im running a GMPP clutch now for 3 years and its seen E47 for two summers and then 93 for a solid year or so and it still holds for me so youll def be good with that clutch man! make sure you do a new OEM flywheel, you can even use the LSJ flywheel and then get a TOB and the alignment tool as well while your at it.

 

Who is doing that? I would be very interested in seeing that progress!

 

Plus the car will have allot less mass and theoretically allot less stress on the clutch when slipping. Should be a prefect match on that car!

 

Just thought I would let you guys know that the LSJ flywheel is cheap from Canada this is the price from gmpartsdepot.ca 12584343 $165.42

 

death machine! haha

 

I don't see why you would need anything stronger than the gmpp clutch with a such a light car.

What are you using for engine management? And what trans are you using?

 

That's a killer build, I read your whole thread over on the smart forum. Great work on the whole thing so far, I'll be interested to see how close to the 10's you get. And if you'll need a wheelie bar

 

Yup I did end up going with the GMPP clutch for the F35 LSD as for engine management its a standalone system by CustomBuiltMotors.




High 10'S would be but hoping for mid 11's in stock form, just have to keep an eye on the weight still lots of parts to add. As for wheelie bars I have a design in my head but will not be built until after a test drive in the spring if I ever get finished..

 

I should've been more specific. Which gear ratio variant of the f35? That thing would haul with the cobalt 3.82 FD. Love the build!

 

Going to try the 3.82 that's in it as the tire size is 2" smaller in dia. than the Cobalt. I also have a good set of 4.05 gears.

 

Well be careful lol, don't wanna pull a wheelie like the video you posted
3.82 should be nice for your setup, I can't imagine wanting shorter gears from something that's bound to be ~1000lbs lighter than the car that motor came out of.

 

a note for the OP... personal experience with extremely short wb high hp cars says they swap ends faster than you can say "uh-oh"...... have fun!

 

Good thing its not high HP , most short wheelbase swappers are front engined. I like a challenge anyways and hate driving a car that 20 other people are racing, just off the top of my head Mustangs / 69 Camaro's . I think it should be fun and keep me on my toes.

 

Switched over to a Powell V3 separator, thanks to John for all his help.

 

Very nice. Do I see an air to water cooler?

 

Yup a Precision P500

 

woww dont think ive seen this yet! looks awesome dude, really nice work on the fabrication! you even got the gmpp pedals haha! whats are your actual power goals and how do you plan on obtaining?

 

Power goals is just 300 to the wheels until I get use to the car then I'll probably get a ZFR and go from there.

 

omg : killer man, killer. i just love any car with an awesome power/weight ratio.

 

Haha damn a zfr would be sick

 

Im really excited by this post. In for results at the track and results at the track after a ZFR switch on E47 with larger HPFP lobe and ZZP cams, opel Injectors.

 

The nice thing about a swap like this is if he does run out fuel, auxiliary injector could be used more precisely than we can with our Stock Bosch ecm. That's the beauty of running a stand alone engine management system. Hell, he could probably even set it up to engage auxiliary injectors when rail pressure drops to a predetermined value.

 

Well unfortunately it still uses the Bosh E69 but it does make it easier for tuners as all the values and what not will (should) be the same.

 

Ha - too cool!!! In for videos.

 

Update ran a 10.91 @127mph
