Car is looking great! Looking forward to see it hit the track.

How much does a chromoly 10pt like that run fully installed and all up there? Just wanted to compare to quotes im getting down here

 

[daplatano91]

10 point fully installed would range anywhere from 3000-5500 depending on the shop.

Finally!!!!

 

[daplatano91]

Finally got everything completely finished. Here is a few more pics of the cage. Everything is set for me to take the car out for testing Wednesday. Again I cant thank Marc at MTK welding enough for the top notch job on the cage.

Did you make it out to the track, Frank?

 

[black97spyder]

Looking great!!! Would love to see the dyno numbers and What it does at the track!!!

 

[daplatano91]

Hey guys just an update. Got a change of heart an decided to swap out the 1g trans with sinister converter for the 2g with precision. I got that done last week. I have a dyno day set for wednesday to finish up the tune and test the nitrous.
I have a wedding to go to this weekend so most likely next weekend I'll have some time slips to post up.

 

[11secDSM]

Good luck on Wednesday! I'm sure you're looking forward to no more converter issues!

So guy just an update. We did take the car to the dyno and I can now be added to list of guys who found out the hard way why not to feed a journal bearing turbo from the head. Car made 630 and 480ft on a turbo that was good for nothing more than a babies rattle. Turbo is already off the car and sent to forced industries to be rebuilt and made bigger. As well as swapping to they're newest version of the upgraded bw compressor wheel. Should have it back in about 9 days and on the dyno again soon after. Can't wait to start getting some track time in to prep for Norwalk.

 

[Boosted6]

Long road. You'll get there.

 

[daplatano91]

Not exactly in time for the shoot out but back none the less. Can't wait to see how these new specs net me. Updates soon to come.

 

[daplatano91]

Finally got back to to the dyno yesterday. Didnt get to go at it balls out since my number 7 injector decided to get stuck open. I went ahead and tuned the car with just what I could get on the primary's. Car made 690hp and 492tq at just 36psi. Cant wait to get the injectors back from cleaning and turn it up to the intended 55psi I wanted and see how the the turbo likes the bottle. Here is a video my boy posted up of me testing the shift points. I'll have the dyno log and more vidz soon.

[Boosted6]

Sounds mean! Think you will get any track time this year?

 

[daplatano91]

I think I'm taking it to e-town tomorrow for the mitsu vs subie event.

 

[94allwheeldsm]

Let us know how you make out I love this car!!

 

[black97spyder]

Well did you take the car out to the track?? Any results/updates??

 

[daplatano91]

Didn't take the car out I ended up sending the secondary injectors out to get cleaned and flow tested. Got them back and installed monday. Took the car back to the dyno wednesday to try to finish the high boost tune and nitrous. I was able to get the nitrous tuned. Found an issue with the wiring for injector #7 so I re wired it on the dyno and with my luck injector #4 gets stuck open ending my night.
Gotta love these gremlins

Awesome, awesome build man, great work.

I love how you just dove right in and went all out with this beast! I've been contemplating doing the same with my car, because everytime something breaks it seems I just go bigger and bigger . Really nice job with this car so far though, I look forward to seeing the payoff for all your hard work.
