This is an awesome build. What was your swap budget if you don't mind me asking? I tried looking on your thread and I couldn't find it. I must've missed it if you did mention it in here.

Thanks man!...there was no budget lol...spend until it’s done and then keep spending it seems on this build. I’m already upgrading the cooling fans that I had previously upgraded

Have you considered removing the front grill and getting a "drift armor" bar to increase front airflow?

No I haven’t, I didn’t want to remove the bumper. Also my giant oil cooler is mounted on the factory crash bar.

The fan shroud kit I have comes with 900 cfm spal fans. Spal makes the same fan with a larger motor that moves 1300 cfm, Spal also makes an 1800 cfm fan that has a slightly larger foot print. I ordered two of each to see if I could fit two of the big ones or maybe one big one and a smaller one, or just both smaller ones.

The cooling needs some help dealing with stop and go traffic type driving.

Add a radiator in the trunk lol. I don't recall, did you have hood vents?

No way that’s where the woofers go!

Lol. I have a siebon hood that has “some” vents

Ashikabi · 06-28-2018, 03:42 PM

I suppose you could add more. Either a kit like Verus makes, or cut your own like I did

I’ll leave this here.

Engine was heating up during extended aggressive backroads driving on 90 degree+ days. Worked on some ducting to get more air through the radiator.

Had the engine cooler mounted to the factory crash bar.

Cut out the crash bar

Built the ducting out of home depot aluminum sheet.

Opened up the grill a bit

Mounted the cooler further back

Sealed it all up with foil tape

ILLSMOQ · 10-23-2018, 01:09 PM

Tried drifting...didn’t work out so good. Not as easy as I thought it would be.

Awesome build!
I understand you also drive it on the streets.
Does the fuel gauge work with the motec unit?
And do you know your mpg? Is it better than 13?

Surely v8s in cars do better than low teens?

Yes, fuel gauge works perfect with the Motec. Tune might require minor adjustment depending on what motor you end up getting but there is an adjustable value used for accurate fuel gauge display.

I am getting 13ish MPG (LS2 with heads/cam), but getting tuned in two days, looking forward to increasing it.

13?! hopefully thats spirited driving... I'm (untuned) getting 24-26mpg on the highway! LS2 with BTR custom cam. (calculated at the gas pump w/ odo)
