XCLR8TN's BRG LS6 Build

[XCLR8TN]

Finally.

[tanakapz]

that's quite the impressive fit. 3" piping?

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Wow the underside of that car is impressive

2.5", I wish the openings on the tranny mount were bigger radius so they would tuck up higher than the frame rails... I put those flex pipes up front but the rest of the exhaust is so solidly mounted they are more for hot/cold expansion than anything else. I can grab the exhaust and tug/push on it and it moves the whole car lol. Double hanger at the tranny right by the x pipe, and a single hanger in a V shape hooking both pipes before the vband and holding it to the subframe. All hangers are the poly ones from FM, they don't stretch at all o_O

Clean? I've had 3 years to clean and paint lol!

Gonna have this done before the snow flies? That gives you about 6 weeks, right?

[XCLR8TN]

Well then. Guess I need to bleed the clutch again. First wants to engage before it's actually in first, with the clutch pressed in >:O

This is all you get for now, I'm going to try and find a Motive bleeder locally.



Oh and I cracked my bumper coming off the lift at 1 mph. I'm going to have to dremel the lip part off.



Ducting on the bottom is complete, still debating putting some up top. The air intake is definitely in the way.

Oh lord this sounds so nice. I'm usually against ls swaps but that sound

I had no idea when I bought that cam that it would be aggressive enough to shake the entire car at idle, lol.

[psulja]

So tempted to go LS while looking through this thread!

Amazing build Jess, can't wait to see it in person one day.

The tune in the ECU now was just a base tune, and even running closed loop. Once I get it back down to them and on the dyno I'm sure it will run better.

[WASABI]

Great work Jess! God that sounds AWESOME! I can't wait to see the dyno video. Keep it up!

-Cheers,

Jim
