Helping a member on his V-12 Jag project that will have Twin Turbos and a Doug Nash 5 speed (might be a Richmond 6 speed) in his special body XKE Jaguar.
This guy is a FABRICATOR. AMAZING WORKMANSHIP! Boost system will be the easiest part of the whole deal he has been working on. Has his Pontiacs but this is a special toy with boost. Assuming +1000 HP for the V-12. Believe it is a 6 liter engine (366 cid or so). Tom V.

Redoing mine but it's purely street. Nothing like some of these guys. More of a freshen up but changing quite a few things I knew were wrong from day one.. I have another project I just picked up but it doesn't have its place here unless anyone's interested in an 88 RX7 LS single turbo swap?

changed my rear cover today: Saved the Redline Shockproof because it looks new ( probably re-use it in the 95 Lincoln Towncar).
Brought my 10' manometer home from work, need to hinge it at the 6' level for practicality. Maybe get back on the on-demand boost. It'sa 2- Stage jobby, jusy above hobo level. |

My 79 Trans AM with EFI and a turbo has been sitting a few years now, got side tracked putting LS engines in two mustangs I have. I have too many projects and need to slim the heard.
Anyone interested in a PHS documented 1976 Black on black 455 4sp car with a rear console? I may sell that one to fund the other projects LOL.

Research and nothing else. I’d like to build a single setup, but I’m too afraid of windowing a perfectly good block that has near stock internals.

Trying to work out if I have the energy to build a set of manifolds to run a BW S475 T6 1.01 on my 400.... ATM it's a quite healthy street car at 11.7 @ 115 @ 3700lb, so i'm torn to pull it apart as I can drive it anywhere as it is now but boost is the worst drug on the market today.

I have taken a break from my 74 after hurting it at Norwalk. Apparently 25 psi was more than what the stock mains wanted.
But I have been playing with my lemans wagon with the gt45 turbo and bone stock 350. At Norwalk I ran a best of 15.3 with it on 7psi. Since then I added meth injection and turned boost up to 14 psi. First outing with the boost up it went a 14.2 but it wouldn't rev over 4k rpm. So I threw newer stiffer valve springs in it and that seemed to fix that issue, next time out it went 13.5. It was missing out a little at high rpm. So I updated the stock hei with a 6al box and a hotter coil, along with building a 2 step to launch on more boost. That seems to have fixed the miss and I can launch on boost now. But weather has not permitted me to go back to the track. I also put in an exhaust cutout to test the difference between super quiet turbo muffler and open exhaust. Hoping for a 12 my next outting if weather holds! Junk stock engines you don't care about are a blast to beat on. I have a good running spare 350 for when this one kicks the bucket I got for free! |

Swapping from Blow-Thru to FAST EFI. I get to start the tuning process all over again.
Also trying to fix all the little things that broke this year that I just put a "band-aid" on. Its amazing how many little things need minor attention after a year of beating on this thing.
