I suppose a few updates are in order, perhaps these will help convey the scope of this project ;)

So what turbo is that? I'm not the type with the ability to tell by just lookin at the compressor cover :)

Oh sorry, Borg Warner S380. Rau used it last season until he was forced to move down a size due to class restrictions ;)

So it's safe to say 300whp is not going to be a problem? LOL

Yeah, I'd have sex with a turbo that big.

Thats what all those metal cutting tools are for, if its in the way just cut it to make room. Its the price you pay for POWA.

For those of us that are not going to the Shootout, and not likely to be in your shop any time soon. Post some pics of the car. I'm not sure when the Shootout is, but at least post pics when that is over.

Get that thing finished and running!! I worked late sunday (my only day off) to build that thing.

Post pics when u get a chance.

v8klla 08-02-2007 06:31 PM

Re: Our new project car has arrived...
 
I will definitely post pics, SLS already got a sneak preview ;) We just want to keep it under wraps until after the shootout which is the 19th of this month.

I strongly encourage you guys to swing by if you are in the area, there is a lot of fun stuff to look at ;)

Hey, I got that main girdle too :). I was going to come by the shop the other day on my way home from picking up a radio but I missed the exit and said fuck it. Its lookin good tho!!!!

Re: Our new project car has arrived...
 
Very nice. Do you guys have a specific goal you are shooting for with this car?

Enes 08-05-2007 12:50 AM

Re: Our new project car has arrived...
 
obviously to win!!!

i'm guessing they are going for around 850hp

Good job guys....!!!! now we need more pics..

Those look like diesel or nitrous pistons.

To win what? According to their post, the turbo is not allowed in whatever class Rau is in, so who will they run against?

Looking good guys, if someone were to stop by the shop would they be able to see said car or is that off limits too?

dumb_ricer 08-05-2007 07:15 PM

Re: Our new project car has arrived...
 
Our main goal right now is to get it down the track and make sure everything (rear end excluded) is done correctly.

We talked about possible pro class racing eventually. We would probably end up doing a 10.5in DOT tire class if we ever decided to do pro racing.
