96 3000GT TT Frankenstein build...

In September of 2010 I bought my first 3000GT, shortly after it was hit while parked by a man running from the police and since he was in a stolen vehicle I got screwed... No order to repair my car was made and after that it was down hill. The water pump seized up and the water pump pulley broke.

After this I decided to leave the body alone and focus on the performance. Fortunately when I bought the car it had some awesome supporting modifications.

It also had an HKS filter and an Exhaust system.

I spent some time last night installing my Rear Rotors and new Brake pads. Here is what they look like. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...T/IMAG0306.jpg
I know I should of painted the Calipers but I failed...

Hey guys, so I got my car on the Dyno at FSR and well.. Numbers are Numbers... I'm highly disappointed in the numbers but here they are...

165 HP @5700 RPM's
170 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM's

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0313.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0312.jpg

And of course here are the Videos from first to last pull.

First FSR Dyno pull 3000GT N/A- YouTube
Second FSR Dyno pull 3000GT N/A - YouTube
Third FSR Dyno pull 3000GT N/A - YouTube

From what the data shows a few things are happening. According to my A/F Ratio I dont have an ECU problem. FSR thinks I might have floating lifters or clogged cat's... Who knows at this point. I'm not sure how this can be verified until I pull some things apart.

I'm wondering if it could be the VICS but I thought of this after I got home so I cant unplug it to see the changes... Oh well.

Well, here goes round 4 or 5 on the transmission...

well here it is... =( I didnt even notice any problems with the performance.

On another note, I did get my new clutch installed. XTD 6 puck stage 3. New friction plate this time for my Fidenza Flywheel.

Ok so here is my latest problem...

I thought I had a 4 bolt when I really had a 2 bolt so my oil pan doesn't match up.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0406.jpg

Here is a look at the difference of the oil pans...
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0402.jpg

Other updates, I have installed the transmission and have the axles in and what not. The other thing I'll be completing soon is the 0 gauge install for my future battery relocation and some interior features such as removing some more TAN pieces to install grey or gray... :smt009 not sure what the difference is right now... meh.

If anyone has the 2 bolt TT Oil Pan I need and is willing to TRADE for my 4 Bolt TT oil pan please give me a call as I need this so I can install the rest of my crap... Need this done in the next 3 or 4 days thanks! If you dont want to trade but are willing to let it go I can afford no more then $30 bucks right now =/ Thanks!

Front and rear turbo installed, wire harness and ecu installed. Passenger side intercooler installed and almost done with driverside. Just need to cut open the opening.

I dont think im going to find a 2 bolt oil pan with a 4 bolt oil pump so I hacked the oil return fittings off the 4 bolt oil pan I had to get this project done. I just need two tack welds and Im ready to BOOST!!!

Here are some pictures with updates!

Driver side intercooler and oil cooler installed.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0423.jpg

Oil pan installed and oil lines connected.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0422.jpg
Had to mod the front one because the only flat surface that I could drill and secure the oil line was further from the oem location by about 1.5 inches.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0421.jpg
Front and rear turbo's installed with cooling/oil lines as well as wastegates.

EGR block off plate installed. I still need the one for the plenum but I can improvise for now.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0426.jpg

If I can sneak back into the garage I'll install the dash and finish up the A/C, Alternator and radiator.

Well, I snuck back in the garage and pretty much finished up everything I could. I was hoping to be able to take it off the jack stands but it turns out someone sold me the wrong down pipe which really sucks. Although it is a FED spec it doesnt bold up to the rear turbo flange as mine is strait not slanted. :smt011

Alternator, A/C compressor, belt, radiator, and all the hoses I had clamps for are on.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0429.jpg

All I need now is a TT FPR/FP as well as a down pipe or mod mine so it works.

Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:55 am
Another update!

Still need the copper washers for the banjo bolts.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0437.jpg

The Down-pipe got a minor adjustment.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0435.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0436.jpg

And looks like everything is almost done! (Thanks to Cho for stopping by with a FPR and keeping me motivated.)
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0430.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...k/IMAG0438.jpg

I also managed to get my dash installed as well as my new 0/1 gauge power wire for my AMPS as well as my future Hot Wire Fuel Pump or even the battery relocation to the rear.

PS:
Bad news today but its not mine to share... We'll see if it comes to the boards...
