GAGT V2.0 LX9+5spd swap

[tipnitty]

Just get a can of plastidip and post it every where. Remember to call everyone a H8R and you'll fit in well with the helzuflu$h fags.

nope

got the parts to finish off my front brakes caliper brackets are now sandblasted as well, parts car is in the garage still so waiting for some nice weather to get the brakes on in the driveway

[_HeC_]

little paint/polish

found out the hard way you need to buy disc brake hardware for BOTH C5 and the F-body to make these work but got the fronts on for now

didn't think the C5s cleared 16s with the ribs on the top but I had to try and sure enough they do



and on something completely unrelated a buddy down the street brought this home the other day... miss my 2nd gen

[_HeC_]

forgot about these pics, got my front lip on a week or so ago as well

[sleepyalero]

Mmm turbo

[TruGreenGAGT]

they don't clear the stock chrome 16's

[_HeC_]

thought I read the C5 caliper wouldn't clear any 16 cause of the ribs on the top but I could be wrong, I was aware the fake chrome rims your talking about wouldn't clear the F-body or C5

anyways picked up a Zex wet kit off my buddies twin turbo vette he only filled the bottle twice so barely used


anyone have thoughts for switch placement? Dash seems to round to mount a switch anywhere without looking goofy, might make a temp panel to fill the void under the radio but I was planning on upgrading to a double din soon...

for nozzle placement I'm debating on drilling my TB adapter or it came with the fitting to bolt onto my intake

i tried the vette calipers on mine and it rubbed on the rim itself..i never had a problem with the plastic hitting..

[tw0123]

Put the switch in your lighter socket! That way it's a short reach from the shifter

[plastic_indian]

Trigger with a steering wheel button. Use a GT1 wheel and trigger with the volume up button for tongue-in-cheek perfection.

Will be buying another turbo as well and selling my godspeed gt35... 7L CAT Borg Warner turbo will be going in
will need some cutting and welding I'm sure but this is the budget setup I'm going with!


got a double din for cheap so tossed that in as well after a little cutting

finally got my dual posts painted and installed


started a new stereo setup for the trunk

few more layers and quick trim is as far as I got for now, to busy and more important things then a fancy sub install

[_HeC_]

got my nitrous mocked up and bracket welded up for the Zex control box, final install this Sunday I think

welded the bolts on from the back side to make install easy

7-8hrs on the road to meet up with a fellow N-body owner to get my "mint" carbon fiber SCT hood, I returned home still hoodless as the "mint" hood had 3 out of 4 stripped mounting points and a rather big bubble in the middle of the hood that was lifting

also found a better sounding video from my dyno run online from someone that was at the shop the same day

damn young gun had a shorter trip than that one way to buy mine but mine was actually mint. mine only had a couple of small clear coat runs that could be fixed by wet sanding and polishing..


car looks good though.. i got as box and everything for that engine mount but i'm going to stop by the post office to double check the amount for shipping since everything that will let me put in the canada stuff online has the shipping way high..

Way to make the guy feel bad.

Dang dude you had a good sized turbo before, now something bigger? Did you weld up those turbo manifolds yourself?

new one will be pretty similar to the GT35 but with a bigger hot side according to a local turbo shop

manifolds are 2 fronts from a LX9 with custom crossover that I did not weld, it was originally mocked up in a Sunbird GT so I'm expecting to chop it up, especially since the entire crossover is one piece so I want to add a V-band or 2 and will probably change location

Now I really don't trust my dyno, "165whp"sure does move pretty quick in a 3200lb car Could not launch this thing tonight(was really cold) but was hitting 99.7mph traps... has a better time in it I think


have some more updates to put here when I get some time as well

[mfuller]

Based on the ET and speed, somewhere around 200WHP.

[_HeC_]

Bunch of 99.X mph runs and then this! 200+ to the wheels easily

[tipnitty]

Hell yeah man, glad to see she's still getting work done.
