Had to replace the fan - wire shorted and motor was smoking on a quick test drive. Found out old fan was only 2200cfm so I upgraded to FF Dynamics 16" 3660cfm fan. (https://ffdynamics.com/products/ols/products/ffd16-3600cfm)
Mounted right into the old holes. Got it wired up along with the...
I wrapped the last one and will probably wrap this one as well. But it did not burn the fan before i wrapped it the last time and it was closer to it than it is now.
The converter change took me into the 12's. I had cold air intake / 1 piece driveshaft / 3.73 gears / drag radials then added the converter and was running 12's. I added a Whipple 2.3L later and went 11.30's on about 8psi.
Picked the car up from fab tonight. As always Jason Zimmer's killed the fab work. Car is looking on point.
Got to finish up running the hoses for turbo reference / dome pressure / CO2 fill .
Wire up the trans cooler fan and move the power steering hose and top off fluids.
Excited to see what...
Honestly a converter is going to yield the best results for the least amount of work. When i did mine - i shaved a half second off my ET and it made it more enjoyable to daily drive. If you want to change gears go with a 4.10 or 3.73 . Neither is hateful on the highway with the OD in the...
Yes I have raced a bit at E20. Just a far drive and the traffic to there sucks I prefer to drive about 15 minutes less and head north to La Rue and Marion County Raceway as it is $15 for TnT on Friday's there and they do track rentals at $100 a car as well.
Putting an S480 83mm/117mm compressor and 96mm/88mm turbine turbo on the 3V.
Hoping to join that 8 second 3V club.
I think everything else is good to get me there for now.
The current best pass was a 9.85 @139mph on the 78/75 (83/75 turbine and 78/102 compressor) turbo @ 21psi.
I had the...
Nice to see another Dayton OH area member. If you want to really wake up your 5R55S - then you need a torque converter and 1 piece driveshaft. When i ran the 5R55S i had the trick flow deep pan , 3rd / 4th servo upgrade , Circle D converter , DSS 1 piece drive shaft on mine. The downside...
