how much did you pay for the manly rods?

 

$330

 

where did you buy them from ... like on line or local .... do you feel there are better then eagle or are they just the ones you bought

 

i ordered them through nolimitmotorsports.com and as far as quality in my own opinion i think they are better than eagle rods considering they are almost the same price

 

looks like a solid build with quality parts, plus it's obvious you're taking the time to do it right the first time.

as far as the rods, I've used Manley rods and Eagles, I prefer the Manley rods... quality rods made in the US, Manley stands behind their products 110%

 

couple of updated pictures finished puttin the motor together and bolted it to the b series tranny and put it in the car tim to start the fabrication part of the build.

Wow, this is gonna be fucken sick! Why did you pick the LS trans over B16/GSR?

 

more pics of the trans mounted!

 

got the ls trans for cheap money but i just picked up a gsr tranny so im gonna build that and use it and i will update with more pick of the tranny and bell house mods

 

Nice. That block looks solid!

 

looks really good so far. i gotta follow this one!

 

please don't use that tee to supply oil to the turbo... the oil leaving that port is unfiltered and will cause premature turbo damage.

either run an inline serviceable filter on the feedline or get a sandwich plate, the ports on a plate supply filtered oil.

 

what engine mounts did you use?

 

i used regular b/d mounts for a eg with the 3 post timing belt side mount but running the b series tranny it pushes the whole swap over to passenger side 1" so i made a billet spacer between the post mount and block

 

Been using a similar tee on my gt30r y8 for about 4 years.......No issues at all..

 

You sure that tee is feeding unfiltered oil? The oil pressure sensor port on d-series motors is directly after the oil filter...


Nice build!

 

Any updates? What did you do on the driver side mount bracket? spacers and longer bolts?

Nice build I want to D2B but without a plate

 

Nice build, will stay tuned to see finished product

 

have a few updates gonna take some new pictures this weekend started the fab work pretty much have the the cold side pipe made just needs to be finish welded and next step gonna start building my forward facing turbo manifold

 

i made a billet spacer for the timing belt side mount with longer bolts

 

I love that block, wish I went that route with my backup motor
