Before I weld the fuel fittings on the tank , tried the E85 PTFE fuel lines for my +1500rwhp alcohol lab . I want to make sure I get the proper orientation of the fittings and I can cut holes at the right places on the cover that hides the tank . As you can see I have a fuel line for the Roll-Over Vent Valve. If the car in an accident turns upside down , the ball inside the vent valve will cover the hole thus preventing the fuel to spill. If the car is on its left or right side , the ball may or may not close the hole of the vent valve but by installing a fuel line longer than the width of the tank then fuel won't spill. The filter is just to prevent dirt from getting into my fuel tank. I will need to clamp that line properly so it will serve its purpose.

Anyone here have more experience on the dual calipers setup . Are there any experience on the calipers flexing that will compromise the setup ?

My build goals for the rare Black Pearl are quite on the high side being my trophy SC , +1500rwhp and +1000 ft/lbs of torque . The wheels that are going into the rear will only be 15" in diameter , Weld RT-S since am installing 325x50r15 Mickey Thompson . I have no problem in front installing BBK Brembos since I will have Weld RT-S 18" or 19" in there .

Having said that , I cannot install BBK big calipers on the rear. So to help stop the damn car with my power goals, I would like to double up on the stock SC400 calipers . But it would be nice to hear from people having the setup and how much power you are subjecting the said brake system. I know I would loose my e-brake . Doesn't matter , after all how often is it used ? Not really much on my end. I am more concerned in stopping the car at +180MPH speed .

Gerry, with the 15s out back I know folks use the evo x brembo rear calipers. Similar to the TT dual piston calipers but smaller that still allow you to fit the 15" wheel. That's is what I plan on using on my car with the Jeep srt8 brembo's up front.

Now I wonder if you could fit two of those evox brembo calipers on those brackets instead of the OEM calipers?!? If they fit, it wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm sure it will help a lot for braking power for that setup. But I think something would need to be changed on the brake master cylinder to accommodate all the calipers?

I will check into them and see . I read about those EVO brembos on SF . It will be nice if the same bracket will hold two .

Well am looking into replacing the brake master just like I am getting Tilton for the clutch master to accomodate my quad disk Tilton clutch. I have seen some new brake master setup floating around but still doing a lot of research.

btw , have you installed the 3-piece 15" Weld Wheels RT-S I have sold you yet ? What tires did you install on them ? Trying to get the widest I can fit in there without tearing apart that fender. 325mm with the offset we have on the same 15" Weld wheels is the best I can fit in.

that fuel setup should be in an exhibit of fuel setups, very nice can't wait to see the completed project

Thanks buddy !

Just trying to build this car with the best of the best in as much as I can being my trophy SC, being a rare 1997 5speed, 1 of 120 and Black on Black. This SC will more likely stay with me for a very long time. I hope ... since we never know what tomorrow brings to us. It will take a while building it or installing every thing I want on it since I don't want to blow away hard earned money all at one time but it will surely get there. I don't need it right away anyway having other 2jzgte cars to play with. Though it runs with the stock 2jzgte vvti 6 speed drive / power train. I make sure it still runs every time I install any upgraded parts on it. I don't want it sitting around not running. I just eventually want it to be one of the best monster SC out there.

The goal is +1500rwhp / +1000 ft/lbs of torque . I will put together myself every thing I can work on to save except the VVTi long block which will be a 3.4L short block and all Ferrea Valve train on a ported head . It will definitely be put together by a well known SF sponsor having seen some of their setups making above +1500rwhp. Not taking a risk on a $20k long block. I want it done by the professionals. It will be powered by MOTEC with all the bells and whistles like individual EGT on each exhaust runner, Nitrous nozzle for each intake runner with 2 fuel injectors for each intake runner too so I can extract every bit of power from it. Once everything is running the way I want , I will work on the cosmetics . Right now the Black Pearl already has the poly-urethane AC kit . That's about it for this car in terms of external looks. I don't want it to be a fancy looking car. My SCs are supposed to be sleeper cars. Got the MKIVs for look good cars . All this car needs is a paint job both in and out and replace small things. Most work and upgrades will be geared on how to put that power to the ground rather than looks. It already looks good with the poly AC kit.

thank you Jim .

My buddy Jared from Speed for Sale had seen my braided PTFE e85 lines




he showed me how to use zip ties so they are separated from each other all the way if I don't have the line holders . He is really good. He had been giving me tips and tricks of the trade . I have learned a lot from him. He is currently helping me out with my intake manifold that has 2 fuel rails , 2 injectors and a nitrous nozzle per runner trying to make sure there will be no leak whatsoever in high boosts so I can get into that +1500rwhp goal of mine.

Wow! This is going to be a killer set up!

Are you making this into a drag only car now? what does 1500whp even feel like on the streets lol?

It is a rare breed of SC so it better have the best setup I can afford , lmaol.

I don't know how it feels driving a +1500rwhp car , lmaol . Never had one . Two of my MKIVs are only making north of 1200rwhp.

Heck no it is not a drag car . It will be a street monster car . With the technology of turbos now a days and with direct port nitrous , lag is a thing of the past . I have an older PT7685 on one of my MKIV making +1200rwhp. With direct port nitrous , I don't feel any lag , lmaol. I read that the newer GEN 2 PT7685 even spools better and with the right setup can get very near the 1500rwhp . Pretty sure by the time I am on the finishing touches of this car there will even be a better turbo. That will be the last thing I will buy for this setup so I can take advantage of newer turbo technologies.

It is a trophy SC so it should have the best of the best . I initially thought of getting it dynoed with a huge turbo just to get way past +1500rwhp then scale it back with a lot smaller turbo and be a torque monster . But with the new technologies of turbos , things that people say cannot be achieved in the past are all now doable. Like you now have a 64mm at the 900rwhp mark , a 67mm almost at 1000rwhp and a 68mm going way past 1000rwhp . Those numbers were even unthinkable in the past. Direct port nitrous will help a lot too. It is indeed a combination of all the parts you put into the setup that can make a car lethal on the streets and at the same time still can have the top end power of a drag car . It doesn't mean you have to use all that power all the time . But it will be there when the need arises to support your ego on the streets . Real Street Performance has been making reliable +1500rwhp setups lately , I am going for their long block with all the best options of every part that they offer. I am saving for it and I am pretty sure I will get there. For now I will do all the things I can work on . For the delicate stuff , I am thinking of shipping or driving the car to Real Street Performance and they install the engine they will build for me and wire it up with their MOTEC setup with all the bells and whistles so every power can be extracted from their engine.

I think they will fit. From the looks of the bracket, the spacing between the two wont be a problem. Now I am thinking to have a pair on each side. But the master cylinder is where the challenge will be. As always, I'm watching your thread and following it with my build. The next thing on my list is to do a fuel system with the Weldon pump like you are doing for my next motor and rear brakes to accommodate the weld RTS 15's.

I think the 325 tire is the largest we can fit. I have a set on my CCW 17x11.5 M&H 325/45/17 and they are flippn awesome. I haven't got around getting the 15s fitted due to the rear brake calipers. I just need to get in gear get that done.

Richard I hope 2 of those EVO 8/9 will work on that bracket... Master Cylinder -> there are solutions on that. I need the Black Pearl and the Old Man Tan to have good rear brakes with their massive tires.

I am seriously thinking of converting the Old Man Tan from an ATF Built trans into a 6 speed trans. I love the power train on it right now with the PT-6870 turbo . So responsive but damn trans is robbing me of at least 150rwhp. I won't be able to get it to dip into the +1000rwhp with that turbo until I go manual. Though the ATF had survived the +900rwhp .

Went for a drive today on a 120 miles trip to test the new additions to the Old Man Tan .. the gauges and the SP Quick Spool Valve. Dang spool valve is amazing , gained some torque down low with the built 3.0 engine and a built head with +1mm Ferrea Valves. That 6870 with a QSV is a very good street setup actually . I need to get a plate and drill 52mm holes so I can install those gauges inside the glove box.



when I got back home , found some packages I got for the Old Man Tan ...

a polished intake



a 3.266 diff from LKQ online which I saw on Ebay for a very cheap price so I grabbed it . Though,I might not use this if I end up with a T56 6 speed. That option seems to be very appealing now. Way cheaper than a V160 setup. I still have one brand new V160, but having 5 cars with V160 now , I need that as a back up . Joel just did 1741rwhp on his T56 setup which means damn trans is very robust. Been following the builds of many on the CD009 , once you go triple disks , the costs jumps almost into the level of a brand new T56 setup. My main concern is no proven 2JZ setup at those level. Too expensive for me to experiment. I prefer going into proven setups even if they are more expensive. Less headaches and risks for me. So I don't think CD009 will cut it for my application, or let me phrase it in another way , for a little bit more money , it is better going T56 setup which is now proven to hold tremendous amount of torque and power without all the hassle of trying to fit a CD009 trans on our tunnels or getting that shifter to be centered without a rowing experience while shifting. And to top it all Joel had been a die hard drag racing enthusiast so his setup takes a lot of abuse. So it the said setup can stand well on his application , then it should be reliable .



and a Weldon 2035a and Weldon 2047 regulator which I will add to the fuel system of the Old Man Tan.
