Nice to see a C4 getting some luv.
mike force he made a mistake there’s no way this is a c3. With a c4 body
When's the Manual Transmission Conversion
@@klausschreyer7062 Manual Transmission??? That....would be a Stupid!!! thing to do on that particular car.
C4 Corvette, interesting choice. The C4 does display the engine the best of any corvette with the clam shell hood.
As the owner of a 1990 ZR-1, I can appreciate the tight quarters under that clamshell. Beautiful, inside and out, amazing, you guys take it to the top level. 👍👍🏁🏁
He called it a C3 LOL
Who cares, he's Tom Nelson. He can call it dog shit and I'm still buying!!
Was about to say the same thing. 😆
It was A c4...but it went so fast,it went back in time...and passed Marty...so now it's a c3...yo... Nice
Naw I thought I was the only one who noticed
Ya I caught that , I've had c4 , now have c5. Honest mistake 😃
I've watched this video 15 times over the past 2 years and love it even more every time I watch it. Tom Nelson for president!!
Same!
GOOD TO SEE TOM NELSON BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL!!
GREAT CAR TOO!!
I could watch this video every week. So I do.
While you guys tested the corvette i had the same smile the passenger had 🤦😏 you guys made a beast power corvette. Man u guys amazing 🙏👍
Awesome to see ya back Tom!
1700 hp, a cage, and no seat belt
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like that would help
At least get the hard top
im not ridin init that death trap with no hard top
One of the baddest modified vets I've ever seen.
My god that engine is so "EVIL LOOKING" I friggin love it....Nelson you are a GENIUS sir!!!!!! Talk about "OVERKILL"...lol....I love it...C4
Brilliant! Outstanding Engineering! What a Monster! The whole car is beautiful.
Just what everyone needs in those CA hillsYou build some SICK machines Tom
I wish I could afford having Mr. Nelson modify my car.
You guys never surprise me. Awesome!
I am just so impressed with everything you do with engines. Way out of my league, but I can dream at 69 years old!
If you ever want to take a ride along in my c7 Z07 twin turbo 88mm with a fully built billet lt4 all fuel tech with 2500whp just let me know.im in Louisiana but we do travel all the time racing it. It’s a true street car and can drive anywhere. Let me know ok might even let you drive it a bit. Your comment just caught my eye and I thought why not offer. Hope everything is well on your end my friend until next time Godspeed brother...
@@kyleburlette2196 my guy, all the best to you!!
@@JosephHernandez-ml6gn and to you as well my friend. Hope you have a great day.
@@kyleburlette2196 thank you man! And you have a great rest of your day brother!! Take care man
@@kyleburlette2196 wow what an amazing offer Kyle, god bless brother and keep that Z safe!
ohhh man i missed these videos
Good grief this thing is a Monster and is Beautifully built ! Love the car brother ! I mean it don't get no matter than that partner ! Thanks for sharing! 😁
That's the cleanest TT C4, ever. Quite a spicy spoolyboi!
I love the coilover setup. Everything is so clean! Amazing car.
Man that thing is beautiful
I hope to make my 91 that slick one day!
Nice vid bro
Solid quality work... absolutely top notch...
Thx Bro, this C4 is my dream Corvette.
Very good job 👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻🇨🇵
Try changing the spark plugs on that!! Lol
My 500hp C4 is fast haha this is insane, I love America 🇺🇸😁👊
What mods do you have on it?
More than likely it’s a 383 stroker, that’s what I have and it’s over 500hp
@@chancelessard3285 what else do you have on top of your 383? I have an 84 and it came with the CFI so I want to swap it out for something and get at least 400hp on it. Don’t really know much about what goes into an engine but I’d like to build this corvette faster. I do have my friend who’s a mechanic same as his dad that sold me the corvette so I’ll probably ask him too!
@@daniellucatero-jimenez.1440 What did you find out about your engine?
Amazing build, super clean. One thing I love is now the battery is accessible getting to the battery in a stock C4 is a pain XD
This is art.
Awesome build . those vettes have zero room under the hood love the c3-c4's . 👍
Beautiful and awesome C4
So much motivation.
Good job!!… that thing is sick!!!!!! One of the cleanest best builds I’ve ever seen especially in that year. I had an 88 convertible same color same top NOT that motor though lol WHOA!!!
Tom, I am so happy to hear you say that you didnt do the cage, I would have paid you to fix it, damn that is a piss poor upper loop.
Has such good street car potential, with the exception of that murder bar next to the head.
That bar is moronic.
I would love to see a top speed run in that,wow it's insane.
I'd love to see it get traction in any gear lol
Tom how have you been. You are the best,
awesome work.
nicely done!
I agree c4 I have a c3 discontinued in 1982. I wish I had one of Nelson Racing Engines for mine.
A work of art. ✌🏻🇺🇸💙
Love those rims!
Wow... I really want one. Even if it's a regular c4, with light up dash.
My 88 same condition as this all original! But his car is insane love it!🤘👍😎
Fkn wow, incredible build.
Has a 1700hp vette and a callaway c4 in there too!! Callaway would be a daily lol
oh man i need my corvette to be like this
love it man,... i got n old 1970's 2 bolt main 400 from an air boat.. laying under my bench. and a 91 triple black 6 speed.. come do mine next plz..
Had a red C4 a few years ago.. it was an ‘87 car with the L98 engine. Nice, but definitely not the quickest..even with the stainless Borla I got bored, sold it and bought a TVR
Did you do anything about that red hot manifold almost touching the brake lines at the master cylinder? I imagine it won't end well left like that.
Been experimenting with trying fans from twin engine yacht engine compartments that exhaust fumes to pull heat from Corvette engine compartment and duct it out thru fender wells or behind front tires. Could possibly exit thru vents cut in the hood since heat rises neway. Got 671 BBC blown Pro Street 64 Corvette but don't run hood on it so that helps it cool. If you cant get the heat out it don't matter how much radiator and fans you have. Heat acts like a barrier to air tryin to come thru the radiator.
Wonder how the Vette's doin' about now? Awesome Work!
Are safety belt optional in that state? I was expecting 4 point harness for that much horsepower.
That thing is going to hurt some feelings 😮
is that a stock dana44? and what kind of transmission can able to accommodate that kind of Power?
At 1.10, it says C3 Corvette... Nope, it's a C4 Corvette... BUT what an engine! Holy cow! I love to know how much that engine bay is worth!
This is Epic I have triple black convertible 1988c4 owned for 31 yrs has low miles emissions deleted headers full exhaust bigger twin throttle body 58 instead stock 52. I'm debating what gears to put in rear 3.42 or 3.73 automatic 700r4 any ideas? Much appreciated 🙏
Wow...
well come back tom nice c4 with the twins
Having black powder coated engine parts, does that help any with heat?
The love of hitting the slightest road imperfections in a Corvette.
Wicked!
Cage and no helmet use. The owner is a genius!
How does that header/exhaust heat not melt the tires?
How do pack so much joy in a C4!
Bad ass !
I literally clicked on the video because I thought the title was BS'n. Till I saw it was a NRE car. Lol
I would love to have this done to my 1990 vet
Sweeeeeeet. Now how many arms and legs do I need for this?
Nelson Racing needs to open up a shop in Austin!!!
Thats a clean build. The motor looks like it belongs and I know GM didnt leave a bunch of extra room for turbo stuff. Very wicked car considering most dont suspect them of being very peppy.
How much will the same set up will go for t ?
You are clearly a master class builder. .. the octane on demand is amazing!
Just curious, why call the engine a motor? Just an old habit from the teen years?
Anyway, your builds are epic! Bin watching your videos since you broke 1000hp and I couldn't believe you did that with a small block!
God bless, and thank you for another great video :)
They always look so serious.
Oh hell no! As soon as you spy that upper roll cage bar you better start thinking twice about what it's capable of. I have seen some interesting C4's before. Like a guy that was running an all aluminum race prepared big block in a 91 roadster with a six speed . Slicks on the back skinny up front and through mufflers. It pulled the front wheels up about eye level if you raced him.
how fast does it go? 1/4 mile and 0-60
How much did it cost u?(I wanna replicate it)
Talk about a head knocker with those roll bars by ur temple. Awesome build tho
A terrific build. A couple of things I still don't understand though. Why the rollcage's tube is lower than the driver's head?) The exhaust system is asking for an H-pipe where they come together, but there's none. And no cats - is it street legal? But still - a fantastic piece of work...
I’m curious about that rollcage too.
What rear axle did you install to handle that hp?
Good question. I've been told that's the weak point for building big power on the C4's.
How did you guys stop the leak at the coolant cap every C4 has? Lol.
???
How much was this build. I Have 2 c4's and want that in one of them.
That’s like a 30,000 dollar engine
I went with the same setup,,, I spend 19,328.72 c
Nice c3!!!!!!!!!!!!
What transmission are you using?
This looks a lot like Fasterproms C4. C4's are aging well.
99.999% of c4s did not age well at all..lol
Does anyone know how much it cost to install a twin turbo kit, on an '87 Vette?
Cca. 5k to do it properly for the engine alone (assuming you do majority of labour) plus an other roughly 5k for supporting mods (exhaust, suspension, frame, brakes etc.)
Put a dana 44 in it and you will never break it. i had a C4 in 1999 with a 100mil turbo (turbonetics) and a 406 Car made 1100whp and ran 8.4@180 with a dana 44 and 1992 aluminum half shafts.
King Vette really? Stock d44?
I call BS.
@@thereflection7225 i have a c4 with a dana 44 in it right now. Putting a 1000hp lq4 408 in it this week. So we will see if thats true.
@@akassasin5768 get it done?
Pretty good for a street car
What’s the cost of this conversion? And what type of wheels are those? Are they Shelby series 1 wheels?
Where can I buy it
Curious because I also have a C4 from 1986, but what was your estimated mpg with this much hp?
about 2 gallons per mile
If you can afford a build like that you dont care.
Very nice and clean!!..bad ass c4👍👍💪💪now lets race high hp vehicles😁
it;s a C4....The last C3 ended 1982. This car is an 89 C4..
Thanx
“C3 corvette” nope this is a c4 ... c3s look much older.
I want one how much for motor i gots a 85 corvette
What year is this C4?
It’s a sweet ass Vette would like that done to my C4 but would love to have a 572 C.I
Yes, although this TT makes almost twice the power, what does that HP & torque curve look like? This is the fault of big power turbos, all or nothing..low & slow torque off the bottom, & the "on off switch" when it makes boost...as the power climbs too rapidly, the rears break loose immediately & you can't catch it. Give me a smooth, big, power & torque curve...only possible with lots of cubes...downfall?, the extra weight. PS, nobody is going to think this is a plain vanilla C4 Corvette, the bling bling wheels, the roll-cage & the too loud exhaust?, really?
Very nice what you did with the Corvette very nice I'm a Corvette fan what could you do with an automatic 1994 Corvette how much horsepower can you get out of that with an automatic
Depends on the engine and how much money you have to play. In theory, the sky is the limit as you can swap the motor and transmission.
I had a black 90 convertible
a SPECVETTE CHASSIS WITH Nelson TWIN mirror Turbo Engine!!
price
I want to know how you managed to keep a stock rear end while putting out 1700hp
The rear tires act like a fuse lol, 1600hp but it can only put down 400 with those tires.
The roll cadge could use some work. Nice car
