WL: 88 CSX-T Shadow #947

[4sfed]

Where to start..... It's an old school 2.5 short block. Stock crank and rods, JE 8V pistons. O-ring'd. The cylinder head is from a 16V DOHC 2.4/2.0L (Neon)External oil drains and feed. I ported it and installed +1mm valves. Stock 2.0L cams now but plan on getting bigger once all the bugs are worked out. I fabricated the intake manifold and exhaust manifold. 3 1/2" DP to 3" exhaust. 4.7l throttle body. It has an SC61 turbo. ALKYCONTROL alcohol injection with an M10 & M15 nozzle. It was internally wastegated but I just fabricated an external for better control of boost. I replaced the manual trans with an auto with a MVB and good lock up converter. Installed a Haltech E8. I am currently in the process of tuning/getting the set up right. I just switched from a dizzy to DIS. Hope to have it all ready by spring.
There are times I want to get it painted and other times I just want to leave it because it really looks bad.

TD...FTMFW

I will get Scott to get some pictures and get them posted.

[86Shelby]

Here's a pic for ya. Can't wait to race it with the Spirit. :Thumb:

$30 in white spray paint. $20 in beer. 1 afternoon and the car is back to white. I'll donate the tape & newspapers.

[4sfed]

Thanks for the pic Ray. I was maybe just thinkin some scuffing and clear. I can also get a really good deal on a wrap but I dont know if I could do that to it.

[C.J.]

definitely keep original paint!

[c0z]

Yeah, it looks badass as is. But I also think it would look cool rattlecanned flat black. I'd like to race ya this spring also.

[coop]

finally...a decent WL

[SHIFTER]

hawt... tho the m/t to a/t swap was dumb.... imo

[c0z]

Having a faster car is dumb?

[Thunder]

Having a faster car is dumb?

x2

can't wait til our rematch sometime this year Chad.... this time from a dig :D

For sure..

[86Shelby]

hawt... tho the m/t to a/t swap was dumb.... imo

Oh hell no. Not on a TD that you want to get out of the hole quickly. Yes, it is that much trouble to get these cars out of the hole.

[4sfed]

Gotta love torque..

[Cobra Commander]

It would be completely STUPID to spray over that paint job. I would never ever change the way it looks.

Sweet car!

[STOK5OH]

I look forward to settin you out 6 cars and putting on another 6 by the trap.:)

and don't you dare change that hideous thing! love teh ugly.

[Cobra Commander]

The CSX-T was non intercooled, right? (compared to the regular CSX)

No need to flame if I'm wrong. I was just curious. :)

[srt-4_uk]

that one has an intercooler. you can see it peeking behind the bumper

[Cobra Commander]

Haha, good eye. I was referring to the car in stock form. For some reaosn I remember the T's being non intercooled turbos since they were all through rental companies.

[srt-4_uk]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_CSX

[Cobra Commander]

Ah. Well that answers my question. :lol:

Those ugly little turds are pretty cool in my book.

[srt-4_uk]

all old school dodge turbos are cool. I look forward to seeing this and the shadow on the road this summer. Now if someone else would get their omni to push some more power.

[Thunder]

Why push the Omni when you have a killer Spirit.

[srt-4_uk]

Why not?

O i've seen that big bad boy before

[turbodaytona87]

Damn, didn't realize so many people had these around here.

[86Shelby]

There's more than you think, Nate. ;)

[4sfed]

The dizzy is gone!! DIS w/a 36-1 trigger. Just waiting for my 120LB injectors and wide band, then I can wrap all the wires and we are good to tune.:)

Thanks for the pics Scott..

[86Shelby]

120lbs! I don't think the intake will suppoort that much weight...

[Lepa]

lol @ ratrod, looks ratty as usual Chad, and I love it.

[turbodaytona87]

There's more than you think, Nate. ;)

Evidently! I knew of you, Adam, Kaleb(Caleb?), and maybe a couple others I've seen driving around(there's a black and yellow one I saw a few weeks ago, don't really know if they're enthusiasts though)

[supercrackerbox]

Damn I miss my CSXT.

[CrazyPete]

looks great chad maybe this summer we can line them up and see how the shelby stacks up to the dsm

[Kelvin]

what turbo and why 120s?

[4sfed]

what turbo and why 120s?

SC61. 30+ psi and maybe E85

[4sfed]

Sounds good Brian but I think it should be how the DSM stackes up against the Shelby..:):)

[Kelvin]

what turbo and why 120s?

SC61. 30+ psi and maybe E85

what you mean maybe you better cause i am but alittle more boost. what trim and ar is yours?

[4sfed]

69 trim, .63 a/r ported S cover. What do you have???

[Bobby Light]

good question. i still need a drivetrain and fuel system and exhaust system just to get it going. after that ill be looking at nitrous drag radials/slicks roll bar. hopefully this year? i dono thats a long shot. i started building it around mid march 07.

[4sfed]

I'ts a big undertaking to build that kind of car from scratch. Good luck.

[Kelvin]

i agree. i have a few people helping me :)

[turbodaytona87]

Chad, tell me about the tranny. Where did you get a new torque converter from and how much? Any other mods done to it (I assume so but w/e)?

[4sfed]

Chad, tell me about the tranny. Where did you get a new torque converter from and how much? Any other mods done to it (I assume so but w/e)?

The trans has turbo or V6 clutch packs so it holds more clutches. All the mods done from trans section you can find on turbododge. Manual VB, With some of my own twists. OBX carrier (works great) The converter is a sore subject:(
I bought a USED 4000 stall LOCKUP converter from a guy on TD. I installed it and to works great stall wise but the lockup is ****ed. The only way I wanted to run such a loose converter was to be able to lock it up. So I have to send that converter back to Pat's Performance and have it redone. So right now I have a stock lock up converter in it. It made 3 or 4 dyno runs at low boost 290ishWHP and it allready is noisy:(
We will see how long it lasts at high boost ???whp.

[86Shelby]

Oh come on Mr. I live on the edge. Don't push it till you get the converter back. Do you really want to tear it down again because the stock unit puked crap throughout the trans? That's just the Safety Sally in me speaking up.

[4sfed]

What fun would that be mother goose-- err. mother grosse:lol: If I didnt spend all my spare time working on the Shelby what would I do with my time. The problem is I am too cheap to send that converter in. It's been setting on my bench for months.

[onedayjake]

Send it ****er it's going to be spring time before you know it!

[RabidB4C]

I wondered what that squeak was yesterday...

[SHIFTER]

God i want this car though....ugh

[supercrackerbox]

You and me both. There is a 99% perfect one rolling around town though, just saw it a few weeks ago. #793

[4sfed]

So I was doing some tuning/fixing(crank trigger) and I thought the motor acuired a rod knock. I have wanted to put some good rods in it so I ordered a set. Then I checked the bearings and they were all ok. WTF. The motor is coming out so I can fix my external oil drains that leak and check things out. I'm thinking that the converter finally crapped out. I took some good advise and finally sent my converter in.
Hopefully in a week or two I will be back on the dyno with big enough injectors, a converter that works and locks up, crank trigger that wont miss at high RPM. God I love cars.

[STOK5OH]

Will it reliably hook?

[4sfed]

We will find out. There are alot of TD's out there that run in the 10's.(with less power and lighter) My EMS has a decent boost control vs: road speed. The Auto will be way better than the manual that I had in it before.

[4sfed]

I should also say that I do not plan on drag racing it. Maybe some SR but I mainly built it because I love the car and wanted something different than a normal 8V TD.
If I wanted to drag race I have a tubbed cutlass at home in my shop.
If I wanted to drag race a would not have a neglected sprint car at home in my shop.

[STOK5OH]

Dragrace it or BAN.

[Lepa]

Dragrace it or BAN.




Or at least give me a lot of rides :rofl:

[4sfed]

Motor's apart. Rods are on the way. New set of rings. Found out that flex plate was broken all the way around crank flange. Sent one out to be cryo-treated. New Hall effect crank trigger just came in and hopefully converter will be back by the time I get this all put back together. Every thing looked good inside. I decided to try conventional rings instead of the total seals. So the block is at Spanel's getting a quick hone.

[Lepa]

Nice

[Hillbilly]

Hurry the **** up. I wanna see 475 at the wheels (mustang dyno horsepower of course) or dye trying. My uncle had one of those but it was a hemi 383 and it was a 4 door.

[Kelvin]

i dye eggs cause im cool like that

[STOK5OH]

^ganKstR

[Hillbilly]

Hey if you flipped the ring gear and turned the seat around it would drive from the right end and would look about the same.

[4sfed]

That would be main street trash

[Hillbilly]

how bout this?

[86Shelby]

Bonzai blue. Gorgeous.:drool:

[supercrackerbox]

Glad that the car in the pic didn't have the R/T badges.

Wonder if a New Hemi would fit . . . ?

[turbodaytona87]

Maybe the 5.7 dunno about the 6.1. I mean if you can fit a 318 in there you can fit a 360 and the new hemi should be right around that size

[AeroSS_87]

If I wanted to drag race I have a tubbed cutlass at home in my shop.



More info on said cutlass please. And remember, pics or ban.

[4sfed]

I have no pictures, I could take some. It's an 84 that I tubbed a few years back before I bought my sprint car. It has a Chris Alston's 4 link with a 12 bolt. Double adjustable AFCO shocks.

I also have a 85 cutlass that I drag raced for a couple of years that is in street trim that ran consistant 10.90's with a BB Olds. That car may be coming out soon with a different power plant.

The tubbed car is for sale.

[Hillbilly]

How much for the tubbed gutlass? Does it have a hole in the floor?

[4sfed]

The hole in the floor was in Pats Regal--Hillbilly.

[Hillbilly]

You and pat been butt ****in that long. Why don't u just get married?

[turbodaytona87]

Not legal is this state :lol:

Common Law

[RabidB4C]

it's past common law...

[4sfed]

UPDATE: Got the new rods. Got the block back finally. The quick hone and new rings turned out to be a 3 week deal. Ring took forever to get here and I ended up telling Spanel there was no rush because he was really busy trying to get all the circle burner stuff done for guys sence racing season is very near. I re-did the external oil drains so they will not leak anymore. I got a hall effect crank trigger instead of the VR type I had before so hopefully that will cure my sensor issues at higher rpm. My good converter is hopefully on its way back. I got another LS1:ls1kingxk8: air pump that I can use for evac. I decided to not cryo my new flexplate. If this one breaks I will get an SFI one for a 2.4.

Hope to get motor built and in this weekend.

Never happen in a million years. I will have my **** done first and you will still be smokin cigs at the south door of the shop.

[86Shelby]

You sure the 2.4 flexplate will bolt up to the crank? The diameter and tooth count should be close enough to work though....

[Hillbilly]

doesn't matter can't brake on the bench.

[4sfed]

Cindy said thats what people are doing. When I called for my current flexplate the parts store showed the same part # for my car as they did for a neon.??????

On weekends I will smoke where ever I want. Go crawl a rock somewhere.

[Hillbilly]

I thought you were busy. Smokin cuts into your car money dumbass. Now beer causes enlightenment and quites the voices in my head.

[Lepa]

Old people make me laugh. Congrats on gettin everything rounded up chad.

[supercrackerbox]

Curious for more info on the air pump setup . . .

[4sfed]

Curious for more info on the air pump setup . . .

Sence I now had DIS I made an adapter with a -8an fitting and put it where the distributor was. I had TMCO make a nice stainless tank with -8an fittings. I use the LS1 air pump and suck through the tank to the fitting on the motor.

The setup I had before was the same minus the tank. I was pulling right into the pump and it sucked oil into the pump and fried it. Wischman was nice enough to give me his old pump so I thought I would try it again.

[turbodaytona87]

Wow I can wait to see this completely finished!

[onedayjake]

This car will never be completely finished, fact of life.

[4sfed]

This car will never be completely finished, fact of life.

Very true.

[Hillbilly]

You can finish a car you are building up? Who knew, must be like big foot, people claim they are out there but never proven.

[4sfed]

Just talked to my converter guy and he is shipping the converter Tue. so I guess I will get the engine together but not in this weekend. That will free up some time to assemble the modified engine for my buddy.

[86Shelby]

I didn't know for certain that the bolt pattern was the same. Sounds good that they are! :Thumb:

[Kelvin]

10s or bust

I think I need to find me a LS1 air pump. Do you run it all the time or just under boost? I might stop in today and see what you guys have for meth systems.

Before I ran it all the time. Now I will see what works better. I can use the Haltech to turnit on so we will see.

I would be more than happy to talk meth injection with you.

[supercrackerbox]

10s or bust

If he can get the car to hook, I don't see that being a problem.

[MadmaX]

do you still have neon cams in it?

[Kelvin]

all this meth talk has me biting my tongue and scratching my face I might stop in too.

[4sfed]

Yes, I have 2.0 cams in it. Once I get every thing else straightened out I will change cams and probably go to solid lifters.

[MadmaX]

I was under the impression they(the stock cams) where pretty awful.

[4sfed]

The 2.0 cams are better than the 2.4 cams. Not many people are changing cams.

[4sfed]

Converter finally showed up today so hopefully I can get this thing going this weekend.???? I still need to figure out my valvebody/tcc so that it will work right now that I have made it a MVB.

[Kelvin]

wheres the pics!

[Hillbilly]

Get that **** bolted together and quite messing around with that dirt track ****.

[4sfed]

Get that **** bolted together and quite messing around with that dirt track ****.

****, I still have the Modified 355 I need to put together. The Hobby **** is all done thankfully. I may end up doing the mod motor this weekend we will see.

[4sfed]

wheres the pics!

Maybe when it's all done I will get some more pics.
I'll get a video of a 1/4 mile run on the dyno for ya!:)

[Hillbilly]

I could come up and help on sat, of course I have a factory stock the heads need to come off of, and a tranny that needs finished, and the oliver still doesn't have a head. ****.

[4sfed]

You have not givin Oliver head yet.

[Hillbilly]

Nope and my dad is pissed.

[turbodaytona87]

You have not given Oliver head yet.

Nope and my dad is pissed.

Most dads are glad this never happens to their sons:rofl:

[Hillbilly]

You don't even know oliver he is bitchin.

[4sfed]

So it runs. The hall effect crank trigger works WAY better than the VR trigger. I'm not too sure about the :ls1kingxk8: AIR/Vacuum pump it gets hot and blows the fuse. It is not made to run all the time so I may have the Haltech only turn it on under boost? I need to figure out my TCC and then I can dyno/tune it. Busy time right now so this may not happen for a couple of weeks.

[swaggy853]

keep me updated on the LS1 pump, even tho they are cheap I'd like to know how effective it is before I throw money at one.

[Lepa]

That **** needs to hit up mam on the 4th chad lol.

[Hillbilly]

No, he can't go, he is going to a wedding. I feel sorry for him.

[4sfed]

keep me updated on the LS1 pump, even tho they are cheap I'd like to know how effective it is before I throw money at one.

LS1 pump=Fail.. It worked for a bit but it gets to hot and now all it will do is blow fuses. I need to find an actual vacuum pump.

[swaggy853]

dammit, that was a cheap solution too.

[DSMMIKE]

excuse my noobness but whats the benefit of a vaccume pump.

Oh and meth ftw im prolly gonna need my jug filled in a few months

[4sfed]

A vacuum pump will pull a vacuum on the crank case and will help seal the rings as they will not have pressure on the back side of them. A turbo application really benefits. Keeps oil cleaner longer w/less blow by.

We have methanol. The price just went through the roof. 50$ a barrell more. They say it will come back down in april so we will see. If ot comes down we will not have to raise the price per gallon otherwise it will be more.

[DSMMIKE]

**** it better come down lol. i still have a fair amout left over from last season and well its gonna be a wile now untill i will be racing the dsm anyway (****ing rings) that vaccume pump thing sounds like a good idea though i may have to look into it. BTW how much did spanel charge to hone your block cuz im gonna be doing a bottom end rebuild here in the next month or so. Im also gonna need to have part of the rod the wrist pins go into bored out from like 20mm to 21mm and apparently carquest wants like 200 bones cuz they have to send it out wtf

[DarkSlide]

I have honestly never heard of the pump thing.

[DSMMIKE]

ive heard of it but more along the lines of with cars with really big cams that make very little vaccum so that their accesories ran on vaccum (brakes) work

[supercrackerbox]

I have honestly never heard of the pump thing.

You're a noob.

ive heard of it but more along the lines of with cars with really big cams that make very little vaccum so that their accesories ran on vaccum (brakes) work

Totally different concept. Same means, but to a different end.

Honing a 4 cylinder is like $45. I am not sure what he would charge for resizing the small end of the rods. IMO if you are tearing the whole motor down you should BORE the block and get new pistons. That way the piston to wall clearance is all good.

I rofl'd when i saw mikes post, adam. 79 LRE's came with vac canisters, 78's have an issue with idling and hitting the brakes...

[DarkSlide]

I've only heard of it in terms of how Mike did, for big cams and the like. I've never really heard about it on a turbo nissan motor.

[Lepa]

cause TD > nissan, duh.

[DarkSlide]

It's true :(

[swaggy853]

BORE the block and get new pistons

what does a minimal bore/hone run?

[4sfed]

I THINK boring is around $80 for a 4 cylinder. I am not for sure. Chucks # is421-8410

I cant afford to bore and get new pistons :cry:

[swaggy853]

I have to....

http://tspiehs.net/civic/sleeves.jpg

[DSMMIKE]

NICE is that the block you bought with forged internals?

[swaggy853]

yeah, I knew there would be something wrong with it, but it was cheap enough that I could just throw the block away and sleeve another one tho otherwise I wouldnt have bought it.

[DSMMIKE]

oh so your planning on putting the internals in another block that doesnt need boring then?

[swaggy853]

no, bore/pistons and im good to go. I'm just saying the price was right, I dont mind throwing another $500 at it.

[DSMMIKE]

uhhh you gotta get over sized pistons when you bore out and engine......

[86Shelby]

uhhh you gotta get over sized pistons when you bore out and engine......

How does one engine?

[4sfed]

Gay. Leave it as is and run it that way.

[86Shelby]

I have a commonblock in my garage, I can't remember if it's good or not... I'll take a look to see if it's any good.

[4sfed]

Thanks Ray but I have like 3 at home. Just waiting for Cindy to send me a torque plate.

[86Shelby]

Ok. I looked and there's issues with it. I found out why it is in the scrap iron stack. :lol:

[4sfed]

Ok. So I just got my block back from the machine shop. I block filled it to about 1/2 down from the deck. Hope to have it back together in a couple of weeks. I still need to redesign the thermostat for better cross flow through the head now that the block is filled. Fun

[swaggy853]

can you wait til next weekend to get your mbc back?

[86Shelby]

Ok. So I just got my block back from the machine shop....

:woot: :woot: :woot:

Fun

Damn skippy! :woot:

[4sfed]

can you wait til next weekend to get your mbc back?


Yea

[4sfed]

IT LIVES!!!!!!! Idled for about 1/2 hour and got to 191 coolant temp. Hopefully that is a good sign it will not overheat with the block fill.

[swaggy853]

im a little excited about this one...

[turbodaytona87]

did you get him his MBC back?

[DSMMIKE]

ahh ****!!

[Hillbilly]

sounds slow

[swaggy853]

did you get him his MBC back?

yeah

[supercrackerbox]

So you'll be taking it to the car show at Russwood on September 13th?

[4sfed]

IT LIVES!!!!!!! Idled for about 1/2 hour and got to 191 coolant temp. Hopefully that is a good sign it will not overheat with the block fill.


Its' dead........****:headchop:

[Kelvin]

what happened? i wanted to see this thing!

[4sfed]

It will be back out in a couple of weeks. I had filled the block and did not think about my oil temps and it burned the bearings.

[Kelvin]

that sucks. so its time for an external oil cooler? or whats your fix?

[4sfed]

Yea, I will put a cooler on it and a new block that is not filled. I think the filled block would work if I did not live 20 some miles from work.

[Lepa]

So if u won't be filling it, going to run less boost or what? speaking of blocks i'll be calling u a bit later here when im completely awake.

[Hillbilly]

Yea, I will put a cooler on it and a new block that is not filled. I think the filled block would work if I did not live 20 some miles from work.

I think if you would have listened to me and put a ****ing cooler on it from the get go we wouldn't be talking about this.

[Lepa]

Come on John, the only people that listen to you are c327 and aeross.

[swaggy853]

I listen, then laugh, does that count?

[4sfed]

It runs again..........Bets on how long??

[c0z]

should come to kcir the 10th and find out

[Lepa]

$10 on lasting longer than it did last time?

[4sfed]

Seems to be running pretty well, at low boost anyway. I need to get my lock up converter working then I will do some high boost pulls and see what happens.

[swaggy853]

i wanna ride. do you text? if you do, text me.

[supercrackerbox]

**** you, I have first dibs, considering I used to own a CSXT.

[Hillbilly]

At least blow the mother ****er totally up like pat did so you don't try again.

[turbodaytona87]

I saw it outside the shop finally :D

[4sfed]

Well my car did something today it has not done for a long time... It survived the dyno. Granted it was only 9.5 psi but it feels good to drive it off the rollers!!

[swaggy853]

*high five*

[Lepa]

[86Shelby]

Nate, you should just be quiet now. That's disgusting.

[turbodaytona87]

lepa started it, were you the one requesting my banning?

[supercrackerbox]

:rofl:

[turbodaytona87]

[Lepa]

lol.

[86Shelby]

I don't beleive in banning aside from spambots.

[supercrackerbox]

I believe in screwing with people for the sake of screwing with people.

[turbodaytona87]

so it was you, bastart!:D

[4sfed]

Installing my POS converter. I really hope it works this time....

[swaggy853]

dodge = fail

[srt-4_uk]

you dont need it.

[ali]

JB Weld :Thumb:

[Burntz]

Shaft fail

[4sfed]

Took car to MAM or the first time. Using the stock converter. Would only boost to 7 psi out of the hole and then hit 30 100 feet out or so. Time sucked 8.34 but MPH was good at 97. Second run it hooked a little better and broke input shaft on the 1-2 shift. I need to figure something out with that. Getting one made from 300M but that could be a while. Need to get converter figured out as well. God damn turbo Dodge.............

[csx353]

i also have a csx-t....

[Burntz]

i also have a csx-t....

good story

[supercrackerbox]

I miss mine :(

[srt-4_uk]

i also have a csx-t....

I doubt it is anywhere near as clean as this one.

[Hillbilly]

i also have a csx-t....

I doubt it is anywhere near as clean as this one.

AH What?

[csx353]

i doubt it is as clean either

[4sfed]

Mine is in NO way "clean"

[86Shelby]

Mine is in NO way "clean"

Clean means it's free of dirt and debris. The car is usually clean on the outside.

Jeff's car might be covered with mud after some runs in a field for all we know. :lol:

/smartass

[4sfed]

Its clean on the outside cuz the ****ing paint keeps coming off.:lol:

[86Shelby]

Well..you have a point

I was going to commend you for your eco friendly rain water-only washing program.

[4sfed]

The last time I washed it was back in 05 when I took it to Kearney when it still had the 8v and 5 speed.
Hartmann cleaned my dash the other day and I think polished the rear spoiler.

[srt-4_uk]

i also have a csx-t....

AH What?

/yellow

[4sfed]

Finally got my 300M input shaft back. Need to find some where to get it splined. Looks great tho.
Winter plans are to freshen motor(make sure all is good) proly replace pistons with 4 valve relief ones so I can step up the cam size and get the stock ones out. Double the pump in the tank and larger feed line. Gonna freshen the trans and go to E-85. (120's I have are questionable, may need 160's) Converter has been working great.
Really wanna convert to RWD but just dont have the time.

[onedayjake]

Sissy pants, you can make time to do it!

[4sfed]

So its the middle of February and I have not even touched the turd. ****.

[Stein]

So its the middle of February and I have not even touched the turd. ****.

So you haven't splined the shaft then? Might want to look at Mark Williams in CO. They just broached my Miata hubs to accept the Ford splines. Only $60 for the pair. There were three of us that did it at the same time so they split the $50 setup charge three ways for us.

http://www.markwilliams.com/

[4sfed]

Thanks, I will look into that. Right now the shaft is at Lincoln Machine. They want $400 to spline( cut) it.

[supercrackerbox]

So its the middle of February and I have not even touched the turd. ****.

Don't feel bad. I haven't touched the Charger since it got vandalized except to put the old tires back on it . . . two of which are now flat.

[4sfed]

Got the input shaft back. Looks awesome.

[DSMMIKE]

now get it in and get some numbers/times

[toom1h]

I'll give you an in put shaft.




...






???

[Lepa]

now get it in and get some numbers/times

He's already gotten times and numbers.

[onedayjake]

Yeah, 8.30 at 97 in the 1/8th before it broke last time, it sucked out of the hole but freight trained like mofo! Can't remember the dyno number though.

[DSMMIKE]

now get it in and get some numbers/times

He's already gotten times and numbers.

w/e new track times

[swaggy853]

bump

[4sfed]

Well..... Got it back together. Added 2nd fuel pump. Switched to E85. street tuned drive-ability quick and added a bunch of fuel to fuel map under boost just to get close since meth injection wont be used until I run out of injector.
Put in 10 psi WG spring. was getting 12psi. Ran great and pulled hard for only 12 psi. Shifted to 3rd under power and broke the tranny again.
Need to get apart and see if my custom input shaft broke or if it wiped out splines where shaft goes into front drum. If its the shaft I will be pissed.


Cliffs*** **** broke yet again :(

You have worse luck with transmissions than I do with rear axles I think lol

[4sfed]

Just really small parts in those ****ers. I might have to give up on the lock up converter and get the input drum with the 904 input shaft. Its like 3x as big.
Sucks balls.
