Part 1:

Back in 2014, the car got it’s first work done at PMF with a addition of a full cage. All along the goal has been street/show with some autocross and drifting so the cage was built along NASA/SCCA rule, but got plenty of eye candy in the way of dimpled gussets.

Part 2:

On the car’s return, a V mount radiator and intercooler setup was fabricated as well as the intercooler piping. This included custom end tanks for the intercooler, some tight radius cold pipes and of course, some eye candy to dress it up. Along with dressing up this engine bay, the shroud fits tight to the intercooler and keeps the air flowing through it, and not around it.

Part 3:

To handle the big boost this 2J is going to be making, the LPS Alphalocs were used to ensure there would be not couplers leaking.

Part 4:

With big boost comes the need for lots of fuel. A Radium surge tank with dual Hellcat pumps in it, fed by a single Hellcat pump in the stock tank feeds a 5/8" hardline run up to the Radium fuel rail. Pictured below is also the PBM complete rear arm and bushing kit as well as the 8.8 Ford IRS conversion kit.
