[Function And Form] Sleeper DIY 10-Second Turbo C3… Part 4

Today Carl B. is jumping around to various projects, with more DIY electronics wizardry that will certainly impress

A key to a successful build like this is to adapt and make changes when necessary, and today is no exception. If you missed any previous episodes for Carl B.’s 10-second turbo build, (or need a review), here are the links: part one, part two, and part three. Each episode is a fairly quick read, with lots of pictures. Also, episode two has our first start-up video showcasing that monster turbo, and episode three has a cool video showing Carl’s custom-coded trans controller working flawlessly with the turbo-charged LS engine and transmission.

Viewer Advisory: This build has some serious meat on the bones, as Carl has some crazy technical skills (especially with electronics), and he is going to tap into all of them to turn his 1977 Stingray into a 10-second quarter-mile monster!
