I got this fb back in october of last year and it sat around in my garage for a couple months until I decided on what the plans were gonna be. A couple weeks ago I got in contact with a buddy of mine from PR and we decided to go 3/4 chassis.



The car as it sits just has the back half cut out now, its gonna be a chassis engineering 4 link chromoly 3/4 chassis kit running a competition engineering diamond 9 inch housing. The rear tire is still in the mix, havent figured it out because of the tranny budget.



The setup for the car is going to be a semi peripheral port 12A turbo on alcohol using an 8 injector E&J throttle body and a Borg and Warner compressor with a 1.32 hotside. The car is going to be running Microtech LT12 with MSD ignition boxes for extra juice. The power goals for the car are in the 700rwhp range hopefully running mid to low 9's.



We are currently fabricating the front suspension setup for the car which consists of stock spindles with an Aerospace spindle mount brake kit, adjustable coilover suspension with camber plates fabricated by R/V Machine Shop in Phila PA and strange engineering lower knuckles on a Moroso Pinto rack and pinion.

I'll be updating this thread hopefully with better pictures and not cellphone pictures as the car progresses. I'm hoping to have my *** in the drivers seat by next summer out at the track working the bugs out of the car.

 

Looks hot. Keep the pic coming and keep us posted!!!

 

Started making the manifold and mounted up the motor with the midplate

 

Turbo manifold is all tacked up and ready to be tigged, next is downpipe and mounting the wastegate...

 

Nice man wish all the luck with this project.

 

quedo de show el Turbo. Good LUCK

 

Wow, that manifold looks simple !

I'll be building one for my FB/S475 very soon !

 

Looked on Chassis Engineering's site and they list "sport compact" 3/4 kits. Do they have application specific kits or one generic kit you have to work at to make it fit?

 

yea i just measured the main hoop, door bars, and some other measurements they asked for when i placed the order and i got the whole 3/4 sport compact kit but i just bought the chassis itself (just the tubing) the fourlink and other stuff like wishbone etc i got from Rick Jones Racecars
