New pics!

 

MF!!! one of US accidently cracked a side flare :cry: . time to see how the hell we fix this issue!

 

i went back and did the check every bolt thing. good thing i did. the front was fine but lots of shit loose in the rear and 1 missing bolt. (interestingly enough nothing was damaged)
in doing so i thought i'd also take a bunch of pics.

 

Luis at Paradise racing has made a huge jump and decided to help me in my project! Both with parts and with advise. check the aftermarket support list to read about Luis.

I want more! Now in order to make the power I want, I'll have to build the bottom end. With the parts Luis has laid out for me and the builder who will assemble the block, Nemesis will hold about 600HP without blowing out the bottom end. (getting to that number is really hard and will be continued on later)

 

some recent pics

 

Compliments of Kevin!

i had a great time at the track. i was paddocked with paradise racing. got to help on their celica and chat with luis a bunch. right next to us was chris rado with his scions. he is a cool guy, i got to chat with him for a couple hours.


ok so i just ordered a wastegate, turbo, adapter plate for the oil filter, paint, thinner, reducer, activater, lapping compound
already have new plugs, turbo adapter
gonna have some fun!










borg warner turbo
and i'll get some more pics up.

(crazy achmed)
Last night was spent stripping the car down again. Without the help of Mafix again. Hehehe. Sorry bud, had to throw you under the bus for that. Nothing else accomplished. Its naked again.
BTW I'm picking up some more painters tape at work, as I used a bunch of what was left to start painting the wheels for Alanna's car.

(mafix)
well we have been very busy with the car. the entire this is damn near ready to paint. just a couple little touch ups and a mountain of cleaning and hanging the plastic. then tommorrow we will be repainting her!




i see Omega in the backround





pisc of the paint fresh and misty in the air











and dry paint in the middle of baking






mike polished her all up last night. very nice!
remember guys Nemesis was built and maintained by 2 guys not just me.

so once again my starter and alternator blew. that's getting to be a tedious job. so instead of using some more of the used parts, i bought new ones.

finally got to applying some of the decals. i'll get some pics up soon

just ordered new tubing for intake, charge pipes, exhaust
and a fuel reg setup, intake filter
going to be putting the motor in very soon!

just bought a new exhaust manifold. a design i've never seen. hopefully this works out well and mabye this will save me from moving my radiator
and got my new manifold, ordered a mountain of little parts to get all that working right (turbo is too big for the wastegate to fit!)


woot! thank god for summit. after plenty of unanswered emails with other vendors i got mad and finally called summit and ordered the fuel reg and all the needed fittings and hose. special thanks to st165 for getting me that damned thread on the stock reg!

if you look close the turbo is lurking in that pic, lol.


Just sent the cylinder head out. updated the mod list for those who actually want to read all that.

just before leaving for the PA meet. the absolute last run on the stock motor.
the end of the myth and the beginning of the legend

perks of having a lift at work (6 of them to be exact)

 

Re: 87GTS hybrid FWD turbo "Nemesis"

so mike and i have been busy. i am still waiting on the cylinder head but we did the mock up with a junk one and removed most of the stuff on nemesis already.
some recent pics!

 

Re: 87GTS hybrid FWD turbo "Nemesis"









and no springs to break!!!

 

Re: 87GTS hybrid FWD turbo "Nemesis"

so i got my cylinder head back. huge differences in the ge to gte as i've noted in the forced induction forum. i'm happy with what i've got.
Sorry about the small pics, i had the phone on the wrong setting.
funny he sent it back in a honda box!




so i measured out all the specs for the shimless buckets and ordered them. yay!
i've also changed the routing of the fuel system and modified the line at the rail with a banjo bolt instead of the surge suppressor. should flow a ton more fuel.


tonight we will install the head, intake, exhaust manifold, ect on the motor
