i realized the other day that my current chassis design allows me to use the exact same suspension geometry front and rear. everything can be the same apart from the wishbones due to the front wheels needing to be able to turn properly. what i figure, since i can use the same knuckles all...

i'm confusing myself! i've been researching engine management systems lately just to see what i'd need. if i buy that audi engine i'm currently looking into, i'd need to get an ecu too. even if i get an engine with the stock ecu, i'd still need something able to manage boost later on in the...

i've since recovered from the prospect of using an american engine in my custom design. in the end, the only one i would ever put in without feeling guilty was the dohc ford modular motor, but that would be even more expensive to take care of than the original audi v8 idea i had in mind...

i've gotten my front a arms modeled for my custom chassis, and i'm starting to get rather concerned when looking at the models. the a arms are insanely short... i'm trying to remember my dimensions off the top of my head right now, but i know the lower a arm mounting points are 18.75...

i'm still on the audi route with my scratchbuilt project, but i just spoke to my uncle who works on audis among other cars, and he thinks i'd be better off financially with an american engine. well, i just looked to see what crate engines are available and a) they all look too big and b) they...

yesterday, i finally finished the cut list for my chassis and determined the total weight based off the cut lengths and a catalog. the current design uses 2"x3" 11 gauge tubing for only the bottom-most parts, including the box surrounding the passenger bay, the backbone, and the front and rear...

alright, my first post with previous research.:sweatdrop: i've been reading on here a lot about the audi transaxles, and i've become interested in the 01x and 01e. what i plan to do for my prototype car is drop in an audi v8 (most likely, an abz motor) and eventually convert it to twin turbo. if...

i forgot i made a profile on here ages ago!:stunned: i'll pop in here now to say hi (officially). i'm sure i may get flamed for this, but i have no gt40 and won't have one any time soon. i actually joined this site because of all the good technical info i've been finding regarding audi engines...

since the audi transmission is so popular in the gt40 replicas, i'll assume the engine is used as well. i've been comparing audi's 4.2L v8 to their 6.0L w12. the chassis that i designed can fit both, and they both have the power output i want, but i don't know the maximum rpm of each. i think i...

sounds easy, i know, but i need rather uncommon statistics about the ls7. one thing i want is exact measurements of the exterior since i have a page with measurments of an lsx-based truck motor, but nothing is really the same. another thing i need to know is what kind of kinetic energy it takes...

anyone know of a transmission that would fit in a car similar to a gt40 in build that could take up to 800hp? a car that i'm finishing the design and engineering of is set to have an twin turbo ls7 engine that i've seen put out 725hp, but i expect more due to my intercooler design. originally, i...
