Went to grab some food for the family.

Looks great!

Umm. It's big?

120lb/hr injector

More stuff to follow in the next few weeks but then I will probably go radio silent when school starts.

UMI Performance 3-point Subframe connectors are installed, still need to paint the weld points to protect them.

Here's a pic of the T-56 installed, you can see the adapter plate (barely) and the mods done to the cross member to accommodate said adapter plate.

why no true dual exhaust?

The local shops would only have gone under axle, I'm not going that way, it looks like crap.

I'll be staying single exhaust anyway when I go turbo anyway, so, meh.

ah ok.

The underbelly of the beast looks to be in good shape

God I love this car.

I'd say the subframe connectors did exactly what they needed to!

I had to do spark plugs today and spray paint the welds while I was under there. I don't feel safe trying to drive a manual trans car up on ramps and then put it on the stands so I just jack the car up on each side to get the front tire high enough to set it on the ramp.

I can now lift one entire side of the car and have both tires off the ground. The chassis could flex enough that the rear tire would still be on the ground at this height.

Nice!

What a great thread here! Pics,Vids and spec's! You have done a great job on that car.

I really appreciate cars like that at my shop. We don't have a lift, so the easier it is to get two wheels up on one side, the better, haha.

Got parts coming in. Boost block and turbo should be here soon. Have to assemble, will do that after some machine work to handle the powah and keep it sealed at ~25 psi and high rpm.

I like where this is going.

Been busy with school, but this should motivate things pretty well...

I really, REALLY like where this is going.

aw snap!

Well, I'm doing research on the next step after my top end package is done. Flywheel and Clutch to handle the power at max effort.

I'm staying away from Spec as much as possible from experiences I've seen in the bigger power stuff for the V6's in the past. Monster is the only company that seemed to be up to the challenge, but I'd have to send a flywheel to them first before they could give me the go ahead. Never got anything back from Centerforce and I believe McLeod said "NOPE."

In the mean time, I decided to look in Australia for V6 friendly apps for the T-5 equipped Holdens. I think I found a jackpot, but it's gonna be costly.

Gonna have to tag this NSFW now...

This was in an e-mail from NPC just now, they recommended the 10.5" dual plate kit. I asked for pricing and pics if possible.

Here's the Coyote V8 clutch/flywheel combo, the flywheel will be different but the clutch will be very similar. Good to 800rwhp and ~$1800USD + Freight from Australia. MF-ING Ouch. Power doesn't exactly come cheap, folks. Anyway, I figured I'd have to be staring down a clutch/flywheel combo that would come out as a sizeable chunk of cash.

Anyway, PR0N!



This was on their website, single plate, 6 button ceramic clutch kit:

Just a little chilly out today...

Okay, cleaned up the garage a little bit and got to inventory a few things that I'd purchased online a while back to see what I have and what I need, etc. etc.

Hello, old friend.

Ooh, hey, been awhile. No turbo project progress at the moment. Took it racing though!

Two sessions, turn it up a little. I get some funny commentary here and there.

HAD A FRIGGIN BLAST! Got nothing but compliments, and had good tips from two road race instructors there.

Nice, man! Looks like fun!

It was without a doubt.
