Me and my 650 bobcat have been putting in work clearing more trees and doing grade work around my future house. Don’t have any pictures of the driveway but had to cut that in too and spread 100 tons of stone. It’s about 500 ft long because nobody like neighbors.
Looks like we might finally get some better gear options for people who don’t want to build a dogbox. This is the same company started making spider gears for our center diffs a while ago. I hope they get enough interest to put this into production.
I am in no way disputing the reliability issues of a 2.4. But I also stand by my statement that there is something to be gained with that extra .4 displacement and that comes from real work experience as well. Wether or not that gain is worth it is another question in itself. My current setup is...
I would disagree with the “gains nothing” statement. In fact way back in the day when I first switched from a 2.0 to a 2.4 I gained 50lb/ft of torque on a simple 16g setup changing nothing else. After a few changes that setup eventually made 502lb/ft of torque on boostins mustang dyno. Since...
Tore into the car a little more tonight. I know you guys love carnage photos so enjoy. Still can’t fathom what could have cause my trigger plate to be damaged like that.
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a 1g pickup is in my future but the evo pickup looks promising also. Might not even need the kiggly mod for the evo pickup.
Idk can’t find anything that says either way and I don’t have any 1g stuff on hand to compare the 2. Was probably gonna get a evo and a 1g pickup to see what I can make work.
Not sure to be honest. I’ve read about the evo guys having issues with 2.4 cylinder walls cracking in the past but I’d bet there are a lot more evo’s that run a 2.4 than there are dsms so they would have a bigger sample size. So maybe that’s what he was worried?
I put mine on buschurs dyno the Thursday before the shootout. My car had only been remote tuned at 35psi up to that point. First pull was 740/650 with the tires spinning. I had been driving the car around like this doing street pulls for a couple years now but never any track days. Tuner ended...
Yes it’s an oem front case that I purchased through extremepsi and dropped if will all my other parts to be built and the only whining I heard was from the dogbox. As for the oil down in the pits yes and no. I did leave a small trail of oil back to my pit but nothing like what that Honda did...
Looks like they got a little warm so I’m thinking Kurt was right on with the oil starvation being the cause. Now I have to decide if I want to roll some new bearings in or pull the engine and send it off to Buschur to get sleeved so I don’t have to worry about the cylinder walls cracking that...
