As much as I love the VQ, this is why I always say, 2j / LS EVERYTHING!

Good to see a proper build on this forum. Like Trav said, too many penny kids with big dollar dreams.

thanks man.

after this build I think I might make a drag car. Gen 1 rx7 or 90s 300zx and maybe a ls or a 1uz or 1gz. All turbo of course

Great fab work ... sub'd for sure!

Almost picked up a eastwood machine bc theyre so inexpensive and a tiny entry cost to get your feet wet. Ended up with a everlast tig ... surprising how good they are. And a decent band saw make all the difference ...

are you going to run OEM engine mounts long term?

chase z

I made some solid mounts after I seen how much the oem flexed

After spending some time making sure it was 100% timed right it had it first start

I have a back feeding problem form the ignition that I have to fix. I hate wiring problems.

The space was tight for the intake from the intercooler. In had to pie cut the bend and oval out part of it and cut and weld in a flat plate to make enough room for the headlight to fit.

them some crazy pie cuts!!!!

do you wear gloves when you TIG?

chase z

for most tacks naw but for everything else I do. But I use cheap thin harber freight gloves.

The reason I ask is - I wore a pair of thin cow-hide gloves for a while and then I went glove-less and it felt way more comfortable ... I do wear a pair of (harbor freight) latex/rubber gloves to keep the argon scent off my skin.

I'd say try it if the gloves are getting in the way -

I burn my self when I don't use gloves lol

chase z

I still have to weld in a brace and 2 more mounts for the bottom

you will quickly learn not to! Keep up the lords work!

U would think that but I grab **** with out thinking so I keep gloves on!

Put in the lower intercooler mount this thing is solid. And mocked up the pie cuts some more for the piping. I was going to do pie cuts for the turbo to intercooler piping as well but I decided not to for how long it takes and u will never see it with the bumper on.

So whats better a push or pull fan set up? Or is this purely do to the lack of room you have behind the radiator?

chase z

pull is better. Yea that's why I have pushers I need to order one more
