Thanks for the props guys. I just spent 3 hours sitting under the car..looking. Thats the probelem..finishing is less exciting than designing. My God.. the oiling is pretty complex. I have dual pumps and dual harnesses with all the goodies and safety buzzers and all that junk. Doesnt look fun... just want to drive it. Its funny... have alot left to do really:
Install LS2 intake... extend map wire, deal with any issues such as the upward angle of the TB (LS2 intake does this).
I want to re-run the fuel line and change the pump/filter configuration (dont like that big blue filter).
Gotta figure out the best way to run long vaccume (perhaps use brake) lines..and thats tricky with the innovative controller and two waste gates.
Change to some stailess brake lines...
Mount oil pumps and run harness and lines
Have exhaust ceramic coated
Lots of lil stuff...
Id guess it'll be, honestly.....another 60 days...this is my busy work season and Im headin to vegas for a week too.
The turbos should not be too laggy... thats why the small housings and A/R's (.63 each) . The wheels were designed with the package...ci, cam,rpm,rear mount, etc. I dont plan to twist her up above 6500 too much so the power should be mid to upper 3's to 6300 ish (RPM wise).
Now...who wants to confirm this... I have to begin by torquing down one head which I had off... I have l-19 studs and an iron block... thats 100lbs right... for these studs???????

If you fabbed the return pipes up, running the center of the car, thats fricken awesome, and some exhaust shops need to look at that and get their **** together.

I do plan to try different combos... most likely 1st mod will be to step to 2" (from 2.5) for the "over the axel" portion.

Jammer..
Awesome job! Man thats looking sweet!
Hey on your Map wiring for the ls2 manifold what are you going to use for a map sensor? I assume you are talking about moving it to the front of the mani where sthe stock LS2 goes..
I am guessing with those bad boys you are going to run a aftermarket 3-bar Map sensor?
Anyway, what I did was tap the stock hole where the Map goes and threaded it then put a plug in it.. Could use it for a vacum/boost port if needed.. Then used a Accel 3-bar off of one of the outlets on the back of the manifold..
Dont know if that will help but just thought I would throw it out there....
Keep up the awesome pics!!
