Forgot to mention I'm running 2.7+ati

 

i guess the TJolly FMHE is doing its job very well.

 

Crazy the MPH you hit...

I have the same gearing as you just with the 4.17 final.
I'm seeing about 120-122 @ 8800 (would need to bust out my calc to be exact)

If you don't care about MPG
Go find a VUE 4.41 transaxle and nab the final out of it.

Completely transforms the car

 

I'm on a 4.17 lsd. 24.7" tire. That's 4th gear in the graph. 3rd gear isn't in frame

I currently only hit 98-99 in 3rd with a 7750 limiter

 

I will agree with that statement, but don't forget the extra sauce lol

 

care to elaborate on that .. you can PM me if its top secret lol

 

I'll be more public about it when I have more data to back it up. It's obviously working, but I want to do some more testing. Plus its much further than the majority of people are willing to go lol

 

gotta get my killer chiller and a cts v fluidyne front mount just lazy to try um out

 

Don't be lazy. get off your ass

 

well i did get off my ass and grab my gen 3 block lol ( my second one ) $500 for a complete motor cant complain
stripped it down to a short block
finishing it up this week and send it off to hone and wash

 

i will hit 500 wheel regardless if i loss the motor again mark my words

 

Running that gen 3, do you need to get it sleeved? Also would I still need a spacer if I swapped to a f23 trans?

 

Nope

Just use the LSJ/F35 shim

 

What you doing about the EVAC system?

Dual -10AN fittings on the back of my cover are proving not to be enough.

Adding two -12AN to the front of the VC now

 

REALLY? and no issues with my -10 then again i only ran it for 1k
you starting to push oil ?
worst case is ill do an exhaust e vac setup

 

nah ill sleeve it if i have issues this time around
nope use the f35
and you can even use the f35 tob or the f23 ive had both work fine

 

I have over 5k on this setup already

Strange things start developing post 8000 rpm

strange oil leaks from places not leaking previously

Trevor's going to be welding -12AN and (2) -12AN check valves from Racetronix to the exhaust tip @ a 45* angle.

Valve cover is developing some unwanted moisture as well, even though the oil in the pan is clean.

 

I saw that on insta you had a new motor. What happened to the last one?

 

Ok, trying to get info together for my build. Planning to use a le5 for a block, I can use a lsj crank to make a 2.1 liter right? Was gonna run a 10:1 compression ratio

 

yeah tell me about the oil leaks. my car just started pissing out of the orings for the cooler now after I fixed 3 or 4 other leaks this weekend. only spinning to 8192 rpm, but she is not happy.
on my old motor though, I just ran the valve cover with 2 vents spinning to 9500rpm and didn't have any issues.
can't win em all I guess

 

cracked head bolt hole

 

thats what i got on a gen 3

 

shes happy minus the oil leak
scares the **** out of me thats for sure

 

You've been running that 2.3 for quite some time now. Do you do any sort of proactive maintenance? Replace bearings at certain intervals or anything?

How high are you revving?

 

he only has about 1000 miles on the 2.3 pulley. and it was recently rebuilt by zzp prior to doing the build. we'll see about longevity once the new motor is up and running.
and as of now just spinning to 8200 rpm, but once the new motor is broken in, maybe push it to 9000rpm
