Well last night the saga began.....plucked the motor from the G.
First off I blame Chris and Larry at Sound Perfomance for all this.......It is their fault I am doing it lol..........

Ready to begin



what happened to the front (looks like a GTR a little)


bye-bye driveshaft


T-minus 3-2-1


Take that Gravity


Ready for the next steps....soon to come



Will be continuing in the next few weeks.

Well i see Chris himself working on the car. It couldn't be in greater hands!

I think the LP will have its run for the money! Yikes.

 

What all are you doing?

 

Sound Performance TT kit
stock block with upgraded rods/pistons/rings/pins etc

 

What manufacturer are you using for the rods, pistons, rings, pins, etc ;D I would'nt call that a stock block anymore btw! Good luck keep us posted, what is your target hp/trq and cost $$ ?

 

By stock block I mean just that.....the block isn't being touched....stock sleaves.

Pauter rods, wiesco pistons

SP Stage 1 motor

Power = ? Larry and Chris will tell me when they are done tuning it after we get it back together (is there ever enough power, ha, we'll be limited by stock sleeves)

costs = ? $14 dollars (god how nice would that be lol)

 

Are you changing out the bumper to match the central intercooler or going with custom twin intercoolers for the G?

 

Motor is just about done.....

Will be back together and running in a couple more weeks......

wow, this should be an impressive and expensive build! G/L op!

 

i don't think you will be limited by your stock sleeves or even crank. look at the powerlab g35, stock sleeves plus crank and its over 800 horse

 

Very nice. Can't wait to see what numbers it puts down.

 

Yea, we'll probably go through drivetrain parts first lol...
Gettin Ancy to drive it.......c'mon chris lets go lets go....ha

 

good luck with the build

 

Another loooooooong processed project, have fun and good luck guys

 

Eah it took longer than planned of course, but part of that was due to the shop move. About 2 weeks after we yanked the motor is when SP had to move. So that put us behind some. No big thang. It'll be ready in a few weeks......although I'm ready for it now lol...of course ha
