Hell yeah! I just ordered all my parts to make my exhaust manifold. 16 90degree schd 10 stainless steel, and 2 feet schd10 straight stainless steel. Flanges should be on order tomorrow hopefully. and welding by the weekend if possible. :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Sick! Should be a fun year for you.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I've been talking with Shep on a transmission selection right now. I'm hoping to have a good year with the car. How's your ride comin along?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Siiick!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Transmissions are way too damn expensive, what one are you looking at getting? My car is pretty much the same as it was end of the year last year, minus a little weight.

What are you hoping to run with that beast?

Re: Progress since last year
 

He keeps telling me I should get a dog box. Those are a little to spendy for me. I'm hoping for a 9 second pass this year. I think it should be possible. I'll be upgrading the rear axles. I'm also looking for a nice set of sticky tires.

Re: Progress since last year
 

That a lot of money for a dog box. Ever think about going auto if you're going to spend that much?

How much power do you think you're going to make?

Good luck on the 9second pass! Hope you can get it this year.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah, I have thought a lot about going auto, and eventually I might end up doing it. I'm going to get it to 800awhp and see what that will land me et wise. I'm thinking that should be a good power level to acheive my goal. Along with Some broken parts I'm sure lol.

Re: Progress since last year
 

800awhp? gad damn!

Re: Progress since last year
 

YESIR! :) I don't see anything holding me back from that number. Of course that will be on E98 ;) 650hp on e85 is were I'll stop on that stuff.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Fuck you need to come and play down here then.
That is awesome power I would like a ride when its done. Now everyone seems to think when I want to ride I just want to go fast and of course I want to, but I want to see how these things drive.
I went for a ride in Hill's car last year and he just wanted to do pulls and I just wanted to see how quiet and comfy it was, lol.

Hey maybe I will get to see your car during the day this year?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah, I'll for sure give ya a ride!! What all do you want to experience? Yeah, during the day would be nice!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

I just want to see how it is to daily these things driving around like normal and maybe stepping into it on a street roll that isn't a set 40 or 70 roll.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Damn that thing is going to move out. 800 on just boost?

I wanna see it run!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Oh yeah, I can certainly give you a ride! When will ya be back??


Yeah, on just boost alone.

Re: Progress since last year
 

may 4th is my graduation date. You will have to stop by I'm sure I will end up having peopl over as usual.

Why the 650whp limit on E85?

Some DSMers just posted up 10.7 and 10.8 on 3 diff stock block cars running 6262 turbos @30psi

Re: Progress since last year
 

I will stop by for sure! Idk just worried I'll be over doing it for e85 above 650hp possibly. I mean I know my knock sensor will be a good safty feature but, I don't want to over do it. I guess we will see what I can get out of e85 hp wise before I add the e98 to it.

Re: Progress since last year
 

uhoh!! My fuel pump, exhaust head flange from sls, and T4 flage showed up today!! Time to put the exhaust manifold together!!! :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

That manifold going together little essay style?

Re: Progress since last year
 

He said he would build me a collector :) I'm going to do the rest of it. Top mount FTW!! ;)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Some pictures of the new pump ;)

Little crappy qulity pic but 170gph/640LPH should get the job done!

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...uelpump004.jpg

Re: Progress since last year
 

Curious, what did that pump cost? Sounds like we have the same amount of pumpage!

Re: Progress since last year
 

That's a lot of pumpage!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Wow, that should move some serious fuel!

Re: Progress since last year
 

I wont share my cost lol but heres what it retails for :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Kevin, we can talk in private if you perfer ;) Does this require a voltage regulator, like the aeromotive pumps?

Re: Progress since last year
 

No, it has a high/low speed opperation built into the pump. So, there are 3 wires to hook up. Power, ground, and a resistor type deal.

Re: Progress since last year
 

aah, cool cool. Seems like it's cheaper alternative then the aeromotives, but not as cheap as 2 wally's ;)

Re: Progress since last year
 

This pump will outperform two wallies ;) and it will be more efficient to (no T fittings or Y fittings to deal with).

Re: Progress since last year
 

Nice, looks like you are gearing up for the season.

Kevin = performance, swifty = price. lol

Swift you already have pumps so you don't need to worry.

Kevin won't you have to make some kind of sump now?

Re: Progress since last year
 

lol, I chose performance AND price.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I will be welding a bulk head fitting into the stock fuel tank. :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

I'll be starting the exhaust manifold fab this week. The tubing that I'll bought showed up today!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Here is a little update.
The collector is all done and for the most part mocked up to where I might put it. I've gotta do some more measuring to make sure that is where I want it. Here are the pictures of the work! Boodram at MAP made the collector for me. I helped hold a few things on the collector. I'll be doing the rest of the manifold. Picture quality is a little low all of the pictures are from my iphone :(

This is on the Mock up engine at the shop

This took forever to do but I polished all the pipes before welding so, the manifold looks really nice when done!

Re: Progress since last year
 

That manifold is gonna look bad ass.

Re: Progress since last year
 

excellent weld too mang...i'm not that good with a welder, but i know enough to appreciate a clean weld...can't wait for more pics

Re: Progress since last year
 

My brother can weld fucking badass. Bitch did my old O2 housing left handed!! (he is a righty).

Back OT, so manifold and pump install and you are ready to go? maybe DP and dump tube too i guess.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah, he is a awesome welder!! I'm using my old dp. Just dump tube's, and also fuel lines, filters, and fittings. Then it's ready for big power.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I changed my mind on the bottom mount and am now building a top mount. Got the turbo placed. Pipe fitting has begun.

In car fitment test before I started making the manifold.
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...mounted001.jpg

I moved the turbo a little more to the left and a little higher since the last pic was taken. I'm hoping to have the manifold done this week coming up.
