ehsnils Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 what was wrong with the first pic? I'm not sure - looks fine to me - aside from being dark because it isn't edited. And it's hosted in Drupal/Gallery2 while the other two are directly provided. Maybe depends on web browser. I did edit the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin1657615274 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 1990 Ford Festiva Shogun (Owned by Jay Leno) http://www.shotimes.com/images/SHOgun/Leno2.jpg http://www.shotimes.com/images/SHOgun/Leno5.jpg From "Turbo magazine" issue unknown (anyone?) : The Shogun is a Ford Festiva-based road rocket that, taking into account it's beefy rear fender flares and aggressive air vents, looks like it was created to do battle with the Renault R5. The Shogun was a concept car developed in 1990 to shocase the talents of the Yamaha-based SHO V6 engine. These cars were manufactured as a join venture between Chuck Beck of Special Editions Inc., in Upland, California and Rick Titus and only 9 were originally produced. The mid-engine rear-wheel drive dynamo relied on the SHO Taurus for a good deal of its parts. The most inspiring, of course, is the 3.0-liter, 24-valve, Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) SHO V6 (Jay is insulated from the 3.0 liter's loudness by a plexiglass divider). Thanks to Special Editions, the Shogun lives on and can be constructed if someone with a donor vehicle has the courage. A Ford Festiva is agumented with numerous high-quality body pieces including fender-flares, a trick front airdam outfitted with PIAA driving lights, special vented hood and rear fenders with venting grills. With 220 horsepower and a 2190-pound gross vehicle weight, the cars 9.95:1 power-to-weight ratio promises to pack a punch (note: with the shot of nitrous, this changes drastically from 9.95:1 to 7.06:1). A true enthusiast like the rest of us, 220 horses just wouldn't cut it with Jay. So, being a man with a sensitive funny bone, he (naturally) turned to laughing gas for a power infusion. The car was delivered to Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) in Cypress, California where a dry manifold nitrous system was installed with NOS's trick throttle-sensitive Progressive Nitrous Oxide Injection. A dry manifold setup injects the nitrous int othe intake tract just upstream of the throttle body. Once activated, additional fuel provided by raising the fuel pressure from about 40psi to approximately 75psi. The Progressive Nitrous Oxide Injection circuitry controls the rate in which the nitrous is intrdoced. Technically, the primary Super Powershot nitrous solenoid is pulsewith modulated proportional to throttle position. In the car, this translates to the following. Once half throttle is attained nitrous is injected in a linear fashion as the throttle heads to wide open. At wide open throttle the nitrous system is also wide open providing as much gas as the system is jetted for. Jay's Shogun is jetted to provide 300 to 310 horsepower, a gain of approximately 90 ponies. The introduces the nitrous in a much less shocking manner as the additional power comes on smoother. This is good, comsidering the SHogun can be made quite tail-happy with a little right-foot effort. The system on the Shogun includes a 15-pound bottle capable of 3-4 minutes of WOT operation, a bottle heater and an electronic bottle valve that opens and closes the valve from the cockpit. The hatchback runs wild SuperTrapp mufflers which allow Jay to wake up the neighbors at a moments notice. Performance testing stock Shoguns were capable of posting some pretty impressive numbers. The car had published 0-60 times in the 4.6 second range. The Shogun sported quarter-mile performance of 12.9 seconds. Note these are WITHOUT power adders. Supposedly, Jay Leno drove this car to the set the first day of his job with the "Tonight Show" On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had one.. well.. it wasn't a VR4.. it looked nice, but it was too heavy.. And the VR-4 weighs more.. just under 3800 lbs. It was fast, just heavy.. 300-500 lbs heavier than the LGT.. One thing I will note though, if you get one that has the tall round spoiler, don't get it or swap it with the low deck spoiler. The tall one completely blocks your rear view mirror.. you can't see anything behind you until it's right on your rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight becomes irrelevant when you bolt on twin big 16G turbos and dyno over 600 AWHP. Ive been in a VR-4 that had twin 16G's, it was scary fast. On the search for a new DD...

OutbackXT05 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Cars just look awsome when they are in the middle of being built. Me and my buddy took this project on. It took 2 18 year old youngins 2 days to drop the RB in and get it to start. Not to bad for our first swap. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/rb25.jpg Saw speed racer at a little show. I though it was clean. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/speedracer.jpg And heres a 1050 rwhp corvette. And thats untuned. Later that week he got tuned and put down right around 1400 lol. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/1050hpvette.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planelazy Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 S13's always have a place in my heart.. but I fancy the brick style headlights over the projectors. I have a hard time identifying what RB motors are... between the sizes.. is that a 2, 2.5, or 2.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Its a 25. Between the 25 and 26 an easy way to tell if they r stock is the intake manifold. The 25 goes over the top so the intercooler pipes are on the same side. Also the front timing belt covers r different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
