ready to rock
still looks somewhat sleeper, too bad the fuel pump is so GD loud and the big ass fart can :unsure:
the rear rims have had a turn on just about every car
lex is finally making more than 10psi.
i turned up the wick to 17psi and did some testing on the street… shit feels really good.
I’m running at the flashlight drags tomorrow on pump gas/17psi or so. then friday at the import event im gonna run around 28psi and some race gas…
check out my super cold air intake
haha, was checking for boost leaks
a little transbrake +10psi launch test

gonna sell the car… too many toys right now
would have won but in final race i shifted from 1st to third. doh
this car sucks in 1/8th mile without a spoolup shot of nitrous. This car shines in the 2nd 1/8th of the 1/4
motor is built now… waiting on the built GE head to come back.
working on the turbo setup as i write this…
borg warner 380 - t4 1.25 A/R 80mm
some updates:
- got the th400 trans back in, removed the stock bellhousing and replaced it with ultrabell http://www.2jzpower.com/forums/showthread.php?t=905
- tack welded the adapter to the header, turned out really nice.
next i need to modify the xspower 4" exhaust, modify the gate flange on the header, build a dump tube for the gate.
here is the xspower 4" downpipe. Really nice stuff for under $400
here is the adapter flange i had made. it is 3/4" thick, then it was milled on a angle from 3/16" to nothing to lean the turbo in towards the header. this was then welded onto the stock t4 flange on the xspower header.
here is the huge xspower intercooler. I cut the front bumper today to give it more flow
sat the downpipe in there for test fitment… will need a different vband flange and may need to do some cutting to make it fit better with my setup. it’s close though! much better than starting from scratch!
turbo installed. very small clearance with runner #1. for now, i ground off the casting bump 1/2 way around the compressor housing.
Looks good, I like that car.
I can’t believe how big that turbo is. It’s like the size of my head!
looks really nice. good work
building the piping… this will never blow off :biggrin:
had to cut the compressor off and put a 90 degree… gotta love vibrant performance products… i probably just spent $500 in fabrication components
3" vibrant v-band in aluminum
its all tacked and ready to go to the tig welder
spot on
time to take it to the welder
