JJSPEC Racing - a real turbo prelude!

**Evil Goat** · 07-31-2009, 03:57 PM

Here's all the picture's we have of the build of Nick's Prelude. Some high quality, some not so high quality and in no particular order. The car is currently awaiting the shifter to be returned shipped from T1 Motorsports and it will be set...I will have the most recent pictures of the car up next week when hopefully it is all done!

All the bugs should be worked out over the remainder of this race season and Nick should be ready to compete next year!

Some stats on the car...

Seat belt tabs welded in place:

A few random pics:

PPG Dogbox gear set - Transmission built inhouse - Dark colored gears are the original heat treated gears

The ring gears side by side:

The Mainshafts with the handcuff side by side:

The countershafts:

Final Front end product...Paint is last on the list

Nick wanted the exhaust to exit out of the front bumper....anyone who knows these year model Preludes knows this is near impossible without tubing the front end....but we did it and strengthened the car in the end as well.

See what we did there? that's how you make the intake/exhaust exit without tubing the front end

Dogbox assembled!

I have to say thats a nice selection of high dollar off the shelf parts.

I Cant wait to see the final high resolution pictures of the fabrication.

**Evil Goat** · 08-01-2009, 10:33 AM

we are in hopes that the shifter returns next week, if so it should be ready to be tuned at the end of the week or the next, i'll for sure get some nice shots of the car once its all done and cleaned up.

updated the OP with some more info we forgot parts wise.

Car will be tuned by Ed at Balanced as soon as it's ready to go!

**JJSPEC Racing** · 08-07-2009, 12:58 PM

quick update...msd digital six is being instlled now, we are working extra tomorrow to finish this thing up, have it tuned next week, and hopefully the bugs worked out of it over the weekend and it's onto the single/dual cam race at SDR the 22nd

The intake that goes through the frame

top view of the intake, and the alternator bracket JJ fabbed

front view...still tweaking the velocity stack that will be mounted on the front

the other side, exhaust exiting through the frame...

the shifter with strain gauge installed...doesn't look like much, but theres magic inside

quick interior shot, still some minor stuff to do...

and under the hood...
