new project car

[bnaellis]

I have my new project car now so white one as you know is up for sale. This is a long term project to be ready for rotorstock next year. If done sooner  then even better, but need to throw a lot of money on this to make it what I want. I expect over 600 bhp, will need some help probably from the likes of Glen Butcher & Bill shurvington with regards to water injection or methanol etc setup and I will be boosting around 25 psi providing I don\'t blow it up while tuning. Next year will definitely see change in serious rotary power in the UK.

Hi Brian!  great news!

What engine/gearbox/diff you going with?

.ps Why not go all out for 800hp or so from a 13B?    it is possible!

[bnaellis]

H Glen,

800horses it owuld be fun but don\'t think I could get that kind of power and still keep the thing road legal.lol
engine is a 13b not quite sure whether I will run a larget street port or a half bridge. I am making enquiries regarding the box at present I suspect it will be a custom jb though rather than say the hks box. I am talking to a few people to try and find out what they use for big power application iwth regards to a diff. I know the ford 9 inch is quite bullet proof but I want it to be a car fun for the road at weekends also not just a drag car. I will keep this thread continually update as I go along with upgrades etc just need the car to arrive now so work can commence.

I believe the HKS box is just a re-badged Quaife? - check this first.  I also believe that the ratios in the Quaife box won\'t be suited for drag racing, as it has a long 1st gear etc.

Looks like it will have to be the sequential drag holinger!  got a spare £8000??

or get a transmission adapter and use a toyota supra box of some sort ?

[Glenn Butcher]

I had a think about this during the day - why don\'t you run a tricked up Auto Brian?  I know you like Auto\'s!

[bnaellis]

Oh noooo,

Imagine all that strain onthe transmission with over horses
sitting at the staging lights torque braking. lol
I am actually trying to lose my reputation for breaking my transmission believe it or not.:rollin

Actually Iwas tring to find an old threadon the U.S forum.
I remember a while back someone was making an adapter plate to fit I think it was a corvette gearbox to an fd.

If you want to go custom - might be worth a chat with these guys.

I\'ve used them for installation of lsds in the past but they know their stuff:

We have at our site most machining facilities, including Milling, Turning, Grinding, Welding, Spark-erosion, Heat-treatment, Jig-boring, etc. In addition, we can offer "one-off" gear manufacture, Shot-peening/Polishing and Cryogenic stress relief.

That GURU box looks fantastic for drag racing, change times down to 35ms, that has to be a winner.

Not sure if that will be strong enough.
Carl was talking about that car having over 600 bhp when he\'s finished with it so question is why is it being sold unless it can\'t handle 600 + bhb ?

Doesnt the \'vette use a T56 box?

Lots of big torque guys use T56s mod\'d, may be thats what yer thinking of Bri?

Another place to look would be G-force in the US.

Good luck with your project, sounds very interesting,
