Finished my built engine swap
last summer I did my first turbo setup on the z. was not enough for me so I decided to get a built motor and up the boost. I just finished putting it in on jack stands in my garage. its actually pretty easy to do. not a lot of space for your hands though. the car turned on for me once to check for leaks now just needs a fresh tune. here is a few pics of the swap.

old numbers were 400 new numbers I have no idea. the powerlab kit was a weak choice for high a horsepower turbo kit. I bought it at the time when i did not plan to drop a built engine in. id like to get 600 to 650 but realistically I am prolly looking in the 500's. anyway..il see what i can make with it. if its still not enough il part of the turbokit and go with twins like i should have done in the first place.

Looks great, but i would have removed that extra pulley while the motor was out. No need for the idler.

finally got my tuning date at MAC Auto in Denver on the 4th..cars been sitting here in the garage. Waiting has been driving me crazy for the past month. the weather has been really nice and I cant drive my car..just got some rear camber arms in today. ill need those to put more power to the ground. The camber with the drop is wearing the **** outta the inside of the tires.

Progress update. Car maxed out the waste gate at 15psi making 500 whp..after putting in a larger spring I'm hoping to get around 590 hp. Ran into a few intake manifold and exhaust leaks that need to be squared away. Running e85 trying to make 600 ish all said and done.
