Devo Project: Turbo 5.3L Belair

[Mike@Devo2ning]

Good deal. Also, it's a stock motor. If it gets hurt, throw another one in!

Exactly! I'm not overly concerned. Spring should be awesome. Lots in store for the car.

Stop scaring everyone. You're going to have people running into Home Depot like it's Black Friday for some stainless screen. :rollpicard:

I haven't carnage that bad before on a street car. All I've seen is heavily scratched cylinder walls, pitting on the valves, and slightly nicked up turbine wheels.

We'll have to see where it's at the end of the evening tonight then we'll decide dyno or not tomorrow if avail. Worst comes to worst we wait till dry roads.

Neither one of those compressor wheel failures was from FOD.

I would hazard a guess as to creep failure on both of them, probably from overspeed. (blown off intercooler pipe?)

heavy surge could do it too.

So the nice weather prompted the making of a short fun video. Those 1980's tires smoke pretty good! More street tuning today. This week I'm planning to strap it down on the dyno just to see where it's at right now.

Finally had the car out with a proper camera. Cruised to the palatine photos hot dogs for lunch with Frank (Outlaw) and Josh (crazy eyes). Frank was driving the 5.0 and Josh was on camera duty. Here's the video we threw together.
