just seeing your side exit exhaust makes me want to get one so bad.....

 

looks good

 

Its going to look pretty rad regardless. Curious, the plate that will be welded to the bottom of the trumpet, is that CNC'd?

The entry to the trumpet looks like sheet metal, is it?

 

are you talking about the square plate that bolts to the tb? if so it is waterjet cut. the radius on the stack is actually a short stack that I cut and welded to the 90deg tube.

Hello ,this is one of the best full race FD builds I have seen in a looooong time,I have been following the thread. Much props to you & CLR, Im originally from cutler ridge & used to buy parts form CLR back in the day!!!!

Again much props the car is siiiick!!!

 

We took some time off, but we're back at it again here's a few pics of the intake setup in the car












Our next step is to build the airbox, I'll post pics of that next week hopefully.

BigAl...

 

what throttle bodies are those? And whats your plan to attach them?

 

goto page 5 post #106 for details on where to buy them. As far as linkage originally I was going to use the linkage that came with them and extend it but now I'm going try something different, I'll be posting pix on the linkage this week.

BigAl...

 

I like the name tag on the exhaust mani haha. Keep posting this is fun to see go along.

 

what size are they? I also notice only one injector per body. Are you planning on only running 3 injectors?

 

the bore size is 54mm and yes I will be using one injector per rotor, a single 1000cc injector will be more than enough.

very nice progress!

 

looking good, cant wait to see it finished!

 

Amazing project! Dreams do come true

 

Holy! O_O

 

Guys, thanks for the kind words, it's alot of hard work, Rob and I have alot of hours into this thing!

Well, Rob and I did a bunch of work, I fabbed the throttle linkage, after spending about two hours on the McMaster Carr website I received all the parts necessary for the linkage. I decided to go "old school" with the linkage, it reminds me of my old dual mikuni setup I used to have. We also finished the air box with the filter and the cowl induction setup.












here you start to see the box and cowl induction






















this should keep you guys busy for awhile

 

digging the setup, I remember seeing the speedsource guys having their intake setup the same way with the air being drawn in from rear of the hood. Great idea, love the build.

 

Cowl Induction... NICE! Great project man!

Al,
great built up.
I enjoy looking at least twice once a month to see how this is going.

what you and Rob are doing is great.
keep on posting.

che.

 

I really like the intake box - cool idea

 

I hope you guys didn't think Rob and I had given up on this project! It's been a while since I posted any updates, both of us have been really busy with school, so time to work on the racecar has been slim. Below is our latest, we finally installed the Petit flares and of course we had tub the stock rear fenders. We cut the fenders as high as the fender wells and then came across with sheet metal.



here you see how high we cut






this angle shows the sheet metal we added

Looking fantastic dude. Loving the fabrication work involved.

 

what size rear tires are you going to be fitting?

 

thanks for the kind words fellas

as far as tire size, I'm not sure just yet. but somewhere in the neighborhood of 335 to 345, budget will definitely have some influence on tire size.

BigAl...

 

I'd love to know what your experiences are with that size of tire. I am also looking to fit 345s, but it wont be for many months.
