Vortech Superchargers and Nitrous Express. We're all very excited to see the power numbers we can get with the supercharger-nitrous combo. As most of you know they're a great combination. This past weekend we tore the car down for paint. A couple iPhone photos to show our progress.

Engine comes out this evening

Awesome products.....btw is there a decent car scene in birmingham? I might be moving near there and wondering if its like here in wisconsin (nothing but trucks) lol

Can't say I'm too keen on the Teal color idea either, but I'm interested to see how your engine bay ends up looking! Boxer motors never look too pretty but there's definitely room for improvement with this engine bay!

Thanks!

It's good, not huge. It was huge when I was 16-18 but it died out. I have noticed an improvement here lately though.

Okay another update. Spent yesterday getting more and more pieces off that need to come out for paint. Once we have an engine hoist tomorrow the engine will be out and the car will be in paint by the end of the week.

Sorry our progress isn't as visual! It will be in the coming weeks though.

Thanks for viewing!

This just showed up

HUGE thanks to Neil Tjin and Brian Ellis at Vortech Superchargers. Cannot wait to drive the car with this plus the Nitrous Express kit.

It was always going to be that!

Eagerly awaiting your engine build. And results, hint-hint. Instrumented road tests would be terrific. Perhaps you can get one of the big name mags interested for a full performance evaluation. I'll pay for the coffee.
Do you intend to go directly to E85 tunes?
Like way subscribed!

Loving the Dominoes pizza box in the background. Can't work without food! :)

Are you guys going to have the car done in time for IA next week?

Kdej1 04-12-2013 02:42 PM
Damn.. Looks like this build is going to be very nice.. Will you guys be producing any products for the frs any time soon? (if not already)
