At first i had the on3 76/65 and i was able to get a 10.1@140 with that. Then i was given a damaged on3 78/75 and thats what i ran the 9.67 with. Ljms stage 2 cam in a l33 with the 799’s that came on it. Im also auto. I torched the t56 after a few months. Over around 600whp you really need an external pump to lube the “head set gears” the thin trans fluid runs to the back and overheats the gears in the front of the trans. Wish I would have known that before I messed my t56 up lol
Nice
The turbo may be my first weak point im assuming
Some nice progress! I have the same turbo kit you do. At one point i was manual also. I ran my drain line into the side of the pan. No need for a scavenging pump on mine. My car has since been auto swapped and l33 swapped. Made 741whp and 749 wtq on 17#’s with the converter locked. Ran a best of 9.67@146 on 19-20#’s. Absolutely cannot complain about the quality of the kit! Im very satisfied. If you have any questions feel free to ask!!
When it had the cast iron 5.3 in it it weighed 3840#’s with me in it. It now has the aluminum l33 so id suspect it to weigh around 3700-3750 with me in it
I got the griffin radiator in and mocked up some supports.
its going to take some magic to get the exhaust out the bumper with the wg and lower rad hose being in the way
Tried paint matching the intake, it didnt quite match up LOL... but whatever. Now just waiting on some parts to button it up to get it running with the stock map/fuel system for now to make sure nothing leaks and ready for tuning
my turbo compressor side doesnt have a port for wastegate line....can i connect the wastegate vaccum line to the original pcv port on left side of intake behind the throttle body?

That should be fine. I have my map sensor off of that port. I used the evap port on the opposite side to feed a vacuum distribution block that feeds my wastegate, bov, hobs switch and my boost gauge

Sounds good, ill try to slither a hose in there somewhere safe. It just sucks that the intake port is so much bigger than the port on the wg
