After putting so much into my brakes and chassis I can't sell it... really, no one else wants brakes like mine because they are "OVER KILL". Especially since I've got 3000 into the brakes and I just have a bare chassis, 944 aluminum arms, and full front suspension.
There is no way I will ever sell this car. It's my first car and I'll give it to my son if I ever have one or leave it to someone in my will. I'm thinking way into the future but back to the motor talk.
Xcceleration.com is putting 18 lbs of boost into the stock ej20 motors which translates to 395 hp on pump gas. which is amazing to me because every other shop i've talked to says the motor will throw a rod through the case or detonate at 330 hp. It's some thing I can't wait to expiriment with. Outback motors says you need $10000 into the motor to get it to 300 hp and it has to be on race gas. This is according to mack.
As far as putting the radiator and intercooler in the rear quarters, It's been done before without a scoop. I'll have an over sized air to air aluminum race intercooler designed for 600 hp from PWR as well as a liquid to air aftercooler just on the intake to make the charge supa cool. The radiator will be an oversized 3 core aluminum unit that will also be from PWR. Both the intercooler and the radiator will have dual 1600 CFM electric fans. On the outside of the body there will be side scoops if the fans aren't getting enough air to them. I like the look of vents on the side of a T1.
The purpose of this car is not for show, only to be crazy fast at any cost. This is only the first motor that i'll get the car tuned with and make sure everything is working the way it should, then i'll make the monster 33 psi motor.
Xcceleration.com also has "T" sleeves that give the block the ability to handle 50 psi! Overkill is the plan... maybe this'll be in the distant future if i get tired of only running in the 10 second bracket :yawn: .
