J-body Love Anyone??
J-body love on a Integra website? HAHAH!!
I havent seen my buddy for a while, and I had no clue that he got the beast up and running. His car is going to be on the JCO calender, and he asked me to take some pictures for him.
Enjoy, flame suite on!
He is currently running Megasquirt complete stand alone. It runs pretty good, but spikes up and down a bit at idle.
Im sure by you guys looking at the pics know that its a 32 Valve Northstar V8 from a Cadillac. He is running a 1990 Z24 5 speed tranny, which makes him only of the only few to have a 5 speed Northstar.
He is running Viper Brembo calipers and Im pretty sure Porche rotars.
Can anyone guess rim size?

22" front and 24" rear. IMO the side skirts need to go.. This winter I think he going to re-do the whole body (new kit). This has been his second wild set-up on this car. . So I think he is done engine/tranny/suspension for a while.
As far as how much HP this car has, he has NO idea lol. He just got everything running properly last week. Megasquirt stand alone can be a real bitch

He has probably heard about him lol. His old setup was a m90 supercharger (from a grand prix) on the stock 2.4l motor. He had that setup for less then a year and decided to do something different.
All done by himself and his brother.

All I can say is I have never known anyone with as much dedication as he has. He works on that thing over 4 hours a night. Plus all day Saturday. I agree it's not the prettiest, but the amount of work he did to fit those wheels, and make that engine fit and run is remarkable.
