Actually the headers just showed up today! Overall fit and quality is pretty good. Clearance between the header and oil ports is pretty tight so I will need to get 90 degree ORB to hose end fittings. Using an ORB to AN adapter will not fit.

From what i hear the Sikky kit is the best thing to buy, and their header design is amazing by keeping the headers away from you plug wires and also fitting perfectly around the steering rack but I cant speak for it personally. Just from what I have heard. Build looks high quality I love it I will be starting mine soon.

Both Vorshlag and Sikky swap components seem to be very high quality. There are pros and cons to both of them but I don’t think you can go wrong either way. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between the two but ultimately decided on Vorshlag for my build.

Was able to get enough header clearance using a xrp ultra low profile orb fitting (pn: 989110). Have almost 1/2” clearance now.

Ill be honest and say i have not heard one complaint from the sikky kit besides maybe when running the tr6060 and how you have to massage the tunnel and if you use their relocation shifter the amount of material that needs to cut off. If you dont mind sharing your cons im open ears

Finished the dash assembly today. I’m using the Aim pdm32 with 6” dash.

Also made a new mount for the remote battery terminals and upgraded to Motorsport grade 1/0 cable from cheaper grade 2 ga. Battery located in the trunk with msel master relay.

Previously had battery grounded in the trunk but now the grounds runs up to the terminal post. My car has always cranked a bit slow since the battery relocation and the ls3 would be even worse.

Really amazing work. Excited to see more.

Got some arp bolts and a bunch of parts back from cerakote today. Really liking how everything came out. Wanted to go with a color a bit out of the ordinary. Kinda looks brownish in a couple of the pics but the color looks really good in person and especially so in direct sunlight.

eBay subframe modified for Vorshlag mounts. Dropping it off for powder coat tomorrow.

PDM and ECU mounting.

Very slick setup. What is the box in front? It looks like an airbag by the circular shape and connectors.

You’re correct. Motec mounts under/behind the passenger airbag. Not a ton of options under the dash there it’s pretty tight.

So did you get rid of the engine bay harness that goes through the firewall on both sides to make your own harness?
