little update assembly is starting tommorow on the engine! few pics of whats gone down so far.






and got some shoes for when the cars back together too

 

little teaser from last week of engine assembly.



should be completed Tuesday/Wednesday and ready to go back in the car!

 

Nice man. Some really fun builds coming together right now.

 

Lookin good man!!! You still runnin stock intake or u get a custom I take built?

 

U talken about the manifold or the charge piping? If your talking about the intake manifold this winter when I recoup a little bit of money I'm going to for the gtr manifold on it

 

I was talkin about the manifold...one of my good friends builds custom intakes which are extremely expensive and I'd thought about going that route but I've heard about the gtr but have never seen gtms finished product for sell...they selling them yet? Cuz I'm sure as hell ready to turn mine up about 20psi and not worry about it popping off, at 18psi u can sit and watch it expand bad and looks like its about to pop lol

 

Lol take a video of that. Id be interested in what "work" has to go into making the gtr fit.

 

that i know of they never finished it. and gamermodz ran 20+ psi through his stock composite manifold i believe and it didnt pop?

 

part of my company is a fab shop where we make automated sandbag filling machines so me and my fabricator might go at it this winter. thinking of buying an extra lower plenum and the gtr manifold and getting those fitted together correctly. then tackle how it will bolt up to the rest of the engine lol XD

 

The rest of the engine is just the intake pipes. The biggest hurdle is probly clearing the hood. I have no idea how "big" the gtr intake is.

 

cant be to much bigger than the composite manifold. and that has a good 2 or 3 inches clearence above it with my seibon hood. shouldnt be to hard to fit

 

everythings about to come together but after thinking about it a little, debating going to twin gtx3071R's and doing a water/meth kit. kinda want to be done with it while its all out. Wont feel the need to come back later then since the gt2871's would be maxed out.

 

cant find any gtx3071's readily available, just sticken with the 28's for now but am going to do meth after break in on the motor

 

Nice, when does it go in the car?

 

starting Wednesday ! should be done friday/saturday but ill be gone to vegas for sema leaving friday night XD hoping i can pick it up before i go!

 

3-4 days for total install, tune, troubleshoot, etc?

good luck!

 

What problem was encountered with the quad plate clutch that necessitated
the triple plate clutch?

Excited to see what a 4.07L VQ can do make sure take vids and what not.

 

That's all it took the first time we put it back in, not holding my breath though probably going to just get it after sema depending what my work schedule looks like my busy season this time of year

 

It was severely damaged from the shop who installed it prior to me receiving it. Was going to trade a member on here my twin for their quad but the quad was unusable. Grand scheme of things I dont need a quad and a triple would suffice and was $300 less

 

Sick. Glad to hear it's all finally coming together, I bet you are stoked. I'm pretty stoked for you, I've been following your build from the beginning.

BTW, more pictures!
