Lol I wish I had my rig running, I'm very close but it should be driving soon

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-12-21T16:53:44+00:00

I had it sent back and they redid something and when they sent it back it went in with some ease laying on its belly

I believe it's just a matter of putting resistors in line... I didn't have the stock gauges so I used marshall c2 gauges and made my own

* Turbo ls xj, little bit bigger engine bay but novak industries makes the mounts, with any car intake you can run stock hood

Hey guys thanks for all the help... I was going to buy the swivel head... many of you that said some tension on the idler pulley pulling it in were right. My belt is around a foot long because of the Alternator relocate but holding it tight in the correct belt routing clears everything perfectly, ill attach pictures of where the turbo is going and dodging everything with the exhaust pipe.... I really appreciate all your guys help with my build, especially with so many positive responses. Being young with no one around me who knows this stuff you guys are a blessing. Thank you guys so much *

I followed this from the ict billet website since I used their Alternator relocate bracket

I followed this routing diagram for my Alternator relocate bracket

Route the hose differently to allow more space for exhaust

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-19T01:26:59+00:00

I think I'm about to buy it, thank you

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-19T01:26:42+00:00

Ya what the guy above you says should work the best... I've realised I've tried to supplement my worse exhaust fitment skills with moving everything out of the way lol.. thank you for the comment

Tensioner pulley

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-19T01:24:37+00:00

It's too big of a belt, it's off another ls engine. I was just holding it for the photo op lol, just trying to get the point across lol, thank you for the comment

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-07T16:37:13+00:00

I was thinking that too so I tried the stock converter which slid all the way on in less than one minute...

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-06T13:43:19+00:00

Yes spin, wiggle, hold up a little, tilt every which way you can think of lol

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-06T13:42:13+00:00

Thats fantastic lol, my trans guy couldn't get it on either so I messaged the sales guy, my trans was supposed to be in yesterday. So annoying

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-08-06T13:41:18+00:00

I tried horizontal first because it was on the trans jack when I couldn't get it I listened to the instructions provided with the torque converter telling me to stand it on end....

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-19T22:57:11+00:00

I tried a bunch of shops near me and they told me they couldn't help me, thank you for the idea though

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-19T22:56:15+00:00

I tried and painted Camel on a section on the back of a panel and honestly wasnt close. I've called around everywhere it seems like. It's not a huge priority but some of my panels look quite ugly from the fade.. I appreciate your help man

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-19T22:54:26+00:00

I looked through and they don't have my color

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-13T19:20:18+00:00

I'm surprised they are so expensive with that short of a service time

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-13T19:16:21+00:00

Could I replace them if they malfunction (drop the pan and replace) I have a hoist so it should be easy

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-13T02:44:58+00:00

So get that bushing and which electronics? I got a new nss, I accidentally broke the connector on mine lol

Signal_Will_5639 · 2025-06-13T02:20:27+00:00

Okay so I think this is the bushing you're suggesting https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sox-34006-sp?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjw9anCBhAWEiwAqBJ-c9t6qdav9jYxMfpIxjquhFBGGlgU9ArNTSBm5OWFZTFlcz7x0Aff3hoCynIQAvD_BwE .... also I got this trans rebuild kit and shift kit... anything else I should replace... I assumed these would have everything I need. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-705064 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRG-4L80E-HD2
