Im sorry to inform you guys... but ill be the poster child of to much power on dinky axles. Yep just popped my drivers axle... so much for tuning this week. it was bound to happen. now what lol. who makes strong 5sfte axles. maybe these were just old since i did beat them up with both 5sfte setups and the 3sgte. damn.....

i have some vids. you can hear the clunking and me saying to a buddy "i hope thats my axel" and it is.

Hmm i didn't realize axles were that cheap i can get new ones for under $100 bucks. not bad.
i guess i'll go pick some "life time warranty" ones from auto zone.
ill just be accustom to breaking them every week.

tehehehe, well, we know your for sure making good power!!
damn john, we're gonna havta find ya some 3sge axles like jeff has, see if those will hold up..
if not, it may just be time to upgrade to the e153 with the ATS cromoly cage upgrade!!!
hehehehe

Good idea Manny. maybe a member from out side the US can help me out
I don't wanna by the e153 because next winter i'm serious about trying AWD.

So can anyone help me out with 3sge axles?

[x_itchy_b_x]

Here's what is used on my gt4 and SSII,III
Check if those are the partnumbers you need
43470-29466 Shaft assy front right/left outboard - $280
Its assembly 43460 on the attached image


Maybe you can order it in the states. If not I could try and find out what the s&h would be from Russia

Awesome, Thanks for the help RZ.

Hmm, maybe someone with the part number catalog can tell me what part numbers the 3sge ones are, then possibly someone from outside the US could source them for me. It would REALLY be appreciated.

i got the axle situation out of the way for now. i just put auto zone lifetime warranty re-manufactured ones in. i think alota to do with these ones breaking is because they were warn and abused from the start or my car. I still wanna find some st202 ones or custom fabricated axles in the near future just in case. but i think these new ones will last a while. Thanks for the help guys.

I really hat bumping this thread because its so big lol.
but i wanted to show you a guys a pic i didnt take. its was taken at a car show
at a local college. it was a good turn out. i didnt have time to clean up my car or the engine bay though so its not as clean as id like it.



heres more pics of the car show. to bad these were taken before a majority of the nice cars showed up.

dyno hopefully this weekend. I'm so happy with the car right now.

[x_itchy_b_x]

I want some G** DAMN videos please.

as soon as it stops raining I swear
I dont think it would be much fun at all in the rain

[x_itchy_b_x]

because its diesel. no pun intended.

This could be the most technologically advanced bolt on turbocharger available today. Capable of producing more than 500 horsepower at the wheels and able to run in excess of 35 pounds of boost. This Holset HX-35 is the only turbocharger available with a "Map Width Enhancement" groove. This groove is machined into the inlet of the compressor housing to allow air to be fed to the second set of blades on the compressor wheel. This increases efficiency and overall air flow by more than 10%. All Holset turbochargers come standard with a 360 degree thrust bearing.

It being very easy to come by, (dodge cumins diesel trucks) durable, after market support (rebuild kits, parts)
and pretty inexpensive used.

[x_itchy_b_x]

actually, right now the turbo is off the car along with the manifold and dp, im ceramic coating them and putting them back on. also i bought a large inline muffler because it was just way to loud for street use. once thats done ill try to get it up to DSG dent sport garage in Boston. hes been busy the last couple weekends with rally racing. soon though I cant wait to get it on the rollers.

[x_itchy_b_x]

Any pictures of your exhaust setup as of now?

I <3 side exit

right now i dont. i'm pulling down the exhaust to take out one resonator and replace it with a big muffler. but ill still be rocking the side exhaust. ill take a few pics of everything when im done. Sick of having to shut the car off at stop signs when i see a cop, or throwing it into neutral when i'm driving around and spot a cop lol.

[x_itchy_b_x]

when you made your turbo adapter bracket, where did you get the flange for the manifold side?

I cut it off my old SSAC tubular manifold.

[x_itchy_b_x]

well those of you who wanted a video. i didn't take this one. Manny did. i just found it on youtube when i searched for holset lol. thanks Manny! i forgot all about this lol.

[x_itchy_b_x]

i get the torque steer in higher gears. i think that was just a little of 1st and 2nd lol. 3rd - 5th is were its ges fun because the turbo has more load on it to spool faster. like doing 60mph punch it and it to pass someone on the highway and it wants to pull you into them lol.

[x_itchy_b_x]

once you get it tuned... i think it will get more responsive and pull even harder.

i know what you mean about it wanting to pull you to the next lane. had that happen before..lol.

word, and bump the boost up to were the turbo really shines.
haha Dan thanks buddy

[x_itchy_b_x]

Two step is just a lowered rev limiter. but I have it cutting ignition like 400 rpm sooner than its cuts the fuel. so at 4200 rpm it basically misfires because of lack of spark all that fuel is dumped into a very hot manifold and ignites then spools the turbo. Sorta like anti lag but it doesn't retard timing.

I have it so its active only under 15mph for launching at the track or just for fun

[x_itchy_b_x]

ceramic coated. woot.

[x_itchy_b_x]

just got done.

[x_itchy_b_x]

asap, but before the dyno i need to put my new muffler in place of one of my resonators. the exhaust it just to loud and screams pull me over. so i dont wanna drive the car to Boston with an exhaust like that. this weekend i should get the exhaust done. and any time after that im down for dyno-ing.

unfortunately my friend who was gunna help tune the car, crashed his bike and broke all the bones in his right leg, collar bone, and i think a few ribs.
I was also going to use his lift to do my exhaust but i guess ill just have to use 4 jack stands again to do the exhaust

[x_itchy_b_x]

they don't call it the heart breaker dyno for no reason

It's tuned really well now. we stayed at 1 bar though, we think its best to keep it there for now until pistons. then he said just raising the boost 5lbs will bring the turbo into its prime and would easily make 400whp on his dyno. never mind a mustang dyno.
hopefully the 14th we can get to number bragging dyno

he thinks i might have alittle to much excessive blow by to risk raising the boost.
Im not sure though, no oil vapor is in the blow by, there just alot of crank case pressure. nothing a vacuum pump cant bandage for now though.
so now i might have to add a few piston and rod install pics into the mix.
now its tuned for everything, not just WOT.

[x_itchy_b_x]

yeah its a bit laggy. but the best remedy to that is to down shift
its alot like a high power band 2 stroke lol.
