a few more pics from today
big thanks to jmf for sending me an intake manifold for mock up : )

 

i thought you'll use a F20C

 

how in gods name is that manifold holding the weight of that turbo ?

 

Lots of high quality work in so many areas of the car... That intake manifold is awesome. I'd love to see this in person when it's done.

 

what no f20? or f22?

 

yea, i have an f20c for sale. it would of cost me too much to run it, the wire hardness and sensors were all burnt plus i would have to use an aem ems and it would probably cost me 5k on a built motor. i had this motor sitting in my garage good for 800hp, with stock computer with ecmlink. its gonna cost me under 15k with the car to go low 9s

 

Looks like the gold rod is holding it up in one of the pics. Probabl a strut with rod ends

 

Nice build man! You have an excellent path for a sub 9 second car with the right drivetrain. A friend had a 42R GST and he said hes familiar with your DSM. I agree with your comment on the cage lol. Looks like we have a Brent Rau successor using somethin other than an Eclipse. Very different

 

haha far from Brent Rau but my brothers car went 9.6 with a 1.68 60ft weighting 2960 pounds my car will most likely make the same power if not more : ) hopefully weight around 2700 and cut 1.3 60ft if everything goes well. im not trying to be faster than anybody and probably will only have 15k into this car so i dont expect to come close to any of the top dogs. i have a good group of friends & family that i like to compete with but its all in fun i keep all the cars at my garage here's a video of my brothers car and my best friends 4g63 bmw e30 stock motor, i also did all the fabrication on these cars.
the 9.6 pass is at the end of the video 9.05 min
