The Life of... Twin Turbo 460

I got a little nostalgic and put together a photo slide show of project TT460 covering the car from concept to its last drag strip passes before I dismantled it and sold the parts.  The project was started around 1996 as an idea to build an ultimate sleeper, I think I finally parted everything out and sold it around 2006.

I hope you enjoy watching as much as I did making the video.  Click the image below to follow through to the video.

Matt Swartzlander's TVS Supercharged Truck
Matt Swartzlander's TVS Supercharged Truck

I've posted in the description in the videos of Matt's Swartzlander's truck that it is receiving somewhat of a makeover.  I don't have anything in terms of what the truck is going to look like when it's complete, but I do have a shot of the motor after it came back from the engine builder.

  • Displacement now 6.6L
  • Another "prototype" Eaton TVS R1900 blower, this time with a front-inlet
  • Magnuson lower intake/custom upper intake designed by Matt to accommodate new blower and intercooler core
  • Initial Dyno results: 730hp/800+ lb/ft of torque@ 8.5lbs of boost (using stock exhaust manifolds)

Jim Sheren and I finished up the exhaust last night and it looks SWEET!  All that was left to do was fabricate a hanger for the tailpipe and we finished that up and bolted everything onto the car.  Fit and finish is awesome.

Before the tail-pipe hanger was complete, I took this photo-op to get some pictures of the exhaust while it was off the car.  You've really gotta see them full-size to appreciate them.  I am so happy with the way the exhaust turned out.  I'll be leaving the exhaust uncoated the way it is until after the PowerTour and then I'll be pulling it off to get it ceramic coated.

Just to recap the specs on the exhaust:

  • 2 ½" primary down pipes with mandrel bends
  • 2 ½" into 3" Y-pipe from Flowmaster
  • 3" straight pipe into Dynomax Ultraflow welded muffler
  • 3" tail-pipe with mandrel bends
