Small update for tonight...





Cut the holes for the side exit exhausts...

I know they are not going to be everyones cup of tea, and in its current state the body doesnt help my case lol, but I think they came out looking pretty awesome.. The side with the tip only looks funny because the tip is dangling, so its angled itself right upwards... Need to suss the piping now, but for now that is it, needed to cut the holes pre-respray...

 

Why two?

 

the main reason is simply symmetry lol

secondly, im hoping that a 3" exhaust, split into 2 3" exhausts with mufflers will reduce the restrictive effect of the mufflers...

 

Cool tattoo

 

Thanks alot mate!

 

What is your thoughts in the strengths of the transfer case?

 

Bump for a dyi'er in the drivway!!

 

Not very high mate, but the torque through it is limited by the rear clutch pack... So i dont know.. i was considering treating the gears, or when i use the haldex, electonically limit the max torque

 

Ah thanks mate! Are you a fellow driveway slugger??

To be honest, when i redid the garage, intended on putting the car in there, but all the interior parts, engine and tranny parts filled it up quickly.. So im stuck in the puddles outside - damn crazy paving!

 

for the 10 pt. question, is it a porsche g50 gearbox?

 

Nah im sorry mate- but you were so close its almost correct..

The tattoo is actually a subaru 4wd box, which is as near as damn it a g50! Not that i particularly admire the subaru gearbox, but it was the best picture i could find.. In fact id love to say that it was a G50 but it slipped my mind until now lol

 

Good evening, just time for a little update before i eat ALL of the pancakes in the world!

Tonight it was time to remove the masking tape from the B20, installed the new sump (minus the seal- knackard), installed the cam drive pulley and accessory pulley.





Began work on the new placement for the dry sump pump, it fouls on the top mount manifold, so ive lowered it. I dont know if the pictures are deceiving but it isnt that low to the floor, the engine is at an extreme angle on the stand and the moroso sump is alot shallower than the new one..


(just to make sure i was making the new one parallel to the pulley)





Ive nearly finished it, had to add a little bit more steel at the bottom, and itll all need a good tidy up and cut to the correct shape, but its going well so far..


And if anyone knows where i can get a gilmer belt, 1" wide, and about 30" long can they let me know.. Im really struggling to find anything over 27"...

 

props on the build mate , cant wait to see it finished and see videos

 

I don't go on build threads, but was told to look at this, and wow. Great work thus far. Only thing I would do is look into a better crank pulley, one that is dampened. ATi preferably, or Fluidampr. The all metal, non-dampened versions are bad, and the Performance Products one is junk as well. Just want your engine setup to be problem free bud. Great work thus far

 

very good point i was going to mention it but figured id leave it alone . but if your interested in a dampened one check the drag racing forum classifieds i seen i believe a ATI for a very good price in there

 

Thats a good point chaps..

stupidly i realised after i bought the brand new moroso one haha..

unfortunately funds wont allow me to change it yet, so im going to have to live with it for a while..

 

How have I only JUST seen this?!? Are you a wizard? I am in love with this build. Officially my hero!

 

Nah sorry mate, im not a wizard lol Glad you approve!

the guys at peterson were very helpful when i was setting up a belt drive for a magneto

 

Thanks alot for that mate!! I found a place which did stock them, so at least i know that the exist.. had a horrible feeling i was going to have to rethink it! Ive made a note of those mate- thanks again!

 

Is there anything available thats compatible with the dry sump drive? Or is that going to be a custom affair?

 

I think you just get a bolt on mandrel, and you just get the correct dry sump drive for that mandrel..

 

Ah okay.

I noticed you're an aero guy... Interested to see what you do with the aero on this car.

 

Lol yes, i am into my aero.. For the moment i have the rear wing although i would love to change it for a more effective one, i have a spoon front lip but i think im going to do some subtle under body stuff

 

Okie dokie, tonights small update

I finished the dry sump mount bracket- its slightly heavier than the original moroso one but its bomb proof!
