Questsi Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 so how much is this kit and everything else costing? =P~ 400 for the kit425 for the Fidanza 610 for the SPEC 3+ 800tq rated1000 for the tranny with shifter, clutch and pp. I sold my old act/fidanza for 420 and I figure I can get something for the old gm clutch. I still need the driveshaft which could be 250-500 depending on the rating. It's a big investment but it should be solid for 500hp. The good thing is that in the future I can have the tranny rebuilt for ????hp and everything else will be up to par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr0nus Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 So have you made anymore progress with this Ivan. Looks great so far man. Can't wait to see you guys again at MOD 06'! People are going to drop their jaws when they see your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Somebody better stock up on rear ends. 8) Somthing tells me we're about to find a new Weakspot. yeah and the best one to get an easy fit is the ford 9" you have to get it cut down but its worth it I think the 9" is way over kill. You'll loose 80whp just by adding that rear. Maybe an 8.8 or GM 12bolt. I haven't seen anyone grenade the stock rear yet. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 The good thing is that in the future I can have the tranny rebuilt for ????hp and everything else will be up to par. did you actually blow up the stock trans or was it on the way out?

Questsi Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I got the tranny in yesterday and it was lots of fun. Just make sure you have an extra set of hands and a 12 pack of Heinys. Have to order the driveshaft now. The tranny was still driveable, but 3rd gear was gone and I knew it was on its way out. I was actaully just going to swap in one of my spare 88's, but once I had the car in the air, I figured I'd have to remove the mistu tranny again someday. I figured I'd just go ahead and do the swap now. I think the stock rear will be fine for now. Someday, I would like to tub the rear...maybe then I'd change the rear.

Yeah mine is the same way, as is the one before it. 3rd gear seems to be really weak on the stock tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonboyb Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Will you be losing any ground clearance on the tranny bellhousing? Looks lower in the pics, but hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questsi Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Will you be losing any ground clearance on the tranny bellhousing? Looks lower in the pics, but hard to tell. I havent even checked but its probably minimal at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 will the spedo gear fit or is there an adaptor for that. What about the clutch slave? How's the pedal feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questsi Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 will the spedo gear fit or is there an adaptor for that. What about the clutch slave? How's the pedal feel? I would need to get an adapter because the tranny uses an electronic speedo. Honestly, I havent even looked into it yet. I might just go with an aftermarket elec. speedo. It uses the stock mitsu slave with a braket that's included. I should be able to get to it this weeknd and take it for its maiden voyage. According to Chad, the pedal is close to stock feel. The old act I had was super hard...if it's anything close to that, I'm good with it. The 3+ clutch is supposed to be pretty streetable with the holding power of stage5. So far, its been pretty smooth sailing. The only pain in the culo was getting that heavy biyoch up there and stabbing it. Hammering the tunnel was not so bad...it's the only time you can let out some anger on your car and not regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questsi Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 One of the last pieces of the puzzle. Just waiting on the pinion adapter now. http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTI2NzA1NDZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted77. Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Besides going MPI, this to me, is another of the greatest MODS to do on a SQ. I've stripped a few teeth off of 2nd gear in two trannies. I still have the 2nd one in the garage. I'm not sure if it was because the trannies were just old and fatigued or what, but both times it was during a heavy load. And believe me, I love my car so if it didn't want to slide right into gear while slamin' the gas peddle I wasn't trying to force it and damage something. I never have liked how it has always been a pain to get the car into 3rd gear when the RPM's are way up there. I know, some may say syncros wearing out, but I've been in a few SQ's and they all seemed to be kinda sticky getting into 3rd unless you give the car some time to line every thing up. I've always thought the car needed a sixth gear cause 5th in the SQ tranny is just too steep. I mean six speed tranny and MPI, c'mon...give it to me big dog!

heefner Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 That drive shaft is dead sexy! The only concern I have is of the aluminum crossmember. Will that thing hold up to heat vibrations and 500" ft lbs of torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I hate to say it but you have more money in your trans and driveshaft then most guys spend on their total car. Not that 3k is alot for the parts you have I'm just making a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that thing hold up to heat vibrations and 500" ft lbs of torque? Almost dont want to get it dirty under the car. I actually bought a new tranny mount from summit that attached the tranny to the brace. I don't forsee any problems and being that this is still in the R&D stages, I'm not expecting anything.

YELLOWHELL Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 My God I can't wait to see what that thing is capable of. With that tranny you should yield good MPG and still have the Power of Olympus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
