Xt6 Svx

Have you guys seen this?



An SVX engine in an XT6 with 4.11 gears.
I own and am in love with both cars. But to combine the two into one...... I'm speechless!!!

Don't XT6's weigh around 2,600lbs? With a 230hp EG33, that car will be a screamer!!!!!!

Thanks guys....I call it "Frankenwedge"
I haven't weighed it yet, but with the trunk cleaned out, should come in just under 3,000 pounds.

IT's a blast to drive, gets better gas mileage, than it did with the ER27 in it, and has a better power to weight ratio than a WRX

I still have some wiring bugs to work out, and plan to re-locate the battery to the trunk, to help with the weight bias (it pushes worse now)

Maybe do a Stage II when I have a little money to spare...

Everyone at the Alcyone Dragon Meet got to go for a ride in it ...so you guys should have shown up!!!

It will definitely throw you back in the seat.....

He used the XT6 Cybrid steering system. You can see the pump on the passenger side firewall...

And I think Kevin want him to use the SC with a Nitrous boost

The alternator already hits the hood.....I'd have to cut a hole in the hood for the supercharger pulley....not that I'm completely above that

So if someone wants to donate a Stage III to me, I'll slap it in there ...a XT6 pushing about 500hp ought to turn a pretty quick quarter

I know you want to enjoy her for a while - but you should seriously consider making a trip to the dragstrip with that beast.

Yeah...but tha only local dragstrip is a 1/8 miler, not a 1/4.....and the clutch slips under a hard launch, so I need to install a heavier pressure plate, to get a better launch.
I also need to rebuild the shifter, so I can find third gear faster....nothing blows your timeslips, like missing a gear
