Nothing huge tonight for progress but a little interior work.

So know one makes a 3 gauge pillar pod for the 2003 s10 interior being the headliner and a and b pillars are different than the 98-02 trucks. So I cut up a glowshift 98-02 3 gauge pillar pod and starting cutting it up to mold it into the factory 2003 a pillar.

I really like what your doing, and plan to do almost the same thing here soon. Can you post up what parts your using for your header, and who you got them from? I guess your using truck accessories? I have Corvette.

Do you know what your truck runs N/A? I have almost the same setup, except with a 60E currently and LS6 intake. On crappy tires 2.0 60', mine ran the best of a 13.10. Curious what your fuel plans are?

Intercooler mounts gonna be perfect, this intercooler is some stage 2 intercoooler out of a subaru.











Mock up air filter, its a little tight haha





tacked up and the turbo sitting on the manifold fits so perfect.

Could I get a mod to move this to the forced induction section please.

Yeah that filter is being criished a bit. On my Blazer I put a 90* elbo off my turbo so the MAF & air filter were down behind the headlight.

Hard to see in this pic, but you get the idea.

it will be a little tight but doable. I will be doing a 4" down pipe with a cut out then step it down to a 3" after the cutout ran into my already existing exhaust.

ok cool. I have a 97 rcsb s10 laying around. the original 2.2 took a dump so It might be a pretty good contender for a new project!! may try a junkyard sloppy mechanic build on it.

Yeah man there you go. Too bad the 97s are the worst to wire up haha.

Prostreet I pieced the kit together I order the flange off of ebay from modern automotive performance and the other metal from ace race parts on line the log is schedule 10 stainless 2" the 90s are long radius schedule 10 1.5".

This is the 2003 only pillar pod finished up.










Waiting on the rest of my metal from ace race parts for the hot side. Then I will get assembling the cold sided then pull the motor to change the oil pan and drill and tap for the oil drain back.
