Pictures of my GT35R setup.

Well after a lot of blood sweat and beers, I'm right about at completion of my project.

Installs to date include:

Microtech LT10-s
GT35R (1.06AR)
Exhaust manifold from 1revvin7
50mm WG
Pineapple oil pan
TFE/hardlined water/oil lines.
750/1600cc injector combo.
SS fuel system from Keith Gibbons (KG Parts)
Im sure there is more.....

Now onto the pictures







Any questions/suggestions/comments welcome. Please keep in mind I put it together fast just to see if it would start.....and it did first try! Tomorrow I'm going to tear off the UIM and wrap the wiring and do some final touches. Gotta add coolant also

Enjoy!

-Ben

yeah looks great so far, god luck and hopefully you have the drivability and power that you are looking for. my suggestion would be to put a heat blanket on the hot side of your turbo and a heat sheild on the LIM. intake temp heat can be a pain in the butt to deal with.

Looks good man, clean up some of those wires and it will look much cleaner! I recently finished my t66 Fc and was thinking about buying a manifold from turblown. THey are very nice manifolds, but im now glad that i didnt. There is no way my t66 would have fit in the placement he has your turbo, but i am sure he could have made it work. Your oil drain looks good, im PMing him about making one for me, im having trouble getting the one i have to work. Good luck with numbers!

I actually have adhesiv heat shield stuff im going to put on the LIM, but as far as the hotside, I do have a blanket for it, but i want to see how the temps act with the ceramic coating.

THe wires will be fixed up today, the manifold was put on with the wires exposed just to see if it would start, and it did first try. So today i get to crack it off and clean up the wires.

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions, keep em coming!

We can make a manifold that will fit for you, we aren't using a jig just hand making each one for each person's application.
