Some updates of random projects I've been working on recently. People were wondering what was going on with this car. Doing a few final small things on this car before I focus all my attention over to the white car.

Got some new brakes for my car. These are Brembo GT BBK. They were in pretty rough shape and will need some elbow grease to get back to acceptable quality. These are spending some time in my blast cabinet.


Friend working on another friend's car. He gets to use my tools and knowledge for free lol.


Driveway shot.


Another angle.


Was doing some quick body work on one of my other cars, this is the GS400. White beast lurking and waiting in the garage


Prep work finished and primed.

Here are some of the things going into upgrading the GS-F!

Injector upgrades for the GS-F. These are 1400cc injectors. I'm hoping to hit that magical 1000hp mark, but we'll see lol.


Hopped on the waterjet to cut out some brackets for some custom LS coil pack brackets. Test run of the first bracket.


Programmed the full batch. Ready to start.


Dual head cutting machine.


Running in action.


Cleaned up. Here's the finished product.


Here's all of them.


Another angle of the custom brackets.


Time to weld on the legs.


Test fit of the coils. Everything seems to be going smoothly.


Some upgraded ARP Custom Age 625+ headstuds. Started to lift the head at 35psi of boost. Need something a bit more stout to keep the head clamped down. These head studs are even stronger than the mighty L19's! They are not susceptible to corrosion induced stress enbrittlement. That was one of the major faults of L19.


Part number just incase anyone is interested, you can order some too.


Shiny


New turbo going in the car. Big brother and little brother. The left one (CompTurbo 7175 Billet Triple BB and Oil-less turbo) is the new unit going in the GS-F. Right one (CompTurbo 6265 Billet) is going in my friends turbo IS300.


Nice and shiny!


This has the newest X-HF high flow extended tip billet compressor wheel!


Some more updates to come in the following weeks as I gather more parts together. Stay tuned!

Fuggin Oil-less turbos for the win... I first read about these from another guy in TX JohnyTran from jtran... He does alot of stuff for the Z & G community... I would think these are perfect for NA-T setups... Keep up the eye candy man thanks for sharing..
