Ok so today I managed to get the oil pan drilled and tapped and the oil pan back on. Also the gtm oil sending unit connected to the new motor.. Tomorrow I will drill and tap the motor for the gtm exhaust manifolds...

Why are you not using an oil pan spacer or greddy oil pan? I thought most turbo guys wanted to increase oil capacity.

Actually the oil cooler depending on what size adds about a quart. I'm not crazy about how the oil pan spacer makes the oil pan the lowest point on the front of the car...

good luck sir. how are things coming along? can't wait to see the finished product.

Coming along pretty well and thanks for asking. I need to order another setab 34 row core since I already have the lines and sandwich. plate.

Today I managed to get the intake torqued down and the fuel rails and injectors on. Also managed to get the new z1 motor mounts on and the drivers side exhaust manifold.

What are your power level goals? This being a built motor I figured you were going big. Then I see that you are staying with the stock fuel rail.

Oh come on man lets not get into the fuel rail debate... lol Again I have already spoken with Charles and bobby at vsr and my stock rails will be fine with my aeromotive 340 and my 750cc or 1050cc injectors. My power goals should be in the low to mid 600whp with my gtm stage II turbo's. I don't want crazy power because one it is not usable and two I want it to be Reliable...

Just a question man...You will basically have the same fuel setup as I do if you go with 750s. If that's good enough for 600-650whp then I would be able to cross something off the big power build list. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

I believe 2 or 3 others have this kit with built motors. None made over 600. The only one I know that made over 600 with built block ran e85. I don't think you'll be limited by fuel but rather your turbo kit. SSqueeze with his stage 3 kit made the numbers you're looking for.

Good luck buddy!

Today I got all of the pulleys put on, a/c compressor, motor drilled and tapped and exhaust manifolds on. After reading Esfourteen's build thread his shop found a way to tap into the motor block on the drivers side and from there feeding both turbo's but after calling them they have decided to not share the part number. It may take some time but I Will find this part and post up a part number to all that have the same kit so you have the option of cooling the turbo's better than the way gtm designed it. Yes I offered to pay for the part but like I said I will share it when I find it...

Thanks again esfourteen for trying to share this with the community....:tup:

Solid! Good stuff hope u can get the part number asap!

Actually after looking at the motor there are 2 ports that can be used on each side. More to come soon...

Coming right along!
