    Engine pics

    My engine is to be installed on 9/06/16. The following two weeks are mounting of Mishimoto engine and oil coolers, transmission cooler, wiring of Aeroforce Interceptor gauges and engine/transmission tuning.

    This project has been fun, albeit far too long to complete. Buying the Ford Racing engine and design of mostly one-off parts (custom pistons, Brembo brakes, JRi coilovers, Hydroboost brake system) resulted in major time delays and monies. Time is the one element I feel most pained by. I hope the Marauder is done soon.

    Then it is time for an ADTR Stage 2 blower.

    Mezerie electric water pump:


    Custom motor mounts:


    Hydrocoated, new wheels wells:

    Wrong! This is the only pulley that stopped belt slip on the Dyno!

    I have a few expensive paper weights.

    The Dyno runs that last a few seconds was not the issue where the slippage was occurring in my Daily Driver Drag Racer that has over 270+ runs down the 1/4 mile and over 195K miles.

    A well known pulley for providing great traction on the Dyno actually wore down due to not meeting these specs;
    "High-Traction Profile Supercharger Pulleys are machined from 6061 T-6, hard anodized aluminum with the proper profile to maximize surface contact area for precise fit. Each pulley is built to SAE standards."

    There are Garage Queens, Show Cars, Daily Drivers, Drag Racers and Daily Driver Drag Racers.

    Pic of the slippy pulley with the brand blacked out since I never lodged a complaint with them.

    For 7-9 psi, I doubt belt slip will be a problem.

    The pulley is integrated within the unit itself.
