The time has come

[VooDoo]

OK Try this again. I am hoping to be between 550-600 HP.
I have been slowly gathering parts and changing my mind on others. Went from SAFC to MAFT to now I have an AEM.

As for the before and after with progression here is were it starts. I am looking forward to pounding the forums again for advise.

Some updates and this build is about to take off.

Just wired my shop. So got my 60gal compressor plumbed and wired. My welder wired in. So I expect to be updating this thing more than once a year.

Well got most all the interior out. Cleaned under the hood and sprayed it black. Removed a few things Cruise security horn factory boost relay. Amd put my sump in my tank. I haven't quite figured out what all I can remove going with the aem. I can say this car will see alot more track than street. Just the occasional rides on the weekend to work. Few pics....

This week plan on plumbing all the fuel lines from tank to pump and stub them out the front. Finish the inside and get it ready to get a cage built for it.

Any reason for no plenum chamber on the fan shroud?

[VooDoo]

I got the platform from Adrenaline Motorsports MKIII Twin Fan & Shroud Cooling Kit Group buy on here. I also have looked at alot of aftermarket aluminum shrouds for aftermarket elec fans. I found alot don't have them. I think if they will work on a 800 hp big block. It should be enough flow for this radiator. Grim says he get enough flow with his and he hasn't even cut his fan on. When it goes in i will make the final decision on how exactly it will be mounted. I will however look at bringing the fans back and allowing some more room to pull air.

THANKS for the input.
It is always welcome.

[VooDoo]

Well got my transmission. TH350 w/transbrake. I mocked up the ATI adapter.
http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3775/photo19fi.jpg

I am waiting on my Titan cam gears from suprasport. Unfortunately I spent money about a year ago on OBX brand. First off they don't fit the 7m properly. I also have read bad reviews on them coming apart.

I ordered my set of Corbeau FX1 Pro seats. I will start building my cage when they are installed.

[VooDoo]

Mounted my seats. Started my cage. Problem is that with sliders the seat is to high for the car and cage. SO i have made custom seat brackets and will finish up the cage this weekend. Gears came in I should be doing the final touches on the engine next week.

[roundfinger]

Any pics of the rollcage progress?

Looks like a good serious Drag build. Subscribed!

[Dani87x]

Looking great so far, keep us posted!

[VooDoo]

Still working on this cage. WOW can tell i am not a cage builder. Time hasn't been on my side. HOWEVER i spent the last 5 yrs welding. just a different world fabbing a cage. ESPECIALLY making sure it is spec and legal.
Camera is MIA. Probably in the shop dead some were. will have pics as soon as I find it.

[VooDoo]

Alright found the camera. Went and took a couple pics as it sits. Haven't had a chance to work on it for about 4 days so I still got some work to finish the cage. Im still debating on running 2 door bars. 1 on driver and 1 on passenger. Or just the drivers side. I know that both will stiffen up the chassis. However it will also add weight and work.

[applesauce]

What are you building... a rocket:biglaugh:

[92nsx]

Run the door bars. Extra weight might be 5-10 lbs (maybe a little more). Just don't eat a Wendy's triple cheese burger and fries before the race and hit the bath room ;) You can make up the difference. The stiffer chassis will be nice to have.

Nice build by the way, I will have to stop by this thread again soon to check on progress.

[suprafredde]

Plz do take a lot of pictures of the th350 swap.

This weekend will be motor finishing touches. Gonna start mounting guages and running wires.

[VooDoo]

Motor is done. Now I have to get ANOTHER stand to put it on cause mine will not work with my lift. Got my NHRA approved battery box today as well. Will have pics up tomorrow.

Looking really good Voodoo!

[JD&Co]

nice build looks awsome

[IJ.]

Be careful if you ever have to unscrew the Transdapt adaptor, I broke one in half :(

[Zumtizzle]

I like this build.

What color is that motor? :)

[sweetlikechutny]

Could I please see a picture of how the door bars are welded near the passenger footwell area ?

[VooDoo]

Motor is black. I used high- temp engine paint on the block. Valve covers and lower timing cover is powdercoated. As for the passanger door bar I'm not running the passanger side.

[DaleH]

As for the passanger door bar I'm not running the passanger side.

Got of pic of the driver side where the cross bar is welded? :icon_wink

[VooDoo]

Yea Ill have to get out and take a pic today. I don't have it welded in the door bar yet just the plate. I don't want to fight getting in and out while I'm still assembling. I just notched it and test fit it for the pic.

[Supra28]

Subscribed! Great work!

[VooDoo]

Trying to get on the ELITE ENGINE thread! Ha

[OneJArpus]

Nice motor setup i like it alot. good luck with the build :)

[VooDoo]

Holidays have seemed to slow work down. Either way, I ordered all my fittings for my trans cooler and lines. Ordered my purge kit and blow down kit for the Nitrous. Also ordered my carpet from stockinteriors.com going black.

So I am going to hook up the lines to the tranny and mount it to the motor next. Im just not sure how much im going to have to beat on the transmission tunnel to get it to fit. Soon as I can sit this thing in the car and knock it out i can concern myself with the cosmetics.

[VooDoo]

Well after all this time as I was beating and banging on the firewall and trans tunnel I really began to look at my turbo. I questioned itand thought about it and decided that It needs to be bigger. Ill be damned if I am going to not reach my goal because of my turbo. So I talked to Rob at Modular Turbo. (Great Guy BTW) And decided that the turbo for me is going to be the Turbonetics MC78 F1 65 .68 a/r. So I can expect to upgrade in other locations other than the turbo. I am now worried that I should have gotten bigger injectors. Any input on this? Currently going to use 700cc from DM.

I imagine I will be doing more work on the head after I get this running and tuned properly. I don't really feel like I cheaped out anywere.

[IJ.]

Are we there yet? :runaway:

[VooDoo]

Tell me about it. I have bought more parts and sold them as I care to even think about. What started as a DD 350 hp build has completely flipped to so much more. From apexi NERO to Maft Pro to AEM. Stock auto tranny to Built TH350 with Transbrake. I don't think I will ever be done with this damn car. I have been on it for almost 2 yrs now.

[IJ.]

LOL are we having fun yet?

[87M-GTE]

Also ordered my carpet from stockinteriors.com going black.

I would like to see some pics of how the carpet fitment is when you get it installed.

Thanks,
-Sam

[VooDoo]

So my new Turbo came in today. Man it is a beast. Thanks Rob. FYI Modular Turbo is a legit company. And Rob knows his shit.
Also got my Power steering res from BEECH, My swing out door bar clevises.

Only pic I have now.
