Finally got a little time to get a rough idea on the radiator set up.

I think the turbo will be a little laggy with the stock ls1 but with the lq4 with a tick custom cam I think it will spool great!

With my work schedule it's hard finding time but hope to be starting on the hot side within a few weeks. Still need to finish the rad set up. Figure out my ac line. Mount the new k member.

Swapping out to the new bmr turbo k member (that was fun)





Installed oil drain fitting while it was out



Its in and back on the front wheels. Gotta button up the front end and remount the ac stuff, install the manifolds and start making the kit!

I'll just be happy to see a little progress on the actual hot side.

Going to have a cut out for front bumper exit on the driver side and probably run it through the k member on the drivers side. It's just a weekend toy so I'm not worried about it be beig loud lol

Should be a nasty setup.

I'm not expecting much honestly. Only 4lbs on this motor/tranny until my 6.0/80e is ready.

Just wanted to build the kit and get it all worked out and there is a show in September I'd like to go to so I hope it lives to make it there.

Going back together for mock up to build the hot side.
Installed new huron speed power steering line kit, much more room on the driver side. Might look crowded but there is a ton of room bottom side for the kit!

can you get pics of how much space you have around the A/C compressor to run things with that K member? do you think there could be enough room to run a 3" pipe through there?
