idk if you have mentioned it, how much power are you after? and what do you think of the transmission?? will it hold up alright? from what i've read the rear diff and transmissions are weak, but you have a different diff so you're good there. i'd like to know more about the s2k shit i may get into one.

the transmission should be ok for the 450-500 i'm after. you can research it a bit on www.s2ki.com or www.s2kca.com keep in mind my car will probably end up lighter than an s2k, so that may help with the strain on it. as long as i don't do too many hard launches i should be ok. i imagine without slicks it is just going to spin anyway and not hook up good enough to have much impact. maybe i'll have to push it and see how long it will last. i do have a spare that i can rebuild as well if i need to.

yea, i'd really like to buy one but it just sucks that they have weak ass rear ends.

Make sure you record that. Haha. Would love to see. Hopefully you get this build up and running soon.

As light as this thing will be, I doubt you'll have problems with breaking the drivetrain.

weirtech · « **Reply #245 on:** January 25, 2010, 06:10:23 PM »

well, i had a chance to cut out the hand brake section for the driveshaft. it is going to have to go up about 4"... higher than i had initially thought.

and here is a shot of the tranny mounts, there isn't going to be much room for the exhaust, but i'm sure i'll figure something out:

when will the conversion kit be available?

jarebear667 · « **Reply #248 on:** January 25, 2010, 06:39:26 PM »

for him to do something like that there would have to be an X amount of people that wanted it and paid up front. and would prolly be expensive. and you'd still have to install rear end and suspension on your own and hack up your car.

glustic · « **Reply #249 on:** January 25, 2010, 08:20:21 PM »

Finally an update. Any more pics?

Fuck that's what I'm doing. Played that shit for 4 hours last night

weirtech · « **Reply #257 on:** March 02, 2010, 03:20:40 PM »

c'mon, i just got it today. i haven't even opened it yet.

i'm going on vacation for a week starting thursday. i should have an update when i get back. the driveshaft is out right now being made and i should get my lines/fittings for the brakes/fuel lines when i get back. fuel cell is started, just need to weld bungs on, mount it and figure out what i want to do for a fuel level sender. i'm probably going to go with the autometer setup.

danz · « **Reply #258 on:** March 02, 2010, 03:30:00 PM »

what do you think its going to be like for weight distribution aaron?

with all that square in the rear i think maybe even close to 55/45?

weirtech · « **Reply #259 on:** March 02, 2010, 05:52:15 PM »

it is hard to say really. there is probably more weight in tubing in the tranny tunnel than the rear end. also, keep in mind there is going to be a heavy turbo setup over the front wheels as well. but yeah, normally on a ff, the tranny is in front of the wheels. with this it is behind the firewall. the s14 rear end is surprisingly heavy and i don't have the axles or brakes in it yet. i'm hoping to keep the weight somewhere around 2300lbs with the range you suggest, 55% front, 45% rear. i've got 245 tires for the rear and 205's for the front on order also. once they arrive, i'll be looking for wheels with the right offset.

glustic · « **Reply #260 on:** March 02, 2010, 06:08:45 PM »

Hell yeah dude. Can't wait for updates.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #261 on:** March 02, 2010, 06:15:08 PM »

I think it's going to be closer to 50/50. Just look how the engine sits with regard to the front wheels.

The_Fatman81 · « **Reply #262 on:** March 11, 2010, 05:55:08 PM »

ya no shit, i got called on doing that, so now it on....hurry up weir ;D

weirtech · « **Reply #263 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:28:55 AM »

i'll post a small update later today.

driveshaft. 4" .083" dom

i don't have time to work on this thing at all right now. i have a pile of parts waiting to go back on it, but i need to finish the tunnel first and throw some paint in the engine bay.

just a shot of the mock up engine to shut you fuckers up.

Our nagging should be motivation to get shit done, not post pics to shut us up

weirtech · « **Reply #269 on:** April 15, 2010, 01:50:17 PM »

oil return fitting added. it is on the low side of the pan, so i wanted to add a baffle to help with keeping oil from going up the return line on hard left handers.
