Like the title says, I am going boost, I planned this roughly 4-5 months ago. Its been a long process, but should be done within a few weeks if nothing gets rushed or ruined. I am doing this with a friend who has some mechanical knowledge and myself who has some. How hard could it be right? Haha. Well the engine is out and waiting for me to swap the heads to the built block. That should be done by the end of this week and next week I will begin mounting all the good stuff. Here is what my build is:

GTM Stage 0 Block
GTM Stage 2 Twin Turbo Kit
-intercooler, bovs, test pipes and what not
GTM Return Fuel System
GTM Intake Plenum
Head gasket
800CC Fuel Injectors
HKS FCON Vpro Engine management
Upgraded Radiator, Trans Cooler, Engine Oil Cooler, Catch can, Hoses
Exedy Stage 2 Carbon Clutch


Thats about all I can remember, if I forgot anything important let me know or if you have any comments/suggestions, please let me know. Ill post some pictures this weekend.

 

sweet man keep us posted! about the do the vortech over here.

 

Looks like a good project with quality parts so good luck and keep us updated.

 

Nice

 

Why do you need a transmission cooler? It's an MT so I didn't even know you can use one.

 

what's a GTM intake plenum?

 

Haha, I am not really sure. I just asked Sam if he had something instead of using an SSV and he said they have their own version that will work well with my setup. I want to maintain a stock look in case I need to pop the hood.

Its like $60, the car is in pieces, might as well throw it in since it will only extend the life of the tranny.

 

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! God Luck... I really cant wait to see your car!!!!!!!

 

I had Sam install a spacer on mine to keep the stock appearance, did not want the aftermarket intake plenum.

Actually my car is there right now just having some minor adjustments.

 

I dont understand why you need a Trans cooler with a MT....I am over 800 whp and I dont need one....I am sure you wont have that much power...so ask George or Sam at GTM why you need it. I am sure they think you have a AT.

 

Pics?

 

I dont even see how you can hook a trans cooler upto a MT Other than that. Cant wait to see the final result I plan to build a sedan to

 

Congrats bro!! Keep us updated on the build.

 

Why in the hell would you get a trans cooler for a 6mt.There is no pump in the trans to pump the fluid thru the lines to the cooler and there is no need unless they are going to run a seperate pump which to me is stupid.How are you gonna have a powerfull enough pump to move the fluid....its friggen thick gear oil...and the pump would probably take up half the trunk.

 

I just ordered it since it was $60. Sam never said to get it. But if you are running 800hp, I won't go through the hassle of setting it up. My moms RX330 has one and that car only has like 250hp so I figured it wouldn't hurt.
