thankfully I've had the benefit of people who have blown their trannies (multiple times) to find out weak spots without having to go through spending all my money to find out.
If you're one of the ones who have turned your tranny into a mushroom cloud....my thanks to you for paving the way
thank you to all for your kind remarks. I can't wait to see it finished either, because it's getting so difficult to look under the hood and not want to hurry it along!

i agree... i am one of the ones on here that got into that arguement with you about beating a c6 vette or whatever... and you said your budget was like 3k or something... how much have you got in it so far? anyway... it's lookin sweet and i'm anxiously waiting for the results...

If, and when you finish this, this is going to be a monster of a Hoe.
What are your goals in terms of HP and torque.

Something I decided long ago, our Alero limitations were basically due to most people being satisfied with what you could get with basic bolt-on's. That includes an s/c or turbo. I wanted to show these import fans exactly what can be done with a domestic, and at a competitive price-tag. Believe me, there's nothing that rakes my nerves worse than a worked over civic owner thinking he's all that. I get challenged at least 3-4 times a week, but I always tell them they'll have to wait for the track to find out what it will do (cuz it isn't quite ready yet )

The key here is two-fold. Sponsorship, and doing alot of work and research yourself, rather than paying out to have it done. Believe me, I have less than half tied up in this project than what it should have cost.

The proposed budget in that argument was to beat a $60k car with around $5k invested (not including the purchase price of my car). Shamefully I will have to admit, at the project's end, I will have gone a little (not much) over budget. The transmission is estimated to cost between $2,500 and $3,500 (me supplying the core) if I have it built. If I build it myself (which I'm not keen on) it will cost less.<!--QuoteBegin-King Asoka@Mar 7 2006, 01:08 PM

[/quote]This season, I'm shooting for excess of 450hp. Throughout the year, I'm purchasing an additional 3400 block and going for a 600hp (crank) buildup, and that's where things will start to get crazy. At that point, I'll probably be at nearly double the current investment into engine components.
HP and torque to the ground will have to be dyno'd after making the final gear ratio selections, which is still being pencilled out.
Keep in mind, only planning to run appx 12 psi max (around 300-350hp) daily driving. A new PCM file will be uploaded with boost pushed to around 18-20psi at the track, hence the need for a chiller/supercooler.

thats amazing, fill in those bottom holes, paint it, add some mesh and you'll be good to go.

I'm adding in the center mesh as we speak, the outer sides are probably going to wait for a little bit. I may be molding in complete ducting from the outer vents in to my tranny/oil coolers if I dont use the chiller for that also, instead of it just flowing randomly through the sidewells.
Good thing I had the mesh on hand, I already have tons of bugs in the radiator I have to blast out, but at least I didn't get any rocks yet
