What about the trans? Not so much of a sinking ship as I really have wanted to do this for a while, and now have access to a welder, so I can save a ton of money.
As for the trans... that's just something I'm going to act like isn't there. I'll just cross my fingers every time it shifts. lol [/b]hahaha That actually made me laugh out loud.

As long as you don't do burnouts all the time (or once with slicks :p ), launch it hard or spin the tires going around a corner your trans will hold up for quite a while.
Mine was at 15 psi daily and has the line pressure maxed due to a bad solenoid inside it and has had no problems whatsoever.
Really all you need is a stronger IS and maybe gearset/chain so save up for that and get one built for when the trans does eventually go, then you are only down 1 day swapping them out.
I'm excited to see this build, it's exactly what I would do if I were to do it all over again and wish I did do from the start. Would have had a much better and more reliable build for less money.

The only thing I really wish was changed is the VS cam. It WILL be a ST5 when the trans needs to come out. I will not be running slicks at all. I will launch it real light with no burnout. The thing that might get it is when it bangs into 2nd. The track times might not be all that impressive, but the traps should be pretty nasty with this turbo. They are pretty monsterous. (Not my pic, but this is the same model that I'm getting) Once the turbo stuff is in the car, and I can drive it, I will be buying a transmission along with a chain (15/16 or 1") along with an IS, some clutch packs, and some other small things. It will sit in my garage next to the ST5 cam until this transmission breaks.

Why can't you use existing setup and just throw on the turbo? Like the IC setup, and use blower for the intake? What about your Pacesetters?

1. No where near the room for another intercooler. 2. I would see little to no gain with a twincharged setup. 3. Do not need the headaches of tuning a twincharged setup.
Pacesetters are being hacked up and used as headers for the turbo.

I could be wrong but I think it is a turbo from a stock Eagle Talon. It looks about as small as my friends Audi 1.8t turbo.

the water/air intercooler isn't as effective as an air/air. It just shows how inefficient the cores are. A guy on CGP made 80whp more just going from a fullsize m90 intercooler to an air to air intercooler.
Corey built a custom intake, basically welded an LS1 tb to the l67 LIM. Looks good, should work pretty well.

OH, didn't know either, hadn't seen his pictures of the intake.
