Any suggestions for this build?
I am planning to ship the car to EFIexpress in September since I should be home to supervise the transport then.
Again, the basic plan is 750-800 awhp and 10.5-11k RPM. There will be no b.s. and there will be no falling short here. The goals will be met!! The basic architecture for the setup is all there at this point. 4" exhaust, Hank, or should I say, "Iroz Motorsport" manifolds, and large turbo. I would like to keep the HX52 or Pro52, but wouldn't mind having a modular setup where I can try something that might lend to a little better response. Anyway, that is neither here nor there and simple enough to change later on with a little welding and tuning.
The current plan is dry sump and solid lifter to attain the RPM goals I have set. The engine's power-handling capabilities, I'm not really worried about. Marc will take care of that just fine given the cumulative knowledge his connections (and personal experiences) have. What I am worried about is the trans. The quasi-plan is a built euro-tdi 01e (with trans cooler). I think that sounds OK, but who really knows? Maybe Gerner and Jones are some of the few that might know around these parts. Aaron seems to be doing well with his PAR setup. I want something that can hold the power and be driveable, but be able to take a launch if I want/need it to. Any better ideas are welcome! I could go 2wd and find something easily that would hold the power (don't really have to deal with snow in FL!), but that is lame. I want traction on the street!
I am also interested in miscellaneous items that are not necessarily required to hold the power, but are a nice addition for added reliability or performance. Throw me some ideas. A well-integrated cage would be one example.
Anyway, I just felt it was about time that I posted something here. I feel so left out with no project to update! Hopefully that will change in the relatively near future
