DRC makes a great 4r70w. The one in Dominick's car has been beat to shit, run low on fluid for I think over 50k miles and it still snaps your neck with a PI converter.

A highly recommended shop!

Thanks guys! Got some more work done on the car last weekend. We got the rear end back in the car. The new brake setup is done and bled. Got the fuel system done up to the engine bay. New intercooler is installed. Hoping to have the motor back in the next week or two. Can't wait as I am about at a point where I need it to move forward. :biggthump

Fuel system installed

Rear end and rear brakes

New 78mm Turbo

Intercooler

Hey Lee! It is a -10 feed and -8 return. Easy to work with, I really like it. Here are the specs:

Fragola premium black nylon race hose Synthetic core resistant to oil,fuels,coolants,and alcohols. 500 PSI working pressure Reinforced with A single braid of 302 stainless wire braid Operating range of -40 F to +300 F Black Braided Nylon cover makes this lightweight hose both durable and attractive


What you doin to the Viper???

 

[03GTGreen]

[Shane97Cobra]

Oh snap!!! That thing is going to be a beast! Are you doing everything yourself? This summer I will trade you a ride for a ride. :biggthump

I actually have a UGR kit less the cold side. The way they do it, they cut the shit out of your car. I cant believe people pay 30-40K to have their car all cut up to put these in! So I am making new down pipes and waste gate mounts etc. The headers are nice, but one side the bolt holes dont line up well. I have to fix that too. I have to fab up the cold side, modify this intercooler I have and I should be all set. I putting in a new fuel system and I put in a new turbo cam and valve springs etc to support the turbos. I need to find someone to tune it once its all built though. Not sure who I will contact for that...perhaps sound performance? guess we will see....
I want the build done by the end of the month, get it tuned early april and I have a 3 day track event at Autobahn CC first weekend in May. Really really needs to be ready for that event! Track fees are much more expensive than byron that for sure! LOL!

And you bet I will trade you ride for ride!!

Get er done!!

Just sick man! Sounds like you are motivated to get it done! Cannot wait to see the finished product. I may have to swing by sometime.

I am still waiting on my motor but am hoping not to much longer. I need to re-do some of my cold side and make a few changes to the hot side as well. Once that is done I am going to have Hans install my BS3 and do the wiring. Then I need Bob to tune it and have Chris put a 8 point in the car. So still a lot to do but hopefully the ball will be rolling again soon.

Kinda small, J/K. I have a good friend local with twin 88's….. no matter what it will be alot of power with twin 76's with a forged motor and the right cam and tune you should be well over 1300 to the rear wheels

 

[Terminator-Fux]

Wow this car is gonna be a monster!

 

[1MEANGT]

Stopped by Paul's to drop off some parts. The motor is almost done. The short block is done. Heads are ported and done. Shouldn't be long before I can pick it up.
