The Mark is Supercharged

[mlschultz]

Hi all, Here is a picture and video update of my S/C project. It will be dialed in the next few days, and to the dyno within the next week or so.

This S/C build was professionally managed and installed by Aric Carrion of Injected Engineering - Kennesaw, GA.

ph# 678.449.6871 Injected Engineering Coming Soon!

I highly recommend Aric and his company. As you can see, his work speaks for itself

The engine internals are completely stock, and the plan is to lay down 400-450rwhp. Since this is a stock motor, we all know they will not live on the edge too long.

Therefore, real world numbers might be closer to 400rwhp. Aric will decide this while tuning on the dyno. I will post the dyno results as soon as I can, so stay tuned...

Went to the dyno last night Here is the video of the last two pulls and the dyno sheet.

Aric is going to go ahead and install a Vortech mini race blow off valve to help smooth the idle pulse, and put his boost gauge on it to see what psi it is running at. He still wants to look into a couple things yet, so this is an excellent starting point, or finish point for that matter - since I am already happy with it the way it is.

The weather was nasty yesterday for a tune - hot, and raining, but the intercooler did it's job keeping the air temp only 8 degrees above what the Mark's outside temp gauge showed.

On the down side... I have major traction issues now

very nice setup!!!

[mlschultz]

A lot has happened to The Mark in the past 6 months. Here is a update on the build:

The compressor failed back in August, and was replaced under the Vortech warranty. A 3.1 pulley was installed and it now makes 401rwhp & 318rwtq @ 7k rpm & 10psi.

Best track et to date is now: 12.162 @ 113.42

Here are some links to videos, pictures, and info on the build thus far:

It was very tough decision, but I found myself at a crossroad with the Mark. I have decided to keep it in the 400-500rwhp range. I just do not see the point of going any further with the power at this time. Therefore, mostly bottom end stuff is being planned to be done. Here is a highlight list:

very nice..great pics ...very nice welding on the i/c piping...

[svt13.59]

very nice project, those brakes are blinging!. I would say the stroker is the way to go, but if ur on a budget just do the forged bottom end, throw a set of 96-98 cobra heads and valve train on it along with the 98-96 manifold, that thing would be a beast. On another note, i would think it would be really unique to see a 5sp in any built up mark. Since they are all auto, would be a neat swap. Ive never seen one

[mlschultz]

Thanks, Guys The Classic Tube SS lines are now installed both front and rear. I added some more pictures to the link above. Aric really liked the Classic tube kit, that included new brackets too. A very nice kit.

He is going to put some drag racing rear hub studs in, and try a 1/4" hub centric spacer in the rear to do two things. 1) Get the tire off the sway bar. 2) Get the wheel closer to the inside edge of the fender.

I am not sure if this will work or not yet, because it is hard to tell if there is a 1/4" to give between the inner fender and the tire the way it sits now. Unless he is thinking of rolling the fenders. It is very difficult to judge this, and Aric is exploring options now to see what is most visually appealing with the stance. I totally trust his judgment with this, and he knows exactly what I want.

Nothing is totally decided yet, but with the many curves that the Mark has, the look of the rear favors pushing the rims out more towards the fenders, while keeping it inside the wheel wells.

It is all about the stance...

ALL DONE! THANKS ARIC, RYAN, AND TYLER WITH INJECTED ENGINEERING!

Been a while, but here is a update... The Mark has a new motor, and is in the finishing stages as I speak, getting ready for the dyno tune. Here is a link to some photos, and a current list of mods done to the car. The Mark is going to be featured in a upcoming issue of Super Rod Magazine.

Here is the first Super Rod Magazine article that you can view online now of the Mark's engine build. This is the August 2008 issue of Super Rod, that you can find a Barnes and Noble, and other book stores. There will be a follow up feature done when the Mark is all done.

PS: Thanks again to Aric and Will for making this all happen!
