13B Turbo Powered Sandrail

Just finished up a rebuild and installation of a S5 TII engine, and a bunch of other parts, into a Tatum Spider Sandrail, so I figured I would share a few pics. We will be changing out the wheels next week and putting it on the dyno for some engine break in.

Here is the complete project page Banzai Racing (Wahl Sand Rail Engine Installation)

looks good, the previous motor died a horrible death.

What EMS is this using ?

It has a Motec.

The motor that came out not only blew apex seals, it was severely overheated cooking the coolant seals, then it was run until it spun the bearings...a trifecta of blown up.
