Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

It was where it attached to the passenger side end tank. It looked like the impact had pulled it out slightly. I did two sessions at Sebring the weekend before without any problems or signs of a leak. It must have have started leaking more why I was on the interstate but my wife was behind me and didn't see anything.

Just another quick update, transmission back on, turbo kit re-installed, bigger charge pipes being fabbed up this week and hopefully on the dyno next weekend... Like I said before I had to order a bushing for my hd csc and os giken twin clutch which held things up for a few days..
I'm now debating on buying a good lsd but don't want any additional noise. I have always thought of a lsd was mainly for drifting. Any thoughts?

I didn't realize my car had an open dif and it about caused me to crash the car into a wall at Sebring, if you do any hard cornering/ tracking it's much safer with a LSD.

What about overall traction? Just ready to get my car back.

JWillis72

It helps straight line traction when you are on it hard because it's harder to brake two tires loose. Where I feel if most is coming out of a turn hard and fat, with an open dif if you unload the weight off the inside tire and try get get in the gas the inside tire starts to spin and the outside starts to slide. On our cars when that happens the yaw sensor kicks in and cuts power, I had a group of cars behind me when it happened that came very close to hitting me while I was spinning without power.

The other place real lsd helps is on even surfaces. If you are accelerating hard you lose traction and will get wheel spin and fish tail, with a clutch type or Wavetech rear diff, the are locking so it minimizes fish tailing and spinning so the loss of acceleration is lessened significantly.

The misnomer in drifting is that traction isn't important, it is just as important as road racing because you cannot control your drift without traction!

Any recommendations on a good lsd and what about the install? Is this a weekend job or does this require a professional ? I can honestly say I have done everything but a gear change, etc..

TBatt

The tricky part is to get the gear lash correct. Most of the time, the factory shims will get it right but if not you will have to take it back apart re-shim check and then repeat until right. Not real hard but time consuming and if you don't have the correct shims you got to get them. I'm doing what JWillis72 did, well almost, I'm taking the whole car to Z1 for the Quaife and then a dyno tune. That is, when I get the fuel pump replaced.........

OS Giken here. Best one in my opinion. Most expensive one too unfortunately. Like most people, I got lucky with the backlash and did not need to change shims.

I sent mine to Z1, I was told it's requires a professional. I picked up a open dif of eBay and sent it to them then sold mine when it came back. I have a quaife in mine and it doesn't make any noise that I have noticed.

I went with Wavetech because it locks and it is low maintenance like Quaife. The two a comparable in every way accept the Quaife act like an open differential if one one or both tires lose contact with the surface.

I just ordered the RJM Newly Revised Rev 3.1 clutch pedal. After going with new os giken twin disk I figured it wouldn't hurt and will do a full review soon enough.

TBatt

Even though I have the second version of the RJM pedal, I will go to the latest version along with his MC when I do my clutch. I'm really interested in how the twin disc clutch works out. I hate grabby clutches. I pride myself with being able to drive as smooth as any automatic with a manual. Close to 50 year of practice..........

Right on, I will be sure to do a full review. We had a little mis-hap with the bushing provided and over extended the csc so I had to go with another but it is also a upgrade from the previous csc from zspeed. This new csc is a one piece design and supposed to be even stronger..

COSMO

Would like some advice of tires ? With massive power coming I think a bit more contact patch wouldn't hurt and currently I'm running stock nismo tire size and rims.
