#740/1000 BUILD

Very crafty, I guess I'll need to do that too when I get my manifold. So all you did was just combine two and made one to get the right angle so it doesn't hit the compressor housing anymore?

 

[Fiascoxl]

Pretty much, I just cut both at slightly different angles to achieve a slight bend. I then marked them where I needed them with a sharpie and had them welded together.

Broke a puny three bolt axle off at the splines testing my first hard launch after running the mustang, needless to say it gave up fast on just one attempt. So within the week I sourced a low mileage clean four bolt rear with cups had it shipped out Tuesday and installed by Friday morning. Met up with my buddy in the Mustang again and he wanted to run again with this time me actually launching it last night. I'm up five pounds of boost to thirty since last time we ran and it was a blatant beat down to say the least. Sucks I forgot my damn go pro at home but I manage to put a couple bus lengths on him. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hopefully this coming up weekend I can't get some time off and actually track the car and see where it is off the street with the go pro.

Ran at the track last night, still at thirty pounds and 93 pump but with the walbro 450. I just picked up a methanol kit, lol this pass was made with only 9 degrees peak timing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif With a few more psi and some legitimate timing I hope to get this thing down lower, it definitely has a ton left!

Nice looking set up

Just got one of ehmotorsports short shifters in and the throw is super short and very precise now. I opted for and sent in a 1g shifter and couldn't be anymore pleased with the end result.

I also took out the rubber bushings and pressed out the sleeves and with the use of washers lifted the base plate about a half inch or so. I kinda figured the shifter would sit low so I went ahead and did this right off the bat and in conjunction with a 1g boot it came out pretty sweet I'd would say. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ran a 2014 Camaro ZL1 Saturday night, results were more than entertaining. wasted it from a dig and a 40 mph roll. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I need to figure out how to post it here but if anyone hasn't seen the video, add me on facebook I'm tagged in it and its on my timeline.

Ahh man I gotta see that! Good job Joey!

Awesome car, I see you're racing out at the Bridge. If you want, let me know the next time you're going. I'd like to see that thing run, maybe I'll line up against you and get embarrassed, lol. It would be cool to see two GVR4s on the track together, even if I'm a full second slower.

 

[Fiascoxl]

Thanks, yeah that would be pretty cool. I think I may attend the TeamDOHC event coming up.

 

[Fiascoxl]

Forgot to post these, they came with the car and I thought they were pretty neat.

 

[Fiascoxl]

Noticed the car was down on boost so I took a look under the hood and found this. Well sh*t.

 

[GSX_TC]

Ouch. So are you going to repair it or get another type of intake manifold?

 

[Fiascoxl]

Going to pull it off tomorrow morning and have it welded back up and go back over the long plenum welds.

 

[Fiascoxl]

Hopefully this holds.

 

[GSX_TC]

Look like better welds than before, that should hold up well.

 

[Fiascoxl]

Just got back from a local track where I was able to win Import Power Adder Class with #740. I have a few pics and go pro footage to come later. After tuning out some bugs and lowering the boost down to 30 from 35 was able to crack consistent 7.4's.
