V6 Turbo Build

Recommended Posts

So my original thread got deleted (I'm assuming because I hadn't posted on it in a while) But I thought I would repost it up since a lot of progress has been made and its in its final stretch (hopefully running by the end of March)

 

Been working on getting all the parts for this build together for the past two years, so I figured its time to show it since parts are finally heading to the machine shop tomorrow. Hoping to have the car rolling and mechanically finished by the end of March/Early April.

 

I bought the car back in 2007 with 93k on the clock and didn't really do much besides the usual till out of college (CAI, dual exhaust, 8.8 gt axle, tubular control arms, aluminum driveshaft).

 

I took the engine/trans out in November, and have been working on buying the last round of parts for the final build. Currently I am waiting on my pistons to show up from summit racing, then two weeks at the machine shop, then assembly time.

Bowl work, mostly just trimmed the radius where the ports come together, then smoothing out the exhaust as much as possible

:confused: Why yes that is the one! For some reason when I look at the project management page I only see about 15 projects. Is this because of my low post count? If a mod would like to merge them that would be fine, don't want to clog up the forum

 

Edit:

 

Nevermind, I found where I had the error. I will move my post/photos over, so if a mod wants to delete this that's fine. Sorry for the double post.
