hey! im working on putting a setup like yours in my car... ive got a 13b 4-port, bridgeported, holley 650, msd ignition, header to a 3' pipe, and other stuff. tell me more about how it runs!!! i cant wait to get mine done and running. post a pic of your engine bay.

 

it idles like a beast, kinda rough at about 1500 RPM. moderate power till about 4000, but above that, all i can say is HOLD ON! (make sure the carb is jetted to the weather, or it will run like C-R-A-P) she also takes about 15 minutes to get up to temp at 60F, but that may be due to the massive oil cooler. i also put 12 oz of oil per 10 gallons of gas into the tank. i also have 3.90 gears in the rear, to hold out the gears longer with the spray at the track. all this and i still get 10 MPG city. i like this setup...ALOT!
-i'll post pics of the engine bay next time im over my buddies house (who so kindly gave up his heated garage to my car)

let me know if you want to know any more.

 

anything at this point in time is better than the blue you got on that car now...I would suggest candy apple red with metal flec to give it a wicked shimmer when the sun hits it...or this really wicked green that I want to paint my car but can't tell anyone till I got it painted...its my green...

 

I saw WRX/STI Blue would be perfect.

 

im leaning heavily towards a deep candy blue with moderate flake. i want at least some blue to go with the interior. should set the car off nice, eh?

 

NICE,NICE, I LIKE IT!!!!!!!
Some questions?? What apex seals,full or half brige,SPRAYBAR or PORT INJECTION?
jet sizes if possible?

NICE RIDE

 

im soo excited!!!! ive been working on my car since summer, and im soo close to being ready to putting the engine in! probably within the next few weeks!! the more i hear the more i get excited! im not doing nos so im lookin at a gsl-se rear end. i beleive its 4:20 gear ratio. (that or 4:10) either way, do you know what kind of 1/4 mile times you would run without the nos? im looking for low 13s at least.

erick

 

thanks for the comliments. im running 3mm apex seals, full bridgeport, square bore plate nitrous injection (standard for holley carbs). did you want the carb jet sizes?

 

this is going to be the longest few weeks of your life! i'd say with the way my engine is built, and with those rear end gears...im pulling 13.8 w/o spray with 3.90s, i'd pull mid 13s at least. but im not the best at the tree. run a softer rear suspention to "squat" the rear end at launch...it'll help alot with tire spin.

 

No not carb jet sizes,nos sizes if possible?I am almost done with my weber set up,just need some spares for nos system and then want to test it!My sizes is 1mm for feul and the nos side is0.85mm,but feul pressure is set at 1bar(14psi).I am running a port injection system!

 

im not sure of the jet size, but i'll ask my rotary guy-who-seems-to-know-everything about what he would suggest. is it a weber side draft setup?

 

No its a 48 IDA set up

 

its 2 coats of taillight paint. runs about $8 a can.

 

just talked to my guy. it depends on how the rest of your engine is set up and tuned. he says more important is the ignition timing. run your leading plugs at 25 - 30 degrees and disconnect your trailing coil. thats what worked for him. what power shot are you running?

 

Sweet. Not to sound demanding but could I see how they look lit up at night? GREATLY APPRECIATED

 

im kinda interested myself...its a summer car, and in alaska it doesnt get dark during the summer...i'll have pics for you this weekend.

 

Sweet thanks. Would you happen to know where I could get taillight paint? I didn't see it online for 8$. It was like $30

 

ITs a 75-80hp shot,why disconnect the trailing side?.Timing now on engine is 20-22 deg leading and 12-13deg trail!

 

i'll find out for ya.

 

i dont know, but i think its to prevent early detonation when the juice is hit. thats what he did for the 75 shot. im just starting out with the nitrous, and he knows a whole lot more than i do.

 

Thanks for replies,Old Skool

 

Yep. Great appreciated

 

Hey Old Skool, you get those pics and where to get the tailight paint?
