Okay so here is another vid (yes vid is shitty, I will get a better one later)

So we got the car to idle better, still need to jump on the dyno so we can iron out a few things but hey you get the ideal..

 

Okay it was brought to my attention that I have not put a Build Budget Breakdown **** lately.. So here is a update on how much I have spent to date from the last update.. and the grand total..


Okay Here is my upgraded budget Breakdown..


Quik-latch pins (hood,trunk and rear bumper) $143.94
Exhaust & Intake Fab work $1200.00 (this is my cost)
All 6 wheels form DPE $4000.00 (again my cost)
Kill switches $179.90
Accusump & Accessories $423.60
Battery Mount $100.00
Wiring,Custom floor board and cutting/welding arch $1200.00 (again my cost)
IAT sensor $59.95
Fuel filter & fittings $200.00

Total: $7,507.39

Total on Build: $37,528.52 << **** my life!!

 

But so worth it!

Also are your quotes true out of pocket expense, or adjusted for actual value?

 

Manly adjusted for actual value.. I have spent less but I usual post up what others might get it for based on market price.

 

Ugh..I was just planning on building another VQ35 and have it waiting for my time of need. These LS builds blow my ***** off tho. The noise...THE NOISE. The G has a cool noise, but nothing like a V8.

Suppose I'll think about building a G57

 

Thank you Edafe for making me feel great about how much money im dumping on my ls swap!

 

You should def do it.. There is a guy right now building a twin turbo LS motor looking to push 1500hp at D3.. **** is insane..


hahaha you are welcome.. lol How is yours coming along

 

^ The bottom is at TEC (Total Engine Concepts) getting disassembled, checked, cylinder walls honed, and put back together.
Once I get the green light from them that it is all looking good, I'm sending my 243 heads to AI (Advanced Inductions) to have them port it and do a matching cam.

That finishes the engine work (fast 102 was already ported by Vengeance Racing).
So once I get those back, I just have to reassemble the LS6 with all new bolts/seals, and I'm ready for the swap!

Prolly still a couple of months away from start up but very close to the end finally!

 

Dang sounds like you are going to have one sexy beast on your hands.. I had my heads ported and milled also, but they are 806 heads... For now they will do..


I also love in your sig you say phase 1.. lol My self I can't wait to start phase 2 of my engine.. entertaining the idea of a destroked, high comp, twin turbo on E85 beast... Reving at 8k sounds good to me.. lol

 

picked up the beast last night with the "Tow Pig"






I will have more pics and vids come this week. Car sounds like the devil and I love.

 

Okay so I fixed my TPS sensor.. First I bought a new one just to rule out a bad TPS sensor. That was not the case so I knew that the sensor was reading backwards.. After switching the 5v and ground wire we were good to go.




Here is a little vid.. I need to take a proper vid but these will do for now.

Now that we have this wrapped up next on the list is to install my rivet nuts for overfenders, install brake lines, lower car, get alignment, wrap car and then schedule a tune session cause car needs it bad.

 

That's going to be a monster

 

Thanks.. I think its going to be pretty epic once completed fully

 

Got a new vid up.. Friend came over and wanted me to start her up so I was more then happy to do so..

 

OH LAWD. WE WANT MOAR!

Seriously can't wait for this one. You sir, have a true beast in your hands.
