This is going to be an attempt at a back dated build thread/log of my LS turbo Swapped 1998' GT sedan. As a back story, I bought this car in March 2007 https://sl-i.net/FORUM/showthread.ph...-LGT-(3-22-07), and ended up blowing the stock motor up and going on to a 22t/25d + Standalone ecu build by May 2007 https://sl-i.net/FORUM/showthread.ph...-all-is-needed. That swap was fraught with issues (like the 22t bottom being trash 5 miles into driving it) and the car eventually got returned to stock. Once it was returned to stock my dad drove it for a year, and then my younger sister drove it and ended up killing it because of an oil leak. And thus began the long dark road that eventually ended up as an LS swap.
After my little sister blew the car up I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't decide if I wanted another subaru powered swap or not. I remembered Mike Rantel's epic drift outback and decided it was time I owned/built a rwd car. Once that was decided I looked at SRs, RBs, JZs, and LS'. I eventually landed on LS for it'd lowest price point and relatively "small" physical size. Once that was decided, months of research and planning ensued. And eventually... It was time to actually begin...
