Turbo Fox build..E85...Streetcar
Well after a few years of my stock block turbo adventure I finally popped a headgasket. I suppose I could of just put a new set of gaskets in, but I decided to step it up a notch.
I pulled the stock bottom ended HCI 5.0 out, sold the On3 turbo kit and all the aftermarket goodies from that engine.
My goal with this phase of the build is ~1000hp, running off E85. The turbo that I have will be pretty much maxed out at this level, but hopefully it will crank. :icon_cool I'd like to make it to the track next year for some events and actually be able to hold my own, we'll see.
First started with a set of AFR 205 heads used of a former member on here..then I picked up a shortblock setup for Nitrous with dome pistons, consisting of a Boss block, Eagle H-beams, and Eagle forged steel crank. I bought this with the intent to just change pistons and be on my merry way, but it didnt happen quite that easy.
Details of the new build so far..
Boss Block 4.125 bore (Big bore 347)
Custom Diamond Forced induction pistons. 10.25:1 Static Compression ratio
Eagle 4340 Forged 3.25 stroke
Eagle 5.4 Rods with ARP 2000 bolts
AP Steel/Napier second file fit rings
Custom Hydraulic Roller Turbo Cam spec'd by MCRP
AFR 205 58cc Outlaw heads, Inconel Exhaust Valves
Engine will be fully studded
Garrett GT4202R
Custom Hotside, flipped shorty headers
Undecided on cold side
Team Z metal Matrix K-member and A-arms
Flaming river manual rack and steering shaft
Still to be determined:
Fuel System
Cage
Rear Suspension (Probably Team Z)
Wheels
Engine Management (Leaning towards Holley HP EFI)
I've got to snap some more pictures of my current progress, but heres some to get started
Empty Engine bay
New block getting rings fitted
New turbo
I'll get my shit together later and post some better pictures of whats going on
