I was talking with a race machanic the other day. They told me that a front engined car (stock car) realizes about 20-30% of its' cooling from the air passing around the motor. This represents a pretty significant amount of cooling effect; one that a mid-engined car gives up. Anyone have any...

Re: ERA Build at Tri-C Eng\'g. [ QUOTE ] All, It's been quite some time since I last posted the progress of the ERA GT40 build at Tri-C Eng'g. in Valencia, CA. Sorry, I didn't get the S/N of the chassis. Basically it had gone out for paint, and took a few months to return to their shop. So...

What are the two hose beaded tubes used for; water cooling? Andy

Re: Attempt to join Audi tranny to ford bellhousin Eric, While following your project, some thoughts occurred to me after reading Kalun_D's response. Aluminum cast tooling plate such as MIC-6, might have been a more desirable selection for the flat plate. It is stress relieved (so negligible...

[ QUOTE ] I found a hub, the spline on the 016 is 13/16 x 24. The 01e is a larger spline 15/16 x 23. I will giive them a try before i do what i have planned, thanks. Oh, and the tranny is done being welded, if i can get the ambition to shrink the pics i will post them here. [/ QUOTE ] Eric...

Eric, Give a call to Clutch Masters http://www.clutchmasters.com/shop/?page=shop/index&ps_session=e47da58d630f03599124379402c44e69 They are old time SoCal hotrodders, and do some custom work. Maybe they can make a 10.5" disc to fit. Are you sure about the spline? AFAIK, the Audi 016 and...

Clayton, According to my info: R&P= 4.11, 1=3.60, 2=1.88, 3=1.19, 4=0.84, 5=0.68 Andy

I think Bill's experience speaks volume in this debate. A nicely balanced package is way more fun (or less of a pain) to drive than the big HP stuff for the street. Rare also is the occassion when you can even apply all that HP. Oh, that's right, we're discussing turbo's......It is possible to...

Chris, I use Action-Global Forwarding, Ltd, 017 5386 3222, [email protected] to ship from the UK to the US. Knowlegeable, professional, and shipments arrive as scheduled.....in fact, usually much faster than I would have expected. My last 65Kg shipment from the UK took just 4 days to...

The only two that come to mind for that kind of HP, are Fortin http://www.fortinracing.com/transaxles.html and EMCO http://www.emcogears.com/egb16.htm Fortin claims (in one of my conversations with them) that someone runs a 1000HP drag car using one of their transaxles. Not sure about EMCO...

I watched many parts being fabricated for this car. A business associate owns the machine shop where some of the filming was done for the A&E special featuring the building of the car. Ford has a not so secret design center (an un-marked building) around the corner from me where the car was...

Eurospecsport does not (or at least they didn't used to) offer 2WD 01E's. They pretty much stock transaxles that have a market in the US (including NOS 016's). I had inquired some time ago about a close ratio (AWD) 01E offering that evidently did not pan out for them due to lack of interest. Andy

Mark, Thanks for the speadsheets. I know this was a lot of work!! Andy

Mark, I would be concerned about that narrow 18mm first gear. The widened (25mm)first gear along with the input shaft neck-down was implemented to cure some obvious problems. Shock loading will tear up transmissions. Necking down the shaft will help reduce the shock loading due to torsional...

Perhaps the difference in torque ratings between the FWD and AWD 01E's is due to the torque being shared between the front and rear differentials through a Thorsen (I don't recall the torque biasing of the Thorsen). As such, I suspect the weak link is the differential, so if one were to disable...

Neal, You can use a bypass regulator between the carb and the tank on the return line such as this one from Aeromotive http://216.242.145.16/products/product.phtml?p=15 or this one from BG at the bottom of the page http://www.barrygrant.com/bgfuel/default.aspx?page=49 Don't confuse these...

Hi Mark; What I think Mike asked about the 944 turbo trans. Unless I mis-read his comment, he was referring to the coolant lines on the 944 turbo trans, and not the one pictured in the above post. My appologies in advance if *I* got the whole thing wrong. To clarify my post; my oil flow...

Mike, Some have posted that the differential carrier bearings for the 944 turbo trans and the 016 trans are different. If that is in fact the case, then the systems will not swap as the oil circulating pump on the 944 is integral to the differential side cover. The other stuff (like the rear...
