New engine setup Ive been working on for a while. Greddy Trust mid mount setup using original manifold and td06 20gL2 turbo. Matched with radium top feed fuel rail and evolved injection 850cc injectors with staggered tomei cams. All fab work has been done by Garage Autohero. We are just switching out the Power FC for a Link ecu then it will be tuned up and ready to go!

Slowly cleaning up the engine bay.

The LS takes up every micrometer of available height space and barely clears the front strut bar. Doesn't exactly clear the hood either.

Damn, what crappy mount kit was used? All of the other LSXs here have the intake sitting an inch below the pinch seam on the fire wall.

All the swap parts are Sikky. It can't go any lower because the manifold collectors are already sitting lower than the frame rails.

So I did some research and learned something new. The FAST 102 intake mani sits a little over an inch higher than the stock intake. That's why my LS appears to sit higher than most. What can you do? Still lower than a Holley. At least my hood actually closes.

Curious to see what this makes. I had a similar cam setup and a similar turbo before and it was meh. Just dyno’d the new setup and it’s amazing though. Post up some updates when you get it run in!

Pics of my bay per rules. Super dirty but I made a new intake and swapped turbos since the last time I posted I think. Also, the headlight/cooling covers were just in for test fit. Going to powder them this week.

Looks like you did 2" or 2.5" piping for the downpipe? It was extremely hard to fit a 3" downpipe between the brake booster, firewall, and manifold when I had my greddy mid-mount td06 setup. Although it definitely is possible, just took us a long time to get all the bends right.

engine bay is still a cluttered mess but slowly working on things to clean it up. I've had this cooling panel laying around for years & finally decided to put it on the car.

ka-titties · 08-07-2018, 06:34 AM

Looks like she chooches pretty good

greddy2die · 08-07-2018, 08:26 AM

Should soon, I only have a base/cruising tune for now. I need to install my new fuel system this week so I can switch over the e85 for final tuning.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 08-18-2018, 01:15 AM

Finally finished up my bay for the most part. Still need to add a lower heat shield for the brake lines. I can't wait until the stainless headers start to change colors.

feito · 08-18-2018, 08:33 AM

Youre also missing a couple of radiator brackets there. Also, whats with the breather? Running a standalone?

Razi · 08-18-2018, 09:12 AM

Looks good!
You should tap the bleeder screw hole and put a fitting on it for your swirl pot. Works a lot better than the port on the side, cause the bubbles tend to rise up

Yeah the car was apart for almost a year, I misplaced them at some point. I actually just found them last night.

Standalone? No, that just the crank case breather.

Yeah I plan on changing some things up this winter, I may add something like that while I'm in there.

That's unmeasured air being sucked in if you have the other end of your pcv hooked up. Hence the standalone question.

I know it's a small detail but you should route your injector wires on the other side of the runners so it's less visible. Makes a big difference.

EDIT: NVM just realized the plugs are angled that way on a KA.

also I know you like sr20, and fwiw I would prefer sr20 myself.
Problem is 1 sr20 costs as much as 5x of those 5L monsters.
Had to take a step back and rethink how to drive a fast car for basically free these days, feel my pain
