Finally got Jake's 2270 installed. Looks awesome. Probably won't have it running for about a week because I'm fabricating an aluminum diamond cut box for the rear trunk to hold the 2 Optima 6v batteries. They will lay on thier side so that I still have clearance for the targa top to mount in the trunk. I think that it is a much cleaner look without the standard battery box. Also waiting on a coil mounting bracket. Also have Chris Foley's header system installed with his new heater box. It really looks great. Next time I go to the shop, I will take a better picture (straight up) of the system. Both of these gentleman could not have been more helpful when called upon for help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .
Sean, you might want to add these two items to your list for the track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) . I see that Jake has one for sale at a good price. I will report back when everything RUMBLES to life. Rick Attached image(s) |

Thanks for the thoughts Rick, but whitey is a stand-in til the race car (-6) comes home.

Looks cool, now for some numbers, hehe.
Does that Tangerine exit on the wrong (not stock) side? If so, why not the stock side? |

Dyno numbers were 144hp and 161.5 torque. Yes, the exhaust exits the oppisite side. Not sure why but i'm sure Chris could anwser that. I have a glass valance (without notches) and am going to notch the other side.

It exits on the wrong side.. Works perfectly this way and enables the tranny to be dropped with the header still on the engine- big plus.. I have had to do it on my car several times/

Umm Rick. A regular Optima Red top fits in the rear trunk straight up as far as I know. The top fits very tight against the bottom of the trunk lid.
VERY CLEAN install. Looks great. 2270: 144 hp ?? B |

161 lb/ft of torque.... I tune for torque, the rest comes with it...
His combo works AWESOME with stock 901 gearing.... HP is an advertsiement, torque is an erection! BTW, all my dyno numbers are with full headers and mufflers, pulling the fan and alternator- do the math. |

I thought maybe his dyno numbers where "chassis dyno" numbers.
So.. this is the "torque cam" I would guess. Oh.. I noticed you called last night. I couldnt stay awake. The tranny ended up only taking 1.5 hours to pull out. I was passing out in front of the computer around 11:30 after being up since 5:45am. B |

His engine was outfitted to be very dual purpose. It made its power not so high in the rev range. It is the second most torquey TIV combo taht I have.
Call me today for sure, I'm leaving for Roebling tomorrow. All the parts are in the works and there was some *bad* stuff and some *missing* stuff. |

QUOTE(JmuRiz @ Feb 18 2004, 02:34 PM) Does that Tangerine exit on the wrong (not stock) side? If so, why not the stock side? It definitely exits on the right side, (as opposed to the left side). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The lengths of the pipes make that the only practical layout. Rick, That looks great. Glad to see it went together smoothly. Let me know about your experiences with the heat exchanger after you've driven the car. |

Sorry it has taken sooo long to post an update.
Jake: I drove it for the first time today. What a f...ing NECK SNAPPING MONSTER. That is my first impression and I didn't even get on it very hard. I now have to re-learn how to drive it. It loves to run over 3000 rpm and does'nt seem to want to quit. Awesome power band. 911s, beware. Chris: The header sounds better then expected. The Quite Can makes it only slightly louder then it was with the Bursh, but MUCH more throatier. And, boy does that sucker flow. While walking behind the car, at idle, it felt like walking behind a jet engine. Just to let you know, the heater box works great. Let me know when you figure out a "t" set-up for the heater tube to get heat on both sides. James: The Rennshift set-up is awesome. What a major improvement in shifting. It really does have that "gated" feeling. I would like to publicly thank these GENTLEMEN for thier commitment to providing the highest quality products and sevice. They each have my highest recommendation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Now, a few more pictures. Not quite done yet, but getting there. Still fabracating the diamond plate aluminum box to cover the battary set-up and the rest of the birdseye maple interior trim. Attached image(s) |
