My brother and I picked up a couple rollers and have started our builds. The plan is to put supercharged Hayabusa engines in them, upgrade the suspension and brakes and get them on the road (safely) before working on anything cosmetic.
We picked them up from Keith down in Nepoleon, OH and he recommended I document the build here. My brother is working now on the fab for the engine cradle and sourcing the transfer case to drive the rear axles. My job at present is to beef up the suspension and brakes to handle the planned 300+HP. Mine is the black 74 which will probably end up with steel GT flares. My brother's is the primed and glassed out 72. Let the fun begin! (If anyone has 5-lug / brake upgrade parts available, please PM me) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Maybe a little off topic, but does anyone know if the 901 trans can handle high RPMs?
I know everyone says torque is what kills these transmissions, but can the input shaft spin to 8 or 10k safely? I know with the early RX7's, they limited them to 7k RPM not because of the limit of the engine, but of the transmission. And the transmission would send pieces of shrapnel into the engine bay when they went, so the racecars' solution was a flak jacket around the transmission, hehe. In any case, I know that 914's were often swapped with rotaries, I'm sure if there was an issue with the trans, someone would know. |
