well heres the build on one of my coupes so far...

started out with a $400 shell i bought from a friend





started off slow from there, picked up a z6 long block for cheap...



then stumbled upon a deal on some new eagle rods and ycp vitaras




pieced together the rest of the bottom end internals, took it and had the machine work done, then started assembly






then put some SI wheels on it, while it sits



factory resurfaced flywheel



stock ex trans, might do carbon synchros and LSD before install



going with all Downstar Boltboys hardware on this car



picked up a built head off a buddy, zero miles (flat face valves, titanium retainers, blox valve springs, delta 272 regrind cam with AEM adj cam gear, along with PnP)



also has skunk2 intake manifold with port matched ITR throttle body with D series sensors and AEM fuel rail


some turbo stuff i have already...Pfabrications stainless log manifold with vband tial wastegate


competition stage 2 clutch with ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts, and a few other parts, also a couple turbos, but still looking for the perfect one, wanting 350ish hp out of this setup but dont want any horrible lag

 

extended intake manifold studs and thermal gasket installed, freshly painted timing covers and timing belt installed

picking up a mount tomorrow, and dropping it in! (have a 2 bolt mount on engine and 3bolt for the car -_- )

 

i believe i will be using this borg warner s2xx turbo for this

 

So far so goo I like it, only thing I will warn you know is watch out for the IC pipe coming from TB rubbing on the fuel filter in-line. I rubbed a whole in mine now I am going to do a fuel filter relocation on mine. I have to much engine flex in mine tho.

 

yes i have a buddy who i plan on having make me a fuel line tuck, just not a huge worry right now

 

on another note...

Apparently nobody had a 2bolt chassis mount laying around, so got one from a buddy for free

If anybody has matching rear or trans mount, hit me up ill buy it.

drop engineering mount.
(plan to replace bushing with either black or grey)
