car used to be turbo'd with pretty much the same setup on a z6 and it blew that ****** up, droped the ls in it and it blew the valve seals on #3 cylinder, so i took the head to get a valve job (new seals, grind valves, new seats, cleaned and milled)
new o.e. piston rings
acl bearings
450 dsm black tops
tuner toys charge piping
CCA intercooler 6x3x31 or seomthing
stealthmode oil lines, fittings and restricter valve
big 16g dsm turbo @ 8psi (stock)
WeirTech log mani that i had to put a b series flange on
1g dsm bov
dsm bov flange from tuner toys
cometic head gasket
ARP head studs
chipped p06 w/ chrome basemap

pulls pretty good, will post dyno number when i get them and any track times












just got my new suspension from lsd...skunk2 sport shocks and megan lower control arms, im just reusing my old coilovers they still feel ok if u like a bumpy ride... but its way better than it was w/ 2 completly blown struts

a few pics

 

Ditch the those rims and the rice can and I'll be good to go. Everything else looks good.

I'd paint the rest of the car to match the fenders and front end. Flat black FTMFW

 

looks good

 

+1 on getting some smaller rims, you'll never hook with those things. Also might wanna put a filter on that beast

 

Looks good Get some 15s and it will be killer

 

yea i just put the rims on today they were my buddies, im not a huge fan of them, but they are only on till i finish repainting my fat fives, or i pop one cause they rub
thniking of goin just all flat black with it, exterior is not really a huge concern
and thats a real tanabe medalion exhaust why get rid of it haha

 

exhaust doesn't look bad.
Only suggestions I have would be to
1. get the surface rust off and paint the charge piping.
2. Get a catch can for the valve cover.
3. Remove the injector wiring mess and use the distribution block. (Put the resistor box in the back corner.)



good job on the setup.

where does that vacuum tube go on the charge piping near the throttle? why is the radiator crooked? missing the rubber pieces on the bottom?

 

i tried gettin that rust off once and i sprayed it with some clear engine enamel and it came right back, that a clean look w/ that resistor box what connector do you need for that? the radiator is crooked because the guy who had the car before me hit a tree or somethin so the lower support is a little crooked, and that blue vac line goes to the canister on the firewall....dont really know why i still have it (lazy) as you can see i still have all the ac lines and p/s lines too hah

 

Rusty charge pipes....sweet

 

bump for new suspension
