out of pure curiosity does anyone know anything about this company https://rushautoworks.com/car_post/rush-gt/ they claim it will use the C8 DCT. I’m sure it only lives in CAD for now however they do look legit since the small open top model is in production. Just trying to find out more about...
Does anyone who raced in NASA SU this past weekend ? There’s some footage of the race here (skip to 4:20) unfortunately there’s not much footage of the Aero except for in a few shots. Would be nice to see some onboard action.
Awesome their car burned less fuel than the Alpine. However the Hybrid AWD Toyota’s are just too quick and burn heck of a lot less fuel. And friendlier on tires. Great effort. I wish BoP would allow them to have a bit higher hp.
Wow the Aero looks awesome. Can it run times close to a lmp3 car ? I’ve seen a Ligier LMP3 run in nasa unlimited and won some races. I think the aerodynamics on lmp3 is designed for very low drag since they’re made to run endurance races where fuel efficiency matters.
They get wrecked quite often. So replacements won’t be too problematic. If some shops can partner up and develop a custom firmware for the motec to control it that’d be great.
Just to clarify things there are standalone ECUs that control such boxes for example maxxecu however only certain dct’s are supported (older M3s) there are others however it’s a beta software at best and some people can’t get it to work right due to buggy software. If only high end professional...
That’s a steal at that price granted someone develops a controller for it. I belive Dodson Engineering ran some tests on the stock clutches and they only start to slip around 600-650 ft-lb, pushing a 3,600lbs car. I’m afraid the canbus might be encrypted and vin locked so therefore getting the...
It’ll be way over $100k for an ev drivetrain. Realistically close to $200k. You’ll never make up the savings. And you’ll definetly need a donor Tesla or something similar or how else will you control the battery motor and charging functions ? And all the cooling pumps , battery cell management...
1 of our forum member here Joel has a YouTube channel that explains the build detail very thoroughly. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCv1CGJyGeFznemnXuU5tF_A
Maybe Fran can contact them and offer a package option. I’m very interested in the TCM what kinda input signals it needs. The OEM one needs a ton of sensor inputs including signals from the traction control sensors for correct gear pre-selection. But I’m sure we can do away with a more basic setup.
