I have been gone awhile, but I'm back....
Here is the new story on my car. Previously was a built motor greddy car with basicly just pistons and rods, put down 522@19psi on a DD. It was a blast to drive, but the HP bug bit me hard (damn bug!), so I contacted a local shop (Carma Performance in Nashville, TN) to help me get a "big twin" kit rolling.
We started the kit off with just a pair of SFR manifolds, that ended up having to be modified considerably to fit the bigger V-band exhaust housings. Everything else was fabricated in house by Erin@Carma. Final number is a safe 725rwhp@24psi on a DD using E85. We made a 800rwhp@26ish psi pass, but the injectors were simply maxed out on E85, so we backed it down some to keep the injectors in safe territory. I might push it more later with bigger injectors. E85 is pretty awesome, and with 2 pumps next to my house, its an obvious choice for fuel. It has been a long road, but it is finally done. Here are the specs: 2005 Track with 26k on it. Turbo kit: Carma low mount twin kit Twin precision billet 6062s, .63 V-band exhaust housings 5" thick intercooler 3" downpipes to 3" dual exhaust 38mm V-band Tial wastegates dumped 50mm Tial BOV All piping is black powder coated Coated hot sides Engine: CP pistons Eagle rods ACL race bearings L19 Studs HR headgasket ARP mains IP girdle JWT C8R cams JWT springs Fully balanced Crawford cast plenum Koyo rad Computer: Flashed ECU Haltech with 3.5 bar sensor Boost solenoid Innovate sensor wire into haltech for datalogging Fuel: 120lb injectors SP triple hanger -10 feed -6 return Altered rails 2 pumps run all the time, 3rd kicks in at 15psi Drivetrain: 3.3 rear end IP solid engine mounts Solid diff mounts Clutchmasters fx700 with twin iron disk Update: Here is a link for more pictures of the car. Once you select a picture, click it again for a bigger view. http://www.flickr.com/photos/defcon8...7626270068820/ The car was shot by Chad Lunn from www.chadlunnphotography.com. He took LOTS of pictures and they will put up slowly once he is done checking them over. Check back for more pictures. Here are some various pictures throughout the entire build. The tac signal was being weird, so no HPxRPM at this time. We are reving the car to 8k. I'm sure I am forgetting something, but this is the gist of things. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6095843_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6776518_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5074609_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3584533_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3437791_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5777599_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5884566_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4578481_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2285414_n.jpg |
great stuff. Glad to see something not the run of the mill.

Sick :thumbup: i wish E85 was available around here, but the starving kids in Africa are probably glad it is not :bowrofl:

I could of bought an SP kit and saved some head ache, but at the start of this project we were trying to use the Bullseye Power s262's. After fighting with the turbos to get them to fit, we scratched that idea and went with the tried and true Precisions.

NICE!:thumbup: Congrats!
What injectors do you currently have? |

What injectors do you currently have? I bought the injectors awhile ago before I knew about the ID 2000s, or I would of gone with those. We flowed these, for the hell of it, and they all flowed insane. They looked like a water hose. http://eficomponents.com/index.php?m...rpp5mpcb9fv5o7 |
The Z is awesome. Congrats! :)

Congrats - great power! Can you put some words to the driving experience before vs after this latest incarnation?

The car feels like a completely different animial. Lag is not as bad as I thought it would be, and the car physically feels more machine like (maybe from the solid mounts?). If that makes sense. The clutch is very tricky, but is manageable. Oh and then the way it sounds :). Reminds me of a jet engine coming online.
I will get some videos here in the next week. |
sick build!
you must have some deep pockets, what line of work are you in? |
glad to see you back and the car looks great. much props for a badass build.
|
Nice looking build!
|
Nice.....

filthy:icon28:
|
Great build. In for vids.
|
That is frickin's awesome! May I ask how much you're into it?
|
700-800hp is quite high for the eagle rods, was the short block carried over from the previous build?
