Nice dude! I don't think the reliability is gonna be the problem. more so the increased competition. The faster you go the more money you spend. Full builds. Not just power but all around builds that work together. Your gonna be racing some ballerz that don't go out for 30 min sessions but out for the warm up flying lap cool down on fresh sets of tires... good luck tho.

 

If you're using the stock diff, I bet it''ll blow if you're driving it hard with 450+whp. Your torque will be in the 300+wtq with E85. But then that'll give you an excuse to get a Puddy mod diff!! The trans will be a more diffucult replacement because there really isn't anything out there that is reliable right now. G-force? V160? PPG gears? Thats about it, unless you want to do an awesome Sequential shifter.

What clutch are you planning on running Devin?

 

I have one of the few boosted s2000s that have proven to hold up to track duties (thanks to CKit) and I have been modding like crazy just to get this thing to handle the power. I have a link to many photos of the build in my sig and its not a easy task. I have heard of and seen many builds from reputable companies go boom due to the limitations of cooling in the block. Having it sleeved and coolant flow improved is pretty much a must. Airflow to the radiator and oil cooler is also very important. The angled design from SOS looks very promising and similar to my setup. I wish you the best!

Yes i feel V mount is a must, Im going to be the prototype tracked turbo kit for their kit so ill keep you posted.

Yes who are you telling, Some of these guys will only run once or twice the entire day because "the dont feel threatened" so i have my work cut out of me but im excited for the challenge! Who doesnt like a david vs goliath story

I have spoken to puddymod and inline pro and my stage 1 Puddy mod diff should handle, I wont be lunching the car or anthing like that. Yeah the trans will be the drivetrain weak point, ive been thinking about WPC treatmenting it but I dont know. I have a stage 2 Competition clutch at the moment

yes i love their v mount set up, might be a little pricey right now but its done very well, I also feel tha v mounting is the only way to keep this thing cool

 

here is a photo of the downpipe and manifold almost done

 

I think this build might go better in the Forced induction forum until it's actually running.

Kind of like the Andrew Wojtecko build that never even made it to the racetrack….

 

I just read through that thread last week. I was hoping it had actually made it on track by now.

 

There are pictures on Facebook every now and then. Most of these builds (I'm guilty of this) look so epic then just before completion just never get completed. I finished the K24 build. It just made marginally more power then a F22 and when I went to the track it was only marginally faster. So I took it apart again and actually put it back together. Just never started it.

 

Ian I couldn't find that J35 swap kit you spoke of.

 

Devin,

Drop WHP and let's meet a Nationals in TT2 next year!
