so far i'm at 7935 but that includes engine, machine shop services: rebuilding engine, custom bell housing, flywheel spacer, modified starter, and transmission, custom fuel rails, powdercoating front engine cover and painting valve covers.

 

WOW thats actually not bad at all!

 

Dude, who's dick do I have to suck to get this conversion at that price?


Seriously, that is a VERY conservative cash outlay for such a unique conversion. I was thinking you'd be 15-20 large by now. I assume the engine mounts are the same (haven't seen a comment about it yet). What about any factory wiring? I know you said you're running a standalone ECU, but I would think there has to be some kind of factory harness adaptation going on in there. What about your drivetrain? I didn't see what tranny you're using, but I would think, at 1200hp, you'd have to have it seriously beefed up, if not converted to a domestic auto (powerglide, TH400, etc.). What about your rear? I'm certain the stock diff is gonna frag under half the power you're running. What are your plans for that? I assume cryoing the... well, pretty much everything, is in the plans as well.

Excellent work. Are you doing most of it yourself?

 

Thats cheaper than goin with most F/I systems!!!

 

I get the engine back tomorrow then I have to do the measurements for the mounts. not using the factory harness only the coils, as for the tranny right now i'm running with the jwt clutch and flywheel, will probably have to upgrade to a os giken dual disc clutch. as for the differential didn't get to that yet. next step after mounts are turbo manifolds, fuel system, exhaust, the drop it off to get wired up and tuned.

 

7935 is a fckin bargain in a half

 

Just wait until stuff starts breaking ; that's when it'll start to get expensive. I wouldn't be a bit surprised for this project to go well over $20k. Kel's just getting started.

Just take it one step and one problem at a time. I think what you are doing is amazing. I wish I had the time and resources for such an undertaking.

 

any updated pics yet?

 

top secrets wasnt awd either. they kept it rwd for weight reasons.

 

actually they couldn't fit the axles in the front that's why it stayed rwd

 

then it should be called GTS GTR=AWD.

 

i know u have had a million and one compliments by now but here is a million and two, ****ing amazing i was drooling over the m45 and g35c and now ur combining them into 1, im in such envy well congradulations and it techs a very intelligent person to be making this possible, well good luck bro and i cant wait to see the finished pictures, peace!

 

I wonder where you got the idea for the M45 Headlights on a G....
From KnightRyder's PhotoShopped Concept of the 2007 G45 Coupe?
Keep us posted with Pics! Can't wait to see the finished product. It's looking Great!

 

wow this is gonna be one sweet ride

 

yeah got the headlight conversion idea from the photoshop g45 concept. waiting for other pics to download
