You might want to do some research first Dakota.

Quite a bit of work in a TII swap, you need an engine harness (keep it the same as the chassis, S4/S4 of S5/S5), an engine, turbos, manifolds, injectors, fuel pump, gauge cluster, intercooler, related piping, etc. I can help you source quite a bit of that, but I'd hate to see you get in 1000+ dollars and abandon a project (well, mostly I'd hate it, if you have a clean chassis I'll just buy it and put an LSx in it. ).

Bling, bling.

Engine bay with new red wrinkle finish, Jaz catchcan/overflow for coolant, -10 crossover between the valve covers, -12 feed to Moroso breather tank, as well as a wire tuck and the lines/nozzle for the methanol.





Crossover bungs welded into the stock valve covers.


Methanol nozzle.

The rest of them are t-bolt clamps. They mis-sent me a 3.5" where I needed a 3.0" for that junction, so it's got a hose clamp until the replacement comes in.

FWIW, 6-7 psi doesn't particularly seem to bother it though.

That's why I dropped over $2,000 in Wiggins clamps. TOTALLY worth the money

::Wakes Up::

Dear sweet baby jesus, I just had a horrible nightmare that I wasted $2K on ****** charge pipe connectors!!!

In other news though, I'm changing turbo set ups for (hopefully) the last time if anyone is interested. Prices include shipping and pay pal fees but it'll of coarse be cheaper for the local guys:

Turbo is brand new Garrett GT-88. It’s got a T6 flange and a 1.08 a/r. Good to 1400HP. $1200 with 2 brand new T6 weld flanges.





Wastegate is a brand new in box “Sleeper” Turbosmart 50mm Pro-Gate. Part number TS-0502-1002. $450.




Boost gauge is a brand new in box ProSport Premium Series electrical gauge with peak recall and warning. http://prosportgauges.com/amber-whit...ost-gauge.aspx $75




Intercooler is a brand new 4x12x24 core, 3in/out. $175.

It was a blast as usual, but my coils fried while I was on the dyno.
I was already told by quite a few people that the LS1 coils were weak.
I couldn't rev it past 6000rpm cleanly.

I gotta figure out how I want to set-up my ignition system now.

It seems like you have had more problems with your FD than anyone else I've heard of.

I've had it for 7 or 8 years.
The last few years rocked...I believe the LS1 coils have been through too much.
No big deal.

I hung out with your boy Justin again.
Cool *** ****.
