This was my approach in 2018 when getting into a CTSV was heavy on my mind. The spyder had just gotten to be too impractical and too "race car-y" for me to really enjoy on the street anymore. For the turnkey 500whp awd spyder I put a 10,000$ tag on it. Absolutely no interest. I ultimately had to...
Its been quite a long time since there has been any significant changes with the car. Heres a quick rundown on the last year.* In December of '21 the car was still fighting some fueling issues that couldnt for the life of me figure out. But the car did run and was able to move under its own...
Ah balls, youre right. My computer was going on the fritz when i was trying to reply to here so id gotten mixed up whos profile i was trying to look at.
If the turbo that is currently on the car is stock you arent going to be able to just slap on that turbo. T3 refers to the flange size/style. There is definitely more to it. Youll have to think about turbo oil feed as well as a drain. Plus the exhaust downpipe will have to be purchased or...
Well, i took care of my voltage issue. Im fighting some fuel trim issues now. Might be due to a bad wideband sensor. Ill have to get a new one and see how/if it helps. For now, just out here catchin some rays!
Couple small changes since last time. I decided i didnt like the placement of the intercooler. So, i ditched it. In doing so i decided to move the radiator to the rear and mount the fuel tank over the rear end. The pvc is for mock up purposes(for the most part 😂) i have to weld up my fuel fill...

*built a new alternator bracket,
*got front tires and mounted, then once set on the ground noticed i got the wrong spring rate for my shocks. It was...
He nailed it. You likely arent going to be spoon fed here. A few key words in the search bar will net far more threads than the replies you will get.
Now, just throwing in some larger injectors will probably get you further from your goals as youll need some way to accommodate for the extra...
No i didnt. I thought i could upload it from my phone but it didnt work. Im having some small issues with it getting up to temp. Ill grab another, better, video here soon. In the mean time heres the most recent pic!!
thanks bud! I hope to be able to take it down the road in a week or two! Pretty late in the season but it is what it is! Hopefully i can make it to the track for some shakedowns before the end of the season!
So a bit of an update here. I did some body work to the front fender and got all four clear coated, ordered some rear wheels and tires, and Wired the car. As it sits right now im waiting for my map sensor to come in and i can adjust the fuel pressure and fire it up. Hopefully everything works as...
Bingo. There should be 5 studs coming up from the trans and the long bolt with a nut going through the mount off the framerail.edit: im sorry i didnt realize you mentioned it was a 420a car. Still could be the case though.
