BLACK ARTS RACING PRESENTS

"THE BLACK ARTS PROJECT"

Welcome to Black Arts Racing's Car Domain page. What is Black Arts Racing? Black Arts Racing is just a name I came up with for my grass roots racing efforts.   Our philosophy  is pretty simple. Go as fast as we can for the smallest amount of money possible! It's not that I can't afford to dump big money into my car, but I'd rather use that money to make more money!!

All racing is funded by me and my family, In other words, we are not in this to make money, nor do we have sponsors. However, We will gladly except any and all help or sponsorship. With that being said, Welcome and I hope you enjoy viewing our page. 

The goal for the The Black Arts project is simple.  Build a low 11 second street car! This is no trailor queen! I want to build a car that can be driven to the race track (with interior), rip off some 11 second passes and driven home.

Exterior and motor

Turbo & exhaust

Just finished installing this 50 trim turbo kit to replace the broken modified stock (E1) turbo that I had on the car.  I purchased it from Scott at Forward Motion.  I don't have any quarter mile times on the 50 trim set up. Hopefully I'll have some posted in the spring.

Custom 02 and 3" downpipe

Nitrous system

Purge & arming switchs & Zex control module

Supension & drive train

For now the car has a set of Eibach springs and stock struts. It also has Prothane race inserts in the top and bottom motor mounts to help combat wheel hop. What you don't see is the SPEC Stage II clutch. I also have a short shifter and Rage-Tek shift bushings. I will be upgrading to a full set of motor mounts in the very near future.

For wheels I wanted something a lil different, so I went with 17X7 Konig Unknowns rapped in 245/45/17 Khumo tires. I also have a extra set of Konig  unknowns rapped in 245/45/17 BFG drag radials.

  Management & nitrous control

When it comes to engine management and nitrous control , I wanted to keep things super simple! I Have a Diablo Sport for tuning fuel and timing, and a N2MB WOT box & 2-step . What's a WOT box? Learn more at N2MB Racing.

The car is also equipped with an AEM wideband. This is used to monitor the car's air fuel ratio.  A special thanks to my racing buddy scott (Legion24 on SRT4 forums) for installing my wideband and wot box. THANKS SCOTT!!!  

I plan on controlling the nitrous kit via N2MB's nitrous control module (plugs into the WOT box), Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to test it last season, but Im fairly confident I'll get it installed and working this up and coming season.

I recently installed a Halman pro series in-cabin manual boost controller. Unfortunately I'm fuel limited so I'm stuck at @ 16 pounds of boost. Once I get a mail order tune for my diablo tuner, I will be able to install my DW 750 injectors and turn the boost up to around 23 PSI.
