a 60 year old man is not allowed to own a car that nice.

 

true that. nice to see her all the same shade of red too. and i thought you had the garfinkle torque brace in there as well... am i missing it or is it not in?

 

Im not 60 yet! And you dont need a brace with solid motor mounts and trannie brace! But thanks any way! Manveru hows colo.? Any snow bunnies?

 

looks really nice charlie, hope to see you soon

 

Thanks Eric i wanted to get some opinions on the set up i think its a little diffrent but i like it. Im waiting to see your car run it should be an adrenilin getter!

 

thats hilarious being the first post...lol....very nice indeed..quite suprised not see a vmount on an fd?? but very nice

 

i really want a heat shield like that!

 

very nice!!

Whats the SS plumbing into the downpipe for?

Seeing this makes me want to go forward with painting my IC piping.

Very clean, bet it hauls buttski!!

 

here's another rendition of the heatshield. i used SS and have a fiberglass/aluminum backing on it and think it works great.

Great job everything is nicely placed! I like that shield for the LIM as well; can you make me one too?

I'm going down to ATP Wrap next week to take a look at getting my turbo fitted with an inconel cover. The stainless shield was useless and the blanket keeps too much heat in. I might get a cover made for the LIM as well.

 

I should still have the pattern i make it out of aluminum and use dei adhesive heat shield on the back i belive its good to 2000 deg. I had to do an inner shield to cover front lim front runner. You have to trim to fit, the car has 2500 miles since build and a few street races and a couple 10.80 runs. The ss piping is a scavenging system to pull crank case pressure from the motor at high boost. It uses a one way check valve and as the ehaust increses it pulls crank pressure and oil particals. It works but on a hard pull it will smoke like hell and scare the crap out of you! Ill probley go with catch can. On the last data log while dynoing over 400 h/p i logged a 5 deg temp rise in intake air temp. Thanks !

 

What turbo is that ?

 

Hello Busted7

I hope I don't **** any one off,

But you got one of the baddest FD I ever seen!!!


SWEET!!!!

 

Its a turbonetics 62-1 not too big but its doing ok for now! I have 18's for it but i run the m/t et's on the street as you never know when a race will break out. Thanks for the complements i need all the incouragement i can get, its still in the works and will never be done.

 

haha, yeah the bunnies are around. you just have to hunt carefully. and i guess i should crank the boost, and blow the engine so i have an excuse to go w/ the solid mounts while it's out.

i'd also like to place on order for the heat shield. or a lesson on how to trim it out. and do you still have the 10.5 ET streets? im gonna shoot for some OT pay, and try and get some more goodies for christmas. and maybe more fuel before the tune.

also, can you explain the scavenging system?

 

how did these get here?

 

sorry about the ovesized picts im terriable on the computer! Manveru ill tell you later, to hard to describe and probley not worth doing. I want the details on the fluffy bunnie tails! You can call you know! Thanks.

 

Hell yes !

Post more pictures of the phantom blown blackhalved 2nd gen !!!!

 

The ls1 turbo set up made 940 w/hp today in a 2001 vette i wonder what it would do in a secound gen? Just kidding its got to go turbo! I need to get it out of the tralior and do something!!!!!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

I think the reason nobody has made in comments on your second gen is because they don't know what the hell they're looking at !!!

 

that's 2nd gen is awsome. what kind power is it making

 

Love the heatshild, i built one for my FC last year and was amazed at the diff in temp of the LIM after even a short drive as apposed to say the strut tower or anything really in the area

 

Both cars look awesome, Charlie! I had no idea you had a second gen as well. What is the big pulley dealy to the bottom left of the charger?

I keep meaning to get a hold of you per your pm. I haven't forgotten, just busy.

 

Thats a alternator pulley oversized for high rpm! At one time i was going to drive it on the street but on methanol its about good for 5 miles. LOL I made alot of bad choices when i started building it. I would like to see it done sometime. Thanks
