Motor is in, pics...turbo setup

After collecting a lot of dust in the engine bay, the motor finally went in tonight. I still need to polish the valve covers when they come back off to final adjust the rockers, and of course clean everything once it gets in(looks horrible right now, and gotta love the foot print, lol). Oh and yes the motor is completely wired up and vacuum lines ran.

Hopefully it'll go somewhere in the high 9's at 140+ mph on the 17's

Then I'll drive it all over on the street and probably put 150+ miles on it each week, pure street car.

Looks great. I like the turbo mounting location and the exhaust routing.

So are you bringing both headers together behind the motor, up the passenger side to the turbo, and then exhausting down the drivers side or am I missing something?

High 9's? Ehhh.. What suspension mods do you have? You probably have the power but not hookup. I guess you can prove me wrong. That would be sick though. I have no idea what power or time's I'll get. As long as it's fast is all I care.

What fans are those? Will they fit the stock radiator?

He will most likely be proving you wrong.

One thing I'll give Justin credit for is that he know's how to get a car to hook. When he can get a bolt-on LS1 car to pull the 17" SS wheels off the ground on a drag radial, he know's what he's doing.
