seriously. wtf.
jonbob's car from clubgp:
the dyno chart and graph is from BEFORE the parts you see listed all throughout here.
Holly 90MM TB
Teaser pictures of the YT Whipple IC/Adaptor:
Ya, that's an O-ring groove betwen the top plate and the Whipple... No need for paper gaskets or RTV.
The Pre-Intake show is the Aussie RWD version. The bottom plate isn't installed, to better show the size of the IC core.
Parts start to show up at my place next week, and should have everything to do a test assembly by the 2nd week of September.
Hopefully sometime in November everything will be ready to put back together, and retune.

New TB and MAF arrived today...
Holley 90mm TB.
We went with this TB over other 90mm ones that were less expensive because it has better off idle characteristics, which will make it better for a street driven car.
New 100mm MAF:
From Texas Speed... Very nicely made.

Prosche 930 CV axle flanges came in last week.

I molested your chunks of aluminum......
Nice heads aren't they?
Not likely to ever happen.
These came in earlier this week.
Pulley sizes are:
74mm (2.92") ~ 28 PSI
82mm (3.23") ~ 23 PSI
91mm (3.58") ~ 17 PSI
The drive snout will be sent out to be hard anodized black along with the inlet adaptor in about a month.
PRJ
Did anyone say billet rods? Scheduled to visit Pauter Machine aka Pauter Rods tommorow. www.pauter.com
Got the machine work done on the inlet adaptor so decided to peice everything together and snap a few more pictures before sending the inlet off to the anodizer.

Some more pictures:
Things are beginning to come together:
ZZP Aluminum heads (Bare)
JE Pistons .020 over with coated skirts
Yella Terra I\C
Frozen Boost Water to Air Intercooler Radiator - 26x7x3.5
Upgraded Mezier electricwater pump, 42 GPM, Heavy duty
Yella Terra snout with pulleys
Pauter X-beam forged Rods
Holly 90mm TB
Texas Speed 100mm MAF
Custom Whipple to TB inlet adapter
etc.
JonBob picked up some more parts today.
Some comparisons with the old L32 powedered metal rods.
Just a few more parts to go...

Inlet adaptor came back from the anodizer today... It is a nice dark graphite/grey color.

Stopped by the machine shop to talk to the guys and see the progress they have made with the ZZP Aluminum heads. (Bare) Valve seats and guides are in and look awesome! We went with Beryllium Copper alloy seats and guides. Here's some features:
Alloy 25 has the optimal material properties best suited for the intake valve environment. This alloy is 98% copper and provides sufficient heat transfer and superior strength. This alloy will transfer the necessary heat to extend the intake valve life while being able to withstand the forces applied by the intake valve upon closing.
Alloy 3 has the optimal material properties best suited for the exhaust valve environment. This alloy is more than 97% copper and provides superior heat transfer and sufficient strength. This alloy will transfer the necessary heat from the exhaust valve into the cylinder head to help prevent premature seat pitting and heat related fractures.
Custom valves will be ordered soon.
Bare heads:
No seats, or guides are installed in bare heads.

JonBob sent me a few more parts for his new transmission the other day:
New 300M output shaft (top) old stock shaft (bottom)
300M shaft minimum diameter: 0.990"
Stock shaft minimum diameter: 0.941"
Spline comparison (Bottom 300M - Machined splines. Top Stock - Rolled Splines)
New hardened and coated channel plate sleeve (The stock channel plate sleeves have a common wear issue where the input shaft wears into them. This one will not wear or gall)

Is this what your smiling about?
Custom billet crank by Kings Crankshaft.
Or would it be these?

I mean FWD is fine for me because I'm not pushing more than probably 190 whp at best. It seems like anything over 300 whp in a FWD car is an absolute waste unless it's COMPLETELY set up for drag (tube frame, huge slicks, etc etc) on a road course it is absolutely worthless because there is really never going to be a time to use more than that without roasting the front tires. I wish that he would have done an original build like that on an F-body, miata, solstice, etc etc, just SOMETHING that is RWD, or even AWD.
