Looks amazing! In for the finished product

Dirk LSXT

Thanks guys!

Finally got tires on. No it doesn't run yet, no I'm not in a rush to finish it.

Looks like it's getting pretty close. What all is left on the checklist?

Dirk LSXT

Need a driveshaft and figure out what's wrong with my diff. Need to finish coolant pipe and small piece of intercooler piping. Finish up brakes. Finish crossover and wastegate, which is easy now with the turbo mounted for good. Put gas in it. Do burnouts.

Got to making the 4" downpipe today. Managed to make it clear everything even with the tall valve covers.

Looking great! Eager for some startup and then followed by burn-out videos!

Thanks, me too haha can't wait to give it hell.

Finished up the intercooler piping for the passenger side.
Now I need to finish up the crossover and mount the big *** wastegate.

Dirk LSXT

Furrick Cup showed up so I continued on the crossover, still need to add the wastegate.

Dirk LSXT

Couple more cool pictures of the crossover.

Tjabo

You're right, those are cool pics!

What's up with that cup? It's huge. How much gas flow does that sucker need?

Dirk LSXT

Thanks, I had it cranked up to 30cfh but I'm sure I could run less and still be fine.

Bought some Motorsport Hardware studs and black chrome lug nuts to match my wheel bolts. Still waiting for my gurney flap.

Dirk LSXT

Carbon fiber flap showed up, now it's time to drill some holes...

Great car and cool build. Want to build another? Power and light weight, what can be better? Are you painting it? Good luck getting her done.

Dirk LSXT

Thanks, it will be painted all one color once it runs and drives.

Finished up welding the flange on for good.
Took the front end apart to test fit the manifold and everything fits just right.
Now I can figure out the wastegate placement tomorrow.

Great build! Made it look easy stuffing a T6 and LS in there!

Dirk LSXT

Thanks, not much room left now with the wastegate in haha.

Couldn't get the 409 stainless to weld half decent but whatever, the job is done and it's another step closer to finished. Finished the wastegate merge. Pushed it out to pull all the calipers off for my brother to powder coat. I'll post them after he's done, if you need anything powder coated let me know.

Tjabo

Love those pie cuts--way to get creative!!! (And I think the welding job looks pretty good from a perspective of making something that will work. Super pretty welds don't usually make stuff work any better.)

Dirk LSXT

Thanks, should work fine.
Finally put the manifold back in and mounted the wastegate and made a dump pipe.
At this point I could fire it up, but for some reason I'm in no rush.
Also got a crazy deal on a heater for the garage so life is beyond good.

Dirk LSXT

Welded up my drain to the timing cover so it clears everything.
Welded a nipple on too for wastegate signal line.
