Sorry if I missed it but are you running leading only? I was considering this but didn't want to put two unused plugs in there...would look kind of tacky

 

it still uses all 4 plugs and will be using a Dynatek ARC2 to control the system as well as for the 2 step.

 

man, I wish I had the mone to have you rebuild my engine.. This is top quality stuff

 

unless you go all out the prices are as reasonable as one can expect. if you have a good working core that is, even without i don't charge a god awful amount for parts like some shops do.

 

the old clutch was slipping so he picked up an ACT 6 puck sprung to plant the power. mounted to the XACT prolite chromoly 9.8lb flywheel.

 

pretty =)

 

 

 

Looking great! I like the Prolite flywheel.

Solid alminum motor mounts, eh?

 

I may have missed it... but who upgraded the turbo? And that manifold... looks solid for EBAY and is especially nice considering it "fits" like stock.
I am intrigued.

 

Bryan at BNR built the turbo a number of years ago and he added every option to it that Bryan could offer.

the manifold i believe was an old SSautochrome or equivalent when they still made the S4 flanged stock-ish replacement. i had the same manifold for some time but it eventually started to crack after about 4-5 years.

 

I was curious about the turbo because I am going to send mine off to BNR this winter and the one you have on the motor looked stock but upgraded. The manifold I was also curious about because I saw the S4 flange. Not something we see often aside from stock. I already have a stock S4 manifold (not cracked!) and I am *gasp* going to run the functioning twin scroll I have.

 

i'm sure you can still find the manifolds but i haven't seen them around with any regularity for a number of years.

 

why such a small turbo for a full bridged motor?

 

it does look small but this turbo actually has the potential for 400-425wheel horsepower. the bridge will likely overrun it though and it will possibly be shortlived. it is only on there temporarily anyways until the larger turbo replaces it. next step he is shooting for close to 600whp which was another reason for the pinning even if the iron did hold up.

the response is actually quite amazing with the 9.4:1 rotors considering the ceiling it can push to, responds better than stock twins sequentially and the setup should push more power and longer.

 

oh lol I hope to be there too someday, I had the same turbo and my lrg srt port had it maxd out pretty early

 

every setup is slightly different but i can only guess any possible reasons why it ran out of breath. during tuning i never really felt this turbo falling flat yet at a lower target boost level but the dyno tells all so we will see what happens with the car, engine, turbo and numbers.

this setup has a true greddy FMIC, full true 3" exhaust, stage 4 hybrid with all the bells and whistles, devil's own AI with 50/50 meth/water, full bridged/pinned/2mm OEM seal/9.4:1CR engine, microtech LT10s with wideband option, 720/1600 injectors, modified supra TT fuel pump, kenney belle boosta pump supercharging the already modded pump and dynatek ARC2 ignition. the IC also has a sprayer to cool it between passes.

 

and MSD coils, and aeromotive FPR... hehe

oh yeah, ben, Kenne Bell... just making fun of your spelling lol

oh and Ben, what is that rusty *** bar holding the hood up? dont you remember the adjustable hood prop behind the driver seat?

 

forgot about the bar, this is just the one i use for cars with no hood prop.

 

Looks good ! interested in seeing another FBP make some power.

 

should be ready for some good numbers by late spring or early summer

 

ignition upgrades:

 

Which MSD coils are those?

 

blaster GM HEI units

 

Where/how you gonna mount them bad boys?
