Hey guys, picked this bad mother up for 700, since I've done a few mods. The trans was having issues, so I pulled it. Installed new bearings, shift fork, fulcrum ball, stage V unsprung 4 puck, shep lsd insert, stage III axles.

I'm shooting for a decent 14b times.
Oops need pics lol
pics up shortly

Day I picked her up
Image
Needs a little love and cleaning up
Image
Bye bye trans
Image
Stage III axles

Engine bay waiting for trans
Image
Fuel pump setup, Walbro 255, feeding an A1000
Image
Gauges showed up today, prosport electric boost gauge and electric oil pressure gauge
Image
I had to cut below the seat a little, I still need to trim up the cushion and put it back
Image
Now for the fun stuff, snow performance methanol and venom nitrous. ;)
Image

I still have a few things to button up, but I should have more pics of her on the road next weekend or possibly this weekend.

Nice and clean. I was wondering about an intercooler until I saw the snow kit. Should be a lot of fun! One tip though, you should always go with an analog boost/vacuum gauge, the electric stepper motor is too slow to keep up with instant changes, especially with the prosports.

I've used both, I still prefer the Electric over Analog. Thanks for the advice though. ;)

I'm not running an intercooler, instead I'm using dual methanol injection, 1 M10 nozzle right at the jpipe and another at the bend before the throttle body.

As for the FPR it is on my return line, I switched the routing of the lines. So now my feed is my return and my return is my feed. Make sense?

My LSD should be here today! So hopefully I can have this bad beast up and running tomorrow, I just have to weld the BOV flange on and wire a few things.

Original C53a car? Vin digit #8 is a Z? IF swapped don't worry about it, but if this is an original turbo car listed or otherwise, please let me know. 8)

Can you get me an entry for the registry? http://www.4g61t.org/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 30&start=0
All turbo cars should have a "Z" for the 8th digit, they aren't originals otherwise. Was this car owned by another member here recently, as I may already have it listed and just have to transfer your name and location into the entry.
