Rey's Prerunner Build AKA Project Darkstar

Yup you need to do a T2S GFF run. I might even NOT go to damn music festival to stay and witness it. Stupid festivals!

edit: I’m really regretting I didn’t just hang out with my friends (edit again) fuck fuck fuck

 

I’m going to try and be there next year. Be awesome to hang with everyone.

 

Build update 5/23/23
Injectors have arrived and additional heat wrapping of the prospeed box completed. Once installed I’ll see how much additional rubber sealing to the fenderwell is needed for the box.

Rcf TB and whipple adapter sent off to Snivlous so he can work his magic on a new plate. Hoping to throw this all in 3rd weekend of June after my work trip.

 

Next you'll need a CF drive shaft. You'll shave 15lbs and look even faster!

 

Lol we all need that apparently

Build Update 6/27/23

Installed the Cravenspeed mount and AEM gauges. Just need to get the o2 bung welded in for the AFR gauge. Tuning soon hopefully.

 

How were you able to get remote tuned before without an AFR sensor and gauge? Did the tuner have a probe in tailpipe?

 

Our boy here swapping parts left and right, and the whole time has zero telemetry and never got a good timed run. Rey you're killing me, but I do like your style

 

They were able to tune within HP. Said for none pullied they can correct within factors. For pullied, 750cc etc they need the gauge. Pulled the plugs and they looked perfect. So we will see how it does after.

 

Haha who needs times when I know I’m out in front in the dirt either way lol

 

IT'S FOR THE SCIENCE

 

Haha! Yes, I’ll work on it! I’ll try and get draggy and Dyno info. Got a stillen tube coming to mod the prospeed heat box lol

 

I wouldn’t mind getting a copy of this list?

 

Sent!

 

Me too! Are there any benefits of doing this besides looking cool?

 

For those without fender liners yes it keeps the intakes out of the elements in the fender well and moves them into the engine bay.

 

Did the RCF TB plug right in?

 

Plug and play yes but needed a throttle plate adapter. Which @snivilous can help with

 

Build Update 9/18/23

Finally got the truck tuned with the new blower setup. Took awhile as we were chasing an evap issue then decided to order smaller blower pullies and belts to try out. Currently see and hold 9.5psi and a spike of 10.8 psi. The truck runs so hard can't wait to get it out in the dirt to see how it feels. Trip planned in Nov so hopefully knocking out a few items before then i.e. install the new solid Offroad motor mounts etc. Hopeful hit list below before the trip.

Install motor mounts
Truss rear end
Bucket seats
More forward lighting
Custom exhaust update

 

Build update 10/19/23

Got the fiberglass painted this week. Next thing todo is lineX a few critical areas. Hopefully snag more pics once I throw the new headlight on and maybe a wash.

 

Dude, after the unpainted look was rocked for so long, this is basically a super stealth mod!

 

Sleeper for sure now lol

 

More black to get water spots out of! Yay!

 

And pin stripes and everything else lol

 

Build update 12/28/23

installed the following- rr racing race damper, xat light weight water pump and fan pulleys, solid offroad motor mounts and upgraded the power steering cooler. Gathering a few more things to install the Alcon big brake kit next.

Planning continues for the next big round of redoing the suspension. We’ve got some billet parts in the works with @snivilous. If it all works out should be sick.

 

Build update 2/5/24

Updated the exhaust to a new SPD Performance equal length race version system. Truck lost 1-1.5 lbs of boost meaning flow is way up. Sounds awesome and performs better. Still waiting on a few more things to install the Alcon kit but should have that done this month.

Then I'll move down the punch list. TBD on when the truck will get dropped off for the next phase of the suspension mods.

You should keep the bubble wrap on there, it'll help when you go over those taller speed bumps on the way to Williams Sonoma.

 

Bubble wrap helps with keep the rear lighter. Science.
