Damn, that sounds mean!

That turbo looks great with that short FAT pipe connecting directly to the air filter.

Only way to improve would be to stick the turbo up through a hole in the hood. ha. Like the grand national guys do.

***JPWEraser*** · 09-13-2005, 08:47 AM

Sounds like a damn v8! Awesome job and vision Bruce. Congratulations on a successful build!

Holy Shi* that sounds like an effin airplane sounds wonderful wish i can get money to do that.

**Rosspbig** · 09-13-2005, 04:06 PM

Omg i cant wait till you guys really open her up!!!

sachin · 09-13-2005, 05:57 PM

Looks pretty clean with that blue manifold. Congrats. =P

***Neanderthal Racing*** · 09-13-2005, 09:18 PM

thanks for the encouragement everybody.

we spent the entire day getting the car ready for its first outing. we've had an issue with the driver's side intercooler pipe interfering with the fan assembly on that side. i trimmed back the fan shroud to accomodate the pipe but the fan itself is within milimeters of one of the silicone coupler clamps and within minutes i had an issue with the fan making contact with the clamp. i returned back to the shop but it was so late we decided to bag it until tomorrow. we're going to try to trim back each blade unitl contact is impossible. of course, the trick will be keeping it in balance.

about the rest of the ride...the sounds, the power of this motor - even when off boost - is unbelievable. the crawford stroker shortblock provides a shocking amount of low end grunt. i adjusted the bov in the direction of hard until it reacted properly when coming off throttle. the b&b exhaust sounds great. the suspension is tight as a drum witht he additional bracing. the clutch will take a little getting used to.

i can't tell you how happy i am. congratulations to little ricky for all that he put into the project. i'll post a thank you to all the contributors and vendors in the next day or so.

eatV8 · 09-13-2005, 09:34 PM

Sucks the fan clips even after trimming it back. Maybe just swap it out for a smaller fan?

Do not forget eatV8 on your thank you list for coming up there and drinking your beer and eating your steak

**stituner420** · 09-13-2005, 09:38 PM

Congratulations Bruce! What is the in the pictures that is blanked out? The vids won't work for me...

eatV8 · 09-13-2005, 10:34 PM

Nothing was purposely blanked out. That is just a napkin little Ricky put there while he was flipping the fuel regulator the other way around (wasnt working properly)

I uploaded the videos to www.putfile.com maybe someone reading this can trouble shoot as to why it wont work for you... You are the second person who couldnt view them. Your not using a MAC by any chance?
