Nice job...thanks for the update. I see your running the eficonnection hardware...I will be watching this one!!

 

very cool build!!!!

 

Very nice... Where did you get those valve covers from? Are they real CF?

 

i like those valve covers. seems like a interesting build. i enjoy watching builds occur

 

What a long ass day! Made some really good progress today engine bay is DONE! Blue your the man, Thanks! Some of the pics for some reason show up looking darker but the white is WHITE and really pops. I cant wait to see how the dark engine with the carbon fiber is going to look!

P.S. I dont think ill ever paint another engine bay without it being on the lift! it was SOOO easy to make sure the hard to reach places all got color. with the bar configuration theres still a couple areas that just got a light dusting but you cant see any of them.

what kind of tubbing bender are you using?

 

very nice work man. keep it up.

 

Time for a little update. I got the flywheel/clutch installed and matted the two together for the final time. Started getting the Cross member TQ arm mount built and I have 90% of the 4" down pipe and boom tube exhaust tacked together. Its starting to take shape im off on vacation for the next two weeks, when I get back its getting the radiator and intercooler mounted and start working on the engine wiring harness and maybe fuel system.

looks sick! I love this build. keep it up! I really like the white engine bay too, its got me thinking....

 

Keeping the engine bay the same color as the car was very important to me. I've always thought that it looked like a much cleaner build when you take that extra step and match the exterior much like factory. I'm hoping to have the car ready atleast drivable by the ltxshootout.... we will see!

 

Are you using a cheap tubbing bender or do you have an expensive machine that you are using to bend that tubbing?

 

bad ass build

 

nice build.. any more updates?

 

alotttttta work going on there. looks good

 

Well I got the A2W intercooler mounted and have mocked up the charge piping. Its starting to look like a complete engine bay! I also got the radiator hoses made and installed... $300 bucks for radiator hoses is retarded ... but it looks good and should work like a champ.

I also took the entire LT1 wiring harness apart and pulled out all the BS that I didnt want/need. stuff like transmission sensors, rear O2, fan and fuel pump wiring, oil pressure sensor etc... Then took it all and added the LS1 PCM ends along with coil,cam and crank sensor plugs I also relocated the MAP sensor and coil connections to the interior and relocated the IAT sensor up through the frame rails to where Ill mount the sensor in the charge piping.
