[GTR Fever]

[Ted_v2]

[fass4drs]

Was thinking some subie scoop or even a 2nd gen rx scoop may have cleared the carb/filter .

[GTR Fever]

na it's a much much bigger cut than that..you'll see the finished product soon

and the carb is gonna be raised even more in the near future..few additions

[red_dragon]

I smell supercharger

[VexXx Dogg]

There you go guys!

[525isport]

NICE

[GTR Fever]

Sounds crazy in person

Currently the exhaust system is 2.5" on each side which joins in a Y behind the transmission to a 3.5" double resonated exhaust..too quiet and doesn't sound like a V8 grumble (actually sounds like a ported rotary!)

to get the screen shot to appear here copy the url then click the youtube icon above here^ then paste the url in the space between the [ and ] but you have to only paste the actual code...that would be after the = sign and before the &feature

so then it would appear like this :



not to worry though, i'll be making some cool vids when we're done...but that single barrels gotta go dude...YUK! My ears!

They beggin for flowmasters...like this>

[GTR Fever]

Did it on my phone, sorry

Those super 44's sound awesome!!!

[fass4drs]

Engine seems to move quite a bit .additional bracing planned ?

[GTR Fever]

Yup, already in the cards...stiffer mounts

[VexXx Dogg]

Sounds healthy but muted, some flowmasters or magnaflows would be fricking awesome.
Gonna charge it? I love that supercharger whine.

Engine moving like hell too, mounts and additional bracing needed?

[GTR Fever]

Yeah it's very muted right now thanks to the exhaust system..to supercharge this current engine will be difficult due to high comp pistons and current cams but we'll see how the power feels and go from there

Mounts are good, engine just has alot of damn power! But yes, Urethane mounts and additional bracing are in the very near future.

[VexXx Dogg]

What sorta hp/tq figures we talking about in current form?

[moti]

Looks like more than enough to make this a very fun drift car.

And from the looks of it, not much actually needed to have it ready for daily love.

[GTR Fever]

Estimated at 450-500hp comfortably..will consider hitting the dyno after I get it done right.

With a few more items it will be ready for daily/ street use. After some experience behind the wheel I might tackle a drag n' wind course soon.

Have a power goal in mind for street use, pretty close to it so we will see how it goes. Need to get it streetable first before I start building power.

[red_dragon]

Yup, already in the cards...stiffer mounts

remember with stiffer mounts the chassis will be taking the hit

[moti]

Chassis bracing?

[GTR Fever]

Already has chassis bracing but will add more.

The engine mounting setup on the subframe will be strengthened the most and will use stiffer mounts, not solid.

[roadracer7]

Hmmmm... well let me see....hmmm

[V8 Boys]

^ listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about.

Those upgrades will put your car in a whole nuther category.

[GTR Fever]

Weight shedding will be handled once I'm happy with the V8 overall.

Just want it drive able first and all upgrades will follow.

[Miatabrah]

No chance of getting an LS motor?
You can save 100lb easy and have better driveability and fuel efficiency
