1964 Chrysler 300

Posted on February 24, 2018 by

Well almost finished the Chrysler 300 project. Summer cruiser.

We had a fairly unseen old school car come into the shop for some maintainence

The customer wanted to get this great looking car freshened up before the nice weather started again. Overall it’s is in great condition, it needs attention in a few small spots to start.

I am thinking Air ride and a set of wider, black steel wheels?

Performance Modifications and Performance Part Installs.

Posted on March 13, 2017 by

Engines, supercharger kits, turbo kits, exhausts, camshafts, cylinder heads, clutches, shifters, gauges, nitrous, transmissions, cooling systems, gear swaps, you name it, we have installed it before and can install it for you. Don’t let your lack of tools, space, time, or experience get in the way of having the parts you want on the car you own.

Superchargers!, Vortech, Paxton, VMP, Kenne bell, Tork Tek, Procharger, Magnum Powers, Powerdyne, Whipple, Magnuson, Edelbrock, SMS, you name it we got it covered.

Engine swaps and installs are a common type of modification when it comes to increasing a cars performance. Weather its upgrading/updating a factory installed engine, or installing an engine that was not native to your chassis, getting it assembled, installed and running properly is what we do.

Tuning cars that respond really well is a lot of fun. Its one thing to add a bit of timing and get 2-3rwhp its another matter all together when it drags out another 30 every time you make a change. The new 5.0’s when supercharged definitely fall into the later category. The car breaks the 400RWTQ number by 2500 RPM and averaged 475RWTQ all the way to 7300. Driving this thing is awesome. It idles like stock, and part throttles perfectly. A really terrific combo.

Datsun 510 field find

Posted on April 24, 2015 by

This 510 was rescued from a field by the new owner. He wanted to get the thing running again and get all the fluids changed and start getting a game plan for the future. Its definatly got a long way to go, but they are really cool little cars with massive potential. I really like the 4dr cars as well. This already had a built l20 and 5 speed trans swap when the new oner aquired it. We drained the fuel, changed the fluids and got it running. The brakes are next. At some point this car got a rear disc brake swap installed, but there is a ton of sorting that still needs to be done.

Mustangs, Corvette, Camaro, Subaru and Nissan.

The past 2 weeks have been pretty busy here at the shop, with a couple of exciting projects.
We had the Mustang Evolution for some preliminary tuning, the big v10 made some really good torque on the dyno, with some room to grow this thing should move pretty well around the track.

Mustang II evolution

We also had a pretty neat customer track car come in for some upgrades, we did a clutch and light weight flywheel, ford racing cams, a boss intake and a few other little modifications. The car made decent horse power and should be a blast to track. The customer is going to shake down the car once the weather gets a little nicer around here and then upgrade the car from there accordingly.

GT race car

We just recently had an 01 corvette z06 in for some tuning/troubleshooting, customer was having issues with the car passing emissions due to not having cats and a few other issues with it. In most instances we can tune the car well enough to pass emissions and pick up some extra horse power, however often times the only way around it is to put the cats or some high flow cats in. This car has a few underlying issues that needs to be sorted out before it goes on the dyno.

Like it is with all projects, they take time and usually need something before tuning. We sorted out a few little electrical gremlins and are on our way to get it on the dyno. Luke’s SR20 powered 240sx is extremely well put together. with the SR, a set of wide wheels and overfenders, it should be pretty quick.

The Big STI project is just about wrapped up, we are putting miles on the motor for break in and then it gets the final tune.

Lastly, Travis’ 69′ camaro has all the parts ordered for it, the motor is together and should be getting put together in the coming weeks!

STI

We have a pretty cool Subaru WRX STI project in the works right now. One of our good customers came in saying there was an internal engine noise, so we got to work getting him the details on a big build.

STI motor

Along with a built short block, the car has all the necessary accompayning modifications.

A larger turbo.

A much larger front mount intercooler.

We have all the parts for a mid 400hp street car, there will be some room to grow if the customer decides that is not enough. In addition to more power adding in the benifit of AWD, this car should be fairly competitive on the street and the track.

2014 Portland Roadster Show

We will try to update this as much as possible with News, car and other things that are rad through out the weekend.

Another picture form the other side of the booth, all the car we have here this year are getting a lot of attention.

A really cool project from the guys at that we helped a little getting the base tune for. Have you ever said “cool mustang II” before now?

Day 2 at the Portland Roadster Show Late nights and early starts, our life blood… Turbos and coffee.

Here are a few more cars we enjoyed.

And a few more, green seems to be a popular color this year.

Turbo Van!

Posted on February 19, 2014 by

So as we mentioned is a post before, we came across this 89 turbo van awhile back. We figured it would be cool as a shop hauler, parts runner and generaly a diversion from the winter weather.

After promptly over spinning and killing the factory Mitsubishi turbocharger, we scrounged up a slightly used GT3076 ball bearing turbo and went to work. Its a turbo that is waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy to much for this little sad 8v cylinder head. But that’s OK! We are going to rock it anyway.

Thats what we started with.

We started off building a nice 3″ magnaflow exhaust, tig welded and mandrel bent.

Made the turbo fit the chassis.

Built a decent front mount and plumbing.

Added water methanol, built a megasquirt board for it, wired the engine and got it running.

After that we lowered it, scrounged up some mostly round wheels, with mostly airtight tires and added some airbags to the rear so we could still over GVW the thing.

So far its been great. Van made 268 FWHP and has been a solid usable shop rig.

69 Camaro LQ9 Turbo project.

Posted on February 10, 2014 by

Work continues on the Camaro. The engine is coming togeather and the parts and peices needed for the rest of the car are starting to show up.

The LS9 head gaskets and camshaft are installed along with the new lq9 rod and piston assemblies. Left is the oil pump, timing set and figureing out wich oil pan is best suited for the cradle.
