LOL! Yeah I've been working hard ok! The car is ready to fire up got to pick up a drive belt. I have had a lot of re-work actually the most I have ever had on any car I have ever built. I have taken lots of pictures, but I haven't had time to post them. Yes I was busy distracted with TX2K12. I was very dissapointed not to be able to show case this car at the event! I'm guessing I missed it by about 2 weeks. And for the guy who mentioned it was supposed to be a drop in. Well it might be, but I rebuild the WHOLE car in a matter of weeks. So it wasn't just a turbo change in my case as I wanted to change some things I wasn't happy with on the car etc... Just when I thought I had it, I looked at the fuel system that I was supposed to hold 1200rwhp. It would have been lucky to make 800rwhp, the pump was on its last leg as well the routing was messed up. The wiring was another problem as who ever did could have used my 7 year old girls help as it was BAD! But on for the good news! Turbo's fit lol! I did have to do a few modifications to get them to fit the way I wanted, and probably anyone else with a steet car. I will give a detailed update soon guys when I am sure I have addressed all the issues that I had related to the turbos/APS turbo kit etc...

Ok finally getting around to update this thread.
Here is the motor, just about together. Specs are Sleeved LS2 block, Lunati crank, Lunati Pro Billet rods, Wiesco pistons, ARP L19 head studs, and Brodix 7 Heads.
Not many ppl know or have posted about the LS7 windage tray for corvette guys etc... These go in and require VERY little modifications to clear a stroker motors other than haveing to clearance for the rod bolts in most cases as was mine, but makes for a quick easy fix for a wet sump Vette guy. Took me all of about 20 min. and it doesn't cause a lot of oil pump pick up problems etc...
New Brodix heads I picked up from Richard at WCCH. Very nice 265cc intake runner flow @ 397 at .600 and a thick deck to help keep the heads down under boost!
A quickey before head install.
After and ready to drop in!
Here you see the best clutch I know of on the market that will hold 1300 lbs of TQ and drives absolutly like stock! I know its a Centerforce DYAD lo! I felt the same way when I hear that, but believe me its true! These guys have designed it from the ground up only utilizing there friction materials from there years of experience! I love this thing!
Manifolds before being sent to Polydyne for coating!
After coating, they did a nice job and only a fraction of the cost Jet Hot wanted!
A shot of the assyembled manifold new DKT turbo and Down pipe ready for install.

That was all the good stuff. Now for the issues I ran into trying to run the Ported S covers. They are REALLY close to the K-member and it is right where the lower control arm bolts are so there isn't anything you can really do such as triming etc... So if it is a street car and you want to put a filter on there it will not work lol!
The other smaller covers did work fine I did have to trim a small amount off the corner of the K-member to make sure I could get a coupler on there etc...
I did a few other things for my own personal satisfaction and overall I'm very pleased with the out come of the install and now I am off to finish up some small wiring issues and will update with some typical dyno videos lol here is a start up video its very poor in quality do to being taken with my phone, but you get the idea.

Thanks. I need to take some picture of the engine bay and fuel system that came out real nice! This has been a pretty intence build for me as alot of it I had to address unexpectedly due to the crappy work previous builders did etc... So my planning and execution was off, from what I am used to. As I usually know whats been done to a car cause chances are I did it lol!
