Default Twin GT42 LSX T/A

Just wanted to share some pictures from our newest project.

This will be a super long term project, but I thought I would share some quick mockup pics...

Precision GT42s
Turbosmart SS Wastegates
Turbosmart BOVs
Autronic EMS with 16 injectors
Alcohol
Glide
Drag Radials

The car will be a FUN toy...no serious racing goals for it...just something to take to the track and run in ORSCA limited street (not that it would be even close to competitive)

Anyway, the 42s are going to sit IN the fog light holes...should be pretty cool when it is all said and done.

I will post more pics when I get some!

That is where we are right now...First step is to weld the engine bay and smooth the firewall...get everything in there good and then start on the manifolds.

Phil, your build got me itching to do something, so thanks for the inspiration!

Just make sure yo have a good flowing backside on those units if running alcohol. Those 42's are notorious for backing up on bigger cube motors with race fuel, let alone alcohol.
