Project V8killa

[CornFed2.4]

So here it goes. I've been buying cars parts left and right and now seem to have found a shell I could be happy with building knowing it can be done right.

People that I want to thank so far since I've got back in. Jim(talonfiero). Thanks for getting me back and teaching me how to swap trans. Brad (celicabrad) knowledge and parts. Aaron(turbotalon1G) giving me a plan of how to build a car and just keep 1. Tom(blacktalontsi) for giving me a great deal on a car that is absolutely rust free and tons of dsm parts to boot.
And all of you on here that helped out and been over either buying parts or selling me some.

Enough of that on to the good stuff

Thanks again Jugny and Tom for keeping a clean car clean and hope to have it up by proving grounds

Pics I hope privious owners dont mind









Ill add more pics and phots as i get the motor and parts in just waiting for the brown truck to show up so I can keep moving forward.

I love my Makita

Swap the Cometic for a Permatorque and get a real clutch. If CP hasn't made your pistons yet - seriously, talk to LaCroix Other than that, she'll move. Good luck!

[CornFed2.4]

I can't run q permatorque cause they only go to 87mm. I already ordered the CPs and they said a few weeks still. Not a biggie since gosh said he's 2 weeks out anyways. Zimmer swears up and down about the southbend do I'll give it a shot if it don't hold I'll go to a comp TD like you did.

[Halon]

Nice looking car. 6266 would be a nice turbo. I personally wouldn't go any larger at first because that turbo will get you some damn nice numbers. Just make sure the rest of the car is ready for it. I'm not familiar with that clutch, but hopefully it works out? I really liked my 2900/Clutchnet combo. It's what a handful of people on the Link forums were running with good results. Something to consider if yours ends up not holding.

Good luck!

[turbotalon1g]

Can't wait to see this go together. I'd spend the $$$ and go 6266 over a holset thing, unless you wanted to go 5858, which I think would be awesome and I've seen break 600before with room to go.

I did more than just give you a plan.

[CornFed2.4]

I was thinking a 6262 journal bearing in a bolt on housing and a FP race if funds get low. But as of right now plan is a 6266 t3 top mount exhaust mani. The only thing is there's a $1500 difference in the set up. So I'll have to see where my money's at as it's the last thing I'm buying.

Halan these are the clutches I'm talking about.

I actually have run one before on a 88mm over-bore custom job. It worked great. I even reused the gasket in my current 87mm 2.4.

Just another data point for consideration.

Top mount is just for show, so if that's what you are going for cool. If not they were built for 42R shits and well 90% of people don't even need those with all the new turbo tech around.
That is kinda my plan, do a bolt-on housing for now and see what it can do.
So what needs to be done to the new shell as of now?

[CornFed2.4]

Well with the advice of Shane and a few other shops they said the cometicwould do the job with L19s. So I'll give it a shot I also plan on o-ringing the head for extra insurance.

[CornFed2.4]

I'm currently pulling the black stuff out of my old shell to put in the new one then just wait for parts. My walbro 450 should be here by the end of the week so I might install that over the weekend, put in all my gauges, and black interior.

Am I going to be fine with the stock rail stock lines? I have an feed lines from the filter but that's it as of now. Also I plan on staying on plugs and wires just gonna get a spark box like a dynatex? Don't know how to spell it lol

[Halon]

The stock fuel lines should be fine. The bottle neck will be the banjo bolt coming out of the filter. Getting a new feedline that ditches that banjo bolt should be enough, I'd just run -6. For more reassurance you could upgrade to a higher flowing filter while you are at it too. That's how I ran with my 62mm setup, worked just fine and isn't too rough on the wallet.

Looks good Nick! Going to be an awesome project!

Let me know if you ever want any help.

[CornFed2.4]

Thanks those are the small things I wanna get figured out while the motor is being put together.

I'll let ya know for sure. I'll need help with the BAP for sure and now maybe running an lines.

Thanks

[turbotalon1g]

I'd leave the lines unless a 2g has extra small lines. Plenty of people have made over 600 on stock lines,

You can calculate pressure drop across the lines and then the head pressure needed to push it up to the fuel rail and determine if your pump is enough. If it is similar in nature to a 3000gt/stealth at around 11' of 5/16" feed line, you are looking around 4psi pressure drop at 448 lb/hr of flow, with a velocity of 4.81 feet per second (starting to get very swirly)

How much power are you looking to push with your fuel pump? The walbro 450 should be better than my DW301 and my DW301 +1000cc's should support around 600AWHP without getting a hardwire around 35psi base fuel pressure or 25psi boost pressure (flow rating at 60psi).

Simply put, you'll only need lines if you want to help your fuel pump out. With injectors that size, I'd be more worried about return line sizing and fuel pressure regulator sizing to ensure you can get the baseline fuel pressure to a level of sanity.

[CornFed2.4]

Yeah I think with this pump the BAP is really not needed but we will se. I know scheides uses one on his 400. Also came with the car so I didn't buy it. The line to the fpr is an not sure size and the return is an but not to the tank.

So you think I should just get a an an line back to the tank and leave the feed alone.

Thanks guys for the help already. I wanna really put the money where it's needed. So tgis is definitely helpful.

As far as power 600hp on Shanes dyno would be cool

[CornFed2.4]

Stupid iPhone

[asshanson]

I think the stock feed line should be ok for that level. I wouldn't mess with the return until you get the fuel system working, then see how low you can get for base pressure. If you can low 40s with the walbro 450, then no need for a bigger return.

Is the new walbro 450 the same physical size as the walbro 400? Do you have flow rate comparisons between the two? Or is it just 50 more lph than the 400? If so I may be tempted to purchase one myself, it's a direct replacement for my OEM pump (same dimensions).

V8Killa huh? We can test that

Kidding, looks like this is going to be a sweet build. Best of luck!
