Holy hell Doug....... that car is going to be insane! I have been following that thread too.

My turbo should be here Tuesday. I ordered up the new 84mm ET-R billet from Forced Inductions, but it's going to look like a baby compared to that thing. Lol . I can't wait to start fabbing things up. Your block and heads are sitting in the car now, just waiting on the pan to get here so I can decide how low and far back in the chassis I want the engine to sit before I start making the hot side.

Hopefully I will see your car back at the track this spring to see how good that billet 80mm runs on a built engine! Let's see an 8 this year!

Awesome man glad your progressing hope to see you out there this year. If you need any help let me know!

Thanks 8s should be in the near future want to run 9.5s on street trim that's the goal for the year.
Thanks me either should be up and running again this weekend depending on how the weather is around here
I am tempted to try out the 94 lol but the Crank won't be thrilled . The billet 480 should really be a nice combo with this 370ci

What's that backpurge plate do?

douglee25

Typically you back purge with argon or nitrogen which displaces oxygen during the welding process. It helps to keep impurities out of the weld.

Doug

It creates a protective barrier to prevent oxygen from polluting the back side of the weld (sugaring)

As always his welds look amazing and that backpurge plate is a nice piece too!

mrstepheneades

High tech version of masking tape or tin foil lol. Also it probably prevents flange warp from the heat.

For sure, look at how thick that bad boy is!

mrstepheneades

Bolted together like that would also help the thicker piece to absorb some of the heat as well.

Doug has put a bunch of time and money into this thing and now has all of what he needs to push some 8.7's out of it. I know that the engine is back in but will still be a few weeks till he gets it back out n the street.

I'm leaving for vacation Tuesday but soon as I get back I'll get the chute on meth kit hooked up and my Leash boost/pulse hooked up and hit the track!!!
