case it's pretty cool

[KyleP133]

Speed Limit 15 LOL

[camaroiroc85350]

Bad ass man. I have been researching turbocharging my iroc myself

[marcuskicker]

that looks like fun.....have an all stock 89 iroc....how much is that set up? and what is involved? and do you keep the mass air flow meter?or what?would love to have more info. thanks guys....

[liquorhard]

Nice vid ,damn that car sounds good,I would like to try a turbo on my 350 spare motor i have as a back-up.

[pyrows666]

i would Like to do a twin turbo set up on my 5.0 after i convert to TPI do you have any idea if the block will hold? and hold to what? hp or boost

[zz3astro]

305's are pretty stout when it comes to boost. I don't think you'd have a problem running 8-10 psi safely, maybe more. Even if it does blow up, stock 305's are easy enough to get a replacement for cheap.

[pyrows666]

This is the best 3rd gen fbody video in the world.. Good Job with the set up!!! how is that mega Squirt working for you..

[zz3astro]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm loving the Megasquirt so far, with almost no problems. I am having a minor issue with the IAC motor being a little inconsistent, but it does have 141k miles on it so could just be worn a bit! :-)

Awesome vid
