VVEL control unlocked

Keep at it man and good luck!

Lol that guy is a joke. I don't mind cocky but atleast have the intelligence to back it up.

And Yes he is on that ZL1 life now.

Anyways I will post some updates...some good some bad. The one off build has had its struggles which I was anticipating.

The good:
Z is now vinyled
Z is now on BC BRs
Z now has a Mishimoto Rad
Z has had power steering relocated
Z is now on 265s/305s

The bad:
Turbo seals blew...Over oiling was the cause. Guess a -3 feed and -8 drain was too aggressive. I have since bumper to a -10 drain but that has had its issues. With the way the turbo is mounted the new -10 line is too large and hits the t3 flange and the CHRA will not properly seat in the exhaust side. Last week I modeled up a new drain flange with a hard line extension and it should be machined and ready to go this weekend. This should give me enough room for the new rubber drain hose to clamp on.

Once this is done other than a small PS leak at the inlet the car is ready to head to RT Tuning for retune and a few more pounds of boost and maybe e85.

Also my fabricator and I have parted ways on this project so everything from here on out will be professionally made but using my 3d models/drafts in Solidworks.

Pics of the PS relocation, Vinyl outside, drain flange, and the indoor pics are after BC BR installation. Note the front end is on blocks of wood.
