00 FRC PTK TR6060 E85 Dominator build-update "The Half Mile Hustle" build update 10.0
https://www.facebook.com/TheFixedRoof
Holy ****, this has been a crazy 5 years. 3 different jobs, 2 different girfriends, 3 different places to live in two different counties, and my car still loves me. Actually, it doesn't have a choice, it's stuck on a lift.
Trying to get the car done for the Half mile event in January in Ocala Florida. Thats my only purpose in life right now...is to get it done! I do have a C6 F1X car that is a thorn in my side so, also trying to finish that car in time too...but thats another thread build.
My FRC: A few of you know the cars story, for those that don't, it's a 00 Artic White FRC,..it's had a few motors, a few power adders,..always has, and always will be a manual. Last time around it had a stock bottom LS6, two 67mm turbos, and no real fuel system. It made 787rwhp and 696ftlbs on 11.5psi, no timing, and shutting down at 5800rpm due to fuel starvation. Then someone asked to buy my motor, the next day I had a built LS2 fall in my lap....and I decided to take a perfectly good running setup, and take it all apart for an upgrade.
The new motor went in but not without talking extensivly with Brian Tooley for days,..finally had him build me some TFS 235's,..set up for a 1 mile pull and all the heat that comes with it. I then contacted race part solutions, and built a fuel system to support 1200rwhp on E85...roughly. -10 feeds, -8 return, magnafuel pro tuner 750(street car). I put it all in the car, the exoskel twin disc, didn't like it. It spun as soon as boost came on. I guess it was a good sign that we were making power but...not good for the dude paying the bills and doing the labor, me. Took everything out... talked to textralia...ended up using my second twin disc(gotta have spares
) ..and made a triple disc. Ended up having an issue with a slave leaking....
so I removed everything, again.
Started to plan to install again...then had a conversation with a friend who was getting rid of his TR6060 ZR1 trans,SFI bellhousing, DSS torque tube, and Tilton clutch. I bought it all.... then bought a 2012.5 Z06 diff, bought a used cradle....bought some diff and trans coolers. Called RPS again and made all of my cooler lines...cause I wasn't gonna go through all this again and not do a wicked ,ready to go road setup. Decided to go to solid control arm bushings at this point, did that. Put everything back in the car...figured one last time. Installed everything....turns out, the C6 bellhousing was longer,...made installation a bitch...but I got it all in the car. Started it up....and yup....a had a pilot bearing fail.
It wasn't that old but, it failed. Made beautiful noise.... lol... so, once again, I had to remove. I have worked on 20 or 30 vette drivelines...never had I gone through this. Figures, it was on my own car.
Anyways, I put got rid of the C6 bellhousing....then ended up putting in a C6 pilot bearing...and a new Tilton Slave perch, since I went back to a C5 bell housing. I also sent the Tilton 7.25 triple carbon clutch back to tilton for inspection and clean bill of health. Did all that...800 and change later, I have a pretty much new clutch again. 8 weeks ago, I had spine surgery, so I am just now, able to get back to being physical, and get this driveline in the car. With the help of my cousin Josh, we got the driveline in this last Saturday. It went in
actually pretty easily, considering the last few times. All I have to do now, is plug everything in, install turbo setup, exhaust, intake...etc...and then try and fire up, to see what isn't working.
Updates list:
built LS2-BTR TFS 235s
A non boost friendly cam(just like always)
Precision turbos got Garrett GTX billet wheels installed in them.
Ditched all silicone and hose clamps, now running JODAR "DUAL SEAL" boost clamps.
Relocated BOV's.
Added longer, and now 2" wastegate dump tubes, with fender exits.
Catch can fittings(1 per bank), going to all black instead of blue/red.
All new turbo feed(-3 ptfe pre-made) and -10 push-lok black braid and fittings for turbo drains.
New custom designed by me power steering tank, Deubel Products made it a reality.
All new power steering lines, and fittings.
I straightened out all of the factory power steering fins, which took about an hour.
New front tie rods.
New rear tie rod boots.
Rebuilt rear axles, stock C5.
2012.5 C6 Z06 differential.
2010 C6 ZR1 transmission, factory spec.
C6 rear cradle.
Tilton Triple carbon clutch 7.25" with all new hydraulics(tilton slave and master) w/pedal stop.
Longer front and rear wheel studs, ARP. I run C6 wheels(18x10.5 front-18x12 rear FIKSE wheels) and they go in, just a hair, so I have small spacers on them.
Custom aluminum axle back exhaust, all 3 inch. Designed by me, built by crazyG.
Powder coated everything black, or ceramic coated black.
New DeWitts radiator and we welded on -20 male fittings, and I run the new Fragola Push-LOK -20 hose for my coolant setup. Looks awesome.
New HSP black spark plug wire boots.
New sway bar end links.
New ac, serpentine belts.
New plugs.
Finally made a cheap steam port setup. Just used 2, LS2 vette front coolant crossovers,..used -4 pushlok fragola, with a -4 Y block. Worked great for fitment.
New LED's for the car...since it's 2015 and all.
About to order new tires,..just not sure yet on what to get.
I had Wilson Manifolds clean my 160lb injectors. Came out great.
Also had my ATI damper rebuilt. They recommend having it rebuilt once a year if you make over 1000rwhp...FYI.
Here is the first couple pics of going turbo...how it started off, then phase 2,..then now, phase 3(uncoated-unfinished).
and as of saturday..
Touched up the FAST 90

Spacers:
Coated WG dump tube...its also now wrapped.
best driveline tables!
Not fun but, glad I did.
I made my own coolant tubes...thanks to the JODAR bead roller.
Switching to speed density...need to figure out where I am putting everything.

Waiting for some pics to upload, in the meantime....I had a rough Saturday start. Other than being hung over(not common for me)..I Had to help the shop across the way for a while with a harness...had to help them break into a car,..etc, then I once I was ready to go work on my car...I couldn't find all kinds of stuff,...from a bolt here, a bolt there. Once I found everything, progress stated slow. I was able to : Rewire all injector harness's(new pigtails), locate, plug in, and wire 3 bar map, install plugs, install pass side turbo piping , plug in wires, attach grounds, attach all suspension components.
Then, since I added HSP armor shield underneath my intake, I needed to change valley cover, with a counter sunk version I made...then the low profile SS screws I bought from fastenal, they gave me standard thread instead...even though I brought in the correct bolt to compare to,....so I had to go search around town to find what I needed. Once I found...installed,..then I put the intake on. It didn't go on easy at all, since I placed the 3 bar map in the stock map location. Yeah, my firewall did not like. So I basically cut a square in the firewall to allow for tha MAP to protrude into. I covered with a piece of LAVA mat from HSP. Can't tell even. So I did that.... then mounted fuel rails, and injectors.
I attached intercooler....to turbo, and honestly nothing lined up. It is so weird, and we are all baffled by it. It should have lined up,..I ended up having to modify my FMIC to work with the turbo and piping. Everything seems to line up now. What a pain in the *** day it was. By that time, it was a long day, probably around 7:30pm and I had dinner plans...plus my back was jacked up(still recovering from surgery). Sunday, I worked from 9am till 1, just cleaning up a few install pieces,...making sure I had my correct check list for the next round of mods or parts ordering I had to do.
All in all, not a bad weekend but,..I was hoping for more progress. I forgot how tight this car is to work on...and how much time, everything takes. I miss the days of a simple heads and cam swap car. This weekend, I won't be touching the car but, the weekend after, back in the saddle. Will post pics as they upload.
Thanks for reading!

Lots of little issues, here and there. No time to really get into but, getting closer.
Whats left?- Attach(make) coolant T, vacuum system, add coolant. Load tune. Install bumper. Clean up vacuum hoses(using alpha hose for half mile event). Add fuel(E85-R). Interior pieces back in. Mount wheels. Start up. Alignment. Test.
Update pics:
Brought the car in to work to finish it up.

that's that G-funk era low cost anodizing. They're black but...the FIKSE anodizing....unfortunately looks purple. Plans to one day take them all apart, and do some modern black real deal anodizing on lips and spokes one day.
Thank you sir.
Thanks bro. Almost there.

Update:
Car is coming back apart due to an incorrect slave cylinder.
FML....but I am still hopeful for the event. Supercar week here for us, so trying to get other projects out so,..I will be working late night probably to bang this out.
That is all.
