Just thought I would start my own thread of the winter build up.

Custom Pistons and wrist pins


Custom length Rods



JM Fab Torque Plate

New SMIM with second fuel rail
Easily the best made SMIC I have ever seen, constuctionis second to none.



Internal velocity stacks



2000Hp Weldon Pump and filters

Looks like a good start. Is that was the "street" or "race" SMIM? Was wondering why you wouldn't go with their "drag" version for this size of a project?

I'm going to be doing testing back to back hopefully on this Race SMIM and the JM Drag SMIM. I want to test for both Hp/Tq but also spool up and low and mid range Hp and torque. This is primarily a street driven car so I don't want to sacrifice to much on the low and mid range to gain a few Hp on top.

GT42R & primarly a street car, aren't words you hear together that often

That would defently be some interesting data to comapre. What kind of displacement will you be running & what kind of goals have you set for this build up?

An interesting question... Has anyone ever tried a 1 to 4 intake 'header' design (like a reverse 4 to 1 exhaust header) over the manifold?

It always seemed to me that the traditional design of the intake manifold was rather 'klutzy', and relied more on forcing air into the chamber and holding it there rather than promoting 'flow'.

This well be a stroker motor, and the goals are 900Whp which at my current weight should push me into the 150+Mph mark.

Just out of curiosity, and because I'm too lazy to search, but WTF does a torque plate do?

Please remember I'm not running a GT42R I'm running a Comp Turbo capable of out flowing a GT42R hence the GT42R Killer thread name.

^^^ I was going to point that out earlier, but I thought I'd let the man himself do it! I have a link to Comp Turbos in the 'Commercial Advertisements', as my good friend is the Canadian distributor for them.

Ron, the car/set-up is BADASS!

You bolt it to the block during honing to simulate the torque / stresses you'll have when the engine is all together.

Thanks And Ryan is a great guy to deal with! Joe or Justin at Comp are top notch guys and really now there stuff as they were in at Innovative Turbos Systems at the beginning.

Correct, the only thing is a lot of steel torque plates over distort the cylinders to much, when boring.

They are also the same guys that rebuilt my FP3575 with a fully rebuildable dual ball-bearing CHRA w/ larger shaft, since FP doesn't recommend running over 35psi with the small shaft the FP3575 comes with.

Pic of the car


Car is not a Drag car but a street car that sees autocross, and car shows and the local mall


4G63


Full interior Power everything

crazy ass car man. and that is one scary fuel pump

BTW i have the exact same rims only 17"

Nice car!! Numbers sound like lotsa fun!!

Getting ready for the new motor combo!



I would say progress pics, but in actuality the car is getting more and more torn apart. Rewiring most of the interior.





Removing the roof off the car! Can you say convertible.

Wow that is one nice looking 2g that engine shot was hawt! Nice car man.

Removing the roof??

Also what engine management system you using? EMS?

AEM

Thanks to everyone that has commented. I well be posting some new pics up shortly of the custom fab work that is being done.

^^^ Let's see that new snail!

I don't have it yet but shouldn't be much longer.

Are you doing a targa top ?

No just replacing the roof with a non sunroof skin.

Ahh ok, why's that?

I would guess that he is changing the roof skin to save weight and provide more clearence for wearing a helmet. Keep us updated with the pictures because that car is going to rock.

Some new parts arraived.

To make 150+Mph passes legal

dirrttty!. Goodluck with those 150mph+ passes! hopefully your drivetrain holds up!. Also, dont forget to get your licence if you dont already have it.

I'm sure the Shep Dogbox will hold up just fine, good luck with the rest tho!

Thanks and Yes I well be going for my licence this year.

Sent other pump back with new Hp goals in mind and well be running this Weldon Monster, and controller this year.

Wow, I know someone that has ran 9.3@150+ with 2 walbros(255 intank+255 inline), you must have some serious goals!

Yep but also my car is alot heavier then anyone else I have seen in the low 9's. You have to remmeber I'm over 3100 without me in the car and I weight 200Lbs.

Just to update and clear somethings up. My turbo is going to be a "GT42R Killer" hopefully, I won't be running a actual Garrett turbo. I well be running a new Comp Turbo with Proprietary Tech, and hopefully make the same or more power with quicker spool.

Put my back out project has been on hold for a few weeks, new updates to follow.

Update the roof is and widows are finally off the car


My new 90mm TB

Ron,

What is that Throttle body off of?

From the look of it, I'd say an F-16...

Its a standard Q45 Tb.

My new Drag Intake Manifold is finally here and to say I'm more impressed then with the JM Fab Race manifold. Thanks to Jim at JM, and Chris and Eric over at JNZ! :thumbsup:



Full velocity stacks



Polished



Second Fuel Rail



New 4" muffler



Just got these thanks to Greg at GSC, a little something he brewed up! :guns:

Sorry for the long time between updates but a bad back has put me on the sideline. I'm going for a MRI this week so hopefully I can get to the bottom of this problem. Here are a few updated pics.

A few highlights from the rewiring.

Relocated the fuse boxs from the engine compartment to center consol.



With lid closed


Weldon fuel pump controler mounted below factory stereo local.


Injector harness for 8 Injectors

Just wanted to thank my newest sponsor Supertech Performance for hooking me up with a custom set of valves, springs, ret, seals etc... I'm very impressed as was my machinist with the quality of these components. I well be running there S/S intake, and there Inconel exhaust valves along with there Dual spring/Ret kit.

Not much but a few progress pics of the new motor combo starting to come together.

Some pics of the car during the body work stage, the car has since been repainted and the color changed.



The new motor prior to being instaled!

Exellent!!!
Grat job Ron. What color did you painted the car in the end?

-Manuel

It looks great Ron, except for...the oil fil cap is upside down!

710 caps are faster!

Which exhaust manifold is that?

It's either an HK$ manifold, or the knock-off by On Green

That wastegate setup is killer

HKS you can tell it is an HKS cause it has the bolt holes to mount a heat shield the replica's don't from what I have seen.

I should have some pics up of the entire car very soon as soon as I reinstall the glass.

Well sorry for the lengthy delay in updates but I got my camera working! Here is a shot of the motor in the car and wired up, and fuel system installed. Just going to fab up a new intercooler pipe 3 1/2" and a new down pipe, and exhaust 4".

Whh.. whh...WHOA!

Where's your:

Fuse Box
Power Steering
Brake Lines
Everything else!!

Looks AMAZING man! Hope she puts up some good numbers!

Well I guess the 80+ hrs I spent cleaning the car up and rewiring are a success.

That is one pimp race car....

Its actually just my street car I take to the track a couple times a year!

Evennnnn better. Its going to be intersting to see what your weight is when done

I suddenly have a craving for McDonalds

Alot of the Red under the hood well be gone when the motor comes out for final cleaning and final assembly. This was just to test fit some of the new components etc.. The engine well carry the same paint scheme as the rest of the car!

It weighed 3000Lbs before so I don't think that well change alot with the extra wieght I added to the cage and with the chute etc...

Whats hooked into the top left of the valve cover?

thats a catch can. it vents the crankcase to the atmosphere instead of your intake tract as from factory.

I honestly loved the colour before, but its looking pretty good. Hey my brother is up in Fort Mac, I will tell him to keep an eye out for that beast.

Very nice.. yes I like !

A few more pics

Period.

Beautiful.

This is a pic of the car it still has a year worth of dirt and dust, and is not finished but just to give everyone a idea of what the finished product well look like.

Looks good. I would have personally left the roof black and spoiler on, but that hood looks actually really good with the car.

Also, the work in the engine bay is just gorgeous.

Ricer.

But seriously, there's a lot of good work there, looks great Ron!

Bah da Ba ba ba!!! I'm lovin' it!

Thanks I'm glad you guys like it. Like I said the car is a long way from where I want it. In fact I might be making some more big changes before the car even hits the streets.

Oh do tell

Depending if I sell some of my parts I might be fabing up a exhaust manifold, and some other trick pieces.

Wow I don't think I have seen a yellow talon before!

Amazing work shaving that engine bay.

Its gorgeous

Thanks I wanted something that would stand out and be instantly recognisable for my company Revolution Motorsports.

Well Jim at JM Fabrication is up to his old tricks and working on a new tubular Top Mount Manifold for my car. If it is anywhere near the quality of his Drag Intake Manifold it should be killer. Patiently waiting.

Have some new pics up this week!

So the car moves another step closer with my NHRA certification to run up to 8.50!

I couple of teasers of the new setup! Thanks to Jim at JM Fabrications this manifold is so damm nice I hate to even cover it up with a turbo and Downpipe the thing is almost a work of art.:2gunsfiring_v1:

Here is some pics of the manifold itself, in all its glory!

Got the downpipe and manifold cermaic coated and now ready to get the motor back in the car soon.

does it really have to be that nice?
j/k looking unreal, respect.
Btw that oilpan... im guessing its one off

http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=20975&cat=1499&page=1

The stock Moroso won't fit a stroked motor so you have to modify it alot to make it work so it is a Moroso that has been customized to work on a stroker.

wicked thanks for the info
I love this thread

I looked for a Moroso ages ago and they were never available. Guess I didn't look hard enough. I've never experienced oil starvation with the stock pan on the oval, autoslalom, or the track but it's always nice to have that extra protection. I'm assuming their 'trap-door' is a flapper valve to allow oil in but not out.

Yes plus also added capacity which allows better cooling, and less chance of starvation.

That downpipe is so amazing looking.

Thinking I might end up changing it up once I get the Tig welder back up and running.

Thanks been real busy working on everyone's stuff but mine. But anyways got the motor and tranny back in and wired up now just plumb the rad hoses, and make intercooler pipes etc and she should be ready to fire up.

Sorry for the delay to busy working on other peoples stuff to get anything done on mine. Some recent engine shots.

She's ALIVE! WWAHHHH

A video please!! haha

Ron, Awesome job.

Enjoy.

-Manuel

Like Brandon said...Video Please.

Excellent Job.

Quick little vid of initial start up!

The Talons Alive!!

That gauge setup is AMAZING!!

Thanks it really cleans up the interior as all 9 gauges fit within the stock gauge cluster opening.

ya, that gauge cluster is nuts! definitely looks like it all works together no problem!

You did all that nice detailing to the engine components but you don't have a cv boot or a coolant funnel on your thermostat housing while its running???? there's coolant going all down your engine and trany!!!!

Your car sounds awesome, Ron. Congrats, can't wait to see some track runs.

You can't run coolant at the track its straight water!

with garage closed ,, watch out for the carbon monoxide!!!!lol
awesome build mate, keep it comming!!! love the gauges too

Thanks but the other two doors were open!
