Have you uncorked this thing yet? Tune it meow and blast it!

[SheaMoose]

Well It's not all about the launch.
You could beat some pretty mean cars from a rolling start.

Land speed Micah.

I'm up at school now so I haven't touched it since that video. It's up to my dad to install the fuel system on the stock motor. Then we'll get it tuned. He wants to see how much the stock 6.1 can take (we've seen 608 from a supercharger).

After that, everything will come apart, get coated, and I'll be swapping in the new motor and trans.

I mean, I guess if rolling starts are your thing then it's not all about the launch. But I ain't 'bout that life.

Launching is all about setup.
I'm just talking power to weight ratios.

Oh my goodness an update!


Sort of. Like I said before, it's in my dad's hands now but he hasn't really done anything so I went home this weekend to help out. He's not lazy or anything, but he's been swamped with tuning work.

Anyways, here are some pics of the 5" dump off the turbo and the cap I made.








And this was the only picture of the wastegate that turned out. It looks crooked, but the pipe is a 45* bend to the side... not down. When looking under the car, the cut is perfectly even with the body line.




Today I put on the bored out intake manifold, Fore fuel rails, regulator, and injectors. Then we dropped the three 350lph pumps into the tank and I got most of the lines run but the right fittings were not ordered to complete the setup so my dad said he could finish it up and would order the stuff tonight. And that's that.

He he, sweet.

Holy turbo spool batman.

So it's been really slow in here. I've been at school so I'm hardly at home.

But Christmas break is here at last.


And so is the piping. It just got back from ceramic coating. I laid it all out on one of those plastic tables or whatever to show you just how much there is. I think it looks like a pile of snakes.






Hopefully it will all be in the car soon. Right now the tranny is out as we decided to put the built one in to see how far we can push the stock 6.1.

Sweet baby jesus.

[Randomofodication]

This is so cool

[M.Doban]

Ladies, the day has come. The world's first large-frame turbo SRT8 Jeep will go on the dyno tonight! I'm pretty excited. Remember, this is only on the STOCK 6.1 engine, so don't expect any quadruple digit power figures yet.

Here are a couple unflattering pictures of everything together and wrapped. Videos to come!

Micah, you and your old man are so rad it almost hurts.

[244Brick]

Yhiss ^^^^^^^^^^^^

[wickedechoes]

Soooo the jeep is awesome, and your work is great man...but info/pics on that Dodge Daytona please! I'm drooling just from seeing a corner of it in a few pics lol.
