I started the build not to long ago a little over a week and i started with the strip down.
heres some pics.




then i preassembled the Turbo and then attached the turbo to the manifold





For anyone who has the GT28 turbo and is having a hard time finding a discharge plate for your exhaust go to www.atpturbo.com, i got that any my oil reducer from them.

and some random photos





im making my charge pipe all out of steel pipe, so i can weld it and now worry so much about blowing a cupler or anything and then getting them powder coated.
im runing a 2.5" hot side and a 3" cold side for now, untill i upgrade.



i will keep updating as i go, right now im in a tuff spot, i dont want to remove the turbo from the mani to fit it in place but i might have to.
and i stripped the plug they recommend to use on the back of the block, so i gotta use one of the other ones back there or try vice grips to get this one out.

damn man nice. my build is very close to this but ive got a procharger. are you getting the OTTP return fuel kit?

pykie

Thanks
i thought about doing the retun fuel system but i havnt really read up on it, i thought about going to a junk yard and buying a gas tank and fuel rail from the 2006 ls cause they have the return fuel system lol

06_ion2

well the kit allows to turn down the fuel psi on larger injectors to allow for a better idle and finer tuning. its a must for over 350whp i believe

pykie

yea its only $500USD thats not to bad i guess. maybe the CND Dollar will be good again this summer lol and i will buy more stuff.
im building a different motor witch will have the LSJ Head on it (i was told they fit on the L61 block?) and that will be ported and polished and cams and valve terrian.

heres a photo of some of the stuff i had at start.



that was taken before everything was hooked up

nice man .. you could look at a head from http://www.patriot-performance.com/ you will need to make a blocker plate for the EGR but they sell built heads just put in your own cams they flow very well.

oooooo just asking hahahah vulcan sold my manifold a bit ago hahahah i nver paid for it so he sold it lolz no i have to wait for another one to be built :p

pykie

oh i thought they keep em in stock lol.
make sure you go out and buy studs for it, cause they dont have them and 9 times out of 10 your not gonna get 4 bolts down into the header with out studs.
i think they are a m10x35 and then you gotta cut them to however long you need them, thats what i did

Jn2

they do but they are moving into a new location right now, so they are build to order for now, they dont take long to make, he can whip it up in a day, but hahha still that one he had was mine hahahah and im requesting mine to come with studs, he can throw them in, just have to pay for them lol

pykie

yea i had to drill my turbo out to make the studs fit for the size of the wholes in the manifold.
im gonna get the intake mani some day soon

Jn2
