harley-jm Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Cheers. Looks good in the redline feature - well done to RXV8! Got the car MOTed and on the road again and planned to run it that way for a while but was disappointed with the power . Rigged up a wideband A/F meter and found it was running pig rich. It was better after a rejet but still disappointing but then I found out the throttle was only opening about 2/3 and that has made all the difference! Lots of loverly torque! It is still not revving quickly enough though so I may also add some more advance. Very impressed with the TRD diff. However, it is back off the road again as I have ripped out the fuel system to fit an Aeromotive fuel pump/regulator, bigger hard fuel lines, ali fuel cell and aeroquip fittings. Added a boost referenced ignition retarder. Also I've decided I cant wait to hook up the procharger so I've got a custom holley 750 blow through carb coming from CSU in US. Fitted a new power steering pump and pulley spacers so I'm trying to crack on to get it all done...... Will post it up when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 May as well get it the way you want it while the weather is rubbish. What power are you ultimately looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Very impressive work and attention to detail! Can't say I'm a fan of the blister guards or the rear wing, but the end product is certainly unique - and if you're happy, it really doesn't matter what others think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Not wanting to be picky but the prop hoop really needs to be round, not even oval, the force in a prop letting go is quite impressive!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harley-jm Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 sorry - I keep getting distracted by other projects but I am now focusing on finishing this as I want to go back to the Ring in October. Went last year and only finished the car the night before! The engine wasn't fully speced so I have now sold it and I'm looking at stroker sbc short block kits that can hold up to 1000+bhp. I won't make that much power with the procharger DSC1 but I may upgrade that later. I will probably go with an engine kit from Scott Shafiroff in US. I have been collecting parts in the interim including fuel cell, carbon seats, boot, wing and diffuser, stainless duel exhaust with cut outs and cross over and solid diff mounts from Titan. I also added a wastegate and electronic boost control rather than mess about changing pulley's all the time. I will update again soon.
