Wyoming B.S. Thread

Sucks Gage. Gotta be so draining emotionally.

 

So i think i found a place to do a dyno run... and possibly tune a turbo on our racecar...

 

So you are fighting it?

Nice where at?

 

A place called Harchelroad motors... Largest Corvette dealer in the midwest. They also are a customer of mine. They sell corvettes, pickups and lots of farm equipment.

We are having to do a motor swap cause we threw two rods through the block when racing and actually pulled out the broken chunks in the bottom of the oil pan, shoved the two pistons to the top, unplugged the injectors, patched the hole in the block with jb weld and a license plate, hose clamped chunks of floor mat on the crank to plug the oil ports to keep up oil pressure and finished the race on 4 of our 6 cylineders.

There is a little write up about us in car and driver http://blog.caranddriver.com/24-hours-of-lemons-colorado-audis-take-first-place-last-place/

 

Ha! Nice man! Looks fun

 

also going from a 2.5L v6 toyota engine front wheel drive to a 3.0L v6 ford engine rear wheel drive.

We got the engine and trans now just looking for a rear end from anything with LSD...

 

Look for a supra turbo rear end maybe. It's IRS.

 

Oh i have. Running about 1K.

 

For an 87-92 one? No way man

 

must be talking this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-92-Toyot...Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d0b7240b8&vxp=mtr

 

Yep. It's a LSD if it's from a turbo model

 

hmm... cheaper is better... also will most likely be doing a ebay turbo set up on our ford 3.0

 

Cheaper also means more likely to break...turbo wise haha

The diff is strong. Will hold 600hp

Not sure how you'll fit it all with the cvs and stuff. But I'm sure you'll figure it out

 

Working up in the Big Horns today

 

Enjoy!

 

We are going from a transverse engine to a rear wheel drive... lots of fab and modification to be done

 

I'll say...why not just get a new car??

 

Cause we already have the cage and seat made and mounted and wheels and tires for this car.

 

Seems like moving the seat and wheels/tires to a new car and making a new cage would be easier then changing a whole drive line and rear suspension and rear sub frame..
