Purchased a 1350 forged steel pinion yoke, brake line bender, Otc double flaring kit and a GlowShift oil sandwich adapter. Also thought it wise to purchase some brake pads for my Grizzly! (Haven't had front or rear brakes in 3 months!) Ramming trees isn't a fun way to stop the thing hahaha.
12 days and I order my Drive shaft!

So, the belt broke on my Grizzly and with all the other stuff that has been breaking on it, that was the last straw... Traded for a 96 z28 t-top A4. Going to cruise in that for a while then trade for a truck..

Anyways.. Finished running my hotside piping while I was home and decided to start putting fenders back on.... Well I brought the hotside a little to close to the driver fender! So I hacked 2 feet of the hotside off and thats where I left it.. Good news is I believe the turbo will be located in a better position..

Did a test fit on the wiring harness and had to re-arrange it some but looks like I'll be able to run the harness inside the cabin..

Put new Driveshaft, pinion yoke, gas tank and fuel pump on.. Going to take the gas tank off and get it cleaned.

Was worried about the cam retainer plate that I re-used, so I replaced that with a new one.. Welded up the MAP sensor hole in the back of the intake.

Good news, I changed the hot-side path to turbo- to keep A/C, so now I can keep cool.. just have to buy a saden compressor and brackets. And all the other B.s.
I've done more stuff just can remember... I will get some pics when I get home next.. My cousin is coming to help me, so I can get the thing started at least.

Here's a pic of the car

Alright, thinking of getting these plugs for the car... What do you guys think: NGK Premium Racing Spark Plugs R5671A-7.

Also I have bought an Innovate MTX-L wideband and gauge. Slowly getting other gauges together as well.. I have Glowshift gauges for Volts, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel Pressure, and going to order AEM True boost controller with boost gauge for my Boost..

Going to get exhaust temp gauge and maybe a trans temp gauge from Glow Shift too

Going with Speed Hut for Speedo, Tacho, and fuel level. I know you may think that a miss and match gauge will look bad, but, I plan on putting the glowshift gauges in an aluminum center console I plan on building and all other gauges in my dash.. So I think it will look pretty good.. Going to match the bezels with speedhuts options...

Also have bought 2 14" electric fans.. They are made in the USA....go me.... supposed to have a combined cooling of 4900 cfm's.

That's about all I have to update for now.. Will be home on the 8th and get to fiddle around some more.. going to get a camera when I get home so I can get some pics posted..

It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been working extra days on my trips offshore.
I've tried to log in many times and posts but until today couldn't log in. Apparently clearing my cache fixed the problem.
Anyways a few things have changed since last posted. (Pics will be posted later)
First off I decided to change from single On3 to twin 61/65 turbo's with garret chra's and .68 t4 turbine housings. This company is supposed to become a sponsor on here in a few weeks and have their own build thread with a tt lq4 69 Chevelle

Also bought a set of Ridler wheels, 18/8 and 18/9.5 with 245 40 18 front and GY eagle F1 supercar 285 40 18 on the rear.

Built my sub-frame connectors and changed my Tranny crossmember to for the twin set-up.

Cut Radiator core support, mounted inter-cooler and V-banded exhaust mani's.

Turbos came in today, wastegate on the way.
Will get pics up soon.

Nice build up

So, did a lot of work this time in. Changed over from single to twin turbo, built cold side. Installed new brakelines and master cylinder/booster. It was a pain getting the driver side turbo the way I wanted. The wastegate isn't in my opinion in the best of places but I think that it will do.
Well here are some pics.

Looking good! Love the way the twins look, I was hoping for some info on your driveshaft, im installing a 4l80e. The car is breaking the convertors in the TH350s. Added the comp engineering bars, sub frame connectors, and it hooks! Also what trans cross member you have?

I built my own Crossmember.. I had some 1.5X1.5" schedule 40 square tubing and some 2" 3/16" flat bar and a drill press.. Heres a link to it.. Its hard to see it all though.

I built my own sub-frame connectors using 2"X2" square tubing and 2" flat bar using the factory spring perches. I don't have a great pic of them but here is a link where you can see part of it.

My drive shaft is a steel 3" shaft I had built from a vendor on ebay for a hair over 200 shipped iirc. It was a well built piece PM me and I can give you the link.. I changed my axle piece over for the bigger u-joints.
If you lived close by I could give you the steel you need to build your own crossmember.
I built mine so that i connect the flat bar to the tranny mount then jack the rear of the tranny up and screw in 4 grade 8 bolts. I can drop my transmission in about 20 minutes including draining time.

18X8 with 245 40 tires and 18X9.5 with 285 40 good year eagle supercar tires. I'll send you a link, bought everythig for a hair over 1000 bucks. I like your car.. It motivates me to work on mine..

MillsMotorvation

I said the same about your car, what kind of shifter you run, will I need to change the stock one?
