Melting Slicks
Main bearing clearances fell right in the middle of factory spec at 15 thousand so I sent it. And because the mains were so consistent I didnt even check the rod bearing clearances. Lol wish me luck. The machine shop that I used was a one man show that runs his business out of a small shop behind his house and all he did was run a ball hone the cylinders, install new cam bearings, hot tank the block and deck the heads.
Time to get the turbo setup back on and put some boost to it!

I just used plastigauge. Whole new rotating assembly that was balanced. Time to boost it for sure! Tomorrow it goes to the fab guys house for some finishing touches. Shouldnt be long at this point.

Just an update
Brought the car to the fab guy and got straight to work
He didnt like how the kit was placed and started modifying everything
The turbo sits in a much better place. Had to modify the hotside and dump tubes
Peekaboo
Valve covers on
Intercooler mounted
The trick bracket that he made
Relocated the coil packs
Its starting to look mean
Street car. Still has an a/c condensor and will still be functioning.
Another angle of the kit
Coldside coming together
Its looking badass

Love it, where is the radiator going? Do you have to relocate the coil packs?

Thanks, so do I. Ive never seen another C6 with this turbo placement so its unique and different for sure. Its all in the details. The radiator will be in the back of the car where the mufflers used to be. Coil packs probably didnt have to be relocated but I wanted to clean up the engine bay by relocating them.
