Wiring in SAFC?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Either a SAFC1 or maybe a jammin system? Going for show car this year. :D

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

wow talk about bling but looks better then your older design. Hope that thing lines up right.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Yay, tial is here!

So anyone needing TIAL feel free to contact us, as we are direct with TIAL Sport.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Yes.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Take a picture of the engine bay without a tarp over it.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

He's putting in a PMS.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Do you wanna see a pic of Swanny himself without clothes on as well?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

There will be a custom/modified endtank made once I know where the TB is going to be. Should be working on it tonight, pics coming.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

No thanks, not interested. But some engine bay/gutted interior/fuel setup/exterior shots would be nice.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Nothing really to take, the car is all apart now, and I will be posting pictures up when it is back together.

Finish up that throttle body flange and its good to go (minus a bit of astetic work).

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I will take one!! GB on this? Hit up the brownman and lets push it

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Is there a target date you have in mind?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Both cars are shooing for opening sport compact day at rockfalls.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Hot damn that looks great. Now that intercooler needs to either be powder coated black or polished up to match the intake mani. Like said looking great.

Hey John do you still need that alarm? If not I'll take it from ya. hahaha Damn 1g DSM door locks....

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Anymore pics Josh?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

No time for pics.

Maybe we will update this weekend.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Well I promised some updates...here are some teaser pics.

http://www.lseperformance.com/galler...serialNumber=2
Had to reinforce the bellhousing and transmission in general.

http://www.lseperformance.com/galler...serialNumber=1
Front tire with a 3" intercooler upper pipe... guess I can't complain about traction anymore.
http://www.lseperformance.com/galler...serialNumber=2
So they stick out a little bit it still looks damm cool.
http://www.lseperformance.com/galler...serialNumber=1 x4

Have a good one.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

All I was thinking of while looking at those pics was, damn, there is going to be some serious drivetrain carnage this year. The good thing about that is, that means your going faster down the 1/4 mile(or whereever you may be;) ).

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars

Widebody kit.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Them some big tires. I 2nd the widebody kit. But how would it look on a 3/s? I mean I've seen a 2g with a widebody kit on it. Looked pretty sweet.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Widebody kit adds weight and rice appeal. Keep it as it is.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Wow, is the front side of the tranny still flat after all that welding? Lookin' good! I am curious to see how long the Mickey Thompson's last for ya, I was looking at those.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

if not widebody, get some overfenders like this:

Or just leave it. :)

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

There are some fenders out there, I might widebody it this winter if I want to dump that $$ into it, or if I actually care. The agressive stance is nice.

The trans is 100% perfectly flat.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

*Zero 3S knowledge.*
What kind of behavior do the 3S housings like to exhibit when they fail? Do you know of anyone that has a CAD model of them?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Wow! Jakey didn't ask for a close up of the welds! ;)

-A. Swift

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Crap, the world is coming to an end!!

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

When I welded it I tried to only do about 1-2" welds at a few different spots and checked with a heat gun and it stayed around 2xx deg the hole time.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

No one has modeled one, I don't have time to do it as of yet.

Pretty much since they are a helical cut gear, the input shaft tends to push out the bellhousing in an attempt to eat the clutch. It happens on the 6speed models somewhat often on high hp cars w/hook.
The 5speed models it is yet to occur, but I am tired of being the "first" to break shit...not the goal this season.

The theory is that the plate strengthens the "inside floor" of the bellhousing. This keeps the drive gears from seperating, and does not give them the opportunity to start to fatigue the bellhousing.

The method works great for some of the high hp 6speed guys that USE to break cases.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

It's not something I'd be interesting in buying so it's irrelevant to me.

If I were you, I'd get a 100% stock housing and send it off to Advanced Design Concepts to get a CAD model made. It is nearly impossible to 100% reverse engineer a piece like this without some sort of laser scan or touch probe because of all the fine details. By having a CAD model, you could have someone run an FEA simulation on the piece to determine where the stress concentrations are and then be able to specifically target your reinforcements.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

True this is much easier.

However we did manage to reverse engineer a transfer case with a similar vague description of what happens with 100% success.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Or you could just weld reinforcements and call it good. Some of y'all over complicate this stuff.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Engineering problems for solutions is so much fun though.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I think you have that backward. ;)

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

That's what you think my friend

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Will the transmission be built for the upcoming season, or stock?
