Waiting on:
Intake Manifold
Hahn
N2MB Wot Box

 

you bought a gmpp intake mani they are like a $1000 new

 

Yea i had to have Ray Bates weld one up...

 

you have got the new ttr one they are well priced
how much power do you plan to make

 

Good call, Justin means this:

Turbo Tech Racing Ecotec Intake Manifold - Turbo Tech Racing, LLC

 

I would be happy with 550 whp. Motor is built to handle 800 but right now the blower cams are going to hold me back!

 

Good luck on your build. If you need any advice let me know.

I agree with TurboTech, buy theirs instead. Also with the modifications that you're making how much power are you trying to actually make? The list I'm looking at, I'm thinking big power like 400+ range.

 

Wow nice build. subd

 

Nice unit!

power level was in the post ahead ill edit OP Thanks!

Thanks

 

you are putting all this work in the car change the cams not much more money

and i want to see this when you are done

 

The cams will be changed just not right now. I would like to get it running the new motor only has 500 miles on it. we really aren't that far away from each other!

 

nice build man. hope to see great numbers too. sorry i was either too lazy or missed if u had any sleeves?

 

Its a Bates Race Block. Comes sleeved with 1/2 in Thru studs.

 

yeah maybe in the spring we can meet up at the track

 

sub'd

 

wow nice man. GL with the build. its defenatelly gona be another moster power lsj. i just did my turbo swap last week and the change is just increadible from superchared to turbo. and i just want to sit at around 350-370whp and call it a day. but defenately insterested in what a fully built one can do

 

Thanks! I cant wait to get it up and running its been years since i actually enjoyed the car.


Bringing the down pipe, oil pan, valve cover in for some welds today. Shop said it would be done the next day.

 

Your the man working outside in the freezing ass cold! Way to get it done!

 

Thanks. Nice welding!

Removed:
Took off my Corsa.

Still waiting on IM, Alternator, Exhaust.
Oil pan, and Valve cover will be done tomorrow!














I need to cut a little off... lol













Old Corsa!


I also started making the Catch can hoses!

 

nice progress! How hard was the wotbox to install? And I cut like 4 inches off the external dump or it would've hit all kinds of things lol

 

Yea i'm going to hack it off tomorrow. The WOT Box was pretty straight forward! Good instructions from the site. I don't know how tight it would be if the throttle body and intake manifold were on though!

 

Oh snap! Big boy time! Good stuff bro! I hope everything works out okay and goes smoothly! Just make it reliable and fun!

 

sooo nasty!!!!!!!!!! cant not WAIT to see this in person

 

Damn nice build man! I cant wait to see some vids of this beast
