I know you have the seat in already but is there anyway you could weigh it?

thanks for the heads up!

No biggie. It's between those and some kirkeys for my car but I can't seem to find a true weight on them.

What plugs does everyone recommend on a 650ish RWHP turbo car?

I was thinking the NGK BR7?

Unfortunately, I made a mistake when ordering my Squash Performance fuel setup and I got the -6 Feed instead of the -8 fitting on the hat. Once I get the right fitting in, then the tank will be going in. I also need to order some new fittings for my trans cooler and that will go on.


Anyway, on to a few pics:

4L80 in. I need to get my steel drive shaft extended an inch and a half and the drivetrain will be complete.










Do people keep the EVAP usually? I probably should have researched that a bit more before keeping it on my Squash setup. Whats everyones thought?
If you don't want what I like to call "race car lights" on the dash....get rid of it. Not really nesesary.

Damn man the inside of your car is clean as hell. How long have you had that steering wheel on it?
Did you get rid of all air bags?

Thank you! I really wanted it to be as stock looking as I could.

The steering wheel was on from the previous owner and the airbag on the passenger side is still installed.

Made some progress last night. Got my fans mounted, AC condenser, and radiator mounted up last night. I am trying to source a LT1 radiator support now.

Also, a friend of mine pressed in my new Straub trunion upgrades to my rockers and I got those back in my car and torqued.

I scored a Corsa catback with Premium tips that I plan to run. Hopefully I can get an intermediate pipe fabbed up here at work from my downpipe to the I-pipe.

Can't wait to hear the Corsa setup. I've been wondering how it would sound and perform with boost. I guess I'll continue living vicariously through your build lol.

Got a few more things knocked out this weekend. My friends came over and began the wiring on the fans and the electric water pump, hopefully that will be done tonight. We started routing my fuel lines and mounted them to the body and I also got my Corsa mounted up. Looks pretty good!

Anyone have any pics on how you routed the feed and oil drain line off the turbo? My lines seem to be too long and I might have them routed incorrectly. It looks like Im going to have to pull the turbo off just to be able to get the drain line fitting on the turbo.

The fuel lines are about 95% complete. I need to mount my FPR and connect the return line and it will be done. Starter, alternator, fans, and electric water pump are all wired up and ready to go. I still need to get the Hobbs switch, fuel pumps, 4L80E, and my SCG-1 wired up. I feel like I have so much left to do but slowly chipping away at it with the help of some good friends.

Sorry no new pictures!

Not sure if you can tell in the pics, but the feed line is coming from the remote oil filter block. It comes up the driver side...right over the motor to the turbo. Drain is going to the scavenge pump, then to oil pan.

Nice setup with the scavenge pump. I have my feed and drain going to my oil pan.
