Default 1/22 TT progress pics

Here are some better pics, we mounted the FMIC, also stripped out a bunch of the stock wiring harness and mounted the front motor plates.

The oil pan got earls weld on fittings put on it, but I didn't get pictures of that yet because we are still missing 2 fittings for the oil return system

We got that thing for free after one night we were doing a tranny swap and it was raining and hailing on us, that got old pretty quick.

It gets up to about 50deg F with that little heater we have, costs about $7 per night to run.

Term: Maybe i am not looking carefully enough but it appears your IC only has an inlet and an outlet. Are you going to run both turbos to one inlet? Just curious as i am going with a FMIC on my upgraded CAS setup and would like a few ideas.

Yes, both turbos through 1 intercooler for the moment, eventually I will run twin A2W intercoolers, the Griffin FM is only a temporary solution.

are you goingto Y the tubing together from the turbos since you only have one inlet or are you going to weld another inlet to your ic?

Tom @ LS1Speed does as well as Kurt @ W2W. I would not recomend getting it from ls1speed though.

You should call Kurt if you want one, they run around $2500, very well done unit.

Weld a Y together, like I said the FMIC is a temporary solution. I don't think it will support the power levels I am looking for.

Infact the headers are temporary too, when I get my new turbos they will have a T4 flange, so I will probably end up selling the FMIC, charge piping, turbos and headers as a package deal later this year.
