project budget nines

[inneedof]

Some of you might have heard about what I have been doing lately, after months and months of not being able to make up my mind about my 4g63 mirage I finally figured out a plan for it. I set myself a goal for a 9.99 second pass. This project has really picked up some steam due to the generosity of Aaron at midget flash. Midget gave me a garrett gt38 the other night, and that night project budget nine was created.

I have the long block out of RRev’s old race dsm, the block itself is unusable do to a ripped off ear that connects the engine to the transmission. So in the next week or two I will be buying a 6 bolt bare block from Lucas English by way of Jeff Bush. The block will be going to the machine shop and then will be reassembled by,, the block will have eagle rods, wiesco pistons, arp main studs, arp head studs, and arp rod bolts. The head will be disassembled and cleaned then Nick Drake will be porting it for me. After the port job crower springs and retainers will go back in, until I pick up some kiggly beehive valve springs. I have a set of hks 272’s that I am going to be selling, and I am going to be picking up 4 sets of hard face regrinds, a set of 280’s, 290’s, 300’s and a set of custom midget flash cams. This car will never see the street so streetablity is not an issue. With the gt 38 me Jake ( my bestfriend / lead tech for the project) and Aaron have been talking about different ways to control boost, free boosting, has been brought up but nothing is for sure, and ideas would be appreciated

I am going to have Art Morrison make me a cage, In the next few week or so when I get the car back I will be stripping it completely in preparation for the cage. I traded a 1g shell to a friend for labor to install the cage and have his friend make my side exit exhaust. I still need to figure out what I am going to do for the exhaust manifold and the o2 housing, it looks like JR from ets will be making it for me. . For the intake manifold I am trying to score a venom with a q45 and direct port nitrous, I have the complete nitrous kit except for a jet that I got from midget in a trade for a boost controller.

I am going to be going with an auto transmission, I have been talking to tom from rrev about it, I have picked up a 2g auto and a 9 inch billet ipt converter from him. I have already ordered the kiggly adapter from ipt, and still need to order the rebuild kit and a shift kit.

I am going to be having Lucas English of English racing do my tuning by way of maft translator, to dial in timing Matt Ahl has offered to supply any chips that are needed.

For fuel I will be using 1600cc injector an aeromotive afpr, and an aeromotive a1000, and a 1 gallon fuel cell

I am getting hooked up with rotas for the rear from a friend , The fronts are a set of one off weld rims weight in at 8 pounds each supplied my midget flash. The suspension will also be custom done my midget flash with help from a few of his close friends

Kyle from midnight motorsports is donating the radiator and fans to this project as well

I would like to thank everyone who is involved in this project, there has been a ton of you who have donated time, parts, labor and ideas to this project, this couldn’t be happening with out all of you.

Hoping to be hitting some 9 second passes next year at the seattle boti and the shootout

Unfortuantly not, I dont have hardly pics for anything. This is the 2nd thread were I was asked for pics for something... Hopefully that will all change once I get the money for a digital camera so I can go taking random shots of things. But I can find you a thread reguarding welding the block because I remember when it happened to me before I decieded to make a tuners account, I ended up logging into a friends name to search around to see if it could be done and stumbled upon a few threads back then.

This guy Dan with a pretty mean 1g welded his, I remember viewing this thread-

This is the closest idea of how mines looks except since mines was done with that motor mount bracket still attached to the block w/ engine in car, the weld on mines goes to the block also locking all three together, thats why I said that my front motor mount bracket wont ever be leaving the block now, not that theres any reason for it too...

BTW, Im not trying to convince you not to get a new block, thats recommended.
Im just trying to ease your doubts of thinking it cant be done in case you want to save some time and money
not getting a new block like the ppl like me who are too poor to have that option of getting a new block.

No new updates? Wow this guy is a dreamer. I wonder IF this imaginary car will ever come to life If it ever does... too bad I will have a built block by then ....it sure would have been fun to smoke this imaginary POS with my stock internal motor
