Looks great I bet it sounds great too.

Fantastic and great job, sir! If we're lucky, we have a few rides in our life like this, that we manage to become one with and these are the rides we never forget, nor does anyone who trusts us enough to ride with us in them. Enjoy the edge!

I don't know whether or not you installed roll bars Duke, but I sure hope you have!

P.S. I saw a dark green Tiger on the weekend, the licence plate read "dnt try" It had a dual exahuast I'm sure it was not stock.

I'm lovin' the "don't go there" vibe this car has....

I'd guess it comes from "daddy"

I salute you, sir.

I'd say this thread so your followers and future readers can see how far this car has come. Like a timeline I guess.

For those that want to hear what the Tiger sounds like. A little sample. Driving videos soon.

Sounds quite menacing there Duke!

davintosh · Post by **davintosh** » May 21, 2011 2:16 PM

That tiger's got a growl.

Awesome work, Duke!

What's next?

Enjoy the car. Kill some Corvetts and ChrisM's car when he decides to come out of hiding. "Deeds speak louder than words"

I also have a HS friend who has a supercharged 90 Saleen Mustang that I am going to spank in July when I drive down to Houston.

I'm not going to lie, that's a pretty badass car. I never used to think much of them, but now I want one!

Duke · Post by **Duke** » May 22, 2011 3:42 PM

Able to get on the Tiger more now......took Alex for a ride and gave it 90% throttle in 2nd gear up to 5K rpm. It pulled so hard that it scared Alex. He said "what happens if the brakes don't work?" I told him, thats why you test everything out very carefully and slowly work into max performance, testing the envelope so to speak. When I get some decent rubber on the car, it is going to induce tunnel vision.

It is the fastest car I have ever driven.

TSMacNeil · Post by **TSMacNeil** » May 22, 2011 3:58 PM

Sounds like it twists up pretty freely.
I bet it's a piss to drive.

I love this thread. Wish I could've taken a ride at the meet-up. Maybe next year?

Sir, you fucking rock.

Sorting out the fuel delivery system. Recently I ran 3/8" aluminum line from the rear tanks to the carb. Just got the fittings on the carb worked out and have the fuel pressure gauge working again. As I suspected, the 35 GPH pump will not sustain 6-7 psi under full throttle through all gears.

I have a 95 GPH pump ready to install in the trunk with a large fuel filter. Just ordered the aluminum 6 AN hose end fittings. When finished, there will be only 4" of 3/8 rubber line total in the system. The rest will all be aluminum hard line and fittings.

This will also eliminate the fuel pump and filter being located right over one of the mufflers. Sunbeam moved the pump to the same location in the trunk I am in the Mk II Tigers.

TSMacNeil · Post by **TSMacNeil** » Jun 11, 2011 1:15 PM

Wow thats a lot of fuel...I agree, get it away from the mufflers.

RoyW · Post by **RoyW** » Jun 11, 2011 8:13 PM

Duke,

Simply awesome!!

I can't imagine what the power must feel like when you get it to the ground! Plus, the car looks great!

I just had a pulley change made on the CT supercharger (boost to 8lbs), plus bigger injectors, an adjustable fuel pressure reg, and a re-mapping to boost the NSX to 362 rwhp... and that feels terrific on a 2900 lb car. I would love to feel the power of that Tiger... from a seat on the inside, not looking at the taillights from one of my cars

Congrats on a great job!

-RoyW

THANKS Roy!

With the engine dyno numbers, I should have ~353 to the wheels with around 2500 lbs (gonna get it weighed next week).....so your NSX should feel about the same as the Tiger. I am sure it is much more refined too. The Tiger is just an angry monster right now.

I am looking forward to bigger wheels, some drag strip time, and finally dyno time to get it dialed in better.

ALMOST everything looks great. I give you a 99.8%. I just can't believe you would go thru so much work to perfect a car and skimp on the hard brake lines.

I know, it's not mine. Please invest in some tubing bending pieces.

They are on the "list". Other items on the "list" are things like re-chrome all of the hardware, strip and repaint the trunk, replace the wood pieces under the battery tray..... this list is hard to get too because everything on the "list" is a nice to do but not required.

I will eventually get to it....the chroming is gonna be very expensive.

Holy crap, you've got all that HP and you're still driving around with tiny solid front rotors??? I thought you upgraded those.
