Anyone ever seen this car?

Sounds pretty sweet

Awsome car. He says it turned down on boost with mondo blade BOV from 21psi to 15psi. My question is can mondo blade can down on boost pressure?? any one know?


Bruce

 

is it my imagination or are some of the pipes touching the ground?
that thing is quick though

 

WTF is a Mondo blade BOV? I think he has the Vortech Mondo BOV and a monoblade Throttle body.

Maybe he was the BOV setup like a pressure relief valve that bleeds off press above 15psi?

 

oops
I means Mondo BOV. how the heck he can turn down on boost from 21psi to 15psi?

 

Yeah, this car is the real deal. I know the former owner/originator of the beast. He's a stand up guy and apparently became disenchanted with the car after a lengthy build time.... Don't we all.
Anyway, that car is for real. Top quality everything!!
I got to drive it ( briefly) when it was at half of that power level at the wheels. WOW... I can't even imagine it now.
Wish I had the coin for it because it would be in my stable.

nice car!!!

also the first one ive seen with 1000 hp and using 6" rods...

 

Hell yeah i would like to take it for a spin

Looks like someone has put a lot of money and time into it

Travis

 

I never understood this - how does someone become disenchanted after sinking that much money into the car?? Makes you wonder WHY he became disenchanted with it...


Anyway, doesn't $100K seem a bit extreme, even at 1000HP? Or am I just missing something here...

 

I know I became uninterested in my car after it was away from my garage for a year and half. When I got it back I was so close to having it finished but just wasn't interested to work on it or mess with it anymore. It would have made 1000HP and streetable.

And yes $100K, im not buying someone having that much money in a car like that.

 

I agree 100K sounds pretty steep for that setup.

 

Isn't that Todd something's car from GA? I've seen it for sale for some time now.

 

Only way you can basically change the power level of a boosted YS Trim setup like that (which I have too) is by changing the blower pulley. I know I discussed the idea of using a BOV to limit boost with a buddy but if you think about it, if you are pulleyed for 17-20psi and have it blow off at 8psi it would be goofy.

 

Unless your paying everyone $100 an hour to work on the car + the cost of top notch parts! I could see him throwing $25K in the motor alone having to pay for removal/replacement, assembly, machine work, parts and tuning. Those of us who do their own work save a TON of money over having someone else do everything

 

Geez, he evened scanned in a handfull of the receipts (the top one in that 'stack' being $10k+) and people still don't believe the $100k buildup.

I added up the receipts.

They total over $100k.



With Grimes Machine Shop, Atlanta Chassis Dyno, and Lamar Walden Automotive doing most of the work, the labor can get 'up there' in a hurry.

PSJ is right that is how the boost is changed, several extra pulleys and belts are included with the car.
