[Diy_efi] Vortec 4200 Inline 6 ECM - Twin Turbo -

[Brien Tourville]

It was a good 'heads up' !   

Forget eBay >  go to:

www.car-parts.com and punch in year
2005 for the engine ( best ) and take a look.

I had the good fortune yesterday to obtain
the ONLY photograph from GM taken of 
their Vortec Twin Twin Turbo 4200 engine.

It is a beast of a .jpg > being some 5.4MB
which I had a copy of reduced to some 2MB.

It isn't the Turbo setup in the Truck, as this
has the Turbos sporting bellmouth stack styles
and hugging the block > regardless, it is cool.

sorry to have gotten your hopes up so high everyone, but there wasnt
really an article about the car.  it's in the september 05 (currently
on shelves, i would think) but is only mentioned in a paragraph and a
picture because he  placed 18th in their Pump Gas Drags.  apparently,
this was the car's first shakedown and he averaged 9.612 with a best
of three at 9.245 @ 145.86.  wow.  from the picture i can see a 
pretty
hefty turbo and what appears to be a custom sheetmetal intake with
what i also think is a custom fuel rail and injector setup.  i havent
seen a stock version of the engine, so i cant say what else is new.  
i
am hoping that the car will raise enough ruckuss to have hot rod do a
real article on the car.  the section also mentions that he is signed
up for their Drag Week, which should be quite the separator of street
cars from so-called street cars.  the gist of it is that they have
five strips taht you have to drive the car to and race in a week.
nobody following you, a trailer on your car if you want, and race gas
if you can carry it all with you.  sounds cool.

thanks for all the info on the I6 and id like to keep the discussion
going.  it looksl ike you can have one of these engines for ~$1k.
anybody know what the ebay versions include?
