All done :)

Yep, the motor is in, and cranks. Normal compression, forged NGC motor. Now I just have to figure out this MS2 thingie, and Grrtrude will be back on the road, making close to 3 BAR of boost. Yay, happy day.

awesome, good to hear! that is a lot of boost...post up some pics and numbers when you have her all back together.

Holy shit, 45psi??? What turbo?

Wow! That much boost?!?!

Sick man.

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:34 am

No, not 3 bar of boost. 3 bar of pressure. Gotta account for the boost nature gives us...

Post by **occasional demons** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 8:02 am

Hmmm, so that would be two bar of boost...

Post by **jonnymopar** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 9:19 am

45psi - 14.3psi (atm) = 30.7psi

That much boost me tingle down there.

That is a goodly amount of boost

Can't wait for you numbers

yeah me too and a vid of it running?

Doesn't run yet. Having trouble getting the MS2 to read the crank position. I'll work on it more tonight...

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 9:41 pm

OK, got it reading RPM fine now. Just gotta make it road-worthy and I'll start it.

Erick! Call me when its on the road, I gotta see this!!!

It's running. Just running pretty poorly. I need to tune, which will be happening tonight.

Grrr!!! Engine was running great, and then the transmission seized up, locking the driver's front wheel and sending me into the ditch. I got it towed home, and now I have to pull the trans and replace it. So much for an OBX differential....

bummer. it seems like when things are all getting worked out issues like this have to come about. oh well, at least it isn't too bad.

so it was the obx that caused the problem, eh?

Sounds like it's time to find a T850 out of an SRT-4 and stick in it. With that much boost you'll be making enough power to need a stronger transaxle.

3 BAR of boost

You did say boost though....

You seized a T350? DAMN, did you run it out of fluid

The T350 is tested to support 165ft/lbs of TQ, thats why its behind a 2.0 that does not generate that much power....
Did you beef up the T350 at all?
What failed on the trani?
I'd understand if you broke something because of all the power your putting down, but in order to seize it you must have ran it low on fluid or overheated it.

It was a bad differential from what I can tell. It cracked from the output shaft bores to the bottom of the case. And seeing as I put 30ft/lb through it at most, it wasn't a power related failure.

Erik,

You've got to be FCK!NG KIDDING.

NOT Cool.

Once word of this gets out on "The.Org", I don't think people will be so keen to buy the OBX anymore ......

Plz.keep us posted.

I still have to pull it all apart and figure out where it broke. I also need to try and salvage the bell housing. It's a lot easier to find a good deal on any 3.55 trans than specifically a hydro trans. (I like the gear ratios in the 1st gen trans better anyway with 3rd and 4th being a little closer together.)
