At majestic getting the intake manifold installed with the extra injectors and some fab work on the rear motor mount. Not much longer and I'll be able to test the car.
Well I got the trans put together and installed over the weekend. After the trans I got the front subframe installed with the help of my pops and Brandon (team fury).Finishing up a few odds and ends and the car will finally be on the ground for the next round.
Thanks man! This by far isn't the best looking car but I do the best with what I have.I got the rear installed yesterday with help from my pops. Installation went smooth except for sourcing some new bolts that were needed for the upper control arms. A big thanks to Bruce Williams @ Carolina...
Trying to drop all of the lbs I can before purchasing carbon parts. It was a lot of work as the car was on jack stands. If the car was on a lift the work would've been a lot easier.Almost finished.
Well the diet is still commencing so I had a tubular rear subframe built for the 4 bolt. It's getting powder coated at the moment.Second is a set of titanium axle nuts.While I have the transmission out I'm going to install the JB designs basket.Now that I have the tubular k member and...
Well things are coming along nicely. Almost scored a good deal on a magnus cast intake but I was on the road and wasn't able to seal the deal. Moved the direct port nitrous to the bottom of the manifold and moved the 2nd fuel rail up to the top. Once it's all finished i'll send the fuel rail and...
I recently removed all of the undercoating from beneath the car (what a pain). All is clean and ready for paint. The car won't see any street duty so I'm wondering what paint I should use to spray under the car and in the wheel wells.
The only thing that frustrates me is that liberty is about to do a run on their 300M transfer case so it needed to be there this week. Hell the damn pelican case that I shipped them in was $150 itself.
Maybe it's just that time of the year when the post office is really busy (trying to stay positive) but I sent 2 transfer cases to liberty last week and they seem to have gone missing. They were clean with no oil and inside of a big pelican storm case that has 4 press and pull latches. I have to...
Well since plan "diet" has started, I was able to source a tubular k member from don and Justin Barnes. Construction is very nice and will shed around 40 lbs in the front. It has a built in driveshaft safety loop and a clamp to go around the tail shaft of your t case.
Tried to add a photo and...
It probably could but I want to take probably out of the equation. I would rather have more than enough fuel than not have enough. I'll push anything to the limits but injectors not so much. Plus, I don't want to deal with trying to sell my current injectors and buy new ones. Trying to sell...
I think the location on the bottom of the manifold was due to the fabricator. I had the direct port nitrous kit installed so he decided to add the injectors to the bottom side. I might change things up and move the nitrous to the bottom and add the injectors to the top since I will have more to...
Well things didn't go that great at wcf. First pass I snapped a rear axle. Finally found a set from Adam St.John to get me back in so I could try to qualify. Take off and I hear a ping so I pull over. Got back to the trailer and jacked up the car and found out the rear wheels weren't spinning...
So just like bastarddsm said, I'll end up cutting the current bungs on the underside of the manifold off and install smaller dual bungs. I'm currently running 8 injectors.
I've tried searching and cant find the bolt size that goes through the coupler on the steering shaft that hooks up to the rack on the car. This is for a 1g
Is there any size difference between the two? I'm having a guy build me a rear tubular subframe for my car and all he says he needs is the differential. I can get my hands on a 3 bolt diff so I don't have to take the one out of my car.
Summit gets their windows from flexalite aka "FAL". Their windows don't require any trimming but good luck on getting them. I will never spend another dime with FAL as I was lied to multiple times saying that the product had shipped. Then the next one was they received a bad shipment of glass...
I tried ordering through summit a few years back and got the run around for a few months. Here is what most are going with now. They are oversized so you have to trim them to fit.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I will definitely look into removing the silencer ring to see if it helps any.Thanks Thai. I want to make the race on the 30th but with a 76mm they want me to weigh 2900lbs. I'd have to add 250lbs to the car and don't want to stress the driveline adding that weight.

Wheels are the usual slipstream/hoosier setup.
Going to run the S476 for this year then switch to an 80mm.
Just switched to a 2g/ precision setup but had a few issues the last time out. Should have a better time to post soon.
Thanks
I'm running a haltech elite 2500 computer and it weighs 2650 with me in it. I use nitrous to stall and it cuts off when the boost hits 20 lbs. I'll see if I can find a video to upload.
2.0 aluminum rod motor with some shearer high comp pistons. BW S476 turbo, (8) FIC 1650 injectors with a weldon 2345A pump running on E98. Auto built by me with a bradco convertor. We've been adding power every time we've gone out and there is more to add. The 60 foot is what is getting...
