I got the car weighed at a buddys shop with the new motor in it after I got it off the dyno, for comparison when the 383 was in it the car weighed 3350 without me in it.

Right when it hit 508 on the dyno I was at 20lbs on the boost controller, we kept the tune pretty conservative since I drive this thing on pump 93 and in the hottest of florida days

It definitely added up quick but realistically im probably about 15K into the swap all in with the transmission setup. For rpm the rev limiter is set to 7200 right now since I have stock valvetrain in it. If i went aftermarket springs and cams i could push it 8 or more depending on how radical I get

I loaded the car up and went back to Titan for the final tune and it broke the 500whp goal that I had for this motor. And it still makes all the wrong noises from what people expect I plan to take it to some more autocrosses to sort out the suspension but for now I have a reliable daily...

I definitely have been severely lacking on the updates for the Dart but ill dump what has happened with it in the past few months: I updated the coils to what are known as IGN-1A coils they are extremely powerful spark discharge and all I had to do was repin the ECU harness and and run another...

Since I don't have the V8 anymore I don't need to hold onto this. This was on my 383 when it was in my Dart. It is a 165A, 1 wire alternator from powermaster. It was used on my car for about 3 years before I pulled the motor. It is in good condition with minor wear on the pulley I was using...

Finally finished the big ole intercooler and had to modify the bumper a little more for clearence. After recording some data logs the average intake air temps under boost dropped 25 degrees so I would call it a win. The lag from it being a bigger core really didnt change, and I tried to make the...

Right now the K member is 4.75 inches off the ground and with the oval exhaust I havent hit it yet with speed bumps and such

I am running Bridgestone re71rs on the car they are a little expensive but I love em. Until I have another set of wheels specifically for autocross I may switch to the federal rsrrs for the street/autocross duty to save a little money. Its good to know about the Falkens I hadn't heard that about...

I cant believe I haven't posted the video of my trip up to Tail of the Dragon with some buddies of mine. I got some good gopro videos below from the dash of the car from a few short runs before we hit traffic. I was really surprised on the handling of it, I was easily able to keep up with my...

Heres the pic of the dyno graph from Titan with the old cooler, and a pic of the new intercooler core that just showed up that I need to fab some endtanks for. I went with a 18 x 8.5 x 6 core for the final intercooler as I refuse to cut any of the grill so it ended up being more thickness than...

Right now im running 93 pump fuel. Also the 455 is at the tire so with the ball park 10-15 percent drivetrain loss that would be over 500 at the crank. Also the intercooler seems to be undersized for flow needs so im fabbing up a bigger one to fit the chassis without cutting more since the turbo...

These wheels are forgestar wheels they are a custom offset wheel the fronts are 18x9 front and rear. The front has 35mm offset and the rear is 20mm

The boost controller is on 17lbs right now once coils are swapped for the stronger ones im going to take it back to Titan to turn it up to the final number

After buttoning up all the wiring and cleaning up the engine bay to make it ready for the dyno day I scheduled a day at Titan Motorsports since their name has been made on building 2JZs. The car was great on the dyno and ended making 455 to the tire. The main issues holding it back was the coils...
