very very nice manifold!

Tim should have the oil pan finished today as well. The bottom of the pan matches the Bellhousing...
Couple of progress pics - flange is 3/8" 6061 designed by Automotive Design Engineering. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7...ates066ms7.jpg http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/7...ates083xc1.jpg Stay tuned for progress updates as we get the engine ready to display at SEMA in a couple weeks. Also received a "one-off" clutch package from Centerforce and also some thermal protection products from DEI. |
Everything is looking awesome! It will be good to get this week behind you as much if the fab work will be finished! Simply throw some tubing together and you will be ready for the show!! I know....only if it was that easy/fast!!
Looking great guys, you will make it in time and it will be sweet!! Can't wait to see it in the booth!! :cheers: |
Everything is looking great. Can't wait to see it under the lights at SEMA.
Its been great working with Tim and TJ on this project. If there are any shops out there that need some parts designed just let me know at www.automotivedesigneng.com Bob |
absolutely top notch work!! being in the hotrod business myself i can really appreciate exactly what goes into this type of work and yours is definately up there with the best in the business!, very well done guys, both design and execution, flawless!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Damn. Look at those welds! Can't wait to see this car come together.

Wow.... I want one :)

Centerforce E Tikit Press Release
Thank you for the positive feedback :)
http://www.centerforce.com/images/bg_header.jpg The clutch and pressure plate package arrived from Centerforce and it is a work of art! The Centerforce crew went above and beyond and definitely exceeded our expectations by building a custom clutch package to work with the Challenger's unique drive line setup. They mocked up the bellhousing and flywheel and Tilton Release Bearing, built a DFX clutch disc to work with the high gear shaft spline, and balanced the LMC pressure plate to the flywheel. www.Centerforce.com Centerforce 2008 SEMA Press Release http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2...tpressrfe7.jpg 2008 SEMA SHOW E Tikit Challenger 1970 DODGE CHALLENGER 426 C.I.D. HEMI STROKER (LMC PRESSURE PLATE AND DFX DISC) Centerforce® is proud to feature their LMC and DFX series clutch systems on the Bruning Auto Design “E Tikit” Challenger. Come see the engine and driveline from this twin turbocharged 6.1L HEMI at the Cone Engineering Booth #23475 during the 2008 SEMA Show. “E Tikit” will be a custom built 1970 Challenger that utilizes a Centerforce 10.5” Light Metal Clutch (LMC) Pressure Plate and DFX Friction Disc. The LMC Pressure Plate features a CAD/CAM designed, aircraft quality, billet aluminum pressure plate that utilizes the Centerforce patented Ball Bearing fulcrum technology. This system, coupled with the famed Centerforce centrifugal weight system works to increase the Pressure Plate clamping force while maintaining an easy pedal effort. The Centerforce DFX disc is a high friction, sprung hub performance disc that utilizes cerametallic friction material for a smooth engagement and excellent holding capacity. For more information on Centerforce visit www.centerforce.com or call (928) 771-8422. To see the build-up of “E Tikit” please visit: www.etikitchallenger.com |
wow - nice

The factory 6.1 HEMI coils are mounted on top of the valve covers and covered by valve cover covers. Not a huge "cover" fan, plus the turbo headers come up and forward next to the valve covers, so the coils were relocated.
The 8.5 mm spark plug wires are protected with DEI's "Protect-A-Wire" which are made from a high temperature resistant fiberglass composite materialand will withstand 1200*F direct continuous heat. http://www.designengineering.com/images/header.jpg http://www.designengineering.com/ima..._A_Wire300.jpg www.designengineering.com 16 plug wires later... http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/653...ates003xd8.jpg |
Packaging 8 twin plug coils under the intake was fun... The coils and plug wires are below the intake flange so that they do not interfere with the fuel rails and injectors. A lot more clearance with the stock style intake...
Tim built a tray to hold the coils mounted by stand-offs using the MDS plug mounting tabs. http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/642...ates008dq5.jpg Coils going in http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5...ates011hh4.jpg The ARP stainless hardware from Totally Stainless arrived as well http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4...ates013ou6.jpg Aluminum top "cover" that holds the coils in place and plug wires installed http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/2...ates018aw2.jpg http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/1...ates016to7.jpg |
sweet, can't wait to see the roller at SEMA! I was hoping you were gonna bring the car and not just the engine....

Received the ball bearing turbos from Precision Turbo on Friday. Ceramic coated the center section in hi-temp black and the turbine housings in silver.
Turbine Housings - before pics http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5...usings1rt0.jpg Touched up, then bead blasted and ready for coating http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/2...usings2hb6.jpg So here are a couple pictures of the finished product (1 of 2) sitting on my not so new line-x covered tailgate... http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/808...ates019iq3.jpg Side view- http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/6...ates023da7.jpg Close up of the center and turbine housing- http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7...ates024ff4.jpg |
Few more turbo pics (sorry, been a long time coming!)

Everything loos great

You Haden-boys (private joke.... sort of) do some AWESOME work up there in Washington!

Engine display ready to go... We just finished our first set of sheetmetal fabricated aluminum valve covers. More details to come (billet machined o-ring inner and outer flanges, pictures, etc.) http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/9...play028vx9.jpg top view from the rear - 1/2" stainless hard lines for the breather tubes and from the Y-block up to the -8 fuel rails http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3...play009bd2.jpg 3/4 front - stainless hardline that feed the RC Engineering 71lb/hour fuel injectors... http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7...play027az5.jpg Close-up picture of the oil fill and breather line and the fuel line behind it http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/2...play026oy2.jpg Heading out first thing in the morning. Looks like the weather is a bit nicer in Vegas... |
Looks killer guys....very nice work!!
Have a safe trip and I'll see ya Tuesday!! :cheers: |
:beavis:

I know I've said it somewhere else in this thread, but I'll say it again. The attention to detail and skill shown with this build is impressive.
Keep up the good work. Builds like this inspire me to learn and work on my skills. At the same time, it reminds me that I have a long way to go. :hail: |
I spent some time looking at this and I just cant tell you how cool all the details are. I cant wait to see the car its going to be insane. Very nice work guys and your attention to details is impressive.
got any updates on the car, when do you expect to have it done, when are you going to paint? what color |
All the cool one off parts look so cool.
I'm glad Tim and TJ gave me the opportunity to design some parts for the engine. Hopefully I'll be designing more parts for the car as the project progresses. |

Stunning work !!
Any chance of getting a set of those valve covers? Also I was wondering what you have done to the shortblock and heads along with power output you think this will make ? I also plan to turbo my DEMON in the future and was just curious. |
Quote:
Short block is a 426 stroker from Plum Floored built for forced induction- 8.8:1 compression, h-beam rods, billet main caps, arp hardware, and custom turbo grind camshaft. Heads are Mopar Performance ported 392 heads. Goal is to keep it streetable - 700-800 range (depending on boost level) |
I know you guys can build anything but if we have a hinge that will get you started let me know and we will get a set out to you for testing. I see you had the stock hinges on there and I am sure you guys are going to rebuild that section. We have some Dodge stuff that you might be able to adapt over and make work.
Just some thoughts if you are going to build your own that is cool and I totally understand. keep the pics coming |
Yet another magazine...........
Nice little write-up in the latest issue of HOT ROD Magazine!
