    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.

        Really cool build. Looks like a nice car too. There's actually a couple of us with GMW's around here.

            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.

              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.

                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.

                Come on man, it's not *that* bad, especially with the new tune. You shoulda gone 2jz brah! 

                j/k, man, I just happened to see this thread come up in a search and created an account just to come in here and give you grief. That engine totally suits your car, I want to see a vid when you start it up!

                  Rob! Just finished almost all the wiring yesterday. I'll have to post up some pics it turned out pretty clean.

                            I should really pay someone to get mine running.

                                Time is my bottleneck right now. My car is plumbing and wiring away from running.

                                It would be fun to get some people together - grill out drink beers and get it running though.

                                  Hell Yeah! I've still got my wiring diagrams that I made and also I made my own fuse block with relays...wiring is simple as depicting unneeded shit from PCM and stripping it. Then re wrap the whole harness with braided loom.

                                      Mine came with an aftermarket wiring harness so its all really easy. Couldn't be harder than the M62 swap, that was a wiring nightmare because of the lack of info.

                                          Want to do some stainless welding for me this fall/winter?
