yea, hopefully I get another angle... we raced 35ish and 60ish rolls and I won every time, this race I put 2 or 2.5 lengths on him.... I belive he hit 151 and I was at 160mph.

 

Cool truck man. I have talked to you a few times on the FB Repu owners forum. looking forward to seeing more of it

 

What were the specs of the steel wheels you had on in post #1?

 

17x8 and 17x9 if i remember correct from what he told me.

 

Yep, both the steel and aluminum wheels are 17x8 and 17x9 and 0 offset

 

Anyway you can replicate your lsd kit? Would help a lot of us out thanks sir

 

I hate my open diff, an LSD would be great.

 

I should be putting a welded diff in soon, when I do I will take all the measurements for the spacers. The only difference is that this is a 4.36 rearend and am not sure if the same simple spacer would work for the non-auto rearends. I have been pretty surprised I have not blown the torsen yet with the way I drive.

 

That would be a big help, thanks Kevin. That would be slightly simpler solution than going the axle swap route.

 

Welded diff for the win, I see more drifting in your future.

 

yep, a little drifting and some launching at the strip on slicks.

 

Sorry to bother kevin but any update for us strugglers lol

 

Love the truck man, I used to have a big single turbo FD and recently got a REPU myself, looking to do an REW swap in the future.

I've read this thread multiple times, love it, had a few quick questions I was wondering about that might help me with my build:

Have you upgraded the brakes at all? I was thinking of a way to adapt FD calipers to the front but increasing rotor size with the 6-lug might be an issue, and I really don't want to switch to 5-lug conversion. Also, the rear drums have to go! Any ideas here?

I noticed you used a GSLSE front cover for the REW, anything else special for the swap? Did you run the FD 5-speed too and if yes, did you need to modify the driveshaft?

Thanks man!

 

What turbo manifold are you running?
