Crappy cell phone pic tommorro ill get my digital camera out if i got time or monday ill clean the car up and get some better pics After a long feaking time waiting i got my motor done. I got my 2V swapped for a beast 4V Bottom end Iron block bored over (i dont know how much ) kellogg crank good to like 2000hp, Manley rods,probe pistons,ARP everything, Cobra C heads ported polished with bronze guides, turbo cams, 2004 mach 1 intake manifold painted crinkle black port matched to heads, QA1 Tubular K member, coil overs, narrowed my axles .5inch on each side. 8.5.9 comp. MMR 10qt oil pan with billit oil pump. I cant remember the exact details of the internals i know im missing some on my list but there in the beast. The motor was built to hold over 1000hp. Next month im taking it back for my turbo kit a single Precison 76MM. And all my suspension work for the rear and of course bullet proof the rear end. Whats kool about this guys kit is you wont see the turbo or any piping except the big feed pipe going into the manifold, it will look like a cold air intake.
If you don't mind me asking, what did that set up cost you? Did you just buy a stock 4v long block and have new pistons/rods/crank installed?
No I got a bare block and everything seperate and had a Place called Sunset Race Craft do the machine work to it. And my mechaic did the rest, he found everything new on it except the intake we got it off some wrecked mach 1. i could have got it cheaper but i went with the good stuff. The motor was around 11500 the part that kicked my butt was all the little stuff i couldnt believe how little crap you need to convert a 2v.
That looks bada$$ man. I am sure that you are so excited to have the new found power, esp. once the turbo goes on it.
Well I hope the turbo puts the icing on the cake! How much boost do you plan to run? If it can handle 1000hp, I assume A LOT
WOW, now thats a motor dude... make sure you drive it like you stole it lol.. (we are waiting for ticket threads) haha just kiddin Show us some #'s when you get it done..
Well im going to have 3 tunes on flip chip. Full race gas around 24psi, 50/50 tune, 10 lbs pump gas tune. I wont have 1000hp numbers because its going to have a C4 tranny but the car will be faster that way. But if it did have a T56 or something im pretty sure i would be over 1000hp. I hope I dont get any tickets maybe for my window tint i aint driving it fast anyway just breaking it in. It sounds freaking mean i cant wait to get on it WOT.
I know how you feel. Been there and done that. My 2V engine cost enough $$ as is, but all the nuts and bolts have knickled and dimed me to death! I had to replace my clutch, flywheel, clutch cable, CC cable, etc. Let's just say I've ended up spending a few grand more than expected. Anyways, I love those valve covers. They look killer!
Thanx man I have seen that car of yours progress since i joyned By the way sweet hood and bumper combo i ordered me a 3 inch cowl hood also, i kinda copied you but i have wanted the cowl for awhile ill just say we got taste
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sick dude, your going to love a turbo 4V . They LOVE turbos I wouldnt mind having a 4V, thats for sure....but I can make the power I want to have with this little 2V, so its just not worth it for me. + alot of custom things would have to be "re customized" LOL. Definatly cant wait for the #s though....they should be killer Although a C4 is not going to make a great street driver....no O/D. That just makes it to race car ish IMO. Id go with a T56....unless thats what your wanting. A race car
Well it will be ok street car no more highway trips im going to put 3:27s back in the rear. it will be ok around town im only taking her out on weekends anyway. Its going to be fun at the track and street IMO By the way have you started saving up for that built motor not meaning it in a evil way but i cant wait to see that beast you got with lots of boost and a built motor. I originally had a built 2v so i got some turbo cams for the 2v in my hands so shout me a PM if you are interested. I changed my mind to go 4v thats why i have them, they havnt been used at all. I dont need denero, just chicken/fries and i would like to see them on something badd asssseeee
Ah weekend car then it will be perfect! I tend to get into that mode that everyones car is their daily driver, like mine is, and thats what I based it on. But since its a toy, then the C4 is the best bet....autos come off HARD from a dig and get better traction with the stall than a M5/M6 car. Nope LOL, havnt saved a penny towards it Im starting though now....well just a saving again in general. I used it last time to pay off my car and never rebuilt it....got to click happy with online parts stores . Shooting you a PM right now !
