My Corvette Life: 1990 Callaway Twin Turbo Project

[Never_Lift]

Guessing that the party is over. No new vids dropped in a month anyone heard the status of this project?

Chris just posted pictures on the Corvette Forum of his engine with the oil pan taken off. Thought that he might have posted something here. Maybe he still will.

Have enjoyed his videos. The one on starter removal explained why I wasn’t able to get the starter off 88-048. Wouldn’t have guessed you’d need to drop the pan a little.

I was just under my 88 Vert and it looks like there’s a bolt that’s going back thru the Callaway relo piece into the starter. I’m currently trying to replace my turbo water lines. Kevin

Just found update on the progress, Turbos got rebuild

Enjoy

I am very excited to see Rotomaster back to supporting these turbos!! That’s two owners this year that had rebuilds done.

[Jeroenvgfn]

When I did my Rotomaster rebuild I was in the assumption Rotomaster was out of business and I brought mine to a local Rallye car mechanic.
Mine is rebuild with Garrett parts.

Car was sold... On to the next owner...

Maybe now it will get better than a rattle can restoration.

Very curious on who bought it ?

Very curious on who bought it ?

well known Callaway enthusiast, restorer & collector. It stayed in the states.

Maybe now it will get better than a rattle can restoration.

Maybe the new owner will make a Vlog to continue the series and work

Maybe now it will get better than a rattle can restoration.

Agreed….and yes it most likely will. There is suspicion that the motor is shot. That will complicate the restoration as it cost will start to significantly exceed the value of the car
