wanted it to be a special
car, so he signed it and so did Graham Beham, an engineer who works for Lingenfelter
and one of the original project engineers on the ZR1."
Fitting
the ball bearing twin turbos into the engine bay was not an easy task. Probably
the most difficult engineering work was packaging. Lingenfelter had to route
the air to the turbos via stainless steel pipes inside the frame. The turbos
are hidden from the top, so the engine compartment looks stock except for
the big air box in the front. Youve got to put the car on a lift to
view the turbos. Lingenfelter fabricated new exhaust
manifolds which fit right up underneath the exhausts ports. The object was
to get the turbos as close to the exhausts as possible to minimize turbo lag.
