Paul is correct; I look forward to his F23 conversion results, there is a possibility that the three shaft Getrag design may have some benefits. I would not give up the Quaife LSD though so I am going to stay with what I have. Lasting for 2 years like you said under INFE's hard core driving style is pretty decent for an F35 anyway . I have yet to break an F35 but I dont drag race the car ( I have, but only two weekends) I find drag racing a manual fwd car is sort of a sad experience....but some folks are really good at it, like ZZP and Cmiller and Exsoccer ( I have no idea why exsoccer's car is still running the way he launches, its amazing)

 

I gave up drag racing the Balt and plan on buying a Solstice Turbo Automatic after I unload my 87 Firebird GTA for the drags. That way I can still concentrate on the LNF platform. I might be tempted to buy a base 2.4 Solstice and turbo a built 2.1 girdled engine.

 

yea sorry the f23 thing is taking alittle while because i decided to start building up the bottom end a bit. As soon as i get the block back from the machine shop i will get rolling on that again.

 

if nobody will buy this upgrade they won't buy anything else.

We need a little less talk and a lot more action for once.

I finally found a stand alone controller for the 4t45/65e with pre-made harnesses thanks to Matt. No more re pinning the ecm

Ordering it this week I believe

 

If you guys can get 9 ppl before I find something else, I'll be #10

 

this isn't happening bub lol thread needs to go

 

Ya i know.. but one can still have hope right? :P

 

haha fire away

 

good stuff man, looking forward to see what that thing will do. And yeah the rewiring and repinning was a huge pain in the ass, never want to have to do something like that again (though I did just completely rewire my trans am lol).

 

hopefully infe gets his motor back soon so we can see what the f23 wil hold (him being him decided since we dropped the motor, might as well fully build it lol). I don't have my hopes set too high, but I think it should hold up ok. As for the lsd, I agree that it sucks to lose the quaife, but they do make one for the f23 but it's more the the trans lol.

 

so is dinner for 4 at Macdonalds....

 

Yeah i'll probably keep the car around 20psi until I can afford to swap to the 4t65 then the real fun begins. It'll still be a fun car

 

lol nothing like dumping 5k into the bottom end and then bolting a $250 trans to it haha

 

PCS - Powertrain Control Solutions - Transmission Control

 

EZ TCU - Electronic Automatic Transmission Controller - TCIŽ Auto

 

Oh the interesting world in which we live...

Well at least it'd make them cheap to replace.

 

Hell we can head out to harry's in PA on the trans special weekend and we can pick em up for $55 ea lol. Pick up a few cores from different models and see what the different final drive ratios do.
speaking of which I need to head out there soon and grab a th400 or 4l80e for the ta in the spring.

 

going to have to head out there with you. sounds better then that **** hole that i got my f23 from

 

I wanna go when you guys head to harry's its not that far from me

 

I"ll definitely let ya know

 

ill bring my little cordless impact. parts will just start flying lol

 

lol that little thing is beast

 

haha we have a few of those. they're like heaven

 

We literally used it to drop his motor out of the car, I think the only bolts we used my impact gun on were the subframe bolts and lug nuts

 

lol braaaaaaap braaaap braaaaap. motor mount. braaap braaap braaaappp. rack and pinion
