I used the s4 e shaft,rotors counterweight. I was told I could run the s6 rotor bearings with this. Does your friend agree with that? The builder I talked to told me I was good to go but anyone can make a mistake. If you would like to check on that it would be cool.
I asm trying to get ahold of the builder I spoke with and double check as well

work sucks I want to be at home building a FD

 

My informant tells me I am good to go. Woo,hoo. he has used the exact set-up in his own motor(s). Reconstruction can commence...when i get back from work..Damnit!!

 

no ;uck with the print, it was "inconclusive" so, were screwed i guess. but im in the midsts of possibly trading my vert in for a very nice replacement. sam saw it yesterday. hehehe i would be out of the rotary game for a second, but i would just hunt down an old first gen and be happy with that

 

Dre? In a First gen? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Lol. You should get an SA, so you can have that big shifter you liked! But then I would have to kill you for it....

 

Dave if your running a s4 E-shaft and S4 rotors you will have to use S4 rotor bearings. And Josh is right about the thrust bearing also. Call Bryan down ant RotorSports before you get too much further. I would hate to see you have a bearing failure. There is a reason the bearings are different ih the S6 engines. I think you can use the S6 bearings if you use the S6 e-shaft.

 

Dre. I just want the wheels off that car. If they were staggerd, I would have swiped them already

 

I have talked to him. he is the one who told me what I could use No worries. he has plenty more experience than you and I and Long combined.The bearings are all the same. with the exception that the FD has a couple different clearance sizes Still not an issue. What I am doing is fine and will work fine. I already solved the thrust bearing issue.

I research before i build. That's why I asked him before I aquired the S4 equipment.
Any other concerns please let me know

 

well I started porting my new rear iron today Got all most done when Sam's air compressor went boom!! So just about done. STOCK PORT BIG STREET PORT AND THE START OF THE BRIDGE JUST ABOUT DONE

 

random pic of the day.

 

quit trying to pick up little girls with trophies man, That's just wrong.

 

lol funny dave. didnt really even notice that till you said it.

 

hey guys, what causes our cars to spit out such nasty flames? Is it a tuning problem or what? My guess is when you release the throttle the split second the car takes to respond to the closing of the throttle plates it dumps fuel which just gets shot right out of the exhaust but I'm only guessing.... if one of these flames catches me under a bridge I promise I'l go def it's that loud now....

 

CONGRATS MAN!! hope you're not taking the girl home with you

 

lol yall are nasty.

 

Well guys got the new GSL rear end in the smurf today, gotta get a brake line for it and some pads, and top off all of the fluids. are the parking brake cables on the drum brake rear end and the disc rear end different??

 

YES they are sir

 

well i did swap out the ones that were attached to the calipers, is there any other mods i need to do to the cables from where they connect together?

 

Even when you drop the throttle, there still is alot of fuel spinning out that gets ignited. Thus all the emmisions crap.

Dave I was just told by a couple of different engine builders not mix rotor bearings with different series e-shafts and such. That's all.

 

Well, after my old Craftsman took a crap on me for the umpthteen time, I said screw it and broke down and bought a new compressor. I decided to "upgrade" this time. My old compressor was a 110v 26 gallon oil free piece of crap. The new one is a 240v Kobalt 60 gallon twin cylinder. Moves just a wee bit more air. And the best part is I can actually hear myself think with the new one running

 

Sweeeet So now the bridge can be fixed

 

I will take the advice of Bryan. Who has built MANY engines with this exact set-up. ( Not to mention a N/A 12A BP that made 245 to the wheels...20 years ago and they were dissapointed.
If it doesn't work I will take it up with him. Don't worry about my engine, you have enough to worry about....BTW, I am going and picking up a spare 12A and tranny today. In case anyone needs more 12A parts.

 

No worries mate

 

Much props Josh. Congratulations on the trophy. The Cavvy is looking good man!

 

Dave is that the one up in Greensboro? Its sounds like a good deal if it is.

 

Dave much will you sell the 12A to me for PARTS!!!
