Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Didn't bother with a full build thread, it's well documented. But if you have questions...shoot. Here's some random pictures. I'll post up some videos when it's running. Looking forward to some meets near Eau Claire. A little bit about the motor: LS1 T56 Spec stage 3 clutch MS3 Cam with supporting dual valve springs, titanium retainers, push rods LS6 intake Ported throttle body Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Threw a new melling pump in there while I had it out and made the standalone wire harness myself using the stock harness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsweers89 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Something cool finally pops up in WI shweet. Please tell me this is going in a clean plastic bumpered car and not diving boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah, actually, to make this more interesting. This is an air bag car and I found a way to use the original column. Well...I did have to do a little grinding and welding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Here is a couple photos I have of my car. It used to have a turbo on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Kaiser this is just for fun. I'm not sure where you can drift, auto x in EC. There is a strip just south of me so I do wanna go there. Do you do auto x or anything around here?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We use to have 2 autox days a year, one at the small tech lot and the other at the larger. We recently lost the small tech lot due to complaints. So we're down to one super local event a year. Otherwise it's off to dctc in MN. For drift stuff you pretty much have to go to shawano (can also do hpde there) or the dells. Strip as in rock falls?

Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah rock falls. I haven't been there yet but have heard about it. I definitely want to go to a hpde, Road America. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've heard not fantastic things about the track surface and how it's prepped. But local is local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've always been in EC. Only other person I can think of from menominie on here was Karl...(?) I can't remember. Think he had an m50 swapped e30 something or other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Something cool finally pops up in WI shweet. Please tell me this is going in a clean plastic bumpered car and not diving boards. No joke! All the other builds on here are total bullshit, even the other LS swapped cars patsbimmer1, m42b32, GunMetalGrey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks gents, wasn't too sure what feedback I would get. Seems a lot of people jump shit for putting a GM motor in these cars. I'm just looking for that reliable 400whp vs my old high strung m20 running 18psi just waiting for the headgasket to let loose.

YoungCR Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Cool build, you get credit for trying the turbo m20 setup first too. You and Kaiser should also check out Lacrosse's autocross events, I put them on the calendar this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah definitely will man. I plan to just put random pictures of some progress in this thread.

wasnt m3 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Really cool build. Looks like a nice car too. There's actually a couple of us with GMW's around here. SteelBlue and CMart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like the power? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 No build thread. I actually bought it swapped to save both time and money. Lots of changes coming soon. Currently is a stock LS with t56. Power is ok, I have a built ls1(block and crank are literally the only things left stock) going in that will be good for another honest 100whp. Things ended up getting really expensive really fast haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah before you know it you've spent 4K and still need another 1k in parts...but half the fun is making it work and figuring it out.
