......

I got the look of death from the wife when we went out to eat on Monday and my 7yr old is shouting from the booster seat "look at this idiot, the left lane is for passing, pass him on the right Dad". Needless to say the wife was not amused. I just looked at her and said "I have no idea where he got that from".

Hi Terry sorry for the OT.

I'm sporadically checking the forum at this point. I have swamped with work and, as everyone knows, I get really involved with the threads. Right now I need to focus on work, which is a good thing.

Anyway, I have been working with Sam on some R&D issues and the block is now back at Japtrix. I'll be speaking with Roger at the end of this week or maybe next week on nailing down a schedule for getting everything back together. Hopefully I'll be up and running by year end, but need to confirm that schedule with Roger.

Terry any updates on the progress from Japtrix side? I can't wait to see this.

The motor is completely assembled. GTM provided the short block and Japtrix did the rest of the assembly. I spoke with Japtrix yesterday about tapping the intake runners for the meth injectors and other things. Nothing is happening quickly, but this definitely appears to be the biggest project Japtrix has handled from what I gather. Things are not moving very quickly, but I have high confidence that everything is being done properly and meticulously, though not at a quick pace. I hope to make Z days this year. We will see.

Terry that is great news, I am really excited for you. I would love to see you car at or before Z-dayz.

Are you doing meth injection in to the intake manifold runners? Im looking into doing this, what size jets are you going to run and where are you getting them?

thanks

He is doing a direct port meth injection, I think there was some more info in this thread about it.

Yes, into the intake runners. Coolingmist 180cc injectors. Google Coolingmist and the web page should come up.

Thanks

How did you decide on the size of the injectors? At most i will make ~620rwhp on pump so do you think that size would be ok for my setup?

I have a spreadsheet that calculates fuel flow and injection solution requirements based on desired whp, rpm etc. If you would like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.

The rule of thumb is that the injection solution (meth/H2O) should not exceed about 20% of the fuel flow. For 620 whp at 7000 rpm on a 3.5L motor, I calculate that each injector should flow about 100 cc/min.

If you are running straight meth, or maybe a 70%meth/water ratio, you could probably exceed the 20% ratio, though it probably would not be needed.

Glad to hear you are doing direct port Terry it makes a world of difference, and to be honest you don't need to add any methanol just the distilled water alone will be more than enough.

Really eager to see your results with the closed deck, I really think that is going to be the best way to go for big power and longevity.

The motor and transmission are in. Last week Roger was checking fitment of the everything behind the bumper. It's coming along, but at a snail's pace.

saw your car up there.. looking good... what camber are you running in the rear? fenders rolled? looking to go 305s in the rear...

XBS

iTrader: (29)

That's a good sign! I would recommend when you get the car back to take your time breaking it in, then increase the power levels slowly. I.E. keep it at 500rwhp for a while to get the kinks out, enjoy it, then slowly go up from there.

Does anyone know how much power that other closed deck VQ35 was making from S&R?

-George

Yes, the fenders are rolled. I think I am somewhere around -1.0 or -1.5 degrees in the rear. I had it setup so long ago, I forgot. I am running 305's in the rear on 19 x 10.5 - 30 offset wheels.

6 month update bump

Still waiting for Japtrix to finish. Motor is in and has been started.

They have had the motor since September of last year, and still are not done with the project. I'm at my wits end over this. I keep getting promised dates, and then those dates pass with the car still not done.

I understand that I am requesting a lot of customization, etc., and much of this is outside what they normally do, but still, over a year? I keep getting bumped for smaller projects they can turn around quicker.

I don't want to start an entire could of, would of, should of on this. It is what it is, and hopefully I will finally have the car back by year end. We'll see.

WOW Terry....I have seen NASA build space shuttles in less time

I know how you feel... You are allowed to post pictures of the progress..
