Default another turbo ls notch build

A few pics of my 93 notch, I waited a couple years to find this one and yes it actually was grandma's car. I bought it with 86,000 kms from the original owners daughter. This is my first post, however I have been lurking for some time now getting ideas from others on this site.

The build has been underway for awhile now. I will post some pics to catch up to the builds current state. I can't take credit for all custom fabrication, I have a local shop with amazing skills and knowledge performing a lot of the work.

I am using an AJE kmember with stock front 4cy springs, stock V8 struts, spindles and brakes up front. I have also shaved the front sway bar mounts off the rails to clean it up a little.

some more progress pics. I have chosen to go with a simple well proven combo based on all the reading I have done. JY LQ4 with a th400 and an S475 along with 33 spline spool and 3.27 gears. Why not gently roll the fender lips just in case.

I will only have one aftermarket gauge in the car, this is a street car after all. Microsquirt will be taking control.

In for progress...

You can clip that shroud and glass it in so you have full radiator coverage as well. I used cardboard and just glass over it on both sides. Done several that way now with the taurus fans.

It definitely looks more finished with the work you have done to the shroud. I am planning to have my turbo close to the rad fins on the uncovered portion. This build is getting a/c as well, so I have the 4" ic and condenser stuffed in front of the rad, space is limited
