- David's car at the memorial meet
- Calico Coatings LIM/UIM/TB
- CJ Motorsports dual pump assembly w/ dual Bosch 044's and Speedflow check valves
- Meziere Enterprises radiator with electric water pump

As you can see, I have a fuel set up capable of a million horsepower. Six each of Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors machined to a Sard fuel rail courtesy of Xcessive Manufacturing and Natedog Creations.

What I am going for is to have the exterior be bone stock; wheels and all. The only give away that this car is modded is the GReddy titanium exhaust and my Advan A048 tires.

Up next is the wire up everything and fab the radiator/electric water pump combo with the GReddy intercooler. Once completed, it will need a tune for E85. Anyone know of a good rotary tuner in the Philadelphia area?

SO many updates... I do not even know where to start.

I have been fairly busy with life, but my Batmobile seems to have come together within everything that has taken place. I ordered a MoTeC M2R from ShaneT over at FAST Motorsports. When I first went to him, I did not even really know who I was dealing with. As I understand, he is one of three MoTeC Certified tuners in the world. Furthermore, he tunes quite a few of the automobiles you see on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Once I discovered his expertise, and everything that he suggested, I went with. His is an amazing man and went to bat for me in trying to find me a suitable ignition setup. I want to extend a personal thanks to him. For more information his website is listed below:

http://www.fastmotorsports.com/

Next up, is the modular wire harness I purchased from Greg over at GP Motorsports. Greg and Shane have a close professional relationship and so going through Greg was an obvious choice. To say that the craftsmanship on this is impeccable, is an understatement. Personally, I work around aircraft all day in the military and have never seen anything of this aircraft grade. More information about his modular wire harness can be found here:

http://wiredbyg.com/product_module.html

I also want to thank Aaron over at Yaw Power. Without his guidance and our numerous PM's back and forth, I personally do not know where I would be. And just one more thing, I went through him to complete my ignition set-up. These are Bosch P35 ignition coils that are milled down and modified to fit spark plug wires. Please see picture for reference.

Finally, I would like to thank my co-workers who shall remain anonymous. Their selfless dedication for a case of beer to make prototype parts from aircraft scrap metal has been a real blessing.

For everyones hard work mentioned above, my Batmobile thanks you

It does not have all the emissions crap underneath of it that provides for a smoother flow for the air rather then bolting up block-off plates. I forget what the technical term for what they are called. Hopefully Japan2LA can better explain it.

Glad to help and to see everything coming together!

I just installed the same coils on my car, and it feels SO much better compared to the LS truck coils I had on there. It feels almost like I balanced the motor, much, much smoother..

The Batmobile currently sitting in Sir Gordon's garage with the new V-Mount and EWP. Ultra low mount alternator relocation bracket going in next for the Powermaster alternator. Then everything all wired up at R/T Tuning. Then finally heading over to LIP Collision for a the whole frame to be just perfect! So far everything on the outside is all stock, down to the wheels. The only give away that it is modified is the Advan A048 tires and the Greddy titanium exhaust.

And stand by for an uncrackable carbonfiber mono powerplant frame/ differential cradle just in time for the Carlisi Meet. Looks like my knowledge of helicopter blades will come into good use

I don't mean to pry, but I've been following the UGR TTG build threads on another forum and they use the motec gold boxes as well. They cost roughly 15k, I'm just wondering if that's roughly what you paid?

Please take note of the 50's Mercury in the first picture to the left!

Here is an update:

Powermaster alternator lowered and located near the turbo to lower the center of gravity. Mezier Enterprises radiator with water pump and all kinds of other goodies. Currently she is getting her MoTeC M2R wired up. Then possibly off to get the frame straightened, a MoTeC PDM30 wired up to clean up a lot of things and a Tilton pedal assembly to clean up the rest. Once I get that done, then I will be Zeal Function-A coilovers with Nagisa Auto everything.

Currently just waiting for Advan Model F5's to come out...

just re-read some posts and thought i should add this (hope you dont mind).. i had to switch to the jdm LIM since my 4" dp was hitting the USDM LIM. but since it such a tight fit i didnt have room to add a heat shield so i grinded it down... which turned into me grinding it all down completely eliminating the use of block off plates and then i just welded the rectangular open on the bottom of the LIM shut..

Ben... I can't wait to see all the new PINK in August!

ohhh, its going to be a partyyyyyyyyy

Well, the JDM LIM and the USDM LIM are the same from what I believe. However, the JDM UIM and USDM UIM are very different. I attached a picture, along with the Xcessive Manufacturing LIM and a stripped throttle body for reference. Take notice that there are NO emissions on the UIM whatsoever.

Also, I really need to give credit to Natedog Creations in Hatfield, PA for all of the fabrication he has done. His craftsmanship is awesome and the work on the pictures attached really speak for themselves.

The MoTeC 880 can fetch near that price range if you go all out with every option and have them make a custom wire harness as well. If you are interested in a MoTeC M2R, it is more affordable than what most think. To get a better understanding, look at the links below:
