Streetport/T66 Q trim /E6K/16x12w 13" Goodyear slicks S/B about 450+rwhp@25psi, made 355@15PSI, that is well outside of the efficiency range for this turbo.

again, the first pic exagerates the wing a bit, but at 140+ the wing is a nice accent;)

Mechanically the car is close, but not done, I am rebuilding the diff, and waiting on some Chrome molly axles. Also the final tune S/B in a a couple weeks so I can stop guessing. The car is for road race, not for 1420, but ~2450lbs ~400-450rwhp, 13" slicks, you tell me ;)

I'll post the engine bay pics when the site lets me, it is kind of finicky that way ;)

who did the work on that hood?

Carl Byck 09-12-04 06:44 PM

The hood was concieved by me(actual scoop was stolen from the 3rd gen MazdaSpeed hood), made/molded by AtiHun Racing, and finished by Alan Sensier of Spoon Sports/Opak Racing. Actually now that it is painted we see some more problems with it that we will be fixing. The hood has 4-6 hours in it after it came off the mold, filling, and sanding. When we first saw it we thought it was near perfect, but when the bottom, and top were glued up, some peaks and valleys formed that were not visible in the white gel coat. Only after hours of priming, and block sanding did the problems show. I would say 98% of people would have considered it near perfect out of the box.

Looks nice. I like the wing and the very Japanese look of the car... Until I see the rims! For me, they're a let down, and really not my cup of tea! They don't really blend with the car too well. That's my opinion though.

Other than that, it's tip top!! I love the colour.

RX-Heven 09-12-04 07:16 PM

The car looks good Carl. Did you paint it in your gararge? Was hoping to see it down at 7stock. Mark told me you just finnished the day of. Oh well.
So when is the track eta and where?

Also, where did you locate chrome-moly axles? I am definately interested in some of those also.

Carl Byck 09-12-04 07:25 PM

Painted in the garage, yes...Need to do a final tune,rebuild the differential etc, so October for the track, my Big Single 97 Supra project(700rwhp or bust) begins Wednesday, No rest for the wicked;). I finished to the point you see at 5AM on saturday. I pulled three (3) straight all nighters(7 hours sleep in 3 days to finish it. I decided to sleep rather than drive 8 hours twice. I was tired, I slept 23 hours since 5am Saturday, so good I did not go. sorry I missed it though. I am now a NASA instuctor, I will probably not hit the track til after I finish the Supra around the second week of October for Supras Invade Las Vegas. I am still contemplating a Small AR GT40R instead of the T66. Did you ever discover what happened at Infineon?

I agree on the wheels, I will eventually run SSR SP1 Professors. These were the only light 16x12s I could afford. The 16x12s weigh 14lbs, and this is a race car. I will run 17x12(335) Rear, 17x11(315)front with Kumho V710 R compounds for the occasional street foray, and shows/meets. At nearly 4 grand for wheels,and tires that will have to wait as I am begining a single turbo conversion on my 97 Supra at the moment. Carl

Dude that car is awsome. The wing goes very well with such a car. With the power your putting out id say its very functional.
That is exactly what im trying to accomplish with my FC. I want it to be a track beast.
How did you manage a 2400 lbs? I though those wide body kits added wieght.
Also how long have you been working on your car to get it to its current setup?

RotaryBuddha 09-12-04 08:18 PM

that car is pure sex.

Wankels-Revenge 09-12-04 08:25 PM

That car is incredible. I like the way the wing fits in too. Very nice job...i think u have the nicest fc i've ever seen in my life. Much respect!
