Porsche Carrera or Boxter... maybe?

I don't know, but I would imagine somebody has done it. Either way, it is a VERY small crowd.

It also prevents all the smoking of clutches possible with the MT, too.

You're gonna try and put all that power through the front tires?!?

I think that'll be tough to make a set of front tires last... AND not get overcome with torque steer.

This has been my hang up as well... wether to build the auto to take supercharging, or go MT. I fear most 5 speeds may end up getting trashed but the 6 isn't THAT much stronger and all the final gear ratios aren't as good for highway cruising as I'd like (in basically all MT's available).

how is the belt and pulley system going to be run?

Met with the metal shop guy today and gave him the manifold back to work on. When we get it back we should be able to bolt the whipple supercharger up to it. He'll also be making the beginings of the adaptor plate for the throttle body so we'll be able to start lining stuff up directly on it and mark it up. The space left to squeeze the/a alternator back into is tight but we'll work it out.

But in the past I was only able to spin one wheel. Now maybe if I do it right I'll get both and with out having to do a neutral drop or reversing first.

mikecg · #**148** 10-28-2004, 02:07 PM

Oh, and no I dont do nuetral drops. I did one once a long time ago in a different car and I didnt like the loud bang that comes from the tranny. If I break traction with pure accelaration it's one thing but that hard slam will break even the strongest of trannies.
It's just the only way I can think of that would possibly spin both tires in dry conditions. Wet pavement I have broken both tires loose.

Matthewmongan · #**149** 10-28-2004, 03:39 PM

one quick tranny question. i dont want to derail the topic of this thread but it their any way to change the power distribtion of the svx from 90-10 to the euro spec 35-65

NikFu S. · #**150** 10-28-2004, 05:43 PM

I'd be down for that.
90-10 is stupid anyways.
