awesome build so far! thats a great looking kit!
2014 GT - Armageddon Twin Turbo Install
- Thread starter UnleashedBeast
- Start date
Sub'd.
Looks great!
UnleashedBeast: I too am installing the same kit along with a MMR Boss 1000 long block, BMR k-frame, rad support, springs, A-arms, Rear lowers and adjustable upper with mount, pan hard, relocation brackets, Viking shocks, Strange struts. I went with the ID 1000 injectors and a JPC return fuel system. I am doing all this at home in the garage on stands. It is a lot of work and at times I have thought maybe I have bitten off more than I can chew. I like what you have done with the powder coating and am now thinking I may do something similar.
I am thinking of starting a thread on my build as well but need to figure out how to post pics as I am still quite new to all this.
Did you have any problems with the power distribution box interfering with the trans cooler lines? Mine seemed like they were in the way and in trying to bend them out of the way I kinked one.
I will be following your progress as I pick away at my own build when time allows.

How much was the dipstick any modificactions needed is it direct fit thanks
Looking good man, That kit is extremely nice.
Thanks to all, I updated one pic tonight. Odd how I worked so long, but feel like I got nothing "visual" done. Oh well, it's the little things you focus on to prevent future problems.
I know exactly what you mean, however.....just stay your course. You will get through it and will be most rewarding.
I think it will make a big difference in the shock and awe factor when I open the hood.
You can use a photo hosting site like photobucket. Google has good articles on how to place pictures in forum posts.
Had to bend them out of the way. Still having clearance issues with the A/C compressor pulley. Will solve that tomorrow after I get some sleep.
about $90.00 from Summit Racing, if I recall correctly.

I see everyone running the ID1000 injectors? Do yall not have E-85?
I went with the ID2000 injectors and three of the 400+lph pumps.

Hows the Idle? Talk with the ID builders for yourself and they can shed lots of light on things people THINK they know and not know about the injectors ;-) As for me, 1300's seem like a dream for around 1200-1300rwhp range.
1700
soon!

Congrats on the arrival of your twins. Looks like a first class install and write up as well. It's great this isn't your dd as you can take as much time as you need to get it done right. I can't wait to see how this badass turns out.

Damn Troy that looks amazing!!! Congrats man!! Txt me sometime gotta catch up
Looking good bro!
Thank you all for the compliments, still much more to go. Daily update added to post #1.
No, we do not have E85 available in my area. To get it, you must drive 45 minutes to 1 hour in all directions. Forget it, will use 93 pump for 8 PSI and high octane unleaded for higher boost settings with a built engine.
Thanks Dave, you should come hang out any evening after work or any day (all day) Saturday or Sunday. Jon and I have been hard at this install. We can cook burgers and talk cars.
Tell you what, makes the 09 Vista blue GT500 look like a child's toy. This car is so much darn fun, can only imagine what this mod will do to the awesome factor. We will catch up soon.

Updated pics at the end of post #1 and in post #2. Thanks for the comments. We are nearing the end, hoping for a professional photo shoot after a good detail.
With this kit do you have to relocate any of the abs items? I have the jpc lineloc and really would hate to have to make all new lines...
Yes, there is a custom bracket included to move the ABS module more towards the outside fender (behind the headlight). It's not a huge move, and in my opinion, simple brake line bending should allow for your line lock kit to adapt.
