Here is the newest of my 05 l61 turbo!







She's been boosted for about 2 weeks and 2500 miles, yes I drive a lot, and she runs like a champ, don't know the horsepower yet, will get on the dyno soon, but its a blast to drive, the two last picture were from b4 the turbo swap

 

Nice!

Had mine out for the last couple days. The cool fall weather makes for most excellent boosting.

Haven't driven it too much the last couple weeks as I got a new company vehicle...

 

1lowls i used my stock intake mani bolts i think cept for to that needed to be longer and will measure and let you know.

as for why not build my motor before fails cause i thinks pretty cool to be boosted on stock internals and lot of people are surprised and im slowing saving as i have fun with what i got. hey its been to years now supercharged @ 12psi and now i have the lnf turbo setup on for a 2 weeks now

conerboner i would buy it but ima a 05 lap

 

No worries I got it figured out.Im gonna blow this dam turd up with some TNT and Thermite though. lol

 

you guys think this will bolt up, or are the mounts different between models?

Saturn Vue Getrag 5 speed

 

I have no clue if that'll bolt up or not but aren't those the transmissions that have the 4.45 gear set. If so you should buy both trans just because that's what those gear sets go for alone. I'm sure you could sell them for $4-500 a set.

 

no, i dont think the final drive from the f23 would be swappable into the f35. but i just want one for my car...

 

looks like the final drive is 4.41...might be a good pick up.

 

Well then I have no clue to be honest. I'd get pics of yours vs that one. Also what are you doing to boost yours. I have donkeyballs old EFR setup and a TTR intake manifold as well as a few other parts I'm getting. Don't have much more to get but keep buying other stuff for it.

 

just a baby k04 setup

 

What I have, I've also got a few more things now.


I just got the turbo back from BorgWarner and they fixed some issues and sent it back, all for free. I still need a KY stage 3 clutch and the ZZP turbo universal kit as well as 4 more gauges.

 

i need a wideband, cold side pipe, boost gauge...some t bolt clamps, just random little stuff. all my parts are in TN tho.

 

Andrew, don't go with a ky stage 3 man...

 

??

i planned to use it one day... everyone seems to love it.

 

Mines been garbage ever since I installed the zfr. I cant go WOT really. I have to roll into the throttle and that's the only way it really doesn't slip or feel retarded. I know of 3 other people who had problems with it and they are at the track constantly.

Sorry for jumping into the base model thread being as I own a LNF, but I got bored and I decided I'd see what was happening in here.

 

No it's fine, It's the clutch Noorj is running on his 320WHP 299 wheel torque 2.4 and he recommended it to me. What would you have gotten if you could do it again?

 

Ky stage 4? Lol

 

I would've definitely went with the spec 3+ or the fx300. If I had more money when I got my 4.45 trans I would have easily switched it out to some different. But I was in a tight squeeze and needed my car back asap. Next year though, I'm probably gonna step up to the plate and get one of them. Ya they are more moeny, but its a full ceramic disc and it comes with a new tob. So much easier for driveability compared to the puck designs and quick clutch releases from the ky series.

Ive heard the kys3 feels like stock lol

 

No sir. One can say that all they want, but there is physically no way with a 6 puck.

Ill just get a 1000tq one. That should work

 

Have at it then.

 

Haha my leg would probably fall off

 

This thread is pretty awsome.. Base models getting all the love

Didnt know so many were getting Sc'd and turbo'd!

 

What is the best place to get internals from? Contemplating doing pistons & rods over the winter for next year so I can track the car without being worried about blowing it up lol
