Anyone have pictures of the Pettit Subframe?

I'm wondering what you get for $2,000 or whatever they charge.
I read you could make it sit further back than they do on the banzai.

Here's a picture which shows the difference from the intake plenum to the firewall.

Yes, I should have it going by spring. I just need is to pick an ecu and clutch, then finish the misc fabercation (intercooler plumbing, dp). It will be stock turbos for now to get it going for spring. Next winter i'll have her ported and go single. I just want to enjoy the car for a while, I only put on 4k miles in the past year. I don't want too much time down. I've spent about $8k so far and about $3k-$4k to go. Not too bad compaired to $30-35k for a shop to do it.

Real nice
What about the Haltech E11 for ECU, it seems as if its built for 20bs.
Good luck with your project, be sure to post lots of pictures for us

The engine is pushed out too forward. Won't that affect handling?

can you fabricate the stock subframe instead of buying a one for 2k.. Im sure somebody sell one cheaper than pettit. Pettit probably has the most exspensive 20b pakage though. I just dont see 35-40k..

well its a full package, not just putting the engine in
doesnt it include brakes and suspension and **** like that? plus modified turbos, fuel system, intercooler.
if so thats not so bad

but yeah you could do it a lot cheaper if you did everything yourself
