I am BOOSTED!!!!! :banana2::banana2:

Remember this thread?
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=84950&highlight=trilogy+171

I was the one who purchased it and spent the rest of the year gathering information and parts to finally get it installed.

Its Trilogy 171 thats posi-ported with a 3.4 upper pulley, stock lower, frozen boost type 100 intercooler, lightning 90mm MAF, and a aeromotive 340 in-tank pump with no BAP.
Performance Evolution in Delaware did the tuning and kept it safe with 13* of timing and a fat A/F line.

450 RWHP and 405 RWTQ

Now for the thank you's......

Huge Thanks to Dave (Impalaslayer) I sent my car to him to do the install and he did a awesome job with it and kept the car in one piece and pretty clean!

Big thanks to Chris (Blown3.8) for doing the polishing work on the blower, it was originally the stock grey finish which wasn't good enough for me.

Thanks to Kariamack for selling it in the first place to get the ball rolling

Big thanks to Matt at Performance Evolution for tuning the car and getting it dialed in. The tires I sent the car down with made traction almost impossible so he left it to me to dial the shift points in to get it where I want it.

Finally, a big thanks to all the members with useful posts that helped me choose the right parts and make sure I know what Im buying is reliable and works with my setup.

Driving has been a blast so far, I probably shouldnt have waited as long as I have but the price was right for the Trilogy and I happen to have had the money for it so I jumped on it.

Im hitting the track next weekend to see what it runs, so far traction is limited but thats fine with me. ;)

What are your transmission mods?

Can I PM you about your fuel system.

Ah man congrats man that looks awesome and damn good numbers!

[Blackmobile]

Pretty and powerful, Congrats!

Congrats Paul! Chris did a great job on shining that up! :beer: So how do you like the boost? Do tell! ;)

Love the boost! Just feels so smooth when it comes in and I'm more impressed that it feels and drives like a stock marauder until you get on it. I'm in the market for the tires at the moment, the 420s are holding better then I thought but there is no flat footing it off the line anytime soon with 4.10s/3K stall and 450hp on tap. ;)

:burnout:

Congrats--Very nice!!!!!

Look forward to a rematch in 2014 ;)

Most definitely! I was hoping you were coming next week to e-town.

When my engine had problems two years ago I wasn't 100% certain of what was in it during the rebuild. Before doing this I badgered the engine builder with calls to confirm what's inside the block so I know what I'm doing before bolting this on. He confirmed that the engine was rebuilt with malley forged pistons and Manley H-beam rods. That was all I needed to hear and I went ahead with the install.
Transmission has a valve body plate with the upgrade springs and accumulators and a PI 3000 stall converter. I'm always on top of the maintenance of the transmission and it's been very strong and reliable.
For fuel, I went with cobra 39lb injectors, aeromotive stealth 340lph in tank pump and that's about it. I had a 3.0 pulley on it to begin with and it made 477rwhp but the duty cycle was at 100% which meant I had to go with a BAP and do more upgrades. I instead went with the 3.4 pulley and it kept it at a safer 87% FPDC and kept the power at 450 Rwhp which was my intended goal from the very start.
Feel free to PM me for more info.
Videos coming soon!


Time to change the Sig info.

Will do today. ;)

This news is THE reason I've had your Englishtown visit marked on my calendar for many weeks. I cannot wait to see that sucker in action this weekend!! I'm very happy for you Paul! :beer:

[rayjay]

:eek: Absolutely beautiful Paul. Congrats! :up:

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Congrats, I really am jealous as I thought of jumping on that deal when it arose. Glad to see you made it work.

[babbage]

Congrats Paul. Looks fantastic - got any video clips? Sounds like you took your time and did it right. Gonna take the 4.10's out now?

[Haggis]

Looking pretty Paul. how does Voula like it?

I have a quick vid while dialing in the TC lockup. 4.10s and the 3K stall are staying in the car! I'd rather get a wider set of tires then downgrade. ;)

I managed to scare her the first time we went for a ride, she had no idea what to expect. :D
Plus the fact that I was playing drifting stunt driver didnt help matters much:burnout:

[babbage]

Sounds wicked! Can hear the whine for sure. The lamp posts sure do come up quickly. What are you running for mufflers?

WOW!

This is the first time I have regretted loosing the "private track" (since I lost it!).
Looks fantastic - sounds even better!

[sflrainmaker01]

Man that sounds awesome! Was that a little traction loss in second gear? ;)
