Gang: We wrenched all afternoon today and got a whole heck of a lot done. It is beginning to look like a motor again.
Here are a few pics for you.
Motor 1:
Motor 2:
Since this is the 1000th post, I thought I would take the honors...We expect to receive the injectors and the fuel rails this week, and I will pick up the upper intake this Monday. Hope to have the engine completed this week.
I am beginning to feel like this is finally going to get done , snd soon. What a long, long road...
I thank you all for your patience and well widhes along the way..

Gang:
Here is a pic of the Custom rails:
Gorgeous, aren't they? It is really coming together...
Twizted, good question. I am not offended, but I disagree. Yes the stock rails will flow some fuel, but I do not like them for my set up. Plus, I do not believe they will support my HP requirements. But, I was never planning to use them, so the issue was moot to me. This is not just going to be a fast car, but a show piece of what can be done to this car and platform. I am going for a cover with this car...That requires a lot. I do not plan on selling the car. It is my toy....A very special one. In the same venue of questions as to why, how about a few of the questions below?
And why Twin turbo a SC400, instead of a single turbo?
In fact, why go through all the trouble and expense of custom fabbing a TT SC400, when one can buy bolt on parts to TT a SC300?
Why add a carbon fiber hood?
Why fab custom hood vents for heat release?
Why upgrade the body to the 2000 refresh?
Why add an 11 stereo MB Quart speaker system?
Why replace all the necessary stock sensors that are still working with brand new ones?
Why put in a gated shifter instead of using the stock non-gated one?
Why chrome and polish all the engine parts that I have done?
Why use DEFI gauges?
Why swap in a black interior?
Why spend $50k on modding a SC400?
Why add 2 stand alones?
Why add e-shift?
Why add a Dragon TQ Converter?
Why shoot for 900 to 1,000 HP?
Why add expensive Catch cans from Greddy, instead of cheap homemade ones, like the many that are out on the web?
Get the point?
Why, why, why??? Was any of this necessary? No. But why do it? Because I do things right, and all the way, and because I want to, and because I can...Kind of like why climb a mountain? Because it's there...
