Competition Something to dream about....

[R.E. Miller]

Yeah right Matt! The added weight of the water, and the threat of carrying the largest ice cube in new england would cause you to talk yourself out of it

The short block is being assembled. The head is ready.



As soon as we get it back in the truck the fabrication begins. Hopefully next week. [/QUOTE]



So Mark how is this "project" moving?? The customer is waiting.

\x/ hillfolk!

I believe the intercooler Mitchell sells, is tested at 150 PSI.



It is a bolt in.



Yes, it is expensive.

Any word?

Any word?

Yeah the word is BAAAAAAAD!

So, is the truck going to be on the road Oct. 25? if It is,, it should be at the D/FW dyno day so we can see your workmanship, and see those HP #'s.

With three chargers, NOS, Meth, ported head, and Cam, it shouldn't have a hard time spoolin' em.

Right now we're waiting on an exhaust manifold.

 

[F8LDOSE]

Mark, what kind of manifold are you going to use?

Glad to see it's being atleast somewhat worked on. Just don't let that truck sit untill it ruins. Let those horses run free.

Show me the boost!!

Thinking aloud....

Looking at the pics of the tubluar header up above - makes me think of the 4th Generation Toyota Supra (JZA-80, 2JZ-GTE) single turbo headers on the market.



Methinks that you could get a 6-into-1 (T3 style flange... ) collector instead of fabbing your own. Not that the diesel header won't flow nicely - cuz it looks like it will... . but a pre-made collector could save some fab time. Time = $

[Mark_Kendrick]

The problem is that a T66 uses a t04 flange.



But I'll look into it.



Thanks,

Mark

The BigDog Supras are running stuff a LOT bigger than a T66..... a T04 flange shouldn't be a problem.



Sound Performance (Supra specialists... . ) in the Chicagoland area has treated a lot of my friends right... . My buddy Max V. works for them. They have a street-driven car that runs 9. 0 in the 1/4 - ON THE MOTOR. 2000hp out of a 3. 0L, I-6 24 valve gasser is pretty much the latest and greatest in that arena.....

bla bla bla, why so much talk and no work?

 

[F8LDOSE]

I didn't like my collector on my header(that would be the top pics) so i decided to get some help from two of the best in the u. s. One for his header design and fab skills and the other for his R&D work with the 5. 9..... We moved the small turbo up about 5. 5 inches, to allow more room underneath for the other turbo(s). Will flow at least 150% of an 3 peice manifold. I'll try to get some pics up in a couple days.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Talk is cheap... .



Besides, I like to help others go fast... . I can't afford to go fast... . yet.

{The following photos were originally . bmp's, which are non-TDR friendly..... so I used what I had here at work to make them into .gif's - hence the loss of color information. }



Here are Jason's (F8LDOSE) header photos:

It's a nice design... . and the fab work looks pretty top notch.

On edit(s): I had to fix my code to make the pics display correctly.

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

I like the pics... very



I should be recieving the new header/exhaust manifold early next week.

 

[Brandon]

again, no work on the truck, Mark, you must quit talking about it and get to work. Was the time frame for you not enough? Maybe you thought the customer would forget about his truck? This is a very sad thing to see it take this long, is there something we or (he) doesn't know about?





I just cant take the suspense, drama, anticapation, or angst anymore
