"The Rebound"
 

so I guess this has been long overdue but i thought i'd make some updates on the #newtomefc..

I picked this thing up hoping to throw a tune on it and be back on the track with an FC chassis... unfortunately that wasn't the case at all...

went to the dyno about a year ago to tune the car and found all sorts of problems... so decided to rebuild the whole front end of the car...

Attachment 684283

made a new manifold. along with working with Borg Warner to try some differ turbo setups...

also made this screamer exhaust..

took it to the dyno and made 406whp @18psi... just in time for asb this past year...

where i found more problems with this thing... so decided to redo the fuel system with -8 lines, new lines, seals etc... thought i had everything sorted and went back to the dyno where we made 440whp at only 15psi.. but we were running out of fuel so we couldn't push it any further... so the 4000cc worth of injectors didn't seem to be enough.. time for some id2000's i guess.. when i'm at the dyno i shut the car off after one of the 440whp runs.. go to start it a couple minutes later and it won't fire up.. f' with it for awhile and decide to try and bump start it... it bump starts and is running fine.. take it down the street and it RIPS! shut it off and it won't fire again... WTF! mess with a bunch of stuff and can't figure it out... tow it back to my shop and think about what could be the issue.. finally decided to compression test it...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...ps43d2f627.jpg

alright so compression is low across the board??? time to tear it apart and see what's up with it.. get it broken down and find a broken corner seal and ALL the apex seals are WARPED???? do some research and i guess it's common for super seals to warp under heavy pressure.. also after tearing it apart find that there's some issue with the ports so i take the motor down to Kyle Mohan to get re-ported and lapped...

got everything back along with some id2000's from him and i'll be putting the motor back together in the next couple weeks.. should rip real hard with the new porting and proper seals... can't wait!

on to some other issues... looks..

so i'm pretty over having a blue car... time for some Hot Line action... need to correct this first off..
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...86704093_n.jpg

too much poke.. so i'll be throwing on some Hot Line 60mm rear to tuck these 18x12's with proper alignment specs..

oh... also will have some of these for the front soon... proper 45mm foresight style ventless... not the garbage ones i had someone working on about a year ago.. decided to scrap them and get some real foresight 45's to start with... molds are made and we'll be popping them as soon as my guy gets some time in between his other projects... wheels are 18x9.5+12.. plenty of room for proper offset and alignment settings.

these are shaped perfectly to match my rears which are more aggressive than anything else out there..

here's the rears on Chris Forsberg's FC... 18x11 -32

Hot Damn!!!

schwoooo

I'm real excited about this.

loving it so far. what BW turbo did you end up running?

So here's the deal. As a collective body, we won't be happy unless you're making atleast 700 to the wheels. That is all.

special blend divided t4 s300 series.. tried a 1.00, .91 and .83 exhaust side.. the .83 was definitely the one... boost came in way earlier and hit HARD! it gave me good memories of the green car... :)

well i'll tell u now you're gonna be disappointed... i have plans to only run about 460-470 tops.... and trying to keep boost to around 15-16psi.. i'm sure i could push well over 500whp with around 18-20psi but at that point i'd have to deal with drive train failures that i don't have money for at this point... although it does have drive shaft shop axles and i'll be putting in an os giken 1.5 super lock diff as well. it currently has a kaaz 1.5.
i don't want to have to put in a dog box or stronger trans cuz i'm trying to keep this car "streetable" :nod:

Just make it do sideways smokie stuff.

A lot.

i wanna see some videos of this car

there's plans for that.. alot.. this year.

Sideways smokie stuff on the street?

Shit looks dope as always are you trying to hit up all the just drift events?? I got to swing by the new shop dude maybe we can throw a BBQ with that green oinon lol...

...Aaaaaand.... Yes. This is enjoyable.

looking good justin:) im excited for the hotline fenders. im friends with your cousin and fam in roseburg. this is my t2. http://imageshack.us/a/img809/106/001nim.jpg

keep up the good work. and please p.m. me with pricing for your fenders.

thanks,
Anthony.

probably not, considering I do have to think about being a sponsored driver and those type of actions could lead to that not continuing... however I'm trying to work on some type of "closed course" street stuff.. it just depends on if i can get the funding for it..

thanks dude.. I'm hoping to bring it to the JustDrift events so I can display the lines we'll be looking for in the competitions..

thanks man, I'll be posting pricing as soon as we're ready for distribution..

Vvvv

OH SNAP!!! Wait, I was there when dude was working on those front fenders! OH SNAP!HA, HA,LOL!

18x12 :0 Curious to see how they sit with the the new fenders.

That's true : ( downsides to being big and famous. Closed course stuff would be awesome though!

Sick man are you planning on keeping the same color theme this year blue with green or are you ganna switch it up new year new look??

it'll be flush... no mexi-flush!

i don't know about being all big and famous.. but i have trying to keep my dream job and make sure i can provide for my family...


you'll just have to wait and see!!!

Fresh.

Way dope!

subscribin' hard. this build gets better and better!

Hey car looks great.

I had a quick question. I have always been told that the BOV goes on the cold side of the intercooler (which I have done on my cars) and I see you have yours on the hot side. Is that better or does it really not make a difference?

it's actually better to have it closer to the turbo as it relieves the pressure in the intake and helps turbo surge.

Super subscribed! So stoked to see JTP back in the fc game, looking forward to video footage haha.

Yupp definitely gonna keep an eye on this project!.. Btw in your profile pic, are you towing your car with a tow bar?.. Where is it mounted to, I wanna make one for my car if its possible..

Damn, and this is the engine you ran at ASB this last year???

I need an new RC body for mine, where'd you pick that one up at?

Sweet FC. This car or your FD mustang?? I can't decide which is best:

yeah, it's amazing it lasted thru the event.. i was fighting it the whole time..

I think RCMart.com

they both have their own use... the mustang is definitely a competition beast.. and I hope to have the FC a street KILLA!

Hopefully this year will be yours, just need to stop that monster daigo getting favoured by the judges. What power is the mustang at? Just read in hot rod magazine that JRs is putting down 950+ HP!!, surely yours is somewhere near that?

Hopefully make it out to the states sometime in the future to see FD live rather than on the web.

Have you not fancied trying an EFR turbo??

both the mustangs make around 950 at the crank and about 850 to the tires..

I've talk to Borg Warner about running the EFR turbo on a future project.. but I'm gonna keep it OG with the FC.. I've definitely looking forward to running one in the future though!

its nice to see you come back around here. i know that a lot of fans started to question things. youve always been a huge part of the rotary and drifting community and cant wait to see the 2013 season

I don't think I really went anywhere.. although I've definitely been laying low for some time now... It was hard dealing with the loss of the green car and wanting to stay active in the community... I think I've come to terms with it and feel like its time to make some more FC goodness... so yeah.. I guess it's good to be back.

I love you jtp <3

here's those pics of the flat tow setup..

^thanks bro!... I see how yours is hooked up. I run a greddy fmic so I would def have to make a bash bar!...

love it dude!!

More info on this BW setup. Car looks amazing. Love the fab work.

Im surprised no one has asked , But this is the first time ive ever heard of RA seals warping? I thought those things were supposed to be industructable? I was planning on using them in my rebuild?

if you do some searching it's rather common...

hi Justin!

I'm getting married soon so no topdrift :( at least the first half of the season.
let's catch up soon; power / susp is long long overdue on my car.
