this is my drag car. i bought it off Mike Naylor (trublugt) to do burnouts in quiet streets.
i got mike to rip out the Clevo 383 and im putting in my spare Phoon motor

i can get 450rwkw before the Std bottom end fails. and the turbo is good for nearly that too (with modifications to actuator and gate). so sticking with stock motor and GT3540, but ill need oil pump gears because stock ones fail at under 350rwkw or so


i dont have the full mod list yet, getting that soon from Mike

BA F6 motor
Barra to Powerglide bellhousing
Nitto intake plenum (with billet fuel rail)
Siemens Deka II 60Lb injectors
6 Boost high mount manifold (ceramic coated)
GT3540 (ported actuator)


TO DO:

cooling system
→ Keep radiator
→ electric water pump? runs in line... not direct replacement

turbo stuff
→ oil/water lines → custom SPEEDFLOW lines required
→ intake plenum → Nitto → PURCHASED
→ intercooler & piping
→ GT3540
→ dump → purchase SMB or manufacture?
→ exhaust
→ BOV → SSQV ? (to piss off pingpingpingpings)
→ Pod filter mounted/bolted in scoop with intake directed to it

fuel system
→ injectors → Siemens Deka II 60Lb injectors (run out at 350rwkw) → PURCHASED
→ fuel pump → Aeromotive 'red' series 1100hp EFI

engine
→ motor should be fine to bolt up
→ serpentine belt path / length (just harmonic balancer and alternator)
→ bigger throttle body? 80mm? 3” = 76.2mm
→ get oil sensor off Bainy !!!
→ oil pump gears

electrical
→ engine looms into cabin
→ wire in Motec ecu
→ purchase Motec SDL (dash)
→ sensors!!!!!
→ utilise the fly by wire electronic throttle option?

driveline
→ buy powerglide
→ high stall
→ bellhousing to suit motor → Dellow Automotive → PURCHASED

the car


the new motor to go in



car ran 8s with the Clevo pumping out 650hp, ill be looking at 500+ with the phoon motor setup.
once i get a handle on driving it, ill up the power/mods and the times should get better

oh and big thanks to gerrin for 'finding' this for me appreciate it

i got bored and put R34 GTR rims on it... well the front, cos the rear rims/tyres weigh as much as me... so just front were done

Looking good, be sure to keep us posted.

Hope to see it on Speedweek sometime.

no street rego, its a 100% drag car

Put a reverse american style scoop as they look sick

What gearbox is going behind this beast?

Matt,
I guess you'll need a 'crew'

seems abit of a better start then an XG

will be good to see

i love capri's!! such a hot shape.
was it a 383 or a 393 clevo in it previously?

i would prefer the v8 myself but hey.

but a dragspec f6 capri sounds pretty f**k kool

tocchi you are a deadset nutter.... gonna be f**k sick
once its done.... glad ya got rid of that XG (nothing against
XG owners)

micky, its getting a reverse cowl

running a powerglide


wild ef, the NA 8s are good for a decent time, the fast cars are running FI.
turbo 6 > NA 8


matt, the XG was bombed, wrx seats and fpv starter button ftmfw haha

Nice project you've got there. What class will you be running in?

SS/BB
or efi class

When do you hope to have her ready for racing? Next season?
