ETS - SICK Show/Drag Car Build + Tons of Pictures!

[ETS Tom]

A customer of ours is amping up for a big race season at the drap strip and came to us for the hard parts required to run 8s and to do it in style :cool: He'll be finishing the build with fuel, electronics and tuning and will be unleashing his beast when spring breaks here in the NW :thumbup:

The goal of this build was to assemble an 8-second capable setup that would meet the decibel requirements to run after 10PM at our local track. He also wanted show quality finish on everything. Never backing down from a challenge, here are our results!

And a few for good measure :)

Wow shiny!


Any chance you have some pics of that intake? I really like the looks of it.

And do you guys sell those upper and lower rad hoses as well?

[ApexImprt2nR]

B E A Utiful!

[tsi.awd]

Thats wicked!
Thats the first time I have seen a BOV like that?

More pics please!

[95GSX6bolt]

Holy Gigantic front mount batman!

[blue_gsx]

Is that intercooler 6" thick? awesome set-up.

[k1tty]

^ Yuh it's 6" and the intake pipe is 5".. lol.. It's going to be a monster! Keep up all the good work guys, your stuff is amazing!

[greengoblin]

Very, very nice!!

[lasthope05]

Ouch!!! You should of pushed him to get a fuel cell so the bends wouldnt have been so radical and you could of exited on the drivers side instead. Besides that it looks sexy!

[97gstbabe]

Not bad...

Why is the Tial Bov have like its own pipe???It looks a little goofy...

Also Im not a fan of the Turbo manifold or Intercooler...

Intercooler is way overkill...

But the customer is always right

The pictures in that link are the only ones we took during the build. It's been super hectic in both the shop and office here for quite some time but we're doing our best to share in the fun :D We will be offering the upper radiator hose kits for $89 plus shipping to those interested.

It is! :tat:

But the customer is always right

The Tial BOV flange/pipe was designed for function over form. It puts the inlet of the valve directly perpendicular to airflow direction. Rather than making a 90 degree turn into the BOV, airflow can take a straight shot in this case. The intercooler is actually sized specifically for this Tial housing 4202 turbocharger such that it will efficiently cool the charge while maintaining absolute minimum pressure drop at 1000whp. The manifold was built for lowest possible head to runner angle while maintaining true equal length runners, merge collector turbine inlet and hood clearance :)

Is that top and bottom with couplers and clamps or just top? And I assume they are aluminum or would I be wrong?


Sorry just planning things out in my head so I can plan things out when I go to have my fmic, vc. smim, fluidyne ect anodized black..

[blue_gsx]

That exhaust manifold is pimp.

Are you meaning the radiator hose clamps? Those are standard Breeze hose clamps and there are four in total. Let me know if that's not what you meant :)

[quazz209]

Someday I hope to be able to build parts of that quality myself. Slowly but surely I am amassing the necessary equipment.

[Theron 07]

What the F?
thats so crazy
nice job

[Theron 07]

shiiiiit...i just went to your link
that thing is hella beastly
do you guys have a store that
i can drive to in vancover? i live right by seattle

[HOT97ECLIPSEGSX]

That is rediculously sexy...a 5" intake pipe? LOL I could put my head inside of it!!

That manifold is sick!

Awesome job! Any numbers?

What the F?
thats so crazy
nice job

Not to jack this thread...but I've noticed your posts are very similar throughout DSM Talk.

Try to post following rule #7. The mods are very strict about that and you'll find your stay short lived if you don't. Just a pre-warning before a mod mentions it to you.

The full update from the car's owner, Jeff {thumbup}


Ok everyone I'm the owner of the car and I got to say thanks for the atta boys on the build. This project is one of three I've done, My first is a full show quality street car making 511 wheel on a FP Red turbo with only 21 psi, My second is a '91 GSX 2.0 ltr FP 3065 that runs on E-98 and is a street and strip car that has run 10.2 @ 133 mph making 533 whp. This car that I'm building now is a 2.0 ltr English built E98 full drag car. Our starting goals are minimal at around mid/low 9's, then going faster as I feel the need. We know the the car is capable of 8's and 1000 whp but for now I'm starting around 900 whp. Here's some pics for you guys who don't like the condition of the surrounding of the ETS BLING.

Now I have a full suspension on the way so the very HIGH ride height will be dropped 3 in. It is on stock suspension now, The car weighs in these pics 2165 lbs. As far as having ETS take care of my dreams of this build, There is NO doubt in my mind that anyone could have matched their professionalism and ability to meet every goal I placed in front of them. Thank you ETS. Jeff

[Got Insulin?]

Ballin'!

[uberchargedDSM]

............. Wow

[dsmtnr95]

Wish i could put a wish list together for an 8 second car and fund someone to do the work. Awesome job ets and enjoy that beast.

[Dsmoron]

Jeez holy lift kit! Clean motor. :D

[lg93awdgsxer]

Wouldnt someone have to achieve going 8-seconds, before they could build an 8-second car?

Confused on the credentials there....

[dsmtnr95]

I think it was built with the intent of going 8 seconds. But id have to agree it can't be an 8 second car till it crosses the line. I'd say it has the potential though.

[91TSiGuy]

Keep up the good work Jeff & ETS. :)

[streetlamp]

So around how much does it cost to build such a shiny 8 second capable car?

[T4g63]

Wow! The work looks amazing.

[dsm614]

Nice drag car :)

All i can say is HOLY SHIT! The car looks amazing. Do you have any more pics? Maybe some of the interior? How'ed you get it down to 2165lbs thats insane, i see it dosent have a hood or windsheild yet, but still. I have my 1g down to about 2500lbs but thats with out the 10pt cage. I really like how you arent running any sideskirts, and filled the holes. Looks really clean and unique and not to mention lighter.

Good job keep up the good work.
More pics would be awsome.

[ETS Tom]

The car is definitely making progress toward being ready for the season, so hopefully Jeff will share some more pictures :)

[Buddhalux]

I hope to hell that I don't get lined up next to you at PIR when I get my Laser Panda finished!!!!!

[ETS Tom]

I hope to hell that I don't get lined up next to you at PIR when I get my Laser Panda finished!!!!!

Yeah this is going to be a hellacious beast at the track, and Jeff can DRIVE! You may have seen him out in his part green part black 1G on slicks that runs low 10s at almost 140mph :) I just talked to him a little bit ago and with his new house is still waiting on internet to be installed, so we'll try to get over to English Racing where it's being finished and get some pictures!

Tom

[k_oss_22]

wow!

[Buddhalux]

I was out at English's a few weeks ago to pick up a new xfr case and I didn't see it there. If I did I would of needed a shop rag or a towel though!!

[eclipsed4speed]

Thanks for all the props everyone, this car has become quite the adventure. The car is almost finished and English is tellin me we'll be barking it off this next week for the first time. I have to apologize for the lack of updated pics but like Tom said I'm busy with building my new house and I live over 100 miles away, so getting to it has been a challenge. I really want to thank the people who have helped me build this car: ETS for building me the siqest custom turbo build ever. English racing for building me the short block, trans and wiring the car, JmFab for helping on the intake mani ( thanks Jim). The car was a real basket case when I got the stripped shell, I had actually thought I had taken too much on. If you guys want I could post a full build from start to now so you can see how much work has been done. I'm looking forward to getting in this car and making great #'s once I get used to this new power level. We are really anxious to see the abilities of E-98 straight. I will reweigh the car with out me in it I'm predicting 2300 lbs full rolling chassis on my corner scales. Jeff

[Buddhalux]

Hope the new house is coming along fine. We had a pretty nice little thunder storm roll thru here last night. That makes construction hell. Do me a favor if you get lined up next to a white laser this summer. Skip like 4 gears so I have a chance. :P

[dsm614]

Well hell yea get a build thread up, thats not even a question!

More pics!

[destroydsm]

If you guys want I could post a full build from start to now so you can see how much work has been done.

Another hell yea on that one! I would love to see a build thread start to finish on this beast!

[eclipsed4speed]

After reading the site rules I'm prohibited to give you a build thread until 90 days pass and 50 posts. The 50 posts will take me a long time to get. Kind of a bummer. There are a few other web sites that have a full pictorial and documented build for you if you want me to pm links. Jeff

[destroydsm]

Yea links would be cool!

Oh and you can still post a build thread on here, just not in the build thread section!!!

You are not prohibited, you can post the build in this thread. You just have to fit into that mentioned category to have the thread moved into the build thread forum.

[eclipsed4speed]

So the car started out as a '93 eclipse GSX. I purchased the totally stripped shell from English Racing. It had a home built one piece carbon fiber front clip. The clip was very poorly built and didn't fit very well at all.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee124/eclipsed4speed/1000whpbuild93gsx004.jpg


So I decided to find a doner car and cut the front clip off and re graph it back to the new car.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee124/eclipsed4speed/1000whpbuild93gsx025Small.jpg

So I took the car to ETS and spend a short period of time with JR the owner to let him know what I wanted for a build. After our very detailed conversation was over you could see JR was very excited to tackle this project. Here's the rules, GT4202r turbo must fit in stock location with stock radiator. 6" FMIC must fit behind stock front bumper cover. Full 4" turbo back exhaust and waste gate to vent into DP. Polish everything like for a car show.

I then disassembled the car and prepped for my first ever paint job, removing all the old Lexan windows and body trim. Mean while English Racing is finishing the short block and trans. I brought to him the new head I built and the engine was final assembled

The rest of the photos have already been posted earlier in this thread. I can't tell you how many man hours I have in this, I know ETS has gone above and beyond for me and English Racing is finishing the almost impossible. I also took one last pic before it went to English of how much it weighs

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee124/eclipsed4speed/smalleyhouse007.jpg

Of course the cars not finished and needing fluids. With English our goals are hitting 900-1000 whp on straight E-98 and running low 9's. We built it for more but I'm more of a realist and let the time slips come when they come. we can start updating with more after this week cuz the car is just about wrapped up. More to come. Jeff

[dsm614]

Now thats what I'm talking about.

Every drag car has a story.. :)

It's a lot of work.

[destroydsm]

Damn 6" intercooler core! That thing is a monster. And i thought my 4"core was big. lol

Overall car looks greattt man. Loving this car.

I just got done doing the body and paint on my car, such a pain in the ass and so much work! Im still not done wet sanding and buffing it. It was my first paint job ever as well!

[jpatter2]

Looking great Jeff.

[91TSiGuy]

When's she ready to fire?

[jpatter2]

Pimp!

[destroydsm]

Is that the stock tank cut in half with a sump? If so thats is a really good idea! Maybe I might do that on my car instead of getting a cell. So then it will bolt right up, use the stock sender and filler and also save alot of weight. NICE!

Sickest car i have seen in awile!:)

[eclipsed4speed]

It will be ready to fire very soon Brent, we just have to finish a few more things. Have you shown Jim the pics, Whats he think so far? Do you guys have polished COP that works with 300m coils, The one Spark Tech sent me is, well lets say not up to the finish this car needs.

Thanks for the props Chim, When you get a chance go up to Lukes' and see it for yourself, The pictures just don't do it justice.

Yes that is the stock tank I cut just outside the fuel tray inside, then drilling 3 1.5in. holes just below the inspection cover where the -10 return line comes in. The fuel pump is a Magna Fuel 750, feeding -10 to a Y and 2 -8 to the Magnus twin rails with 8 1600 injs, 2 -8 to the Aeromotive fpr and last -10 return. Pretty sick fuel system I think.

Thanks every one, I very excited to start ripping on this car, my other low 10 sec e98 car is starting to bore me, and it keeps getting me into trouble for my mph traps over 135. It's no fun having to let out 200 ft from the line coasting and loosing but running 10.4 @ 109 mph. I could finish the cage but English thinks I should focus on the new car. When I get my status up with this site I will do features on my 550 plus hp e98 2g and 1g. Jeff

I have been showing them to Jim off and on. I'll have to show him the latest come Monday then. We definitely have a plate that'll work with the 300m coils--I'll see what we can do. ;)

[dsm614]

Hotness.

I do agree with he plate change though. ;)

Yeah I gotta get up to ER and check everything out.

[ETS Michael]

You definitely need a new COP plate to complete the look =) Looking great Jeff! Hope to see it on the dyno soon =D

[evil~eagle]

Looks fantastic Jeff! This couldn't happen to a nicer guy! Can't wait to see that beast in person!

[eclipsed4speed]

Hey Jake, Thanks, can't wait to run with you guys on the 14th should be pretty eventfull. Jeff

[JOEY A]

Are you the guys that raced the LS1 transam with a white drag 1G?

[boosted831]

Thats one amazing car. Awesome job.

I think that might have been turbochargers.com that did that if it's the same vid I remember seeing.
