So it turns out the MOONCRAFT VX is not only turboed but intercooled as well!!!

Nice pics for reference to see what your plumbing options are if anyone ever decides to go this route.

In the shots in this thread you can see how much ground clearence they gave up. Unacceptable in my opinion.

This has to be the most rediculous poorly engineered turbo installation I have ever seen. A shining chrome plated example of how NOT to do something.

Here's what you need: The new DI engine from the '04 Axiom + Supercharger = Economy & Power.

I'm sure a factory crate engine from Isuzu would cost less than that plumbing nightmare from Mooncraft!

I think it's sick as all hell. Dont be jealous...props to that guy in japan with the sick custom widebody and turbo

[WormGod]

Did he ever sell that thing? I remember he was talking about selling it, and possibly creating that ground effect kit for like $5k US.

And I must agree, that getting a crate engine with a supercharger is MUCH less a headache than that intercooler gerbil maze. As cool as it looks, it's a shame that you are forced to have that ground effect kit just so hide it all. ;eekr;

Will the Ascender V8 mate up to our tranny?

Jealous of what?

[andy454]

The ascender has too much hp for our 4L35 trans.

Besides, you don't want that GM POS mill under the hood anyway!

The point of my posting this thread was to show that :

A) Unbenounced to me, the MOONCRAFT VX was actually Intercooled as well

&

B) There are new photos of it that "I" have never seen before and to share them with you all.

It had nothing to do with power output, the mounting locations and so on.

Oh well
