thought Id start a little build thread to update the viewers on the status of the car, and what's happening.
It started as a a 2013 GT, stock motor, paxton 2200. affter beating on it for a while and still having no torque, i picked up a torque booster kit from a friend. with the addition of the wastegate @ 10lbs, the car was completely different, and was a good bit of fun. it was no longer hooking a 40 roll in 2nd on the 315/35/20 NT05R's so a set of bigs and littles helped the hook. unfortunately we never dyno'd the car except on the stock pulley no wastegate, so I can't say numbers. made 592 on the biggest pulley tho, so estimated 680 ish on the 3.33 pulley, 10lbs, and E85.
I added a full Fore fuel system with 2 walbro 465's. I've always had ID1000's, so those weren't new. first pump runs constantly, second pump kicks in at 2LBS i believe.
after enjoying the car for a while on the paxton with wastegate set up, i decided to pull the trigger on a built motor. the motor build included manley rods and pistons, clevite bearings, ARP hardware, etc. unfortunately, no sleeves so i'll be limited.
once I started thinking about it more and more, i realized that i was going to run into belt issues with the paxton spinning so high to make the numbers I wanted. I kicked the idea around of spraying the car too, but it was too much of a pain.
so I added up the difference of what I'd spend on long tubes and the 8 rib conversion, and it just made more sense to swap to twins.
turbos of choice are precision 6266's. Tial 44mm gates.
I picked up a twins kit, and an AMS1000 for boost management.
I think I'll run out of Injector before I run out of pump, somewhere between 850-950rwhp
we are building the MT82 (shift forks, rem treating and cryo treating gears, etc)
here in the next few months i'll be shopping for a TR6060 or T56 to get the longer gearing.
