The list is huge!
Intense heads and cams pkg stage 4, Diamond forged pistons 8.5:1, L32 con rods,
T4 turbo, Mishimoto intercooler, Flowmaster American Thunder cat back, 102mm throttle body, Fuellab regulator, Siemens Deka 60# injectors, ZZP roller rockers, Meziere electric water pump, Clevite bearings (rods and main), Intense oil pressure kit, ARP bolts and studs, and various things to connect them.

I have been waiting years to build a project car and will finally have time to do it.

Cool stuff! Good luck with your build! I know there is at least one other guy on here with a turbo camaro. Quick86 is his user name

Hey, that's me!

Nice to meet you Quick86! I will likely have several questions for you once I put all this together. Like "how will I get all the power to the wheels" or "why does me tune make my car sound line a lawnmower." This is my first 3800 build and my first Camaro but I have been turning wrenches for most of my life and have very high hopes. Very glad to have found this community!

Likewise! I probably would have skipped all the bottom end components, but if you have deep pockets and a good machine shop put it together for you it will have potential to be a monster. How big is your turbo? What cam and fuel pump are you planning to use?

 

[badmfmike]

Turbo is a T4. Cam is matched with the INTENSE head/cam package (stage 4 turbo cam) and I went with a fuellab adjustable regulator and AEM high flow in-tank pump.

 

[Quick86]

T4 is just a flange type. Do you have housing or wheel sizes? I'd love to get my hands on a good set of heads. Someday.

Oh yeah. She's gonna rip! Post results!

hi, looks like you got some serious potential. following your build for sure.

 

[badmfmike]

Landed a tko 600 to put behind it. I will be starting the tear down this weekend. Will post updates as I go. Probably start a build thread.

 

[Quick86]

As far as I know, you'll only be the second person to do that conversion. Let me know if you need help. I used a TKX, but everything should be about the same.
