TALBO Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 and with those power figures don't tell me you haven't thought about the gearbox and drivetrain? and probably some chassis bars and lots of welding.....

MissR34 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 yes i have thought about the gearbox and drive train. ill be going with a extreme triple plate clutch + flywheel to match. due to the boost being progressive and not aggressive like a turbo, it dosent put as much stress on it, and there fore will actually be able to handle the power, aslong as i am not being stupid and driving it crazly hard, like you would on the track for example.

nos man Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 with a good clutch you're more likely to smash the box i think! but are you going for a lightweight flywheel? i'm not sure about supchargers but going lightweight on a turbo is ok because it's got the top end to pull it through the rev range, but a lightweight flywheel on a n/a is not a good idea. i have experienced it and it looses speed going up hills Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/188416-the-sa-wasteland/page/1228/#findComment-4545310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll want an upgraded gearset/gearbox probably, as well as a diff and possibly tougher tailshaft ;P -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/188416-the-sa-wasteland/page/1228/#findComment-4545330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
