Twin Turbo 455 Buick Skymaro

[roberbmx]

how many hp have this car? and how many litres consume at 100 km or 60 miles? nice car for europe :P

[rizzlaxl]

too me it sounds stock with broken mufflers.

[turbo455skymaro]

2000 Viper Blue

[megabigcesar]

what color this

[usundacars]

ok thx^^

i hope my 440 will sound like this ;)

[usundacars]

sounds an normal 455 like this TT too????

or sound it completly different???

[turbo455skymaro]

I am not sure what your are asking. But if you are asking if my TT455 setup sounds like what a non turbo 455 would sound like the answer is yes real close.

[usundacars]

do you buy this engine or has you build it by your self????

i love this sound

[turbo455skymaro]

I built it. It is just a low compression very small cammed stock rebuild with 3" exhaust with glass pack style mufflers.  Glass packs on a turbo car sound different because the turbo's knock out a lot of the engine noise before it gets to the glass packs.

[Pookie2419]

it damn near almost sound like a diesel engine.

[TerminatorFRA]

@Pookie2419 It's normal, it doesn't have thumb size pistons like on imports or mopeds.

[Pookie2419]

@TerminatorFRA oh i know that. it just somewhat sounds similar to a diesel engine.

[Woodsballerman]

WTF? My two favorite cars of all time had sex with each other and had a kid? BONER!

[6669990]

what muffler do you have? and headers?

[turbo455skymaro]

@6669990

I am running 3" in and out glass packs and the headers are turbo log manifolds by burton machine.

[Rabbitmcillioch]

Thank you and sweet car

[Rabbitmcillioch]

What size turbos did you use?

[turbo455skymaro]

they T4's Cold side is .60 and the hot is 1.05

[Ajacques8000]

u can tell the sound of a buick anywhere, it sounds exactly like my 70 455 Riviera

[onedayillpay]

sounds crazy... dont brake it lol

[turbo455skymaro]

The car was originally a 74. The way to tell a 74 is that it has the same roof line and back window as the 70-73 but has the big bumpers like the 74-75. All I did was put upper and lower valence and grill from I think it was a 70. And the hood is a L-88 like the Baldwin camaros had.

[MiracleMile90]

@turbo455skymaro: Not my style, but it does look nice though ;-).

[johntaheri]

is it 1/2 and 1/2 71 frt and 75 bak end ??

[SLODWN]

That camaro would really look nice if you had the right body to go with that front end or vise versa.

[turbo455skymaro]

All I did was bolt a piece of flat stock to each side of the crossmember. Then put both halves of motor mount on engine then set engine in bay. Tack weld each bottom half of mount to flat stock pull motor mount bolt then pull engine. Unbolt each piece of flat stock finish off the tack welds and there you go custom frame mounts without changing stock cross member. It bolts and unbolts like a stock motor.

[SirCuddles2006]

please tell me where you got the mounts/adapter plates! I installed a 1970 x-sf code 455 in my 71 Cheyenne pickup. I call it "Project Cheylark". My mounts work, but not good. I made them out of 3in. channel steel. And don't say anything about ebay, nothing turns up. How about the return address from the place you bought the parts from. If you didn't buy the motor mounts can you get me some pics of the mounts you have? THNX for the A-1 vid. My favorite motor, in my favorite brand of car/truck.

[todd6126]

As was stated before, the name "Skymero" is a take on the heritage of the components. I can speak from experience that the Buick 455 has more torque than any other big-block engine. Nice to see a Chevy body planted with a "REAL" big-block...

[81TransAmJunkie]

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything but what the hellis a skymaro, I've never heard of it and I've searched the web and I can't find one anywhere

[Draganeyes]

hmmmmm lets use some deductive reasoning :) buick has a skylark... ok and then chevy has a camaro ok we got that so when u put camaro parts on a skylark its no longer s kylark u haft achange the name hmmmm... camaro+skylark=skymaro W00T good job team :)

[adokenk3nnbasil]

nice car...

good sound

[midnitesquirldog]

i need a 455 in mine with the turbo charger nice car .............

[turbo455skymaro]

The guy who built mine offers a kit for 455 or 350 buicks on ebay. You can buy whole kit or just pieces. Just search for buick 455 turbo on ebay

[bjlred]

might need a little more help to find these kits. a search on ebay as you said turns up nothing. have a 79 firebird and a 455 olds , very interested in doing something similar

[Cadjira]

Wow. I used to have a '72 formula 400 firebird & now have a 455 Buick convertible. Reminds me of both, but mashed together w/some spools for added fun. This thing's like way kewl & looks like its tons of fun! Enjoy.

[matthewt2010]

Nice Car, man. Gotta have that Buick Big Block!

[herbienbrian]

neat, you took the best of three worlds and made somthing fucking awesome!

[MagicalMrSkylar]

u can tell its a buick and not an olds 455...thats fer shure

[turbo455skymaro]

Do you mean that in a good or bad way?

[MagicalMrSkylar]

good

[Metallik695]

Hey are you in OR? It looks like you got Oregon plates on. Which track do you run at? I am at PIR about every weekend and woodburn about every other month.

[turbo455skymaro]

Yes I am in Oregon. I run at Madras dragstrip on the other side of the mountain.

[deeznutz557]

I am simply making you aware that driving is a privilage and not a right. LOL. Secondly I am not hiding I am right here. Standing on a crosswalk :P

[firechicken76]

wow....amazing!

[deeznutz557]

hey idiot, why don't you take your car to the track intead of making an ass out of your self on youtube. can't you see the playground and children playing in the background. idiot!!!

[turbo455skymaro]

There are no kids in my yard. and only the oldest was aloud to watch from the porch. The kids you hear, came running out after the fact. However, why would you talk to someone the way you did. And to top it all off you are wrong. People like you are always so tuff and rude. when you are hidding befind a keyboard.

[jasonv8]

That's a sweet car, very different to the norm. Cool!

[michaelstolz]

deffinatly not turbo'd

[turbo455skymaro]

Why do you think that. Did you check out the other video that shows under the hood. I'm curious as to how an expert like yourself could think that there is definitely no turbo.

[kuandkcfan]

It has two turbos. Check the link before you comment.

[SkyMaro]

Car be stealin my name!

[turbo455skymaro]

Now you have a cool car to go with your name. Is that your real name or just a screen name.

[SkyMaro]

Real

[Gastualfulkan]

That is just flat out bad ass.

[slowride55]

skymaro?

[turbo455skymaro]

Skkymaro is a combination of Skylark and Camaro. It is a 74 Camaro with A twin turbocharged Buick 455 engine. Skylark is one of the more popular buick models. it is the same as a Chevelle. So because it is buick powered I mashed Skylark and Camaro and named it a Skymaro.

[slowride55]

k i get it now

[tommylord]

Sounds great.

[OldsPowered69]

dang, totally sounded like cut exhaust until you reved it and the turbo's spooled...

super sleeper, sounds like a turd, but performs like the dickens!!!

nice!!!!

keith

[vochitoken]

Hey, let see the engine...

[KMScarboy]

that thing sounds just like my dad's 41 dodge luxury liner did at idle with its 455 that was bored .30 over with a stage 1 cam and an Edelbrock intake and carb...

[lioneltrainzrock]

i have a 455 in my 66 impala its a beast

[P11GT]

[badassgarage]
