fd3sls3 build: 416 stroker....56k take a nap

[fd3sls3]

The headers would have cleared with no issue with a standard bellhousing...unfortunately ..the quicktime maintains the diameter all the way around- which doesnt accomodate for long tubes (i cant speak for mid-length, as they had already been sold).  Ill upload a picture later of the clearancing with the quicktime- it will better explain where its tight.

As for the brake booster hose, i was able to "massage" the firewall to make a nice transition with the rubber hose- no sharp bends, though it does touch the firewall. (Remember- its solid mounted-movement is nill)

I opted to run the MAP in the front, i made a bracket to secure it to where the throttle cable normally bolts to, and ran silicone hose from it over to the nipple on the front drivers side of the fast 102.

I will try to post up a video as well later today.

Hopefully noone is still running a 56k.....   lol

Wow.  Amazing build... one of the better on the drivetrain.  :-)

Thanks!  I stuck with the FD diff as I had already installed the KAAZ 1.5 way, so I bought a set of 3.90's to help out.  I'm hoping it will hold up, I'm thinking between the Samburg diff mount and 300M axle bars, I "should" be good (not running slicks ever).  I intend on occasionally running the 1/4 (on street tires, as I only care what it can do from a daily standpoint).  The car was more intended for the occasional track-day/ weekend cruiser.  I have only put 1K miles on the setup before the dreaded snowfall in central NY, I do want to re-check my drive-line angles (notice the increasing drive-train noise around 155 mph+), I'm assuming that is the culprit, though I know the diff mount will send resonation through the body of the car- anybody who has experienced a similar situation, please chime in!

Great, great powertrain, very similar to what some of the race cars we help out are running.  With an investment like that I'd hope you're at least going to put an Accusump on it. 

Sounds amazing, and that 65-170 run was great, 4th moves the fuck out haha.

I'm also running a Kaaz diff that I actually pulled out of a 7yr old race car, they hold up to power great.  I'm interested to see what you find on the driveline vibrations, could be ring gear wear, but could also be the fact that the engine and trans are solid mounted and the diff is bushed front and back... I'd solid mount that sucker.

nice build!

What does it MPH in the 1/4?

[fd3sls3]

I still need to do an accusump....hopefully over the winter ...(i had all i could do to get some miles on it before snowfall).  It pulls pretty good...the diff is mounted with delrin on the rear points and poly (IIRC) on justins brace...ill have to make something for at least the front one ...i think the delein is solid enough (thoughts?).

I have no idea what it currently traps at.....all of the tracks where closed for the winter by time ot was out...lol.... ill have a # this spring for sure!

.......speechless.      
 
 
MAN, that thing must feel INSANE. How shocked were you first time you went WOT when compared to your old LS2 set up?
 
 

[fd3sls3]

Thanks!, Honestly-as stupid as it sounds, its hard to say.  The car was down for 1.5 yrs after the blown engine.  It definitely feels faster, but i wish I had a back-to-back drive!  1/4 trap speed will say alot.......spring cant come soon enough!!

Added a corner-weight photo. Note: #s represented are car (with 1/3 tank of fuel)+  myself (170#) +passenger (210#)... wanted to see how that affected bias...

Great build. Sorry to hear you put the LS in and it not even getting the mileage that the rotor did.

[fd3sls3]

I assume your talking about mileage per engine... not MPG.... yea, it sucks.... guess it comes with the territory. Hopefully the new engine will last...    pretty sure i fixed the oiling issue the prev engine had....   I enjoy working on it-for the most part (though my wallet doesnt)

[Demon]

VERY nice setup!!  That thing must be a blast to drive.

I'd guess you'll trap between 138-142, err on the higher side of that.

I see a 8.8 setup in your future!!

Lol I thought the same thing last time I posted. Be interesting how long his Mazda ass lasts.
