Looks good Tim. . .Need to get down there to your shop and check it out

 

[Will Carter]

Sweet. I've always wanted to build something with stub short rockwells. You gotta flip the pinion around for mid engine right?

 

[firetoy]

flip the pinion around.

 

[gmentavlos]

You ought to fit in some tight trails with that. Nice work so far.

 

[GONOVRIT]

Damn! Did you work on it the last 48 straight hours? Tell Jen to take another vacation and I think you could have it done by the end of the wk

This thing is going to be ridiculously cool

 

[Yay!Gurrr]

so far the specs are as low and small as possible.

we are going to use a waste gate setup. controlled of boost.

 

[Hurley]

I meant the variable geometry actuators on the turbos - they are stock units from the VGT cummins engines, no?

yep. thats what i mean, we are running the lever with a waste gate. when boost builds it will open the turbo and when boost falls it will close.

 

[BRUISER]

very cool

 

[snappy]

Any concerns with melting seat belts with the bar that close to the turbos? Looks sweet as the Norm for you.....

Roger that!

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

are you going to try to offset the rear tcase output to get the front driveline more inline?

also are you going with Super8 hubs, or working on a homebrew 8 lug?

I have been planning this same build, but without the turbos...
