Yeah like he said lol. Got evrything except rear calipers and 5 lug bearings ready nowot everything almost ready for

 

what comes with the conversion from powell, ive told to use it but idk what is in the kit and what i uses. i emailed john and he still has responded :/

 

johns super busy you might ahve to re email him

 

Yeah it might take a few tries to get him. Kit is in 3 choices: just brackets, brackets and lines, or whole thing

 

Ok, ill email him on sunday night or monday.

the conversion still keeps it 4 lug correct? if it uses the LSJ calipers what rotors do u use with it?

 

It uses lsj calipers and rotors. If staying for lug, rotors need to be redrilled. I'm switching to 5 lug because my floating rotors can't be redrilled, and I'm eventually switching to lnf knuckles and axels.

 

sickest build by far.. i someday hope to be in your shoes lol

 

Thanks man. I have bearings now, got new rear calipers. Rear conversion on its way, and front rotors being rebuilt.

 

SO got some little stuff done today, also discovered a small problem. Bad news, axels are going, spraying grease all over the underside Well guess its time to try out the new zzp ones. On to good stuff car driving/running great, put in gen 4s with 8k hids, tc grill, mounted my front plate properly, and new emblem. PICS:
Pile of stuff to start, didn't get to sts, e-brake, and boots

pic of pc'd turbo

Ill try and post a vid later tonight

 

man im gonna have to see this car one day ill find a time on my way home to ohio to meet up with you or something. Cars come a long way cant wait till its up running to its full potential

 

First...great job...looks great
Second...and please excuse this newb; but, wouldnt it have been cheaper just to do an LNF swap, with an upgrade??
(just curious since I also have an 2.2 with an LNF sitting in my garage(thinking about doing a swap))

 

iT might be, but prob a pain in the ass, not that this wasn't lol. But would need wiring harness, trans, bcm, axels, bearings, but vould be done. Plus its done my way with exactly the parts I wanted lol

 

LOL, I think I have an LNF with low miles for sale now

 

Brags, what did just the parts alone cost???

 

For the motor, King bearings, clevite bearings$200(you can use gm for cheap), carillo rods $1000 (can use eagle for $300), wiseco pistons $350, rings 50. I also did all new pumps, belts, evrything (not necessary). I also built my head, full 5 angle race port, supertech #78 spings with Ti goodies 350, custom seats 50, Supetech valves 300. It depends on how far you wanna go. My crank is also WPC treated, the 2.2 head really is restictive, reccomend port job for sure.

 

so about 4k just in the motor not including labor......+ tranny upgrade, + new axles

 

Honestly the tranny and axels can take a beating. Only reason I upgraded axels was cause my boots were fckt. Adding a lsd insert helped but that and mounts only tranny upgrade I have, besides clutch obviously.

 

For sure come see me and Matt O!

 

I confused the LSJ with the LNF (again)
I originally meant an LNF swap
I have an LNF sitting in my garage that Im thinking about swapping the 2.2 for...(but, yeah what everyone has said, just a **** load of work)...I think it would be easier to build the 2.2 but in the end the swap would be cheaper...
But, like you said you did it your way, so its unique and BADASS (no price tag for that)

 

i love my boosted 2.2, even though it eats my money :P
