- Today we got to check out Nathan's 1978 Cutlass supreme. Featuring an LS swap and Amazon turbos!!.... well just about everything was bought from amazon minus the fuel system! Which is just crazy! These turbos are rated to 600-700 and he has TWO of them!
In his words - "Amazon covid build. Wastegates, turbos, blow off valves, headers, all piping, oil lines and drains, v-bands, short radiator...heck, even the stainless studs for the headers came from Amazon."

The part where he talked about forgetting the worries of the day and just going for a drive hit me different. Great video!
Agreed! And thank you!
I came down here to the comments to say the same thing
Yeah, I let some truth slip out.
@@mr70camarors for sure!
Honestly tho
Boss: your fired
Regular guy: oh man I have to budget myself till I find another job
This guys boss: your fired
This guy: thank god I can finally turbo my car now!
It was a time and money problem. Question was, can I do it for almost zero dollars if I had all the time in the world? The answer is yes.
@@mr70camarors time? What's that lol not hatin salute bother bad ass beautiful car !
@@6.0joelsx60 time, that thing that didn't exist before 2020. I currently have a seemingly endless supply of time. Wish I could say the same about money.
He just used the unemployment money and stimulus checks for it, its stupid
@@stevephillips729 seem smart to me
another stimulus check put to good use.....
These are the cars I live for.
Regular guys with little to no money making shit happen with parts that most people scoff at.
Keep doin your thing man. You’re a true car guy!
🤘👊
Damn right, couldn’t have said that any better myself.
You built the “Villain” car from a decent 80’s B movie.
Sofa King Cool!
I love when people come up to talk to me about my car.
I do too when I have time to give it some justice. But I'm also introverted and am going a million miles a minute all the time.
This is the reason why I never go up to a person to tell them how nice their ride is. You never know if they feel like being bothered. I just admire it from a far.
Yeah. I'm extremely introverted and am usually in a hurry. But I don't mind showing it off when I have time.
@hot rod home stead don't get me wrong. I have no problems answering questions at a show or at the track. I'm just 100% not a people person in the general public and am always in a hurry. And this car seems to attract a lot of "that guys" who had a uncle that had one just like it.
@@mr70camarors my trans am gta was like that LOL my cutlass is bad too but with even worse crowd usally drunk old men

I think he was being sarcastic
it's the middle of the day and you're wearing sweats and holding a coffee, life can't be too bad...lol
Home made vanilla latte. My wife is the best. And this last year is to be known as "the year I wore nothing but pajamas".
Ikr he is to chill to be stressed about stuff like life
When I was 16 my first car was a 78 Buick Century. Same chassis but wrapped in an ugly 4-door slant-back style sedan body. I thought these 78-80 Cutlasses were stuff! I love what he's done with this car! These days the 81-87 G-Bodies are gettin' all the love from GM fans, especially the Buick Regal/Grand National. Not much is said anymore about these early G-Bodies but as this guy shows they offer a ton of potential at a fraction of the price.
Hello Nathan,Nice ride- i had a 79 2 tone green olds cutlass once...loved that car! It wasn't as hoped up as yours but 350 4 bolt was alright-- fast-.. i kept noticing my ass end was too light, finally, come across a rear hatch spoiler off of a 91 RS.. sanded it down, painted it in trim black, bolted in on, hooked up the 3rd brake light and it came out awesome! Made the ass end stay down and rode instantly better..plus allot of comps!
This thing is epic! Great video with a killer vehicle! Can't wait to see the next one.
Just extend a filler neck from the fuel cell to a small hole with a cap in the top of the fiberglass trunklid. That way you can simply flip up a lid to fill the cell without adding any significant weight.. and no random people talking/asking about your car.
I'm planning on something like that eventually. Buy for now, it's a pain I just live with.
My mother had a black on black 79 back in the mid 80s. Those cars were everywhere back then but hers was the best looking. Super clean car.
Found myself covid employed with a big unemployment check so I bought turbos 🤨
I had savings and I sold a few things. Found myself with all of this extra time, so all of my excuses were gone. I had no choice but to get it done. Didn't cost as much as you'd think either.
@@mr70camarors What was the total cost?
@@zakkcooper of just the turbo system? Headers, $100. Turbos, $249 x2. Wastegates, $40 x2. BOV, $35 x2. Universal intercooler piping, $120. Intercooler, $200. Drain hose and fittings, $78. Oil feed, $60. Feed adapter, $35. Exhaust piping, various sizes, $100. Misc fittings, v-bands, etc, $200. So, $1,549 to get it done and driving.
Then I added the boost controller, SEP 1500s, magnafuel 4303 pump, fuel cell, meth kit and swapped the cam later. I just most recently changed the wheels and tires, added coil-overs all around and swapped in the Ford 8.8.
Things like the engine, trans, converter, body parts, etc were part of the previous build.
This inspires me so very much. I have a black 78 with t-top with mint black leather interior. Olds 350 rocket, olds 350 turbo trans. It's been sitting in my mom's garage for 20 years. I'm fixing to dump 5k or more into a restoration. She passed away in 2018 so I'm bringing it back to life in her memory. It's gonna be a monster when I'm done with it.
Really love your Oldsmobile dude and you're doing it for all the right reasons
I took the first stimulus money and invested it into BTC & ETH. Sold it a few months later, and used the funds to buy a salvaged P90D that only needed some fiberglass work and a windshield. For what started as $2400, ended up with a :10 ride as well. 2020 was Nutz.
Nice Rare cutlass. You don’t see many 78’s with t-tops.
Makes me wanna chase my dreams
Do it. No ragrets. Not even one little letter.
This guy is the true street hero of today's hot rodders! Put the $60,000 muscle cars and trucks to shame, bro!
Thanks. Wish I could afford a $60,000 car! But I guess this will have to do.
@@mr70camarors But that's the whole point! You'll either be given the kind of respect of an equal by the high dollar players or their tails will be tucked like a scolded dog! Don't ya just love it!!!

Pin!
Nice video - a true shadetree hotrod. I love it!
That is a real beauty.
I love builds like this!!!!
Love this build 😍😍😍
Owning a unique vehicle attracts attention.
He gets unemployed, and spends more money on the car. Lol
His wife must have the patience of a saint! LOL
He could make money doing custom vehicles.

*"Honey, I'm sorry, that COVID check was about a third of what we were expecting.*
@@1nvisible1 lmao😂😂
You sir, just picked up a subscription.
Dude he lost his job and that gave him a reason to turbo his ls. I LOVE IT
Making lemonade with Chinese turbos.
Sweet build
Love it, great color choice as well.
Great build
Great video good too see any Gbody go faster from one PNW brother to another!
NICE BUILD.👍😎
Omg finally someone with a 78 79 thank you lol
Nice job buddy!! I have had 4 G-Bodies (87 GN, 86 T-Type, 80 Cutlass, and 79 Hurst/Olds) Still have '79 Olds H/O and '86 Buick T-Type. Both fast and reliable old school builds.
Sounds great!
rolling burnouts are the best!! Great video and audio!
Thats all this thing does right now. Hope it can get it to hook in the spring.
@@mr70camarors #burnoutsandicecream bro, lol. I'm swapping an 8.8 into my turbo LS C10 so i can run a sticky tire and see if we can get some 11s out of it
Super clean set up bro!
Its as simple and basic as I could think to make it. Thanks.
This is an awesome build. Not to high dollar. Good one to build and learn on then buy the high dollar stuff if you need to.
Money was spent only where it had to. Mostly. Only a few vanity parts here and there. But just about everything is reasoned and logical.
@@mr70camarors this is yours?? what a gorgeous car man. It really doesn't need much to look incredible
@@savagetuner2404 yep, that's me.
Such a CLEAN and SOBER build!!
❤ You did an awesome build..this is all i can do to give you another like in 2024.
This is the build I like. I own a 77 Cutlass. Maybe I got some inspiration..
This dude upgrades everything with no job. Lol. I wish i had balls like that. Blow my savings on turbskies when im not working.
still gotta send it! Lol!
About 90% of the funds were raised by selling things. Like my old nitrous setup and an extra set of wheels. Stimulus paid for the fuel pump and injectors. Remember, these are $200 turbos, $100 headers, $40 waste gates and $20 BOVs.
@@mr70camarors nothing wrong with that. I sold my project cars on the covid layoff lol. Should've ls swapped em. 84 monte ss and 85 iroc. Regret selling em both already
@@mr70camarors Love your car man! think you would love my sn95 I ls swapped when I was 16! Everything on it is done cheaply as hell too lol.
Great job keep it going
Love this car and the story
Nice video! Cool car!
Best mod on this car is the self made exhaust burns on the fenders..... Very Nice !
Nice! I’m building my 80 cutlass with a supercharged 4.8
If you have any questions, I have answers.
Big Nate's Fast Cars I had a 79 like this, loved that car. I’m also a laid off Boeing employee, and I’m currently building a turbo 5.3 for my 83’ Buick LeSabre. Great work man
Cars awesome man. Nice job. I have a cell in my turbo wagon and have to pop the hatch for a fill ups and can completely relate to the gas stop. You really don’t always want to talk about your car.
Exactly.
Like how you let the owner talk about their own car! I just wanna get gas man hah
Nice build !
✌Glad you Enjoying IT💪⭐CONGRATULATIONS⭐
dude this channel about to blow up !
That would be great! haha! One day maybe
Nice build
sweet ride
Love it!
this guy KNOWS his stuff
I know just enough to be dangerous.
lol yes he does!
I dig it. 👍🏻
That just Fing Awesome!
Thanks!
I like watching builds like this, why cause you can clearly see not all cheap stuff is trash
I would love some dual ball bearing billet wheel turbos. And that's likely to eventually happen. But these cheap no-name China specials are doing some work. After taking the $40 wastegates apart and rebuilding them, don't think I'd ever be willing to buy $300 name brand units. Only items I spent big on was the 4303 fuel pump.
Nice!💯💪🏿
I like the toolbox hood latches
Those are Aerocatch latches.
Nice car. Enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed it
very unique brother, wow.
Looking to do a single 80-88 on my rod and piston LS1 in 99 Camaro SS. Currently procharged on 5lbs.
Beautiful car! I have an 80 cutlass
Dude sounds like an engineer.
Not a sloppy build , a radical one
Love the G bodies! Looks fun. I'm not sure I'd trust the cup holder with coffee though haha
That things bolted down and the little spring clips hold cups in place surprisingly well.
badass car
lost my job built my car lost my job again built my car more .......i envy you and your saving skills
I think some people are missing the important parts of the story. The first build in 2013 was done on the super cheap. Sold a bunch of projects and just got this one daily drivable. Then slowly upgraded over the years. Then this time all I did was add turbos sloppy style. It's really not as expensive as it looks.
Family good start
GOOD USE OF STIMULUS MONAYYY! Excellent build!....now its my turn. :p
Good luck! do it!
I used to have a 78 Cutlass Supreme. People came up to me, too, because the original gas fill is under the license plate on a flipdown hinge that was springloaded, so it didn't matter how or where I parked to fill. It was a great car and was quite luxurious on the inside, but the gas just got to be too much for it, I think it was something ridiculous like 10mpg or something like that since it's basically a land yacht in terms of weight and size.
I love it!
We do too!
Why not add a fuel filler, in the center of that trunk lid? Something like the A/C Cobra, or Challenger have
Thinking about that. Its somewhat popular to install a riser straight up to the middle of the trunk lid.
Still amazed by this car. Just wondering what you did for the dipstick tube on the 4l80e? Swapping one into a 3rd gen firebird and looking for ideas. Thanks.
It's just a stock truck dipstick that's zip-tied to a wire bundle.
🏁🔥🔥
Where did he get those bumpers??? I took my license test in a 1978 Olds (my grandma's) and as nice as her's looked, you bumpers are outstanding in comparison.
The power windows are a nice touch.
Stock, original and still functional...mostly.
Nice cutlass
Awesome car. Love the exhaust pipes coming out the front fenders. Saves the work and headaches of running them out the back. What made you decide on going with the Lq4? Was it a junkyard motor?
I traded a bbc 177 mini-blower for it in 2008. It was a take-out from a guy that put a lower mile motor in his truck. I've just used it in multiple cars ever since, slowly changing and upgrading. Building a 414 stroker with twin billet 7875s currently.
That’s too bad he said that about people bothering him to talk about his car while getting gas. I always talk to anyone with a cool car at the gas station and people are always nice
I'm always nice about it. And getting better. Went to the grocery store today and wasn't in any sort of a hurry. Had two nice conversations with people.
Nathan finally put aome color on that beast! Lol
Lookimg good and did the twins!
Just a different shade of rattle can. Lol.
@@mr70camarors last I aaw it, it was grey. Lol
@@mr70camarors congrats on 10s!
@@johnwaterman9647 secretly its a calculated 10.90. Finally put it into the 6.90s at a West Coast Grudge 1/8th. Ran a bunch of 11.0x at 123mph a few weeks before, then made some improvements and dumped 125lbs.
@@mr70camarors it's not a secret now! Lol. Mine is a 10 sec car too. Ot runs about 10 secs before the next thing breaks. 🤣
Just wondering what engine management system you went with? For those wanting to do this exact swap into a 3rd gen trans am/camaro, can you recommend a guide or build sheet (or website) to refer to for some of the trickier details of this swap? Thanks for the video. Truly inspiring.
It's an OEM 0411 PCM with a PSI standalone harness, HP Tuners and Innovate wideband. It's running closed loop speed density.
"Some dude" ... that's me!
Nice car. Wish we were neighbors
Just wondering what you did to the front end bumper and grill wise
Dude!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow u did a good job
yea he did!
Thanks man. I'm cranking up version 2 tonight. It's going to be wild.
" All I want to do is get gas " really, I'm out on you man.
Perfect
So many more awesome features coming! Give it a thumbs up and make sure to subscribe and smash the notification bell!!
Love it
How Did you do your bumpers? I would love to do that to my 78
I think I have seen this car before, was it silver? Glad to see you are still enjoying it.
Yes, it was a metallic grey.
