The Frog v3 - 242 LTT

L didnt have the luxury items that a DL had :) Like no clock, the rear side windows cannot be flipped out in the rear, no fresh air inlets in front of the front doors, the floor carpet is black rubber, rear interior panel below the side windows is some painted cheap material and not like the door panels, engine is B20 instead of B21 and probably some more small details that i have forgot :)

Edit: The seat covers are different too

So in different word is L a light weight race car! :)
 
Havent been feeling good lately so not much progress
No more clutch and didnt have a brake pedal from an auto so made a special :)

I already had the VEMS left over from another project and i have very good support on it from my tuner


Excellent project!
Tell us about the results of the project? What is the power at which the boost pressure at which RPMs?

I'm doing a similar project, but I use the engine LQ9 6 liters. Now I need to make a choice of the turbine. I have a goal about 600-700 HP. I think between Holset HX55pro or two turbines Hx40 Super. But because of the lack of experience with large engines I have my doubts. Perhaps one HX55 will be restrictive for this engine.
 
No updates for a while but i have been working on it

The oil pan was the lowest point on the car so i built some protection for it and also added a tow hook

My TH375 wasnt shifting from first so i bought a RVMB TH400 with a Hughes GM35 converter. Will be swapping converter when i turn the boost up

A previous owner had tried to install some gauges on the dashboard and totally destroyed it so i made a bracket for a pad that is connected to my engine management

Bought some 80lbs injectors

The new injectors were taller so i had to chop down the stock fuel rail so it wouldnt hit the hood. Found a pretty big restriction in the feed line so i grinded it down

The new transmission was shorter than the old so i made i new transmission mount

Took it to the local supermarket for some shopping. Have driven it a couple of hours and it feels like its going to be a nice car!

Think it sounds pretty nice :) It needs some tuning(and more than half throttle)
