My LS-Coupe Turbo Build

Why do you say that. The one piece that you can see is kind of a pain since it is one piece all the way into the fender where it connects to the a "L" bend that connects to the intercooler. It is kind of hard to get it into the fender, you have to rotate it and the push, rotate, push, ect. Once it is in there it is "in there", I don't foresee any issues with blowing that pipe off!

Only got to work on it a few hours Friday, rest of the weekend I was busy with Christmas parties and weddings. Just really waiting on my converter and then a few odd's and ends, (need to install a breather tank, meth injection, get a belt on it, etc.)

Sounds healthy! Should be fun.

I was just shocked it started right up, with all the shit I changed, cam, tons of re-wiring, 3 bar map, fast response iat, totally different exhaust (duh), converter, injectors, tune, etc. Then just to fire up like a minivan I was floored.

It has been a learning experience, just wish I didn't have to use my FIL's shop to build it (it's a 45min drive each way), really slowed things down for me.

Still need to get a belt for it and fill up the cooling system, oh, and install the meth injection. I only thought I was getting close to finished!

Sounds good!

That'll be one of those unslappably-removed smile moments!

Guess you ended up finding help with the tune. I never heard back from you.

[2165 Turbo Rail]

Sounds awesome. What cam did you go with?

[80coupe]

sounds damn good.

man, i dont even think i ever smile on first starts, right before i know i am about to do it my heart starts beating like crazy, just waiting for some catastrophic shit to go down! i spend the last 5 minutes going over each system to make sure i don't do something stupid like leave a ratchet on the crank pulley or something. i cranked on it for like 15 seconds till i saw like 30+ psi of oil pressure for a few seconds, put the fuse in for the fuel pump, primed it, and boom, it hit on like the first rotation.
