Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

[Dirk HX35]

Dual 044 bracket arrived today, very nice quality.
Waiting for some more fittings from summit and then all I need are injectors and ms3 to start it up.

Ran all of the lines for the fuel cell last night

Little update, finished welding my trunk shut and ran my fuel lines. Got a set of kirkey pro street drag seats, going to buy the covers and RJS harnesses soon.

This build is amazing. Good work

Those seats would go great with my boney ass.

Digging the updates - good work!

[unloadedak]

you going to install an accusump in this?

[bmk]

What are you gonna use for the manifolds? Are you gonna do the 6L mani's flipped or going with a custom set up?

Thanks guys, the seats are really nice and fit well. I still haven't gotten the covers yet.

I never planned on it, but it would be a good idea.

I flipped and cut the stock 5.3 manifolds and I just bought a tig so I can get to work on the cross over and intercooler piping.

It's not actually progress on the build but it is at the same time.
Finally bought a tig, went with the Miller Diversion 180.
Going to run 220 to the garage and pick up some filler rod at the local welding place.

^ lucky SOB I want a TIG so bad. Got a stash set aside for one but it's not growing very fast.

I'm still getting the hang of it, you have so much more control than the cheap mig I was borrowing.

Thanks guys!


Ms3 gold, 80lb injectors, harness, aem uego, and subframe adjustment tabs showed up. Should be able to make some good progress on the car now.

I'm also aiming for a Diversion 180, seems like the best choice for a hobbyist who doesn't want to risk their time and money on a crappy chinese unit, but don't want to drop money on a synchrowave. The capability to run off 115v is pretty useful as well. I hope one is in the budget for me this year.

Are you running trailing arm adjusters with riser bushings? I can't really tell by that pic, but I didn't think that they fit with each other?

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Gonna shoot for this one. Will probably grab the best one I find on craiglist when the time comes though.
