Those are some sweet ass welds!!

I'll keep my eye on this thread.

Was just thinking that.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Awesome project. Should be a wicked ride.


+1 on the welds.

 

[sabirshalabi]

Just Yes

Someone is copying me!!!!!!!

Thanx guys. It's always has to look good. Lots of good shit coming. Ain't seen nothin' yet.


Important thing to know when looking at any stainless is the color. The color is an indication of how hot the weld was when the gas shield was removed. The color is actually contamination. After you've passed over it, it's no big deal. IN the medical or food industry more measures would be taken because it would be too much. Silver would be perfect, yellow/straw acceptable. These colors are totally acceptable for this app, and so are a little darker. When you start getting grey, or black, you're F'd. The rod/material is burnt, and the weld is compromised. Carbon precipitation sets in and you can pretty much know it's going to crack.

This is not my work. I only posted it to show a burnt stainless weld.

Do my eyes deceive me or do I not see A big ass turbo, but TWO big ass turbos?

 

[Godzirra]

Yea with the quantity of water in that tank, there definitely is no need for HE in that setup.

God, that's not mine. Just wanted to show was a burnt stainless weld looks like. That's not a 2011 either

Yeah, that one is rather large. I built it for mine with the idea that the Tex mile was a possibility. But for most folks 5 gal will be plenty. Here is the trick to it. Don't turn on the water pump until you are actually in boost, and there is no way to over heat the tank. It's impossible.

That's not a 2011 either

Looks more like an LS in a Fox?

Man those welds are fried, how the hell can someone produce that kind of work. I'm not a welder but I have been around a great one and I know what good welds look like. Yours are a good job, great bead pattern and not too much heat. I pity the guy that is paying for that turbo job. With those turbos hanging out there unsupported those weld should start cracking after about 20 cycles.

I know what you mean man, I see it all the time. This is why I'm going to be the asshole who tells people why this or that is better. Why I made you move "this." People are so spoiled and afraid to move things it had started effecting every aspect of performance, drive ability and safety in a kit. I see MAF tubes causing problems with idle surging because they are way too short causing turbulence. Other band aid it by putting it in the intercooler. These are just one of a few things I see.

those welds are great. I can't wait for this build to start.

Alright so the plans are about laid out, so we can spill the beans now that most is figured out. The plan right now is to make it one of the baddest cars on the streets, in all areas.

One of the key components to the car will be the fuel system. Not many people including the customer has easy availability to E85. Not many people want to run a leaded gas because of cost, especially with these closed loop cars and potential damage to the O2's. Plus draining and switching is a pain in the ass. Play time can be limited if you are stuck on pump gas as well. So the plan is to run a secondary fuel system all together to supply E85 via another 8 injectors. This way the customer can have his cake and eat it,too. Drive around town on the stock ECU, injectors, fuel system and quite fuel pump. When it's time to get nasty, the secondary ECU will kick on the secondary fuel pump automatically. The E85 will only be used under boost, so that means better gas mileage, and no need to know where the closest stations are to plan your trips. He'll drive to a station, grab a 55 gallon or drum or two and store it at home and fill up as needed.

Even better yet all this really won't be bad compared to having to buy everything you would to convert to E85 anyways. You just need a 700 dollar Mega Squirt setup, and second tank for the E85. Injectors, pump, bigger fuel lines you would need anyways. We are going to do the same here but run it in parallel.

There are going to be safety measure built into the system thru the mega squirt and a few other things. Without the boost controller turned on, the boost will be very low on spring pressure. The boost controller power will come via a sending unit in the tank. If it has enough E85 in the tank, the boost controller will be operational. If it does not have enough E85 in the tank, there will be no chance or risking the engine to mere pump gas as the boost will only hit 6 psi.

Small overview of the parts going on.


Engine
MMR 1500
Stage 3 head and cams
Sheetmetal intake with 16 injectors

Transmission
Lentech built, no transbrake

Rear end
Probably stock gear for now. See how it does.
CPR modified 8.8
Braced, welded tubes, 9in ends with Strange
31 spline, Eaton E locker for perfect streetability.
Open rear for cruising and turning, flip a switch for the
locker when it's play time.

Suspenion
Front will be a CPR modified BMR k-member for the turbo kit.
BMR's arms will be hanging up front as well.

Rear will be autofab lower control arms and relocation brackets
with a racecraft upper arm and mount. Looking for all the adjust ability
we can get to keep this thing under control. She's gonna need it.

Fuel system
Primary will remain stock.

Secondary system
Mega squirt as a piggy back for the secondary fuel system.
Bosch 205 injectors
Custom CPR tank in the rear for the E85
Fuel pump will come on with boost, along with the A/W pump.

Powa
We've decided to hell with it and go straight for the gusto.
Custom BW GT42 based 88m turbo
JGS 50mm wastegate and BOV
A/W unit with box in the trunk.
No heat exchanger. This method is FAR superior than running one.
Without the cooler in the engine, and the pump being off driving around there
is no way to overheat the water in the tank. Testing and customer data along with mine proves it is hands down better.

Holy fuck, taking a page from the Code Red Shelby I see, how long til its done?

And curious as to the choice of motor builder.......

 

[Nastystang06]

What about using a fmic and water/meth?

 

[CPRsm]

Trying for spring. Customer will be thawing out about then and wants to have it back to play with. Tons to do so we'll cross our fingers! Where this will be different as far as I can see, it is still 49 state legal. Inspections will be no problem because the stock ECU is there, and it have cats. Only questionable part is whether the cams will pass smog or not. But, with variable cam timing, we just may have a smog legal 1500HP.
The engine builder, knew wouldnt go over smoothly here lol. I saw that a few weeks ago. Seen good and bad. But lots of people making power and living. But as a shop I see both sides, and hard to just take someone elses word without seeing it for myself.
