I don't know if you could have a better setup then the Ford 9" and the G-Force. And have you ever met Paul... if you have, you'll know what I mean when I say that challenging him would be a bad idea...

 

Hahah exactly! But this Mazdaspeed manifold uses a T25 flange !!! Smaller than the T3 flange.

 

edit, Yeah I've met Paul, hes crazy to take a FWD into the 8's. lol

 

Not even a T3? For shame...

 

LOL I know, they have a pretty small turbo from factory. But they are just a regular Protege 2.0 engine block with a turbo on them, any kind of larger turbo upgrade needs to have an engine built for it.

 

That black car has nice doors!

Nice work Joe!

 

That's not what I meant (but I guess it's true)... he'll probably try and hustle you! That, or he'll bring something other then the Civic. Have you heard of his "Datsun" 240Z that he built?

 

Just like the 323GT/GTXs! The only difference is that the engine in the 323's is a hell of a lot stronger!

 

Yeah Pauls Datsun sounds pretty bad *** too. We'll see how our car comes together.

We're kind of stuck though right now since Nopi doesn't have a rule book published yet, we dont really know how to build our car just yet...

 

I would use the IHRA specs as a basis because chances are the Nopi specs aren't far off from them. I think the orange car was built to IHRA specs, or the cage at least.

 

Heres a couple pics of the chassis and the rim and rear tire combo we bought. The rear tires are 31" x 16" on 15" rims.
The chassis starts to get cut apart this week, hoping to have it fully done in 2 months.








Heres an example of the chassis builders work and its exactly what he is doing for our car:

 

We decided on an FB because of the availability and they are nice and light to begin with.
The chassis will be NHRA legal for 7 sec and will weigh 2000lbs with driver and driveline once finished.

 

what are you planning on for a trans?

p.s. what's the best way to contact you, we need to talk about something...

 

Whose doing the chassis work?

 

G-force 2000 clutchless 5 spd.
http://www.gforcetransmissions.com/tran_gf2000.asp

If you want to talk to me, call me at the shop pretty much anytime 519-513-0350

The chassis work is getting done by a good freind of mine, he doesn't have a shop, he does this in his shop behind his house. He's built several NHRA spec cars already.

 

I can see that's a toyota starlet wat is the chassis guy's name and post pics of your car keep us inform nice rx7 i also have a 1gen my dad
says to do the same thing but it's alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Lucho...you know him?

 

no but the toyota starlet look's very good nice Job he did i like your 1 gen

 

hope you aren't planning on making real power with that g-force trans, a friend of mine has one in his camaro and has blown it up at least 10 times over the past 1500 miles. I think his last one didn't even last an entire pass.

 

it will least. u don't know what ur talking about. that tranny will work perfect its going on a rotary not a v8 that makes crazy torque. plus the top fuel guys use this tranny. Its torque thats going to kill the tranny. theres guys runnning 6sec-7sec with these tranny with no problem. ur buddy must run a cheaper g force. this is thebest tranny g force makes. they don't cost $8000 for no reason.

 

Omg plus ur cars ways like 10 lbs lol

 

Like 3rdgenktown sed if you dont know wat your talking about dont say that thos
trans can take a lot's of power guy in puerto rico are doing 7.40 or 6.90 so buddy
do some research befor you say anyting ok my friend that's like me saying that
a rotary cant do 1000 hp see you my peep's.

 

1: rotaries can do 1000HP


2: I'm just saying, I've seen quite a few blow up.. the input shafts fail all the time, and my friend hates g-force enough that I figured I'd say something.

his car is a street driven LT1 powered camaro, weighs around 2800lb, and only runs 9's. We aren't talking some 2000HP big block monster here, just a nitrous powered LT1.

 

Thats a shitty deal, he musta been buying Chinese made g-forces lol.

I'm not too worried about the G-force at all. It'll hold up to the power we want to make, plus the G-force 2000 has a very nice warrenty

Edit; I guess I should change the title to 'Drag FB project' now lol.

 

The G-Force box is very strong. The Cobra R I have raced out on the West Coast has a G-Force box and we have pounded the poop out of that bax for over 20 hours with no issues. The Mustang weighs close to 3,000 lbs, runs 15" wide slicks and make close to 700 hp and over 500 ft lbs of torque.

If the box lives under that abuse, I am sure that it will live driving a 2100 lb drag car making less than 6 ft lbs of torque, LOL. Oh wait, Joe is a full scale dude, so the car may weigh 2112 lbs.

All joking aside, those boxes are bulletproof as long as you use the right gearlube and operate within the manufacturers rated limits.

Eric.
