Deeper and deeper. ... ...

Looks like I want to be a snob with my wiring and go for a dual bulk head connector and also get a turbo mount to make life easy.

So clean!

Installed the Motion Raceworks steam vent kit and 417 Motorsports billet water manifold. Both items are top notch quality; however, the 417 manifold is an absolute gem. The timing cover will need to come off for dual oil drains for the turbos and will be painted black at that time. I'll also take the ICT valley pan off to give that a high polish. At the end of the process, when the engine comes out to paint the engine bay, I'll clean the block and paint it with aluminum paint. All-in-all, it will look minty fresh when it's done... or at least I will be happy with it!

The steam vent kit will be tied into the water manifold with a 4AN line. Also, I will get a pressure sensor so I can see if I lift a head.

Some more pictures for you animals:

Not really. I just asked if you had sticky fingers. I don't want to know the details of your sex life. Of course Spoiler does. Hell, the video might be already on NatGeo.

We're gonna have a problem in here...

I have acquired my new turbo headers for the right price, Free ninety nine. I'll get out to the shop tomorrow and clean them up. The flanges will be cut off and Vbands welded on. Mounting points will be ground down smooth. After that, I will have them ceramic coated and all will be good.

The Clearview Filter came in... and it was a good choice. Not sure where I'm mounting it... but that's down the road anyway.

Spoke to Maven Performance about the bulkhead connector, turbo mounts and T4 flanges. That's in motion. Let's just say Maven Performance threw in a free T-shirt...

Cleaned up some stock exhaust manifolds. Got a bit aggressive in a few spots. Looks like they are ready for v-bands AND filler. Oops. Did a test fit on the car and the manifolds fit perfectly.

Rusty · 01-11-2020, 07:52 PM

After grinding. Looks like you got some thin spots. You pokd some holes. Where you don't have holes. How thin are those areas?

gbrettin · 01-11-2020, 09:42 PM

It looked good except for where I blew through.

IT'S A MATCH! AMP EFI IGN-1A meet Motion Raceworks coil bracket. Gonna be some sweet sweet spark and bang action going on soon.

Coil packs mounted and intake bolted down. Motion Raceworks coil brackets look nice on the Holley valve covers. Some progress is better than no progress. I'm slow ��*♂️. I also try to think about future placement of turbo plumbing, wiring, hoses and etc... Guess that accounts for some of the slowness. I'd rather do it right.

Fun fact. It is possible to put the coil packs on the wrong way if you are a dummy. Note to self: Don't be stupid, stupid.

The mil-spec connector (shout out to Maven Performance) appears to be an awesome idea after all. The space where the battery was located is going to be the home for the mil-spec connector.

My shortlist needed now are EGT bungs (8 for sensors), Ignition Coil connectors and GM LS 58x Wiring Harness

That should conclude most all the wiring components I need.

It keeps getting better and better.

Motor looks great.
