Can't wait to see it man!!!

car looked great today John!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

This is just me being a little over critical about the manifold but don't you want the injectors pointing more at the intake valve instead of the angle that they are at?

I love the tube frame that you made!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

the main reasons you want the injector to point right at the valve is for emissions and a low idle rpm and idle quality. The 160lb/hr injectors are the secondarys, which will only be used when needed, so idle and low rpm/vacuum the engine should run off a fairly small primary injector in the stock location. The farther up stream you place your injector, either a primary or secondary the more power the engine will make. I found testing where a 1000 horse power engine gained around 50 hp from moving the injectors 14" up stream from the valve, I think they said they started at 7". But the engine had to idle at 1700rpm. The reason I found for the more power is the fuel takes heat out of the incoming air, thus its more dense and the engine makes more power. Also they did not find injector angle to be much of a factor but anything from perpendicular to 45deg to the incoming air was good, anything more then 45 either did not change or hurt power. As far as the injectors angling in there is not enough room on the runner to have them next to each other, and I did not want a fuel starving issue, so the angle makes the space from 1 injector to the next about the same.

I put the rolling chassis up on the scales last night. 1720lbs, If I am around 2500lbs race weight with driver I will be happy.

:scared:

That is light!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

hooly shiiiiit!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

WTF 1720?

Whats left thats major weight to go back in? you are crazy.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

That's insanely light, jeez. I don't feel like doing math, but I can imagine the power to weight is gonna be nuts.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

The engine. lol

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

The list of things to go back on the car is a little long but off the top of my head:
Engine, tranny, front drive shafts, transfer case, clutch, flywheel, intake and exhaust manifolds, BOV, waste gates, turbo, water to air intercooler, heat exchanger, water pump and lines, radiator, radiator fans, fuel pump, battery and battery box, alternator, front and rear bumper covers, head lights, fabricated dash and gauges, AEM EMS, MSD ignition, custom wiring harness, exhaust.

The last time the car ran it was 2800lbs with me in it, so the dyno day at DB that is what it weighed.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I will run the 4 bolt at first, and have a few axels on hand to swap in as needed. Then I will look at drive shaft shop stage 5 rear axels vs a solid rear axel/4 link setup the main hold back with the stock rear end is if the axel does not break the ring and pinion are next. Then when the rear end does not break the transfer case and front axels become the problem. The goal is to make the car as light as possible, make as little torque as possible, and no wheel hop what so ever, if all this happens the drive train might hold up for more then 1 pass.

ps Kevin I missed your post somehow.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

It's all good. I thought you might have, so I decided to bump it up again. Sounds like a pretty good plan.

I am working on the 4 slide tube mounts right now, the aluminum strips are just to hold the fenders at the right distance apart. The hood will either have 4 pins for easy removal or be mounted to the removable front end. I will drill holes threw the slide connection and add pins, the 2 up by the windshield will be removed from the top just behind the hood. And the lower 2 will be removed from under the front bumper cover.

The bigger long tube is welded to the chassis, then there is a tube that slides in, and is welded to the fender.

The removable front end will be mounted to a frame that will slide into the lower slide tube mounts.

I am also spending some time here and there to produce a few of these R.E.E.F SMIM for the 1g DSM.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

looking really good

I will have to pick up a mani for the hatch some time

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

How much do you plan on charging for those Manis?

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

The price is a little more then a JMF. I will be out in the garage tonight to work more on the front end.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I was out of town 2 weeks ago, and did not have time to head down to discount steel until this saturday. So here is the start of the frame work for the removable front end.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Why square bar, and not round stock? Didn't you have the roundstock for that lower bar before?
