I need some advice guys.

I'd like to take advantage of the discount that Jake's Performance is offering this month on converters and I need help selecting the right stall for me. I'd like to get the triple disc as the car will be street driven more often and I was thinking in the 3200-3400 range. Thoughts?

Got a few new parts in for my birthday! Not much more to report about until I can get back out and work on it.

SLP SS grille that I am going to cut up and an ATI Super Dampner.

Nice build! I'd just call Jakes and see what they suggest for your driving/goals.

Where are you guys running your power steering lines? The instructions say to re route the lines on my Huron kit.

Not reroute, just massage them out of the way so you have clearance to the manifold. Do not even need to remove, just using your hand a little pressure slowly mend them away from the manifold!

It's true just massage the PS lines no issues!

Hopefully this weekend I will have a bigger update, but I pulled the radiator from my 2002 SS to put in the 2000 SS. I replaced the radiator in the 2002 with a BeCool unit with Spal fans and added a power steering cooler.

I hope to have the radiator, condenser, turbo, and the rest of the turbo piping installed this weekend.

Which radiator and fans did you use? Is it in the stock tilted location or did you stand it up on your old car?

in my non turbo car (2002) I just installed a BeCool unit with Spal fans in the stock location.

I will be using the stock radiator from my 2002 in my turbo car (2000).

Made a little progress this weekend.

Got my ATI installed, turbo clocked and mounted on the cross over, the downpipe put on, and the radiator and A/C condenser temporarily mounted until I can get an LT1 radiator cover.

I also wanted to give a huge thank you to Jon at Huron Speed. I've never experienced customer service like he has provided, 2nd to none! I have never owned, built, or worked on turbo cars so as you can imagine, I've had a lot of questions. Jon puts up with every single question lol. The fit and quality of everything I've put together is top notch. Thanks again guys.

Now a few pictures:



Turbo mounted and radiator in place:




You can see the radiator supports my father in law fabbed up real quick in this picture.

Its slowly coming along, but its coming along! My transmission is being built and I hope to purchase a stall and flex plate next.

I currently have a Moser transmission cross member with a Torque arm mount but it is for a 4L60E. I need to get that off and get a new cross member for the 4L80E also.

Happy to help and glad you are liking the kit!

Anything else feel free to ask and I'd be happy to help

Things are coming slowly. Unfortunately, no new pics. I got some automatic pedals, a front sway bar, Idle air control valve, and a throttle cable.

I got the front sway bar installed and the pedals i started working on but ran out of time. Anyway, just wanted to update. I hope to have time over Christmas and New Years to spend some good time on it.
