    BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

    Ever take a little longer than planned to do something? I started in April, and REALLY wanted to get it done before SDAC-17, but I just couldn't let myself rush the job. Several months later, it now runs and drives but it still needs a couple parts and a tune before hitting the track. Unfortunately time is up for the 2007 season, but I should have plenty of time to get everything done before opening day next spring!

    CLICK HERE for 2.4L engine pictures before and after the install

    Looks good JT. I didnt know this was going in the Z. I thought you had it marked for the Shadow.

    That is extrememly show worthy. I like the way all the billet comes together. I think that the things is absolutely beautiful. It brings a tear to my eye...

    Now, about that exhaust "moisture-trap/rust-conducive " thermal wrap....

    I can't help notice in your sig picture at how even your car launches. Nice and even. Looks like it's sitting still, when it's actually launching pretty hard judging by the slicks.


    Sorry for the hijacking JT! How's it run?

    I was going to put it in a neon, but after pulling parts off neons in a j-yard, I said f-that!

    Are they working now? work ok for me.

    LOL, not too much billet after all

    I really didnt want to do that but until I figure out how much heat it makes I really don't want to cook anything!

    Exactly, nicely out of the way and it is a street car still, so it does need one Clay!

    JK, I'm sure it'll hit 250
    LOL, you can see a couple of them for sure I'm REALLY hoping for 250!

    I spent some big bucks on the lines, they are Aeroquip Kevlar lines, way lighter than SS and way easier to use

    don't know if you know this but the stock srt acc pulley has a rubber dampener in it to eat vibrations and guys with aftermarket unit have been fragging oil pumps, literally.
    I didn't get a crank pulley with it... tell me more, what is the vibration from? I only have 1 accessory, the alternator.

    Yeah, they do need to stick out more, maybe an 0.5 - 1 inch?

    It runs... I have not put a tune on it yet (using the 8v cal) so it has not even made boost yet.

    Stupid question: Where's the alternator?

    I haven't been paying much attention to these crazy kids and their hybrid projects these last couple of years!

    its a race car, so he might now have an alternator. Otherwise, they are buried down low if I remember correctly.
