The vert goes under the knife

[ibstrokin]

Well I drove the car to Victory Fabrication monday, we got started swapping out the S-trim for the drivers side ysi. I'm also adding a front mount intercooler and going blow through meter. The car should be back on the street by thurs, then I'm going to do a valve spring swap and get it back to Jeff @ Precision Autosports to make sure the tune is safe. The ysi will be slowed down, but it should still make alot more power than the S(which is still for sale by the way).

I'll try to post some pics once it's installed.

Can't wait to see "Spiderman" back in action!!!! Just in time to own the streets of Bowling Green and their women!!!!!!!!!!

what block are you using in that thing?

[ibstrokin]

It's a mexican block. It's made 637 rwhp on race gas and cogs (5 speed). My goal for this year is to make enough power to dip in the 9's, on pump gas and 8 rib belt. Next year I plan on having a boss block, then step up the power.

We hit a small snag today with blower clearance and an accesory bolt. Tomorrow the bracket will get milled about .150" and that should take care the clearance issue.

So now were probably looking @ Friday. Once we can actually mount the blower we'll get started on the tubing. The intercooler is already mounted(with help from 93hulk), and bolt issues have been mostly sorted out.

Ray @ Victory Fab (victoryfab.com) has been a huge help in getting this sorted out. This would take me forever to get mounted if it was at my house. He's been involved with efi renegade for years, so he is very well versed @ custom blower mounting. He has been the crew cheif for Bob Kurgan on numerous occasions.

My brother has been a big help also, he has a cnc mill @ his house,Greyhound precision.com. He modified a vortech spacer for me so that I can still use my comp eng. engine strut. He now has some very nice software for his mill that does awesome custom engraving in aluminum. He's tz250 on here, feel free to pm him with questions about custom parts or engraving.

Damn I can't wait to see the match up!!!!!! So is it going to BG or not????

[ibstrokin]

Hopefully, I want to swap the valvesprings, and get it back to the dyno, and then (if it's still running) off to BG

[ibstrokin]

Oh yeah, you would think this thing is a construction worker, because of the way it whistles.

[Silver Bullet]

Looks good... should be fast! Why not use your cog setup on this?

[ibstrokin]

$120 a belt, Renegade cars run 8.50's on a 8 rib belt. So if I can get the car to run low 9's next yr on a 8 rib I'll be happy.

[Silver Bullet]

Wow! I only thought they was $50 a belt..... Since your post I have also been checking up on them.... it sounds like they are Hard on everything.

[kennebellcobra]

Lookin good...hope to see it in BG

[Blowpastyou]

[VictoryFab]
