I was curious to see from various install setups of those who have PF on a 420a, 2G. Fuel system only. If so, please post a few pics that show the route you took. I'd like to compare since I went the "in series" route but have yet to fire the car. You see, I was one of the original PF...
Based off the question itself, I'm going on a hunch and figuring you are fairly new the scene and just learning cars considering your age. Give it time BUT an engine change of this nature would require a core support swap, belly band swap, wiring harness, and motor mount mods in addition to...
Perhaps you have, but, "MB"- check in with him. Bullett has been through it all and remained dedicated to All motor even after building an 11sec boosted 420a. At one point I remember seeing him testing out individual TBs. etc. Talked with him a few times at the various Shootouts and can say he...
Weak OEM piston materials- ringlands prone to fracture easily. OEM head gaskets are weak. OEM cylinder head flow dynamics: although a design used by Chrysler from what was once said to used in a capable Lotus platform- the volume and other features were changed for the purpose of US emissions...
In response to first post: The bottom line is that the amount of $ spent in parts to turn a 12 sec 1/4 or better would easily put a 4G in the 10s or better. I have a fully built 2.2L w/ 9.25:1cr and PortFueler setup and best was 12.60s @ 109mph. (5yrs ago). For what I've spent over the years...
Props to you! Amazing car. Having been in the performance exhaust industry for more than 15 years, I can tell you that DP route will do pretty good things for your set up. Sure it's not the straight dump and I know you did this so you can compete in MAX effort, but the forward routed transition...
Just a little background: This car has been in my possession since 1999 after I came across it with less than 7k miles in a salvage yard. At the time I had the shop and resources available to replace a partial front clip myself. Within a year it was on the road traveling a Nopi/Super Street...
