Well, the piping is all done now. The radiator core should be here Monday, then....time for some break in miles
The fenders will be rolled/pulled as soon as the car is driveable.

Excellent work sir! Welcome to the Lexus turbo LSx family!
You don't know how bad I wish I had built an IS instead of an SC. 2 kids car seats are a PITA to get in the SC.

Thanks Matt and thanks for the mounts again. We'll see how these work this year, then I plan on a set of custom wheels later on

This makes me want to Turbo my swap which didnt even make it to my car yet. what truck headers would you use if i were to use factory headers. I was told its popular to use escalade headers and flip them up so they face forward and start routing the turbo. im swapping a LS1 in a 86' 635CSI. my main issue will be clearance with the steering box...im trying to as little fabrication as possible and would rather use some type of hugger header if i dont do the turbo so i would clear the Steering box.
any help would be greatly appreciated
