Just a couple teaser pics





Finishing up charge pipes, mounting intercooler at the moment
Tomarrow we finish all wiring and tune the car
Dyno chart up friday!

Turbo is T3/T4 57 trim stage 3 turbine
Should make for one very broad powerband

nice james, what is going on with your car?

 

This is my last customrs car for a long time
Once this car leaves the shop friday I am getting my datsun 240z running again with the sbc 350

Then I can finally get back on my red dragon
The plans have changed alot for the my s2k
So Just wait to see
-James

 

keep up the good work james

 

c'mon james, don't be such a tease... pm me your plans and i'll pm you my plans for my car...

 

Just sent you pm
You best keep that super downlow! lol

-James

 

Honestly this is just a basic topmount setup, nothing really all that different other than the brace for the turbo I made

But the dyno chart is what yall need to be anxious to see
Might be a basic setup but should be one of the meanest when it comes to street usuable power.

-James

 

Wow I was just talking to Khiem the other day about you. Wondering what you been up to.

Nice and clean setup!!! I like the bracket.

 

Another teaser pic to hold you guys over
Instead of putting up full pictures tonight I will do a nice photoshoot tomarrow on the car

Ok I am out till then

Those are really nice looking Al welds. What machine are you using?

What are you planning on building for the cummins? I've been fabbin up a bunch of manifolds, downpipes, intake tubes, intercooler tubes etc lately for some baja1000 trucks.

 

its just a 180sd

For some reason my skill on stainless has gone down but my skill in aluminum has sky rocketed lol

I guess thats what I get for doing 90% aluminum welding for 6 months straight when I was at racing solutions viper shop

 

Dang not bad man! I know what thats like when I weld something too much. Looks like you are welding that stuff super slow? How many amps and what wall thickness and what tungsten do you use? So what are ya gonna make for the cummins?

 

no actually I was zipping along pretty fast on that
That weld at pipe to flange is 90 amps
pipe to pipe is 80 amps and looks the same

I am out of pure tungsten so that was with 2% thor. (a pita to ball this stuff!)
For the cummins:
I have 2 setups planned but they are on the downlow till I am further along on them
Also have some good automatic trans swaps coming for the cummins

Basically in the line of hondas I am just building manifolds and thats it
I am working at hitting the diesel market hard while there is pretty much now though

 

did you get your red race car running?

also is that your s2k?

 

Some finished pictures
Unfortunatly the stock exhaust wouldn't let us get anywhere close to the power we were wanting. The owner is having a full 3inch exhaust put on and having it retuned though, it should be doing alot better then

-James

 

looks good man.
You should look into a better PCV system to free up some power.

how much power is hidden there?

 

Depends on how much boost you are running. It will prevent blow by.

 

I know everyone dogs doing the pcv setup like that but that is how I have ran it on all of my own personal cars and I have made over 600 hp like this....

 

From my experience vented valve covers are not a great way to setup the pcv on a boosted motor. I never work on hondas though, so cant give my in put there. As long as it worls for you thats all that matters.
On topic, your fab work is downright awesome man. Big props for the setup. One thing though, what is the deal with mounting filters directly onto the compressor. Was it owners preference? I am just nit picky and this is always something that bothers me.

 

yes i was wondering that also.
If a pipe was added to thecompresor wouldnt it smooth the air out some before it going into the compressor? Maybe i dont know, Im just talking becuase im bored at school.

 

Nice work james! What happen to your drag s2000 anyway?

It isn't the best way to go about doing it but it does work and is cheap
Dry sump is the best way to go about crank case ventalation
