i thought i would do a little write up on my brothers project. he has had this Capri for 20 years. it has been black for nearly 20 years and it had a 302ci Windsor which at one time was the fastest Naturally Aspirated 302ci in Australia and 2nd fastest in the world. it was a stout little engine running consistent 10.50's@127mph he did well over 500 passes with that engine before deciding to strip it down and freshen it up, even then it still looked like it could have run another 500. while it was out he decided to take my other brother's 2JZ Corolla which run's 8.4@160 for a few passes, after loving the power of that he was convinced that turbo was the way to go. so for the past few years he has been doing this, he wanted to stay legal, so going off the weight of the car he went with a Lexus 4.0L V8 with twin GT35/40's, it uses the factory block and heads, Argo Rods and Ross Pistons, the heads have been ported and flow a fair bit more than factory, as you can tell a bit of work had to go into figuring out how to fit it all in there but we go it . Norm at Northmead Auto Centre did the Powerglide. after alot of problems with cams etc we finally tuned it last week it made 648rwhp at 23psi on BP Ultimate, which isn't too bad. we drove it out Friday 26/3 to WSID for Full Throttle Friday, the car weighed in at a smidgin under 3100lbs, even with big problems of stalling it up to get her on boost, it ran 2 9.40 passes at 148mph all on BP Ultimate. after we work a few things out should see it in the very low 9's possibly 8's at over 150mph. not bad for a car that is driven to and from the track, a couple times during the week and every weekend without sounding biased it is probably one of the most neatest race Capri's out there.
