Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

[blusylver]

no, I have tons of room. I decided to but the rad on the outside of the core support. i have to have the in and outlets locations moved but im able to run a 24.5x18x2.25 and a 16" spal pull fan. once i finish up the rear sub frame and TA ill be working on the radiator and plumbing

I really like the e28 rear subframe, im glad i decided to go that route. The axles seem to be much stronger, and making the polly bushings took me about 30 min on a lathe and about 10 on the mill.

Ahh. I need to do the same.

after skimming your thread, we have a lot in common. I was going to go s52 turbo but after discovering this craziness I decided on FI ls6

Is it going to be a pain to fit your pulley set up?

Why did you need to weld the water pump?

Didn't feel like running lines to heater core

My friend welded up the gto pan and water pump.

Notched the gto oil pan today



Test fitted with manifolds and oil pan, hx52 mocked up for size

[JCarp90]

lol

[Dirk HX35]

Finally put the banner on, it will look good with all the exterior changes


ARPs to hold the boost


All mocked up, got gto oil pan too just need to notch it

[Dirk HX35]

Put the coilovers in and the salad shooters no longer cleared on the inside, hence the skinnies up front. My little brother thinned out the harness for a set 42lbers for his volvo.


Non sense that we removed.


Bought an ls6 intake manifold and gto oil pan, working on ls6 cam/springs/pushrods and ls9 head gaskets and arp studs.

Test fitted with truck manifolds, still need to cut more off

[Lets_dudas]

Did you order the kamotors extra wide fender flares? Trying to see as far as looks because I'm ordering a set very soon myself. Awesome build so far and some inspiration since I just got a turbo kit!

[Dirk HX35]

Flipped the truck manifolds and cut the flanges off.


Also ordered an ls2 water pump since it's thinner.

The e30ls1 mounts

[Dirk HX35]

Tore the harness apart


Trying to decide between t76 or tc76 now

Mounts and driveshaft arrived today too

[Dirk HX35]

Picked up some coilovers for cheap, time to finally put in my e36 rack too


Sold off almost all of my m20 parts and bought a 5.3 LM7 and T56


Stripped it down to put on car manifolds/accessories


My little brother started working on the harness


Still need all of the car accessories to make it all fit and a turbo/wastegate/clutch/flywheel/injectors/fuel rails...stay tuned
