If you don't want to cut holes. Think you will end up with a new hood.

Na, it will be TracSpec vents like you and Bob have.

Went by to get a 5000lb winch and they were all sold out. Just my luck. They were on sale too.

I bought a CHAMPION 3650W/4500W GEN 240V RV generator for $280 from Tractor Trailer Supply.

That is what I have. It works like a champ and starts the 2nd pull just about everytime.

I got my new CSF radiator and 2 more liters of OS Giken diff fluid today from Z1 Motorsports. I didn't pay for Saturday delivery. Now that's what you call service. WOW.

After Bob's little track fiasco, I am having all of my oil lines upgraded to XRP Racing lines via MA. They are already using them for my fuel system they are building.

Just found this thread ... haven't read all the way through it yet but will offer this post for now.
My car is at MA-Motorsports as well.
They built the sleeved block with their design 11:1 CR Pistons and Carrillo H Rods.
JW Stage 2 exhaust cams.
CJM Stage 2 Fuel Rails
CJM Twin 450 Fuel Pumpsl
CJM Intercooler
E-85 flex fue
AAM Stage 2 EFR 71/63 Turbos with external waste gates
AAM upper intake
AAM oil pan
Ecutek Tune
Quaife LSD with MA-M diff cooler
OS Giken twin disc clutch

Dyno'd at 667 rwhp on their Mainline Dyno which reads 17% less than the more common Dyno Jet.
This translated to 780 rwhp on a DynoJet
Calculating BHP using Fuel Flow it came up to 1K BHP. (this factors out to 850 rwhp with a 15% hp loss due to the drivetrain)

4 boost settings on the EVC6 controller = 13 psi spring pressure | 16 psi | 20 psi | 25 psi |
My goal was 800 to 850 rwhp so I'm happy with that. The car is still streetable and reliable.

I did go down to test drive the car a few weeks ago to shake it down and find the little bugs that need attention.

The car is awesome so far - but the turbo's smoke due to poor oil drain - the location and angle of the drain from the turbo's into the oil pan does't allow for sufficient (gravity) drainage.

MA-M will have the car for a little while longer to fix that and to put in a roll bar.

Will be following your build with Great Interest !!!

all part of it ... mines been at MA-M for an inch shy of 2 years as well ...
prior to that it was at AAM for almost 2 years as well ...
AAM blew the built motor and tried to cover it up.
That's why it's now at MA-M and I Highly recommend these guys.

You've probably seen my car down there ... it's the PG one with the 17" wheels and big tires.

A few pointers with the AAM kit
The location of the turbos aren't conducive for efficient oil drain = turbo smoke
If you have the EFR 71/63's you definitely need the larger I/C and may want to go with external waste gates because they 'modify' the IWG actuator linkage by bending it for clearance.
I've been advised by MA-Motorsports that this can be potentially dangerous.

Good Luck with your build !!!

You're the guy that is in my way. LOL I am probably not going to make my HP goals but that is OK. I am going to limit my boost to 18psi since I don't have a closed deck block or an aftermarket intake. We shall see what it makes. I think MA and the machine shop are learning more about these engines as they go and this has delayed mine a bit. I am fine with that. I am expecting to see about 650hp on their dyno. That would be 760hp on a dynojet.

Mine was in the Machine Shop 6 months +
Learned not to count when I'm waiting

Mine has been in there for 6 months now. It will be there a couple more weeks for sure. I bought a junk yard engine to build off of. Thank goodness I still have my car at home. I will bring it up when they let me know.

That might be my car they're finishing up ...

USAF 1966 ~ 1970
Nakhon Phanom RTAFB SEA '69 ~ '70

yep, I'm'a old guy

Phunk's friends (Can't remember his user name) car made 818hp at 18.5lbs of boost on a dynojet with his tubular exhaust headers and GT3076 snails. I am very curious to see how mine does.

Here his build is.

He also has the 1/4 record at the moment.

The more I look at Streetz's dyno graphs I think we have a restriction on the exhaust side. I wish someone would measure the restriction in the exhaust manifold compared to the boost psi. This would tell us the ratio of backpressure to boost pressure. When it get's out of whack and is not keep close to a 1:1 ratio bad things will happen. Phunks's tubular exhaust manifold and his turbo size/exhaust housing AR must be on point to have made what it did on only 18.5 psi of boost on a stock engine. There is something to learn here. The more HP you can make on lower boost pressure is a big positive.

Well crap. I looked up the Stage 2 Xona Rotor turbo's and they are only good for 800hp at the crank. At a 15% drivetrain loss that would be 680hp at the wheel. On the mainline dyno this would mean only 564hp at the wheel. Looks like I will be 86hp short at the wheel. We shall see if my calculations are correct. Not sure if I want to react and get 2 bigger turbo's or just stick with what I have.

I need to think about this.

In your early 70's?

Do It!

How the heck did Streetz make 818hp on only 18.5lbs of boost and a stock block. Seb had to make it happen via timing. I am scratching my head on this one.

Definitely had some good ethanol fuel in system; notice AFR readings :ugh2:

There is way more to it than that. Most folks are having to run in the 20psi of boost or more to make in the 800hp range.

How much boost did it take to run the 667 rwhp? Your highest of 25psi?

Turning 71 right after Christmas ... and you ?

Carl told me that was the threshhold where hp increase fell off substantially.
They stopped increasing the boost when there was less than 10 hp increase per pound of boost.
He said that both the turbos and the fuel were maxed out...so it is what it is.
Forgot to mention that I'm running the ID 1300's (functioning at 85% duty cylce) since it will primarily be a pump gas car (few E-85 stations close by me in N.J.)
I probably won't have the opportunity to run it at 25 psi too often.

I will inquire about the specifics on the boost near the end of the week when I check on the progress... I'm more interested in getting the car finished up - the small details can be time consuming.

Since Daelen left a few months ago (he was the go-to guy) and they've moved to a new space in the same complex - the workload has increased and info has been slower in coming. Jon is now wearing a couple of more hats.

They did a dyno run before and after the installation of the CJM Intercooler but that was a few months apart but the results were pretty much the same on the E-85.

As Ray has always said - don't worry about the numbers - the proof is in how it drives.

I’m on the stock motor still with the stage 2 fast intentions kit. Made 717 on 16psi. Turbos still have more left. You should be alright.

62

I already made the decision earlier tonight. I am going to stay the path that Daelen and I decided on in the beginning. I have spent enough. We shall see what I get. If I can make 622-650hp on their mainline dyno, I will be happy. That will be 720-750hp range on a dyno jet.

One thing is for sure. I will not run out of fuel. I will run out of turbo first. I have looked all over the place and have not found a Fast Intentions stage 2 turbo kit on a built motor with 11:1 compression. We will all find out where the limits of these turbo's are.

:icon14: Wow you’re up early :ugh:

I guarantee that your biggest issue is gonna be finding traction; You’re gonna have to keep plenty of rubbers laying around :icon17:

You mean I was supposed to go to sleep???? What fun is that?

That is all in the right foot. LOL

If you've a mind to have me - I'd be honored to be a part of 'The Seasoned Crew' here

Welcome to the party. :tiphat: You're far enough down that rabbit hole.

Stage II Fast Intentions and Stage II AAM are pretty close in actual performance.
You should be good to === GO ===
Daelen talked me in to a few things to keep my build within my goals and budget but without going overkill.
Daelen was a fan of high compression - he built his own 370z NA with 12.75:1 CR.
I had originally wanted to go 10:1 and was considering the 4.0 L stroker.
But that would've doubled the cost of the build and added another 6 months or so on to it as well.

It's the Young Bucks Club. LOL No old farts allowed.
