Well im expecting 600hp+ but 800 doesnt seem impossible. Iknow Ineed
to step up the inj. just been seeing what it can do..
Ive done alot of reading up on FWD tranny failures, getrags in particular
and I thing the 2 factors in them failing ( the diff coming out) is the shim
is work out, and the diff has some play to get off center line and the
other is the stock (long ass) axle. with lots of tourqe the 2 tripod cups and
bind and lock up. So the whole thing wants to rotate in an out of round
circle, causing the diff to come out of the case.
Im hoping the jackshaft will help stablize the diff and keep in the center
line with the gears. I also looked into DSM and about 600hp or so the
case spreads and cracks (the gear clusters pushing each other apart
enough to break the case) with that in mind I made the brace, also there
is another 3/8 plate that goes over the end, for the 2 bearing clusters.
If you havent noticed Im a mechanical eng. that over builds every thing
and try to anticipate failer points. And sometimes go over board... ha ha
So far I can roll on boost in 3rd gear and break the tires lose, and no
failures to report as of yet, so Im not sure how much further I can really
expect it to go.
Im running a spec stage 3+. they say it can hold 560ft/lb and seems be a
very streetable! and holding, I think. It hard to tell my tires dont squeal
anymore
And my crank was balanced seperatly from the balancer, flywhel and
pressure plate, its a findanza by the way, and was 4g off. the balancer
was 6g and the pressure plate was dead on! :blah5: ha ha
looking great so far man. keep it coming!
