Mono ProjectZ Time Attack Build Journal

Hi guys, this is still an on going process. I've actually just received the packages from AAM Competition yesterday, so I am going to post more pics of the detail installation. Anyway, let's just take a look at these Bad Boys. Thanks Marken from AAM for making my days "thumbs up!"


Just arrived at 11Motors at Baldwin Park, CA for the turbo installation. Now, if you are going to find good work, this is the place and I mean it. I can't express in words how good these guys work. They are so meticulous with their stuffs, they actually lie every single nuts and bolts on a dedicated table so they don't miss anything on the reinstallation process. They marked every torqued bolts after they installed them. Their floors are always clean, it's freakin JDM man.




This splitter made by Built 2 Apex is actually the second version that goes on the car. I'll have more detail pics for you once I have it disassembled. Extremely sturdy that I can stand on it, seriously.


Look at those eye candies, atleast for me they are


One of my favorite turbo from BorgWarner, check it out guys!


Look at those blades and no, you do not want to put your fingers in there.


Twin blades, am I seeing things?








Awesome intercooler guys! Way to go AAM Competition, love your products man!

Finally, I have some updates with the car today. Both the bumper and the transmission is off the car now. The motor and the factory fuel tank should be off the car by tomorrow. The factory fuel tank is not needed anymore as you may know that I am going with an ATL fuel cell.




The splitter after it's detached from the car.






This is one of the splitter bracket from the driver's side


One of the brake duct leading to the Caliper, we are working on a better one though. I'll keep you posted


Hey guys, the motor is out! If you have keen eyes, you would noticed the AC delete and the belt is running a different configuration


Just got some pics from the shop as they were test fitting the turbos on the motor. I've been trying to get them to get me more pictures since I have been busy with my job and can't be there to document the installation. I am hoping to get more details of the installation tomorrow.


another pic of the turbo from the passenger side.




Here's a shot of the turbo from the driver side. As you can see the clutch kit is still factory, but the racing one is going in there soon.




More pics will be updated in the following days when the turbo kit is being installed.....

The car when it was first purchased


Moton Club Sport has finally arrived! These bad boys really make my day, until installation problems


First of all, Moton does not supply top hats and I did not realize that, and it does not fit the factory top hat. As you can see, the damper's shaft is too wide to go through. What was Moton smoking?


Fortunately, a friend of mine at V2 Competition hooked my up with Buddy Club whom made extremely impressive top hats that fits perfectly with Moton's supplied sandwiching washers.


Btw, did I tell you that one of it's shaft is shorter then the other making it impossible to fit the top locking nut?


They had to send me one of these sandwiching locks which doesn't really look good at all. It doesn't match the others.


Here's how the others look like.


Anyway, I am quite happy and excited once they're installed


more pics.


My first attempt to make the ever so flimsy splitter lol, it works at Buttonwillow Raceway though, but I doubt it's going to work over 140 mph lol. Pleas note that the second version made by Built 2 Apex is incoming, with pics.


You may ask how I determined the size out front, just find anything you can that works "giggles".


A few pics of the finish product, what do you guys think?






Apologize for the lack of details on the process of building the safety cage by Pit Garage in El Monte CA, but here's some finished pics. If you can't find them, please pm me. Hope you guys like it.


Look closely, you might notice that all the sound deadener's been taken out with dry ice. I do have a small video of it, but I am too lazy to upload to youtube.
























One of my favorite color, do you guys go with this color as well?


With the Odyssey PC680 battery relocated as well.


Probably be a good idea to cover it up on the possitive side.














The car getting its first ever corner balance and alignment by a dear friend Steven, and he doesn't want to charge me, but I've always paid a man hard a work "thanks Steven, you da man"


Who here doesn't want to take these home? I am not the only one, I know. Please say it


I am not going to lie, these BBK from StopTech does its job impressive well. A friend with an S2k equipt Willwood BBK told me that his brakes doesn't brake that way this Z brakes, having driven him in my car once. And he was using the same CarboTech brake pads that I used.




This is an add-on equipment that does camber and toes. Incase you are wondering, I had my cambers at -3 all around just to try it out.


Here's the total weight when it was done, please be aware that the wheels are not on the car due the designs of the equipment.
