Drag Race Build: 1g daily street car to drag car build

91gsx123 · 03-23-2012, 07:12 AM

I have this posted on a local forum and figured i would share it here as well.
Bought the car back in 2010 from a guy in Indiana, Im in Kentucky btw. Anyway a quick rundown of the car when i got it. Motor was built at jnztuning back in 07, eagle/je rod/piston motor with bc 272s. Built and ported head also, im not gonna go into detail on that motor because it came out shortly after i got it.
A few pics.
Wheels didnt come with it

Still had all the abs crap and everything.

Turbo setup consisted of an AGP 50 trim that you see above (turbonetics compressor/mitsu hotside) with a dnp manifold, also ets 10.5 fmic. The car was going in the right direction when i picked it up. Already had the JNZ 7 gallon cell with aermotive A1000, 2 billet filters, aeromotive fuel rail, aeromotive frp, and precision 1050s.
Pics.

Being a street car at first i ditched the stock wheels and found a set of evo wheels a guy was selling locally. Also picked up a stock hood so i could do away with the cracked faded carbon one.

So after about a year of driving it on the street i decided i was gonna pull the motor out and freshen it up. The motor smoked quiet a bit when i got it, a leakdown told me that cylinder one was leaking 85% past the rings.

Once i had the motor out i went on and removed all the abs stuff to clean the engine bay up.

While i had the motor out a buddy of mine ended up parting out his car, i changed courses and ended up buying his motor and transmission from him instead of rebuilding mine.

Motor in, also picked up a new valve cover and catch can setup.

Gotta run, ill get back to this tonight.

No interest in this i see.

Bought a daily, and started getting parts together.

Started working on getting the interior ready for the cage, still need to order the main hoop though.

Bought a jh racing dual wg t4 manifold.

Had a local shop fab up my dump tubes and downpipe.

and here are some extra pics.

And a decent video of it running.

That is a clean ass 1g man! Good job on the build so far. What are your power goals, or do you have any set?

sobmurda · 03-25-2012, 11:07 AM

Cool man. Put up some video when you do. What kind of power you looking for?

91gsx123 · 03-25-2012, 12:53 PM

Thanks for the comments, looking for mid to low 6s in the 1/8 and 10s in the 1/4. C16 at 37 psi, lookin for around 700-750.

Very nice, feel there could be more info and such on the car but it looks to be coming together. Love the JH manifolds as well. I'll watch the thread.

got my msd box today. Hope to get Jesse Abele to start on the tune this weekend.

'99GST · 04-27-2012, 06:47 PM

I didnt use to like the 1gs too much but this is making me want to get one

95eclipser · 04-27-2012, 07:53 PM

Is this an OEM color??

turboglenn · 04-27-2012, 08:03 PM

Nice build!! One piece of advice if i may.. If you loose your tach or it acts up after installing the MSD box and tach adapter, unhook the adapter from then CDI box and put it's signal wire split into the crank angoe sensor (the one with the 4 triggers) this will clean up the signal and let it drive the OEM tach flawlessly.. i've yet to see the adapter work from the CDI and properly operate a DSM tach to this day

Yes my stock tach isnt working right now. I havent even started addressing the situation, Just removed the tach adapter to get it running. Ill give this a shot though.

any updates? looking forward to see what kind of power this thing puts down

91gsx123 · 08-24-2012, 03:40 PM

No updates to show at the moment, I had some personal things come up i had to deal with. I did however start on making some aluminum door panels and dash panels. Ill have pics up when there complete. Hoping to have it on the rollers soon and make a few passes before winter rolls around. Contemplating on going auto over the winter.
