It's alive!!!! Tuning will be done next week. Videos to come soon! Unfortunately I'm moving back up to Seattle in a couple weeks. But I should have some tire shreading footage before I leave.

Here's a throttle bracket I made on the mill. I wasn't digging my old one.


Sandwiched in between the radiator and the turbo is a beefy Dodge Viper fan with custom shroud. Big Dave did an awesome job.

This looks crazy. I don't want to even know how much money you have into this build. It seems like every post is custom this, custom that lolol. It's sick to have a shop that close to home that could do work like this on our cars. GL with this build!

I'm not sure if I read this but are you doing a custom tranny? I would if I were you if you're not. IPT makes a SICK custom bulletproof tranny for our cars for around $3500; just throwing that out there.

Thanks for input. Yes, this car has a ton of money into it. There are virtually no over-the-counter parts into this car and hundreds of hours logged for labor.

As for the transmission, we're using a built TH400 from Mike's Transmission. It should handle the power just fine.

Here's a short clip of it being fired up for the first time.

Sounds healthy...

What are the specs on the turbo you're using? Originally it was a comp I think, now it looks like a Nelson Racing? Size specifications?
I think your general layout is the same I intend to use with my project for a single turbo LS swapped GS.

Could you get some dimensions on the radiator, and intercooler used? Also, what's the plan on holding the hood down now that the latch is gone? I'll probably be in a similar situation once I add a larger radiator and intercooler and don't really want hood pins. I'd love to see some more pictures of the exhaust routing, engine bay pics, under car pics etc!

Amazing had this idea how big is the turbo

tdciv

any more pics on the fuel setup?

this is one bad A$$ build

justink08

I could get the dimensions for you but the area that supports the radiator, intercooler, and condenser was modified extensively. Factory latch is gone. It will have pins but they will be flush, one of the sacrifices that were made to go with this setup. For the exhaust routing, I have some pictures posted in this thread that show how the exhaust is routed. I hear you though, pretty soon here I'll have pics of it on a lift. Progress is slow and my apologies for not keeping to my dates, but things usually don't go as planned around here. But in the end we will have a video that does the car justice. Will keep you guys posted.
