2000 NBM M6 SS Turbo build
#102
this one will always be a stick car and yes still 408/480 billet wheel now with 1.25 ar. Got the rst for a good deal so couldn’t pass up. Only difference is the disks so I can always put rxt disks if I need to down the road. I have a manual boost controller now but planning to Holley terminator x this year. As for tire I am on a et drag 10.5 stiff wall slick.

Unfortunatly nothing to speak of. I have made it out to the track a hand full of time but had issues each time and finally figured them out. Long story short my TCS was engaging upon launch and as expected bogging the car hard. Took all year to figure it out. Hopefully I can get back sometime this fall and get some good passes in. My wife and I are expecting our third child any day now so making it back this year may be a stretch before winter.
The car is getting a Holley terminator x as well as a few other upgrades this winter so I am really hoping that at the very least my random systems issues (2step, WOT, TCS, ect) are a thing of the past. Plus with the holleys capabilities I will be able to turn up the boost and really get this car where it should be.

Nice work on the car. I have a turbo six speed car I am working on as well. I also ordered a holley terminator x for it. I am going to piggyback the stock ecm so the stock dash will still work. I need to pass obd2 as well so I need both. I am gathering all of the parts now but I have a newborn at home so I know the feeling. Are you thinking of doing a piggyback or fully removing the factory computer? I am trying to figure out where the best place to mount it will be.

Congrats on the new born and I am planning to fully remove the factory computer and let Holley do all the work. As far as mounting I am not 100% sure but the small size of the terminator should allow it to do just about anywhere. All depends on the wiring length which Ill find out when I order.

Thank you!!! Like I said I have to keep my stock computer for obd2 reasons. Once it starts to get colder I will start the holley install. I am going to stretch out the wiring harness and see where I can mount it. I am kind of thinking about making a mount behind or in the glove box but we will see.

Received my terminator x so I will start getting everything prepared for that install. I am in the process of moving right now so progress will likely wait until January. I also bought another m6 ls1 harness so I can work on stripping that one down to just what I need to have my stock gauges work. More progress to follow. I am excited about the prospects of boost by gear or speed as well as the protection the stand alone offers so I can lean on this motor more. I haven’t came close to cracking it’s potential but all the pieces are finally falling into place.

Do you have an idea what you are going to use the I/Os for?

Stripped the stock harness to only include what I think I need.
Extended and relocated the factory oil pressure sensor so will have most of the factory dash functional.
working thru the Holley harness and pretty well have it buttoned up. Need to get the fuel pump wire, pick a switch 12v, and run two outputs one for fans and one for the Mac valve.

I’ve got everything buttoned up minus needing to figure out the factory tach. Seems I might need a tach signal converter.
Outside of that the factory oil, temp, fuel level, and voltage are working.
May get a chance to drop the car down and take it down the road for some tuning tomorrow.
