Turbo manifold turned out exactly what I wanted for size and wastegate fitment. This is going to be interesting.

Electrical completed! Everything is working properly, last thing to add is a push pull disconnect but it can wait for now to install. Turbo manifold is out getting faced should have it back by Monday, but I did get a nice big box from Jegs to keep me busy over the weekend

Nice; but no flex section in the pipe from compressor to manifold? Turbo will move some when the exh manifold gets hot..

Nope no flex section, and if that manifold moves I'll reweld the pipe. I'm not worried about it, if I had a water to air intercooler hanging off it I would consider a flex section, the way it sits no problem.

Finished up all my intake and exhaust piping, mounted catch can, fuel cell, and electric waterpump. Hood still clears too. Rear electric disconnect, and charging terminals done. It was a good night

Lots of parts ordered today off the list, twin BOV's, fuel system, oil system, and Datalogger. The final run on parts to order is all my AN lines and fittings once I find a happy place for mounting everything. Finally there is a end in sight

Lots of progress and testing. Neverending but I can see a start up video coming in the near future. Just going through a long list of AN fittings and plumbing everything, and she is ready to fire.Name:  20150225_154516_zpsu1q5yn7q.jpg

And the weigh in is done 2,430lb curb weight, and 2,560lb with me in the car alost a perfect 51% front and 49% rear. Little work to do on balancing the rear but close enough to see what it does and go from there.Name:  20150314_151421_zpsd6jj4v4v.jpg

Not a big update but accomplished the waterpump housing inlet adapter which was a pain in the *** with the aluminum and materials not wanting to melt. Here are some finished pics.

First sign of life. Went though the oil, and water systems. No leaks, ran the EWP bled the system, checked oil pressure I was good 50psi on crank. So I said to myself "Mise well squirt some fuel in and see what happens"
FIRED RIGHT UP! Ran for about 4 seconds perfectly, sounds amazing. I may be ready for my event in July after all. Just more more list of parts and this car is ready for the track after a 2 year build.
This is all that's left Fuel, and Vac lines, couple misc. items but nothing to bad

If you decide to switch, I might be interested in your radiator

For sure, it fills the void for now and I already had it. It's got all -12 male ends welded on so it is modified a bit.
