I have had this rolling chassis for a year or 2 now, and I'm finally putting it together. I'v been out of the dsm world for a few years now, ever since I spun a rod bearing in my gsx. I bought other toys through the years because I was overwhelmed of the cost and work of building this car. Well, I finally decided to go through with it, and now I'm a month or so away from it running. yaaayyy.
Here's the car: click
People will get mad because I'm not going to take this car off road again. I can't. I don't have the time or money to do so. There is also nothing close enough to make it worth while for me. I'm not saying I won't do it in the future. I just love these cars, and I like to go fast. Unfortunalty, all we have here is a striaght line. Again, in the furture I very well may decide to get a smaller turbo and go around some curves. That would be fun.
engine:
manley turbo tuff rods
ross 8:5 pistons
stock crank
FP 4R cams
fidanza adjustable cam gears(I had to degree my cams in, due to the head and block both being resurfaced)
ported head, but nothing major
supertech duals
drive line:
Jacks middle build with evo III first gear and double syncro third added
QM twin disk
New tcase
4 bolt rear end
Others:
dsmlink v3
gm maf(I want to eventually switch over to SD)
JM fab race SMIM with ford 70mm TB
Punishment racing hand built t3 manifold/o2 housing and DP
PTE 6262 .82 a/r (non BB /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif )
Tial 38mm
RC 1200 cc injectors(unless I find out those wont be big enough)
And many other little goodies. That just the jist of it.
Right now the engine/trans/tcase is bolted in the car. No manifolds on yet. I had to send the exhaust manifold back to punishment so he could ensure which one it is so the o2 housing will fit perfectly. When it comes back, it will have the o2 housing, downpipe, ngk wideband, my second wablro 255 and turbo install parts.
My fuel cell will be here sometime this week. once all these parts get here, it will time to get after it again. I still lack a few parts to get his thing going. I have no idea what to do for the rest of the exhaust. I need a find a valve cover I like. I need a batter relocation kit, a coil mount and fuel gauge amoung a few othere.
I have to figure out how this oil cooler attaches to the oil filter housing. I have to get this large SBR 1g FMIC kit to fit on the car too. once the cell gets here I have to build the mounts for it and all the fuel lines and what not. As of right now, stock suspension and some evo VIII wheels.
well, what do you think?
I need to get some pics on here.
