copenhagen6123 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 That's where I am at with my build just a refresh and clean them up and put them back on. I'm only planning on shooting for 400hp. Like you I don't plan on wrapping it out to 9000 either haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Trooper Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Little update... Got the satin white ceramic coated manifold back on with fresh gaskets. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8694.jpg After sealing the intake cams we filled it with oil and hand cranked it until the oil system was primed, took approx 125 revolutions. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8702.jpg Just about ready, up-pipe and turbo about to be placed onto the long block. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8703.jpg Back in it's home. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8725.jpg Oh Yes! http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8718.jpg All suspension and brake components are checked off the list. Fluids Bled and ready for alignment. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8722.jpg Downpipe is done with the satin white ceramic coat, once that and the accessories are in place it will be fired. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8710.jpg 255s, when at ride height they fill the arches perfectly, will need a tiny bit of camber and a mild fender rolling. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8730.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Trooper Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Accessories mounted, this phase of this car's life is 95% complete... http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8734.jpg Time to slap in the radiator, I straightened those fins that where damaged in shipping. Turns out we got sent a radiator and Cusco cooling plate for the wrong car. It was a little too JDM but the the decision was made to modify everything to fit, one off ftw! http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8739.jpg 98% complete http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8741.jpg 98.5% Working on a base tune tonight and running it tomorrow after running the remaining Vac and PCV lines. The car will be broken in tomorrow also. http://www.vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8763.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattg Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Only thing I would have changed is that POS inlet. Gimmick next to Cosworth makes me want to vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I kept all the intake and exhaust stuff for now so i could spend the money I had on other more important stuff but this is just the first chapter. Going to do a 6 speed swap with r180 diff come this winter after I save some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Trooper Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think it looks kinda cool and it seems to be functional. The owner is def going for more blue but I was staring at it last night and its like a big artery, feeding the heart of the setup which in my world is the turbo.

rapture Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 wow what a build a bit overkill imo but shit if i had the funds id go a very similar route glw your killer wagon also trust me start saving for that 6 speed.... subscribed for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started looking at aftermarket silicone inlets - he said "I wouldn't wish that POS on my enemies" I believe the install was less than favorable. Nothing wrong with color selection or that it's aftermarket - it's a specific hate towards that Gimmick bit. Black or blue would be more subtle and tie in and I'd go with Samco or AVO personally.
