I was trying really hard to make my thread as organized as possible but obviously didn't happen

I'm updating some pictures that was taken during the build that didn't get posted

If anybody have questions on anything, let me know.



radiator + fan





custom driveshaft from driftmotion with adapter plate for the diff.



it's 3inch aluminum


sus304 exhaust


merge to 3in y-pipe


not completely welded during the pic


than comes out aluminum from muffler. reduced alot of weight.. I'm planning to change tip length and style alittle though..


new tomei lsd


in!


taken during wiring fun placed ls1 ecu where stock battery once resided.

I will update with more pics once I get the bodykit in.

I just need few more mods and will start taking it to the track for ultimate shakedown test

thanks for your comment! I use corvette fuel filter assembly which has the pressure regulator build in. Also sard Jet pump Killer to run return line from fpr. it makes it so much easier with the corvette fpr. I've seen some use return time rail from earlier ls1

it's summit!(as a package deal) hehe cheap and good
Aluminum plate is welded on top however.. to make it look alittle better

no traction control nor ABS. this car will be drifted and will not be daily driven and I have no need for them. Also, once you take out the stock ECU, there is no way to wire up the traction control

Thanks.

When I weighed the car last time after the swap, I was at 1614kg with stock passenger side seat and racing seat on driver side + 1/4 tank of gas. Now I have both racing seat which would have dropped at least 14kg so about 1600kg (3527lb)
*this is with full interior

with our car being so heavy, it isn't super fast but definately enough to drive around in street with smiley face. I think I would need at least 400hp 400ft/lb torque and bring the weight down to about (3000lb) to really make it perform the way I want to.. (along with all pillow-ball arms and better bracing of course)
one thing for sure is that it has much more torque and power than stock turbo 2jz (not to disrespect it or anyone)

it's all subjective view though..

Short answer : I like it but I want more

Non taken.

Are you going to strip the car? Will you keep it street legal or will it be track only at some point.

well, I'm not sure at this point.. I will be driving for alittle longer to determine whether that' s worth it or not (making a full race car vs. weekend car) I will however add some more power regardless.

thanks
