TURBO MAGAZINE - The engine was pulled and the bullet was reanimated by Jeremy Allen at Inline Pro of Springfield, Va. It got battle-ready Darton sleeves before being filled with Arias 9.5:1 compression pistons, Inline Pro rods, and a stock crank. A massaged Bill Craddock head sits atop the B-series block secured with ARP hardware. The centerpieces of the turbo system are a pristine stainless turbo header from Hytech and a Garrett-based T04 that is cleverly “side-mounted” in the engine bay. The turbo comes from Turbo Direct and is one of their Big Kahuna specials. The turbine wheel is a 76 trim. The intake side features a 67mm compressor wheel with a .70 A/R while the exhaust housing has a .81 A/R. Rios still has some room to play with as this turbo is capable of pumping enough air for 700-plus horsepower.
The remainder of the turbo system consists of a TiAL Sports 40mm wastegate, GReddy Type-R blow-off valve, and an A’PEXi GT-R intercooler fitted with a DEI CryO2 intercooler spray kit. Once properly chilled like a bottle of Rothschild’s 1957, charge air moves into the engine via a large-plenum Venom intake manifold fitted with an STR 74mm throttle body. Gas venting is handled by a custom three-inch downpipe formed from stainless steel and a three-inch stainless exhaust system terminated by an A’PEXi N1 muffler canister.
Fueling duties are assigned to a Weldon high-volume pump that feeds an Inline Pro rail and Inline Pro 1,000cc injectors inventoried from its drag race program. “The MAP sensor was upgraded to a GM 3-bar unit and Brian Fisher at Inline Pro did a masterful job tuning the car with a Hondata S300,” Rios explains. Masterful?! How about 679 whp and 449 lb-ft of torque. That’s Jedi Master territory.
