NX Duramax Mustang gets New ZZ manifold , just in time for Hot Rod Drag Week 2010

[COMP461]

Even with the New Wolfe Racecraft Mustang Chassis coming along for this winter, and the current Mustang’s being up for sale. The Nitrous Express Duramax Powered Mustang is getting a few needed updates.

First on the list was the Intake manifold. Greg at ZZ custom Fabrication whipped up this work of art , here are pictures of final fitment between the Industrial Injection 72 mm phatshaft turbo and the manifold .
The industrial Injection CP3 pump was also ungraded as well.
This year the Mustang will have to go head to head with gassers, in small block power adder, so a low nine or high eight second average will be needed. The cam was upgraded as well, to the newest MaxSpool Dmax Pro Grind.
This cam will be .550 lift , and a few more degrees of duration as well. The MaxSpool springs will handle this with ease. With over 15,000 miles, 80 + 6000rpm quarter mile blast, and many land speed runs , the springs had lost no more than 1% of their seat pressure.

We will all hate to see this car go to a new owner , but its far better than letting the drive train move to the new chassis , and losing this car back to the gas world
if anyone would like to own this car , give Mike a call.

here is the original manifold at the Texas Mile

He always does amazing stuff. That is a work of art. Nitrous going into each plenum thats just nasty.

This is a great way to tune each individual cylinder to equalize Egt’s as well. The individual runner manifold allows you to do some great things with the engine. Notice the tapered runners. This allows the air to make a better transaction from the plenum, and then gain velocity, giving the column of air the ability to use inertia to pack behind the closed intake valve.


Here is a picture of my manifold going thru nitrous flow trials

This manifold is becoming a blower manifold, for an engine program that Tommy at KPE is building for a 69 GTO Judge. This is going to be a cool ride, AC power steering, and no turbo’s so the dual exhaust should really sound great .

That looks cool as hell, hope it does well in Drag Week.

Mike and The Mustang won the class for the last 2 years.

the motor is now back in the car.

 

[DIESEL_POWER]

Looks very nice!!

 

[jpowel29]

Awesome work

 

[COMP461]

Yes it is. Greg did his home work on the length, and tapper of the runners, the engine should really pick up the entire power band.
You should see the 24 valve / CR version , it’s on several motors now at KPE

 

[05chevy]

thats a sweet setup there

 

[COMP461]

more pictures

notice the individual NX in to each port , its so that the flow can be equal in each cylinder. this is tuned off the individual EGT's from the RPM perfromance data logger .

 

[COMP461]

hope to see everyone some where along the line at drag week this year , I'm taking Project X Diesel "the Beetle again

 

[emiller3]

That looks sweet. Nice work.

 

[COMP461]

Greg had some really cool new manifolds; including a blower manifold for a 69 GTO Judge with a Dmax that KPE is currently building. This with be a true cruiser with AC, power steering, and all, at about 600 hp . I can’t wait to heat true dual exhaust without turbo’s.
There are also two pair of manifolds for boat motors going the sand box.
Expect a lot more out of Greg and Tommy at KPE they are innovators, not copiers.

What happened to the chevelle you posted pics of last year?

 

[Timbeaux]

You Mean Camaro Scott?

 

[SCHOOL BUS]

I didn't remember what it was, but it was almost done last year before drag week. Then we didn't hear about the program ever again.
