2000 turbo regal v.notSnowflake *now with more flames*





dude, if this thing was able to be handled with one hand youd have a vid...

the lack of play in the suspension mounts makes it so much tighter. still need to get something better than a string/ruler alignment once the new rubber is on the 18's.

trust me you aint missing much, the tires go up in smoke to damn easy with how old and hard they are.

I really want him to buy the 17" oz superlegara's that I have on the compG
a much nicer style fitment over the 18" fittipaldi's
 
that right thur is Tommy "gun" Glover.... he's the reason this tin can kicks itself down the road like it do

just found out there's another 1/2mile event coming up at the end of april....we'll see if the 2.93 FDR can get us to 160+ at 22+ psi (we did 149 at 22 last time....before it broked...for the 7th time...remember we hit 608 whp at 18psi)

the new suspension should make things much more predictable at over 130mph
anyways on to some pics since i had it on the lift up at my old stomping ground... Harry's on rand

cant wait for warm weather and the new rubber for the 18" Fittipaldi steamrollers

next up are the steel knuckles, monoball pins and monoball LBJ cup and plates to fix the roll center correction on the front end with it 2" lower than OEM. HK is ordering the new Swift Helper springs for the front to keep the double torringtons loaded...we are forgoing them on the rear since they are single bearings and only used for adjustment with no real function other than allowing the spring to rotate as it compresses/extends. they are cheap bearings compared to 70$ EACH for a helper setup....fuuuuu





 




the prototype rear CC plates are at anodizing, got all the parts ready to weld.

install the rears, put new tires on the Fitti's, align it, and try to hit 170mph at the 1/2 mile.

ive got a piece of 1/4" polycarbonate to make the front air dam...****s gonna drag on the ground when im done with it, cut the air out from underneath.

roll center corrector prototypes are ready. just a few things to button up including the new 127lb injectors and we can go rock some ****.

then after at least a dozen runs, we'll be the fastest, then we move to a dyno aand go for 700+ whp and im hoping we get 600+ftlbs from 3500+

to support this addiction anyone need any suspension parts?
 
the Swift helper springs are now installed up front and the car is set down into the weeds. looks good. still need the new steamrollers on there...

measurements are done for the front air dam.
finally decided it'll never again have dual exhaust, he's selling the SLP exhaust inserts and we can cutup the rear bumper to get rid of the parachute hanging down.

this thing will be a damned rocket, and hopefully feel quite stable with the air cutout from underneath along with all the new suspension mods

we have the 115lb/127lb bosch injectors, contemplating how much larger I can make the intake plenum on the cutup spare F body UIM with 12mm shorter injectors.....

I have the delrin swarf for the fuel canister along with the return straw modification. that with the new heat shielding over all the fuel lines should help lower fuel temps and remove the bubble recirculating that we have now with the return straw dumping onto the walbro sock.

it'd be nice to get a larger canister in the damned things but the best ive come up with is a way to mold a urethane cup about 6" in dia that can fold through the opening and use our OEM hat and the sender side of the OEM bucket.

as it is the best solution is a staged surge tank and now that he's not doing dual exhaust I now have a nice handy spot for it below the car...

there's plenty that can be done but the biggest issue is the bubble recirculation, the anti sloshing swarf and straw mods should fix that. and since its the half mile it'll have a nearly full tank anyways.

with the new injectors and the fuel system at 100% we should easily feed 700+whp worth of e85

oh and we finally replaced all that vintage nitrous wiring/rats nest under the hood with top quality sheathed wire sets, the 4 wire set is shielded for the boost controller solenoids, a shielded 3 wire for the 3 bar MSBC1 MAP/boost sensor and another shielded 3 wire for the fuel pressure/oil pressure sensors (going to switch between, two sensors, one gauge)

I picked up 3/16ths stainless hardlines to bend up for the dual solenoids., where im looking to mount em we'll have short enough runs that things should react quite quickly.

also picked up a sweet big red button for the steering wheel along with the coiled cord, and a true DIS tach output adaptor that will permanently fix our rpm pickup issue on the dyno rollers.

with the new dual ramp rate MSBC1 boost controller we'll be able to keep the tires glued and still wring er out to 28psi once we are in third. with the launch button he could even drop boost to upshift to 4th and then hit it. but with the FDR we should be good well into 170 at the top of third.

being able to do a rolling start is going to be nice....a full day of true, full load datalogs to tune the bastard. that way we should hit 700whp the first time on the rollers, hell probably bump timing with the less load and whack out 750 by the third pull

edit, oh yeah, some sweet pics
