New Wevo'd 915 from the boys in Phoenix and Tangerine Racing Evo 6 exhaust system all bolted up.
Fired up the engine today after not being run for 12 years! Got oil pressure after a couple of cranks and then she sputtered into life. Webers were dismantled, cleaned and new gasket set fitted beforehand they still need tuning though. Couple of questions re: transmission. What is the recommended oil to use with the 915? Diff is a Wave Trac torque biasing unit. The clearance between the rear shift linkage rod and the headers appears to be very close. Although I haven't bolted it in yet, I fear the rod may contact the exhaust when attempting to shift. Anyone else running this set-up? Thanks again and all comments welcome.

QUOTE(phillstek @ Sep 12 2011, 03:45 AM)  Couple of questions re: transmission. What is the recommended oil to use with the 915? Diff is a Wave Trac torque biasing unit. Phil, That all looks very nice! Regarding the transmission lubrication. Internally the 915 is not that different than a 901 (same type of synchros, etc.) It is the post 915 transmissions that have the Borg Warner style synchro that might need a different oil as is used in a 901/915. I would ask your transmission builder for their opinion and with respect to the TB Diff, I am assuming the manufacture would also provide lubrication recommendations. As this is a TB and not a clutch type, I am thinking that you should be able to use regular GL-5 WITHOUT needing something that has LSD specific friction modifiers. I have typed up this document awhile back and it might help... http://www.blueskymotorsports.com/index.ph...16&Itemid=6 Richard |
