[BadAssPerformance]

[Mopar318]

Looks awesome. Where is Gramps putting his car? Did he build a big garage so he could leave his cars outside???haha.

[86seeS]

Hes building a turbo 360 for the 74' charger right now

[86seeS]

Going to put the battery in the trunk so I could re use the stock air box in the battery location the pics are just a mock up but im really liking the look already. Also I finally got a dc valve cover! picking it up tomarrow along with other a few other dc parts. More to come soon

[BadAssPerformance]

Looking good. Need to get you some black zip ties.... wait, don't I have a box of DC zip ties somewhere? LOL ;)


Where are you planning to mount the battery box and kill switch?

[blk86trbo]

Looks nice Wes, the filter box looks right at home there. Have you considered putting the battery over on the other side? Placing it on the passenger side would help balance out your body weight, plus putting weight behind the rear wheels is the worst place to add it on a FWD. Really really coming along good man :clap:

[86seeS]

Looking good. Need to get you some black zip ties.... wait, don't I have a box of DC zip ties somewhere? LOL ;)

I actuall have dc zip ties hahaha im not going to run the zip ties I have brackets to mount the wiring on just dont know if I like them or not the red zips are just temps. Not sure on where the battery is going to be mounted yet possibley in the spare tire well and vent it out the sunroof drip tube holes near the rear tire wells

[BadAssPerformance]

If you relocate the battery (anywhere other than in the engine compartment) and plan to drag race it, its gotta be in an approved battery box and you need an on/off kill switch on the back of the car.

[86seeS]

I could put the switch beside the plate under the hatch plenty of room there

[BadAssPerformance]

Yep... and then all your firends can mess with you ;)

[86seeS]

Ya I expect that lol

[BadAssPerformance]

It'll be easier to hunt down than the MAP, LM, O2, CTS, etc, etc gremlins from last year, LOL ;)

[86seeS]

And it being the fuel pump the whole time.... Ive never been so pi$$ed off at a car lol I changed the map, o2, pressure reg, fuel rail, water temp sensor, fuel filter, swapped lm chipps, and the fuel pump it was a fun 2 days at SDAC 20

Uh, technically it wasn't the pump but the rubber sleeve isolator deteriorating from what you showed me at SDAC:p:lol:...

[86seeS]

True that what a stroke of luck I had

[Reeves]

Yep... and then all your firends can mess with you ;)

If he had any.......

[DC Turismo]

So what other DC parts did you pick up today??? The suspense is killin' me hahaha

[BadAssPerformance]

OOOOoooohhh.......





Just messing with ya Wes! Couldn't let that one slip by....

LOL, there's gonna be a line of us waiting to shut it of fon him now ;)

BTW, on-off switch? Pro class? :D

[86seeS]

[Mopar318]

[minigts]

haha That setup looks so cool man, I can't wait to see this car in person! BTW, don't get your hopes up on those wires. I have that exact set and the FACTORY crimp at the plug came out, so just be careful with them. If at all possible, try and use as little of the coil wire as you can so you'll have spare for when one needs to be fixed. Just ask me how I know. :)

[shelbyconcepts]

Wes,

I stopped by Mopar318's and checked out the seats.... Really retro... and I like it.....

Tim29477

[86seeS]

Hahahahaha glad you like them

[cordes]

That is super retro. Between all the vintage stuff and the retro affect the new stuff will have this is going to be a killer car.

[86seeS]

Lol those are NOT my seats. Me and tim were at the indy mopar swap meet this weekend and we seen these.... Some kind of pimp my ride throwback crush velvet disaster

I'm sure that will be cool too. I saw the green on the hatch and then saw those seats. I thought it was a brave move on your part, but the period correct nature of it would have been awesome.

[86seeS]

Those seats were in a challenger

Those seats were in a challenger

Towed by a Street Van of course.

We sold our street van last week for 4k went to a good home

Wow, I didn't put it together that you were the guy on here who was selling one. For your dad right? I was really referencing that the Challenger with those seats would have gone well with one.

Is that stainless?
Could you make a really good 1:1 scan of it?
I might be able to laser some of those out at work in SS or Alum. !

I think Tim said he 10 of them? Guy made them on a plasma or torch cutter. Laser or water jet would be cleaner though.

I'm a super cheap guy, but I could probably spare a few bucks for one of those in SS.

What LM are you running i have 2 p4529870 (1985 2,2 turbo 1 mp intercooler) one still in the box

[86seeS]

87 LM custom cal

[Aries_Turbo]

does it have the paired cyl scale thing or are you running mismatched injectors?

[86seeS]

mismatched +20 and +40

[Aries_Turbo]

isnt that a little bit much or have others tried that combo and have it work?

later +40's are more like 58lb vs the 52lb advertized size.

i would have thought +40's and 2 DSM injectors would be a little more matched to the actual requirements.

[Johnny]

I just went through this thread for the first time. Enjoyed looking!!!!!
Nice car!

[86seeS]

Thanks johnny you should be able to check it out at sdac this year

[vntned]

PURE MOPAR PORN!

I got worried there when I saw the pics of the green seats(kinda threw up in my mouth a bit). Thank goodness you didnt do that. I think some black vinyl roll and pleet would be pure sex in that car. Im super in love with this project(wanna trade for my CSXT?!)!

[86seeS]

Thats what its getting black vinyl sides the center is pleated cloth embossed checkerd pattern with dc logo in the headrests. So the whole seats black the logos silver and the top stich is silver. Should have some pics soon

[86seeS]

Door pannels done!

[86seeS]

Floors are fixed up. there wasnt much rust but it was popping up from the frame rail so it was cut above the rail and patched. Came out good just needs grinded down and seam sealed up. Shifter hole is also welded up so the 555/520 shifter car be put in this week. Heres a few pics

sweet thats the same tip i have on the page. bought it new in the box., had the red decal around where the black met the chrome. bummer was the decal was put on crooked and from being it the box so long part of it was worn.

You can get new ones for 6.00 online

[86seeS]

[vipernbox]

Ok... it is settled... Mine needs a bigger spoiler also... I like that.. :)

[86seeS]

The dc wings are odd there made of rubber and you need the drill 6 holes in the hatch to bolt it up

[cordes]

Looking good Wes. I really like how it is coming together. Thanks again for showing it to us when we were in the area. I can't wait until it's finished.

[vipernbox]

Ahhh crap... that will never work... I don't wana drill or cut any more holes in my car... :lol:


naw.. That looks great... I am going to make something... but I really like that...

[89Aries]

Hey man nice build, I don't know if you still have the chrysler turbo valve cover with the turbo machined off, but if you're looking to sell I'm interested! I'm looking for something different.

[86seeS]

Also had the dc boost guage molded in to the air vent itll be painted and installed tomarrow

[88_pacifica]

Damn Wes... I have been gone for a long time and I'm glad you had me look at this thread. That is VERY well done and I am not easily impressed when it comes to TD's... :thumb:

[86seeS]

Thanks nate if you come to new castle tomarrow you should come check it out

[omni_840]

I like the spoiler!

[88_pacifica]

Thanks nate if you come to new castle tomarrow you should come check it out

I will do that. Let me know what time you are thinking and I'll make it happen. Thanks...

[86seeS]

Boost guage is in had it clocked so that 0 was at 12:00 so its easier to read while driving also the engine bay is compleatly done..... Finally

[5DIGITS]

Was the original T-I TB discarded to benefit from the larger/later TB or for other reasons?

There are so many nice/rare/DC classic parts on this car, an additional poll category may have been "Make a Nostalgic DC 2.2 Charger".

Thanks and nice job!

[bakes]

The only MP things I think that are missing is the MP imsa ti con rods , and the MP Nos kit, Mp oil cooler

[86seeS]

I have a set of the rods but thet are very weak. Throttle body was changed for better flow to feed the s60 turbo and also to have the ability to tune the car with an 87 electronics swaped LM

Nice! its coming along great!

[86seeS]

Rob (shelgame) figured out how to incorporate the log intake injector scaling in to the 87 Logic Moduals! So now I can run a full custom cal for the dc intercooler and the 52mm tb. Great job rob!

[bakes]

take her to 20+psi you know you want too!!!! When i had the MP OHIC on Rattrap i just loved it a t 18psi pulled hard!!!!

[86seeS]

Should pull hard since it has a S60 on board!

[ShelGame]

I just noticed - you have the DC intake on there, right? So, then, cyls 1&2 need the enrichment, not 3&4... crap, I just had it all boxed up, too.

Oh, and I set the boost for 14psi since you're only running a 2-bar. The computer can't control the boost past that point. Need a 3-bar for 20psi...

[86seeS]

What a great shot. I love that interior with the DC wheel.

[5DIGITS]

The seats look fantastic !!

[86seeS]

I recived the custom 87 logic modual from rob with the injector enrichment codes from the log cars should have the car running with in the next few days.

Let me know how it runs. I'm a little concerned about idle. Not sure how the T2 idle calibration is going to work with that intake.

[blk86trbo]

Wes, Ed...those seats look freaking outstanding. Whoever came up with the idea of embroidering that into the headrest is a genius :hail:

[Mopar318]

Wes wanted the direct connection in the headrest. A friend of Tim Costello digitized the logo and embroidered it for me. There is nothing cookie cutter about this car. It is completely unique and looked better than I imagined!

You know Wes, when you started talking about this build I was like:blah: Now that I see it 90% done I'm more like:hail: Not that many of 'us' have the vision to pull off a project like yours. Of course it has to be combined with skils and resource. Those are rare to get all three of them together on a project:thumb:

[rx2mazda]

+1

can't wait to see it in person!

[vntned]

If I saw it in person Id be arrested for charges similar to the ones PeeWee Herman got in '91(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peewee_Herman#1991_arrest)!

Im not even a big SC fan, but this car is sex on wheels!

[86seeS]

Thanks guys the hose is parts store intake hose. the car runs now! after a few small issues were fixed it started right up. Ill post up a video soon. It sounds mean with the 314 cam and open down pipe

Awesome! I had no DP at all and drove mine for a bit - loved the sound and got use to it. Putting on the exhaust was a letdown after that, but needed. Congrats - there is a great relief when it first starts up!

Hood going to be body color or black or ? Cant wait to see this car at SDAC, nice work!

[86seeS]

Body color with satin black strobe stripe on the scoop

[vntned]

Sweet. I was hoping thered be satin black on that car somewhere to break up all that green! What about the sides?

[86seeS]

Not sure on the sides yet but the lace wheels should break up the green alot

[86seeS]

Painted up and the vents are in

[88_pacifica]

Nice.... Very good work for sure. Can you still access the strut adjusters(aka, you got them in correctly)? :thumb:

[86seeS]

[bakes]

I like it as is not to over the hill .

[86seeS]

Theres just to much green I think needs broke up a little

[ohlarikd]

I think a simple blacked out top of the scoop. Like the gold one, but I would lose the stripes. On the sides of scoop, you could put Intercooled or Direct Connection or something...

[86seeS]

Stripes done

[bakes]

Ok i take back my sugestion of leaving it as is .........That strip works!!!!!!!!!!

[jaysshelby]

Wes, dont forget about the brace at the back edge of the scoop, like I showed you on mine. Makes a difference at high speeds.
Stripe looks good, but what if you brought in down onto the nose similar to the factory did.

[86seeS]

Ya I got a brace for it thanks again for the tip

[JohnnyIroc]

Looks good man!!
this is exactly what i thought of to

[vntned]

Nice! Stripes look HOTT!

[88_pacifica]

very good work. Give me a call and let me know about the turbo rebuild this wk. I can do it for you whenever depending on when you get the pieces...

[2.216VTurbo]

Wow that looks sweet Wes, cant wait to see it in a few weeks:hail: I see your SDAC bigwheel is parked next to the house ready to go:lol:

[cordes]

That hood is going to be amazing with the headlight louvers.

[JohnnyIroc]

it would not have looked right to make it swoop down like the factory did,
because of how thin it would have been
Looks good man :thumb:

[dodge101]

looks nice!

[86seeS]

Its alive!!!!!!!

[cordes]

Sounds really mean.

[88_pacifica]

Once the timing is set, it should have a nice lope to it. Only a few more small things and it should be ready to scream....

[bakes]

I never like/get used to seeing something burning even though i know it is nomal crap buring off the exhaust and turbo even after as many motor i built!!

[86seeS]

Its POR15 burning off the swing valve and housing should have seen it smoke when the turbo went out. Had to take the turbo off the glhs and put on the dc. Nate 88pacifica rebuild the bad s60 but, its still bad not real sure whats wrong with it. Car WILL be at sdac smokeing or not......... I got a trailer lol

[86seeS]

Had the gtc wheels poweder coated waiting on tires

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/hud91686/Mobile%20Uploads/2011-06-16203153.jpg

[cordes]

Those look great with the green IMO.

[JohnnyIroc]

wheels look good man! got the picture this morning

[Vigo]

I demand SDAC pics of the car. everyone who took pics of the car must post them! Did it make any drag passes?

[86seeS]

There was a lot of pics taken of it. it got 2nd in L body 2 door beat out by an 4800 mile all original SC so im very happy with it. Had some trans issues so didnt run it. Hopefully before the seasons out though.

[JohnnyIroc]

Because, Race Car

car looks awesome finished up man

[mopargriffin]

Awesome Charger, looks very sick! Any videos of it on the web?

[bakes]

You going to open this puppy up soon????

[86seeS]

After I get back from nashville next weekend taking it to import alliance lol has about 200 miles now still working out some bugs. No videos yet

[ShelGame]

Not that you need anymore parts for this car, but - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370526274198&clk_rvr_id=249433629301

This has got to be a rare DC part for sure...

[88_pacifica]

$425.... AAccckkkkkkk.....

[Turbo224]

Hypo-trigger? That's definitely what we should be calling the reverse pull tab for now on...

[sy2206]

LOL, My brothers GLHT has one of those shifters in it. Crazy. His is the only one I've ever seen.

[Vigo]

Forget the flux capacitor, if you cant get it into reverse blame it on the HYPO TRIGGER.

[86seeS]

I want that bad but the car is now cable shift :(

[cordes]

That's cool, but not $425 cool.

[shmedley]

I want that bad but the car is now cable shift :(

You know Omni Potent makes a Shifter Adapter Bracket to make a 520/555 into a rod shift

[86seeS]

Ya but its not worth it

[shmedley]

Still thinking about doing it to mine. I have the shifter just need everything else

[86seeS]

Both of my l bodys are cable shift easy to do realy

[shmedley]

Same with mine. Was talking about the rod shift 555 conversion

[moparman76_69]

Another year another SDAC, the car ran 14.55 at Milan on 9 psi.

[86seeS]

Best pass was 14.55@94mph - 79mph at the 1/8th on 9psi
Best 60 ft. was 2.03 with 22x8 MT slicks

Top mount intercooler heat soakes REALLY bad so between runs we sat bags of ice on it. Going to pick up a cyr02 intercooler chiller from dei very soon

[intercooled]

im running the dc intercooler also and best so far is 14.3@ 99 mph on the stock t1 turbo

still no traction 12

[Vigo]

That would be low 13s on slicks on a perfect run.

[zin]

Chilled water would probably work better, but would be pretty messy too...

You know, to get the most out of the added weight, maybe consider using Nitrous to cool the intercooler.... the solenoids, nozzles and associated plumbing would only add another 2-3lbs...:evil: Plumbs right into the discharge side of the cooler...:nod:

Mike

[moparman76_69]

He already has the N2O installed he just needs to fill the bottle.

[86seeS]

Run the car on friday it coasted from the 1000ft mark and run 14.11 @ 101.9 the clutch let go in 3rd. I replaced the clutch yesterday with some over kill im now running a 4 puck purple plate from TU so mid 13s next week lol
All I did to drop half a sec was 4lbs of boost and took out the drivers headlight for some air

[omni_840]

Nice job on the headlight screen, how did you make that?

Hopefully you'll see 13's real soon:)

[Vigo]

Great to hear this thing is finally putting up some worthy times! If you really did hit 101+mph at 1000 ft (.....) you should be making some really smoking passes sometime soon!

[86seeS]

Ya i would love to get this thing in to the 12s this year but that would be a big feat i might just have to spray it soon

[Vigo]

If you coasted to 101mph i dont think you need anything else to run 12s..

[tryingbe]

If you coasted to 101mph i dont think you need anything else to run 12s..

Tires and driver.

But then, he still have a log and expensive way to go.


im wanting to try and beat the t1 log record witch is to beliver to be 12.55 @ 119 so thats my goal!

[Vigo]

still have a LOG and expensive way to go.

[86seeS]

Nice job on the headlight screen, how did you make that?

Hopefully you'll see 13's real soon:)

It wasnt tuff I just used the bucket and the ring And put Screen between it. It bolts up factory way. You have to cut the back of the bucket a bit to open it up to a full circle. If you need help I got build pics ill post up

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

Clutch is in and holy sh!t what a differance car pulls so much harder then before. That 4 puck purple plate is crazy good. You never know how bad your car slips till you put a good clutch in I highly recomend this clutch.

[zin]

Good to hear the clutch problem is gone, especially since you didn't realize how much of a problem it was! Definitely have the engine all figured out before you get into adding the nitrous, if there is a problem with the tune, nitrous will only amplify it!

I also like how you did the headlight/screen, and think it would be a great write-up to post, something simple, but highly effective, and best or all, cheap! Not only all that, but I suspect it will be basically the same for a non log car, though the plumbing will be different.

Mike

[86seeS]

Ill start a write up on the light tonight... Im going to get a new tune for the nitrous, +40s, 3 bar, on 20lbs since the clutch will hold it now

[86seeS]

Track tonight!

[cordes]

I can't wait to see the results. Good luck!

[Vigo]

OOOooo I have something to get excited about now! Cant wait to hear what happens..

[86seeS]

13.596 @ 103.79!!!!

[onerippinturbo2]

Ill start a write up on the light tonight... Im going to get a new tune for the nitrous, +40s, 3 bar, on 20lbs since the clutch will hold it now yea, i didnt have the 3bar and +40's when i ran 12.55 @119, we were running the good ol fashioned bleeds and diodes back then.

[86seeS]

Cars still on the +20 and the stock 2bar map I havnt got a tune yet. The only thing different from the pass tonight and the 14.1 pass a few weeks ago was the new clutch and 4gallons on 93 oct an 1 gallon of 112 race

[Pat]

Nice!!!

[cordes]

Great time Wes.

[omni_840]

Nice work!

[86seeS]

Thanks guys
