Just got an update on the engine being built. Here is a quote from an email that was just sent.

"Dynasty received the pistons late last week, so the machining and final assembly on your engine has started, and they should be done by late this week, or early next. Then they’ll get it shipped out to us."



I cant wait to see this thing finished!!

 

i wanna ride in it

 

Good build, I'm going to post a build thread soon.

 

Nothing to much to post, new intercooler came in and the shop is waiting on the engine to arrive.


I want to borrow those rear tires of yours some time at the track, lol.

 

Just set up my appt may 9-10th for my PPE header install and tune hopefully and not your will be there.

 

So after a long wait, the bottom end is finally finished and sitting at Dynosty awaiting shipping to Charlotte. Don't have any eye candy yet, but looks like they will most likely not starting on it till after Zdayz.

 

Wow, I didn't realize just how stripped you car was when you got it. You have done a bunch. Looking forward to the Finished motor.

Nice Clutch Pick

 

Thanks, yeah it was stripped down pretty good. Ive owned her only a year and spent a lot of money on her so far. Paid a little more than I wanted, but Im impatient and wanted to get it. It's an 03 touring with 60k on the clock with a clean record. I even drove over 8 hours 1 way to look at a z that was supposed to be in great shape...left empty handed.

 

How did you manage to get so much tq out of a vortech at that HP level? I was over 500hp and didn't break 400tq.

 

Don't know I bought some stuff, threw it together and had CIN tune it, lol. I actually creased over to 403 during tuning. Everyone at the shop seemed really impressed with the numbers it was putting down with the Vortech.

 

Also if it makes any difference it was tuned on a mustang dyno..

 

In all of my Dynos, Max wtq has been between 80 & 83% Max whp.

 

He's right at 90%!

With 80% I should be right at 403hp and I was still lower. I was also on a DD so I'm not sure if each dyno calculates the horsepower differently based on torque. That could be the differences I guess.

 

FWIW, I did 438/392 on a DD with my old setup. That's right below 90% if my math is correct. However, I was also using the 928M Impeller with the S trim housing.

 

i was 455/405. you just need to lean on the timing more

 

Thats awesome that they traveled to pick your car up. Charlotte to Texas? Whats the status?

Cin Motorsports: "We pick your Car up"

Chris

 

Im not in Texas anymore. I was stationed there. Im in South Carolina. That would be crazy as hell if they drove all that way to pick my car up, lol. It was still over an hour drive though to come and pick it up.

 

Awwwwww Still cool they picked the car up.

Chris

 

Little update, the engine is finally back and they have started on it. It's taken forever to get the block back, but it's finally here! Stopped by and took some pics.

Looks like were also gonna be adding a set of headers to the build.

 

Excited for you. How long has it been down now?
