Something new to work on....

[Greg@RET]

LOL, I bet you guys thought I bought another toy. Its actually a customers Shelby. I tuned it originally about a year ago.... pulley, intake, tune, it made 540-550 or so.

He wanted a upgrade and didnt want to go with the usual bigger blower route. So he picked up a TT Hellraiser kit from Hellion. He wants to go with a bigger motor later so we decided to do the entire fuel system now. 80# fuel injectors, triple return fuel system from Lethal, yada yada. Personally I would like to see him lose the SC for a intake, I think the blower is actually a restriction on the turbos.

My thought on the kit.... extremely tight!! It will be interesting to see the ground clearance issues a month from now. As far as clutch jobs on the car now... it went from $350, to now at least a $1k clutch job. Everything has to be dropped to change that now. I know Art came by earlier this week, maybe he will put some pics up when we started on it.

BTW here is some footage of him and his buddys cars. I tune the Shelby's and Ford GT you see in the vid. Yes that is in Kuwait.
YouTube - Shelby GT500 vs Corvette C6 Z06

YouTube - Q8 Midnight Run 3..!

I asked him what happens if your car breaks out there. He said " I will pay you to shut your shop down and fly you and your guys out". :aaron: hahaha

[error404]

don't leave before my car is done :keke: haha! He just gonna have the car shipped over there? Does he live over there, or over here?

[Kameleongt]

LOL, he doesnt handle this kind of stuff. This one is split between myself and the other guy that works for me. He use to work for Saleen for a few years and TechCo for a little while.

I did get this one picture from Art, I will take some more tomorrow of everything up.

damm that right there looks pretty sweet, pretty good idea to mount the turbos right there.. solved a lot of hot piping issues, does the turbo inlet have an intake going up a bit more? i'd be scared of rain..

[Juturnax65]

pretty low to the ground, watch out for speed bumps!

[Kameleongt]

thats badass ill try to stop by 2/marrow greg and get a few more pics I didn't realize that was the only pic I took of that thing

[Greg@RET]

That shield should stop the speed bumps lol

*drool*

turbosmart ftw.

talk about tight clearance!!!

[Juturnax65]

damn thats freakin awesome

good thing for that plate!

wouldnt want to wreck those turbos!

[Greg@RET]

That plate would probably just bend then crack the turbos lol

[Juturnax65]

hahaha uh oh, need a bigger skid plate

[Greg@RET]

Fired this one up late last night. Need to get the exhaust welded on now. Right now its just the downpipes and sounds great :banana: I will try and get a clip of it today... Still need to install the 10 gauges he brought :aaron:

[Kameleongt]

^ just 10:x ill try and stop by I dont have my camera though :( phone pics FTL

[Greg@RET]

Teaser vids... open down pipes.

YouTube - Hellraiser Shelby open down pipes

YouTube - GT500 First start up. Hellraiser twin turbo Set up

[006]

Schweet!

[Greg@RET]

Took me a few pulls to get the boost controller to start working properly. As of right now the car is making 650hp/750tq on supposedly 12.8#. I dont think the gauge is reading correctly though. The scavenge pump is acting up so we have another one coming in Monday. We will also throw a stock pulley on the blower and a manual controller when it goes back on the dyno. I will get the graph up here tomorrow.

[OttoCobra]

At SEMA, Wasn't there a claim of like 12,000 hp for this set-up?

:shrug:

Kudos to you Greg for getting this thing to run this well !!! :pouce:

[96GTS]

So the blower still spins the screws? Or is it gutted and just acting as a plenum?

[Greg@RET]

Blower is still functional. Although I keep telling him to lose it for a intake. It also creates to much heat... especially for a car that is headed to Kuwait.

[error404]

does keeping the blower on there help out any with the low-end power? or not so much?

[Greg@RET]

Hellion uses some check valves for the turbo feeds. Turns out one of them was faulty :aaron: Turbo needs to go to Turbonetics now to get re sealed.

[Greg@RET]

The owner found this site through google and told me to update this thread lol

We did another 15# 91 octane tune made 720/740 rwhp and the tires were spinning when the tq. hit :angel: Going to do a race tune in a week or so.

[Greg@RET]

Heres a vid of the race tune. 22# total 8# on the stock blower.
