ECurious two ?'s what xhaust A/R are you going to be using on that holset...(BTW it is one of my favorite turbos)
the next question are you making new manifolds for the LQ or just the xovers?
I don't think holset measure that way, as far as I know they measure them in cm^2, don't ask me to explain... My DSM buddy has been figureing out the particulars for the turbo aspects of the project, so he has the whole battle plan worked out.

As far as the manifolds, they're being made from scratch. The stock rear (now passenger side) manifold doesn't fit to well in this tight RWD application, and they don't flow that well anyway, so I just ditched them all togethor. I just got the flanges a few days ago, and I ordered all the tubing for my chassis guy the other day to.

If you want to know anything about lighting, literally... ANYTHING, one of my fraternity brothers living in this semester works at hella. He knows everything from how to wire them up to having tons of part numbers memorized. Ask a specific question and he will answer.

I think this should be a sticky/pinned thread so newbies have some reading material to see what it takes to dot his swap.

What are the peculiars on this creation? Are you doing the fabrication yourself?

No thread jacking, this is all about me...me-me-me...this way I can score all the chicks

Nice setup stephen, looks like Santa came early for you

to the scheduled update...Cooling system:

From the last exp. I had a three core brass-copper radiator made...this thing COOLS, come to find out I could have gotten it in aluminum for a couple of $$$ more...oh well, live and learn

Also my tranny cooler from B&M is going bye-bye...I "took the bulls by the horn" for an Earl's 25 row cooler...the fan does not fit ...bummer, however I am still thinking of a way around it...

Cont'd..
Used a fiero stock therm housing cut and reverse...before I had used the stock themo configuration which was in the block...the easier thing would be to use a fiero thermo also...
...this way you can throw water into the block and replace the thermostat easily...

I would be running either Evans NPG waterless coolant fancy name for "propylene glycol"...however at $25.00/gal I might just use plain deionized water and 20% coolant...

let me know how the Evans works out for you, and if the stock overflow size is going to work out or not, I'm planning on using that as well.

Since I am not using A/C, compressor is replaced with this...

Installed looks like this;

Now I have to go get a belt or two (trial and error)...
