Road to 400whp. UPDATED! 7/13/07 Lots of pics

[b-potent]

lengthen and reroute wires. In my case since im running my megasquirt as a full standalone, i made my own harness to my liking. Still not done with all the wiring, but i'll post pics when the car is running, im gonna keep things real real clean and tight knit. I think i've developed OCD somewhere along this build, haha. Peace

where on gods green earth did you get those headlights?????????????? and how much did you get your Takata's for?? I know they go for around $400 a piece!

i retrofitted my stock headlights with mercedes e55 hid projectors, its almost done, but will be the last thing to go on the car. I have not ordered my takatas or bride seats yet, more than likely sometime this year when it goes out for paint. Takatas retail for $400......doesnt mean you have to pay that for them, i actually have a buddy that gets stuff wholesale for me if need be. Thanks for the comments guys, sorry about the picture quality, its the only camera i have. My friend is a professional photographer, i will get with him for a photoshoot when the car is on the road. Feel free to ask questions, suggest, constructive criticize. Peace!

takatas are what?

[b-potent]

takata=best racing harness money can buy, rated at 300mph. They are also JDM which probably adds on to the price.

VERY clean set up so far. I love the harness tuck. I might end up doing that to my project car as well. Just so much engine bay! gotta love it.

JACK.

You say that youre running the stock block.. Do you mean stock bottom end? Stock BP pistons/rods?

[b-potent]

everything inside that block and head is stock, BUT i had a few pieces subzero cryo'd for reliability for the amount of boost i am gonna run.

[ryan1]

that's how i want to run my external wastegate, except my escort does not have enough room in the front of the engine bay. that manny looks like my ssauto miata manny, but your looks like its made out of better quality pipes and just copyed the design of the ssauto manny.
thanks ryan

B-PO , is it a ssauto manny? do you have and pics of the manny by it self?
thanks ryan

[jamaican]

don't know if this was mentioned.. but what kind of axles are you using?

[b-potent]

thanks ryan

im sorry man, didnt realize you asked me a question. Yea its an ss auto mani, flipped and reinforced. I'm probably gonna get a custom manifold made eventually out of the same material that the full race manifolds use, its much better quality but they cost so much $$$$. Here are some extra pics of the mani. Peace

and Jamaican, i am using stock axles, they hold up just fine.

well nice setup b-potent i kind of did what u did stock BP nothing done what soever on a f-series trans running a 12.8@110 on 18psi. but i like what u are doing u seem to be screw it i want all out power.

[b-potent]

Snapped some new pics with a new camera, came out pretty damn good. Updates on my car, its almost done, should start up in a few days. I mounted my aluminum civic radiator with the fal slim fan. The wiring on the car is done, i just need a new disty connector. I also got a new high flow fuel rail made locally, since it was more convenient, came out real nice. Cant wait to drive her, its killin me. Enjoy the pics. Peace

DAMN!!!! I want your manifold can't wait to see some numbers from that beast!!! keep up the great work jon
