picked up fairmont 2.0 today

minty fresh!

finished up the ventura and put it back on the road today

so we picked her up this afternoon after picking up my new fairmont, to get the old girl running again...
ok after a short vacation, parked the ventura for a while, took the s475 for don's notch wich is what its primary use was for, and we stole some parts to finish the notch and my fairmont, and the oil pan was cracked and leaking...
we gave an oil pan to ackerman who did an AMAZING job shortening the oil pan.
top notch work from teh whack shack...
we bolted up the blown up mpt76 from coreys turbo truck with the hammered exhaust blades, welded a fitting almost shut for oil restriction... made a nice oil return line, drilled and tapped the new cut pan for oil return. connected the intercooler, welded up a new downpipe... WELDED BY CHRIS LEE RACING!
and threw in the 80lb injectors, fired her first time no issue, idled away, finished her up checked for leaks, removed a little oil from the car, overfilled a little with the smaller pan, and viola.
i took her out and drove to the gas station, man i missed this car.

turbo swap on the truck, and drag radials!

so the turbo has been a little smokey since the old motor roached and the new motor is in... corey ordered a gt45 like i have, and he got it today, so we pulled off the mpt76 and threw on this bad boy and a set of 30 inch tall drag radials...
the turbo is pulling strong at 20lbs of boost, and we've launched it at 5psi on the street and it hooks like an animal and doesnt spin at all, retardedly fast.

raced the fairmont today!

first pass, well first 200 ft i hit boost cut at 22lbs, so i quickly jumped out, took the line off the top of the gate and ran 14lbs off the bottom only, next time i lined up i let her go easy 2.0 60ft. and short shifted and it went strait as an arrow down the track, ill have the video up soon but they stopped me at the doghouse and told me to go strait to tech inspection lol (meaning i was done for the day)

fairmonts first day at the track

got booted!

the fairmont, ready to race update

tires and dusted the intercooler black

painted the intercooler and piping in the front end so its less visible.
also going to get the rims for these slicks tomorrow and try and test fit them by the end of the day.

you guys asked for it, because you knew i would deliver.

dyno night 2

installed the meth kit today, and took it back up to the dyno, making 562rwhp now spinning in 3rd gear, its going over 147mph in 3rd, kinda scary on the 14s lol.
its running 19lbs of boost and using about half the injectors. everything else is holding up great, car runs cool, and intake air temps are amazing with the methanol, engine coolant even drops during a pull with the methanol just like the turbo truck, gotta love it.
here are some pics, video is uploading and will get posted next.
