TvsQuez Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I'll update this one. Motor swap and tranny are being done. Turbo install etc will all be done next week. New hood, 3/4 drop with sp shocks all will be on too. I'll probably only push a few psi and break in the new motor, but i'll see where i go from there. I've been deciding front mount or mid moint. Have a buddy that just finished his mid mount, and it's sick. You guys have a preference? i've been looking on here for mid mounts, and haven't seen much of anything. Pro's? con's? thanks. I'll update with pics later. Edited September 2, 2012 by Tvsquez (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxsailor803 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Man I wish I got that much gear when I did a similar swap for my SS. Granted this is a truck that I will keep forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TvsQuez Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 i'll get some when the piping is done. I don't like looking at it until it's fully done, and the paint is done. I'll see what i can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TvsQuez Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Yeah, i haven't had much time to make it down there at all. Work etc. Mounted turbo yesterday. Finishing a few nick nacks (spelling on that) and hooked up methanol. Just have to finish gauges etc, and some paint work (panels and few scratches for some touch ups). I'll work on pics, just been busy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TvsQuez Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 when the truck was lowered they had to Shorten drive line. that was done. Then had some issues etc. not sure what. It's taken awhile for this. I'll stop here as I'm getting irritated how long this build is taking. I have some pics but I'll post a build thread in a bit. Thx.

TvsQuez Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 truck is in break in mode right now. 3-4# boost is all its seeing. So far it's. whole different feeling then my old supercharger. weird to feel something hook. I must say the lowering kit has impressed me. Figured itd be a worse ride, but rides like stock. Feels great. anyways, I have videos at half throttle. No idea how to post them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TvsQuez Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 And the video is just pointed at the laptop as we're tuning. can hear turbo etc. thanks. If someone can post for me I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
