01 Z28 Huron Speed Build
Thanks for the heads up! I'll let my tuner know and I'll upgrade to a bigger wastegate knowing that now. Sucks about bending a rod! I'm hoping the stock fans as pushers work out. I had to extend one side of the fan connections and just cut and spliced the wires the opposite way. I'll post a pic later. Project is almost done. Car sat too low with the new added weight. Turbo, piping, and iron block. Had to order stock height a arms and put my BMR 1 inch lowering A arms on my wife's car lol
Heres a pic of the stock fans cut and tied to the ac condensor. It was a pain but they fit. We spaced them out a little so they wouldn't make contact with the condensor.
Cut the bumper
Added a catch can
Close up of the turbo and filter. Really close to the radiator.

Suspension is all done for now. Still need to weld in the subframes though. I already had Founders LCA and panhard bar, Pro kit springs.
Tranny crossmember and poly mount.
Relocated all the wires from the engine bay and routed them under in the fender well. Still need to zip tie and tape stuff up.
I still had the stock shifter with a short stick so I upgraded to a MGW. Awesome quality piece, can't wait to see what it feels like.

UPDATE: if anybody is following lol. Relocated the coils under the car and hooked up all the plug wires. Extended the harness and plugged everything in. Hotwire kit is hooked up also. Looks pretty good I was happy with the results.
Also relocated the battery and ran the positive through the car, thanks to camaro hot wheels for the help. Ran it under the fender well along the frame rail and connected it to a distribution block. Connected the leads going to the alternator, fuse block and starter hopefully I don't have any problems with it.
Here's a pic of where we're at right now and a before pic just to show the difference.

Dropping off the car to get tuned. It's extremely dusty but I'm glad it's out of the garage.
On the road!
Pic at lethal performance waiting on a tune and a few other things done.
That's pretty much it until it comes back from the tuners. Any response good or bad will be appreciated thanks!

Verdad Gallardo So I finally got my Camaro back from the shop. Finished up the fuel system, did dual pumps in the tank and braided lines to the rails. Decided to run the exhaust out the front instead of the rear so that took a while longer. Came out pretty nice still need to get the exhaust ring. Heres some pics from a quick cruise to the park. Gonna raise it up a bit. Iron block and turbo dropped it quite a bit
Sitting a little low lol rubbing on the inner fender well. I routed the harness along the fender well and the tire started rubbing on it so I extended it about 4 1/2 feet through the inner fender.
On the lift at lethal performance showing off the 295s and bumper exhaust. Love it

Thanks for looking I'll have numbers soon it's just on a base tune running E85

Thanks for the feed back! I can try to take better pics of the coil relocation and harness tuck when I get under it again to mess with the suspension. The spectre filter I returned it because it was a little too long it was hitting the radiator hose. Havent gotten around to putting another one on lol. I hear they work pretty good though. Car has been keeping cool with the reversed stock fans stays at 210 in traffic so far. I have to reinstall the heat blanket for the turbo we'll see how it does. Let me know any suggestions or tips this is my first turbo car. I don't mind good or bad feed back. Thanks!
I'm in the middle of the exact same build. Looks awesome! How's it drive not having a front sway bar? I also have fatty nittos on all four corners and was concerned about handling. I'm using a Tial 38mm WG so the boost creep is a concern. How's it drive with the six speed and what is your overall opinion on the kit? Awesome build and gives me motivation! Thanks.
