Default LQ4 370 Kytp build

So I have been piecing this project together for the last 4 years I finally got all the parts I needed and figured I'd share the build as I go.

Car is a 2000 z28 previous set up was a forged ls1 cam and spray it ran well but I hated dealing with nitrous always running out and was seeing alot of folks making big power from there turbo set ups so i decided to take the plunge. I pulled my old motor sold everthing and started from scratch. below is what's going in it.

HKE LQ4 370 stock crank, Callies compstar rods Diamond pistons, ARP everything, Morrell lifters, ETP 225 heads Harland sharp rockers, custom specd turbo cam by Ed Curtis at flow tech
Spec Twin Disc Clutch

Nasty stage 3 fuel system twin intake pumps, Magna Fuel Billet boost reference regulator 8an feed 6an return steel braided lines, 60lb injectors, custom rails

Kytp truck manifold kit, Turbonetics TC76mm, Tial waste gate, JGS blowoff valve, Hot side coated by jet hot, BMR turbo k-member
E boost 2 controller

Pulled the front clip off and mounted the FMIC[URL=http://s929.photobucket.com/user/wes96z/media/image-13.jpg.html][/URL

I liked the look and extra space of moving the radiator up so I started hacking the front support

So I bought the Griffin that everybody else has and got some dual flex a lite fans I had to figure out how to mount them I wanted it to look clean and seal well against the radiator. So we ended up tigging a small frame with mounting tabs onto the radiator and mounted the fans big props to my buddy Ben at Evil Arc Fabrications for his help. I think it came out really nice
