JPC - Lightning Coyote Swap + Turbo

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

Hey guys,

We'll were getting started on doing a coyote swap into a lightning. I thought I'd throw together a build thread to keep you guys posted of the progress.

Here's the goal -

JPC 1500hp Outlaw Coyote Shortblock
-Oliver Billet Rods
-Manley Pistons
-Sleeved Block
RGR Stage 3 Ported Cylinder Heads

Turbo 400 Transmisson
FRPP Control Pack

Custom JPC Turbo Kit
Precision 7685 Turbo

Below I've got a picture of it with the a mach up motor. We're going to get started on the piping here shortly.

Should use a 6R80 instead of the TH400 but otherwise love it and cant wait to see it done

 

[Wastedrubber]

Sub'n!

We did a little test fitting with the boss intake. We're working on making it so you can re use the lightning alternator.

 

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

Alright so we're pretty close to getting it all together.

Just a heads up we're using the FRPP power steering bracket and a modular power steering pump on this. We'll be using that belt to run the alternator as well. We're still working out some belt sizes but you can see the general layout. We did end up needing to notch out the water pump slightly (second picture).

Very nice and can't wait to see how it runs!!!

Edit: Answered my own question after a little research.

 

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

The hotside pipes were fabricated today and we've got the turbo mounted up!

As far as the 6r80 goes there's no current aftermarket controller for a 6r80.

 

[mysteed]

Very cool.

 

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

Custom intercooler is all mounted up!

Why?

 

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

Getting started on the downpipe. We're routing it back to where the stock exhaust would exit.

 

[Eric@jpc]

Cold Pipe is under way!!

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

Very cool. Going to be a beast:beer:

Testing fitting the harness over the engine.
