Ouch man, where you enjoying it though?

angeljoelv

always. the car is just a blast to drive man. I cant wait to get my 8.8 in there, waiting on the axles. I lowered the boost as low as I can but I guess it still has to much powa.. hehe

lol too much powa for the stock parts, otherwise i don't believe in there being too much power lol

angeljoelv

I hope. I'm planing to use every single bit of power i can get out of it. The problem is there is always a weak link. first it was the tranny (solved), then the clutch(solved), now the axles. lets see whats next, or if we go back to a vicious cycle..

angeljoelv

lol you have any pics of the axles?? im sure they would make cool paper weights :p

angeljoelv

I have pics of the old ones. Ill take some pics this week of the recent ones.

cool want to see what they look like lol

angeljoelv

This is the pair that just broke

this are the BHR set I just installed. We had to machine them becouse they were bent. The guys were more than willing to help us out with a new set, but I desided to fix them my self. Just want to clarify that Charles is tha BOMB. He contacted me several times to get them fixed but I simply didnt do my part.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

How in the hell did you get bent shafts?? Was it your fault or bad packaging?

angeljoelv

I have no idea. Im not going to give dumb opinions. lol All I know is i got them in and the car vibrated like crazy. At first I thought it was the dirve shaft, I got that balkanced. It didnt help. Took the axles out and had my father in law check them. Sure enough they were both bowed. Carles was on top of it at all times. He is a great guy. But my father in law said he could fix them so we just did that..

wow angel, it sux aboout your axls, I can't imagine how much torque you are making

NeSSaYah

That HUGE turbo prolly has the same lag as the size ?
Have U measured the HP / torque so far ?
When does the turbo come up ?

Anyway Gtaz ! Grat project, keep up the good work mate !

bhop

lol bro, it seems like you're always breaking your axles, but no surprise though. Time to start another project but just on suspension?

Believe me we'd like to know too.

I know how!! Poor quality... Someone had a little too much to drink and did a bad heat treating cycle

oh and let me add, you guys didn't check them. But you probably just drop shipped them?

angeljoelv

3 rotors do pretty good with big turbo's. you would be surprised. As soon as I tune the car I'll take some on board videos driving around and we can all enjoy and get the answers to your questions. In the mean time I rather not answer your question becouse I cant give you facts.

angeljoelv

Truth is they are stock axles man. I'm working on an 8.8 ( ford) swap that will be ready soon. The rear end ts already laid out and is just waiting for custom axles. Once I get this installed there will be NO braking axles again. ( I hope). So I'll call that my next project for now.
