Road Atlanta Prep Work

I'm not talking mustang GT either chad

i think they call it the "Ford GT" crate motor.

I know for a fact that all the ford powered SCCS stock cars (the road race stock cars that used to be at NASA events that are now SCCA) run the GT crate motor for UBER power.

the GT motor is nothing more than an Aluminum Navigator block w/ a supercharger .

so you are telling me with high compression pistons, rods, b&b bottom end and built heads the Navagator can put down 500whp? ok maybe so, but dont know the block till you try it... and the crate motor comes with no blower and comes with all the high compression and head stuff done. :-P i dont care what block it has that motor romps.

So what are you waiting for?

[Kaan]

you have to excuse RJ, he has a b00st habbit... and no b00sted cars... i'm thinking its time to put a snail on that miata..... well you could always b00st the bimmer.

[.RJ]

silence! i will live vicariously through others.... for now... until I crumble... I have enough holes in the air, surrounded by steel, into which I pour money right now.

[Kaan]

with paying 3500 for the built turbo motor... the rest is going to cost him about 4k without installation into the EK... he is going to end up with 9k into this motor putting down about 350whp (dynopack3k) and reving to about 9.5k

RJ you have that kind of money laying around

[.RJ]

9K... good god no

Dont think I've be selling the R if I did...

yes, for a factory motor it does. However I know plenty of people w/ 4.6L 4v that are putting down over 600 rwhp :lol: Not that I'm planning on doing that but just saying.

[Kaan]

send me mf'n PM and tell me what the hell you are doing

[.RJ]

Not that I'm planning on doing that

Yet...

Just get a damn low mile 4v engine and be done with it - you were gonna do it eventually

[.RJ]

And if getting the miata ready falls through.....

- Install the shocks/springs/camber plates I got on ebay for the BMW
- Bleed brakes and put in new pads

Well this is where I am. At least this list is shorter than the other one.

I'll explain more later, after I severely intoxicate myself this evening. (no i did not break anything you wankers)

Seats are in. Mitch Piper and his crew do *awesome* work. Not cheap, but very good. They got an Evo 2 w/ sliders a full 1.5" lower than the stock seating position (other aftermarket seat mounts retain the stock hight). And further back. So I actually will fit in the car with my helmet on in a comfortable driving position w/o hitting the t-top glass. I now join the list of MM folks who can highly recommend Piper Motorsports to anyone looking to get custom fabrication done. I'll try to have some pictures up later this evening.
