Project Mupra

[Slow5oh]

There seems to be quite a bit of interest in this, from my WTB thread so here's the scoop


About the car:
92 LX Notchback, 5 speed car, black interior, bimini blue exterior, California car, about 95% rust free. Old setup was a stock block 302, Vortech Si v3, Trickflow heads, e303 cam, trickflow rockers, the usual setup. It put down 470rwhp and 446 ft/lbs. I was looking to go faster, make more power and I knew that wasn't happening on this stock block setup. I decided to let the old setup go, and was going to go the LS turbo route, but I wanted something different, and I wanted to make people mad in the process.


Here's the plan I've come with as of now, parts in bold are what I've already acquired (Huge thanks to Aj @ Endless for great prices). End goal is around 900rwhp, complete street car, no cage, full interior


Motor:
2JZGTE VVTI
Stock Crank
SP custom 10:1 Pistons
BC 625+ Rods
Titan Billet mains
Titan cam gear
ARP hardware
GSC Stage 2 Cams
GSC Beehive valve springs/Ti Retainers
SP Intake manifold
SP Intercooler
SP Quick spool valve
SP boost activated cut outs
PTE 6870 BB


Fuel
Dual Walboro 450s
FIC 1650H
E85


Suspension
Strange Coil overs
Double AA K chromoly K Member and A Arms
Maximum motorsports upper/lower control arms

Stiffler web subframe


Wheels
Weld RTS 71 15x10
26" tire


Transmission
I'm still torn on this, as much as I'd like to do a v160 it's a lot of added cost. I'm really considering the 370z 6 speed with colins adapter kit.


Engine Management
ProEFI


Rear end
8.8
Welded Tubes
33 Spline Strange pro race axles
Strange Spool
Trickflow cover
Disc brakes






Here's some pictures of the old setup






11/27 Pulled the motor/trans

12/4 Headlights/cobra grille came in

That's gonna be a really cool build! AJ is a big help when you have a project like this. Keep us updated!

[Slow5oh]

Thanks guys, I definitely will. I'm not rich so it's a slowish build.

Motor should be here Monday, along with the pistons. Next week will be busy!

Sorry, I just have to ask, exactly what does that mean?

A lot of people were angry i was going to put an ls in this clean of a notch. A lot more people are angry that im putting an import motor in. I do things for myself and no body else and like to be different, especially when it comes to my cars

Same reason I'd do it. Cool build, I'm looking forward to following along.

Was a late night Saturday, about 4 in the morning :O

But I got the entire front clip pulled, and started on the interior
People who install aftermarket alarms should be punished!

the win, this gets all of it.

Not something you see a lot of. For that reason and many others... this is going to be a fun project to follow.

[Boostaddct]

Subscribing so I can follow the build!

[Prince Valiant]

Any thought to doing an automatic vs a manual?

Cool build...very cool.

[Slow5oh]

Cost wise yes but the fun of manual is way more intriguing

[Slow5oh]

Pistons came in today

[95-1LE-Z28]

Nice build bud. Subscribing for updates.

[Slow5oh]

Thanks!

Rods and springs came in today, Titan mains will be in Thursday. Motor is waiting to be delivered, the dumb bitch at Fedex asked if i would have a group of people to lift it off the truck with the driver.

So I'm still trying to figure that out. I already had to pay 50.00 for residential I figured they would know Im not going to have a fork lift at my house. They want to charge another 106.00 to have a truck with a lift gate deliver it.
