Hilo service and speed / AFI goodness

[pplh8r]

Hey guys,
I promised I would document a few projects that I have coming up. The first has just arrived and Iam very excited to get started.

A customer of mine recently purchased this chassis from another local racer. The car has run a best of 9.8 with about 600hp on tap. My customer did not need the powerplant so he just bought it as a roller.

I will be making a new water to air intercooler with piping, fuel cell, catch can, down pipe and a few other odds and ends. Luckily my customer decided to buy a really kickass manifold from AFI and a new Garrett. The rest is up to me !!
Stay tuned

And for you nature lovers the next project is going to be all motor.

[javierb14]

Nice, looks like it's going to make more than 600hp this time around!

[jghiurau]

600? that thing looks like it should make 1000+

[Mr.Burner]

Looks and actual out-put is a whole different story, and shouldnt this be in the "members rides" or the "the project garage"???

This section is for questions buddy. just sayin lol And be careful using the "customer" name drop as you are not a vendor and mods dont like that shit.

Other then that sweet set up.

LOL !!
I live in Hawaii I think Iam safe for the vendor stuff.
I will be fabricating alot of stuff for this car so I think I have the post in the correct section.

The motor in the picture last made around 850 hp without the new turbo and the new intercooler. Iam hoping for at least 900 hp this time out . We shall see though !!

Long time no see Javier !! This is AKA BTW !!

[AFFIRace]

In the right place for sure! I cant wait to see all the fabricated parts for this. Is that some sort of weighted square tube up front for traction?

Yeah
I thiink its filled with lead shot or something similar. Its very heavy !!

[javierb14]

Ya man, long time for sure. Must be nice building turbo cars in Hawaii! I'll make it out there one of these days.

[honduh_head]

Damn that looks badass!!! Can't wait to see it all done!

[AFFIRace]

I'll make it out there one of these days.

[pplh8r]

The even have a track in Hawaii?? or are you on a diff island?

[pplh8r]

I live on the " Big island" of Hawaii . We have a track here but it rains quite often so sometimes we dont have racing for several months depending on the weather.
I will be starting on the intercooler this week some time so I will keep you guys up to date.
Aloha

[Mr.Burner]

Sweet thats what i figured... They just need a huge canopy over the track and pits lol aloha

[honduh_head]

AFI group vacation!

[pplh8r]

So here is what I have so far !
I really have to get this car out of my spare bay so I should have updated pics again soon.

This is about where the intercooler is going to sit when done.

Looks like it will be a fast car when it's done.. Even has some weight reducing hawaii rust on the bolts! :)

Obviously a hot rod style project?

[pplh8r]

Basically done with this thing.
Still need to mount seat and then the owner is taking it from here. I will try to get a final picture once he runs all the coolant lines,wiring etc.
