Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

cool build, I wonder whats the difference in the output shaft splines on the 210mm differential? My bud's boosted e21 just shredded the splines on his output shaft splines on his 168mm diff. And I'm pretty sure that small case and medium case axle output stub splines are interchangeable between the diffs, I'm curious if the large case has beefier splines?

I think he meant to say "trunk shit"

[Mr. Tasty]

maybe I missed it, but where did he mention welding the trunk shut?

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but why weld the trunk shut?

This. What happens when you need to replace shock mounts.

So people cant get out, duh :D

Found a set of bbs rc041's on craigslist the price was right and they are forged and 1 of 150 sets I've been told. VRwheels will be making lips and barrels for them, and I will get the centers polished.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

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

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?

^ 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.

Sub'd.

This engine setup.............. stunning

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.

those seats!:bow:

This build is amazing. Good work

Those seats would go great with my boney ass.

Digging the updates - good work!

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

you going to install an accusump in this?

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

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

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.
