I built the car in my garage over a 2 year period of time, with the primary focus for AutoX with full track capability as well.
1999 NB Engine block was surfaced, bored and honed for 84mm pistons and main caps were align bored. Crank has been knife edged with chamfered oil holes. All block / crank work was performed by Steve Schmidt Racing.
OEM pan was modified with internal baffles to maintain oil control in corners. Boundary forged gear oil pump was installed. High strength, low weight Carillo H-beam rods and Weisco 8.9:1 pistons were installed with proper ring gap set for high boost application.
Leroy Engineering built the cylinder head with +1mm valves (inconel exhaust valve) using triple valve springs for 8,400 RPM. Head was decked to bring final compression to 9:1. Stock cam shafts (intake and exhaust) were installed with adjustable timing gears, properly adjusted to offset decking and maximize boost.
FastForward Supercharger installed with pre-boost 1,000cc injector and 1,000cc main injectors fueled by a DT200 fuel pump Radium Engineering fuel rail and FPR installed for E85 ONLY fuel. Pulley set up makes 19.5PSI with ECU fuel cut at 19.9 psi.
Racing beat full length header with custom exhaust has a deep tone (for a 4 cylinder)
Engine features an ATI Super Damper, Power Master high RPM alternator, custom machined water pump housing to work in conjunction with a Craig Davies electric water pump and Mishimoto large aluminum radiator. Radium Engineering oil vapor scavenge system and mill spec quick disconnect engine harness at firewall. ARP hardware used internal to the engine and nearly every fastener on the engine is new, high grade. MegaSquirt PNP2 ECU controls the engine tune. Also has Delta PAG high CFM brushless radiator fan for cooling. AN fittings throughout the car.
Transmission is a BMW 8HP50 with TurboLamik mechatronics unit and TCU. DCT sequential shifter provides 8 spd transmission. Car currently tuned for manual upshifts. Manual or automatic downshifts. Not yet tuned for full automatic but has a base tune for full auto. 8 selectable program profiles through console mounted selector switch with gear indicator display.
Custom aluminum driveshaft connects with NB rear diff housing and Cusco 1.5 / 1 way rear diff and new NB axles. StopTech cross drilled rotors on all 4 corners with Hawk DTC 70/60 brake pads. Chase Bays manual brake conversion for direct brake pedal feedback.
FM V-Maxx coil overs with Eibach springs front and rear. Small Fortune Racing front sway bar with adjustable links. Goodwin Racing rear sway bar with adjustable links.
15x10 Dekagram wheels with Nankang AR 275 tires all around with fiberglass bolt on fender flares.
Blackbird Fab rear wing, custom front splitter, 9 Lives Racing front air dam and R Theory rear diffuser. Professional Awesome support rods and quick disconnect fittings used throughout. Full radiator ducting with dual Mishimoto trans coolers.
Inside the car is a MOMO racing seat with Impact racing 5pt harness, harddog roll bar / harness bar. NRG quick disconnect steering wheel with MOMO racing wheel. Custom dash with Autometer white face tachometer. AEM gauges throughout with Battery, GPM MPH gauges on the A-Pillar, Boost gauge in the left air vent, fuel pressure and oil pressure in the center vents, AFR and Water Temp in a custom center console with 4 Painless Performance Rocker Switches to control ECU/TCU, Fuel Pump, Water Pump and Fan.
Headlights have been removed, brake lights, tail lights and turn signals still work.
I'm sure there are more features that I am overlooking but I can truly say that no expense was spared when building this car and it has less than 100 street miles on it and one autox event since completion.
