Next FC project start..
The black FC is pretty much mechanically done, except for fixing the dogmission which will come pretty soon..I think its reached its limits, bridgeported T51 is probably enough at this point..
Its time to spend a little time and money on my lowly grey GX beater which I have driven pretty hard over the last 3 years or so..
The engine is a little tired, I snapped a few pics of the start of the build for the new motor..Just a basic N/a motor build up... As it progresses I will add to the thread as the parts arrive..

Got the housings back from the machinist today, Spent the evening pressing in the tubes and doing a little more epoxy'ing..
Tomorrow night I will start building the stack, got all the seals fitted to the rotors..
Next decision is what ems to run it with... I am thinking FCON V pro at this point..Max

Can anyone say 350WHP?
Hey Max, how does one go about aquiring PP housings? Where did you get yours made? How would someone like me go about doing that?
I ask on behalf of anyone here that doesnt know how because PP is a little out of my league.

You know you totally stole my thunder? 
This winter I was going to post an "I was bored so I built an engine" thread which details the assembly of my 12A NA PP engine....Damn it.
That's very nice work. What the heck did you use to fill the side intake ports?

What is the expectation when you're done, max? Do you know what you can expect in terms of HP? I assume it's going to be a fairly peaky (and noisy) engine, isn't it? Will it be something suitable for driving on the street, or will it be a track car?

I am lucky enough to know a machinist who puts up with my sometimes idiotic plans....

.....and 345 mpg...I have seen a similar engine make 340+hp, however the gentleman that tuned that engine with a motec ecu, has about 15 years more experience under his belt than I.. I would love 300 rwhp, I will be happy with 250-275 tied to the GX with weight reduction down to the 2200-2300 lb range , should make for one fun car... I have never played with this kind of build before, so there will be some changing of headers and intake lengths before I get the combination right and making decent power... Once I am happy with the all-motor tune, I am planning to hit it with a 100- shot of N20 to just for kicks.. This car is my winter beater, its gonna have to be streetable...As long as it starts , its streetable IMHO..
