BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

[turboshad]

Sweet run JT! Just when I thought I was catching up to you you go and do something like this. That would suck if it were the axles. How much stronger can you get? Are those ends from DSS CM or just the shafts?

[turbovanman²]

Nice run, those black wheels look awesome,

Could you be the first to break an OBX diff?

I would guess you sheered off the input shaft splines on the cv axle.

[Shadow]

Is the axel in that video just spinning with the diff stationary? (other tire planted) If so you just sheared of the axle at the splines like I did last fall.

Good news = easy fix, bad new = doesn't explain tire shake.

What PSI where you running the 26's down to?

Thanks! DSS axles haev CM ends, the L5 adds a 300m center bar

Thanks! Those are SebringLX's Motegi's, they do look nice!

Maybe... the jury is still out

Both tires in the air, the vid was of spinning drivers side by hand and the passenger side was not rotating. Same if the passenger side spins, no DS movement.

Did you see the axle moving in and out while spinning?

Also, can push the car around the garage w/o noise.... in any gear! LOL!

Only got the tires down to 10psi ... they were too cold

Yep, looked like it was moving in and out a bit. Can you feel the diff turning when you spin/ move it back and forth? If you broke the axel shaft at the splines you should be able to feel the axel on the DS just move freely without the weight of the diff. But when you turn the pass side you should be able to feel the weight of the diff.

I'll try that. I'll also try to turn by hand with it in gear...

You sure that's tire shake? Sounds like your clutch is slipping on the shifts to me in the video. That can feel like tire shake.

[22shelby]

we started out with 11 1/4 psi @ 80 degrees and he said the shake was better than the previous run, so we dropped the pressure down again down to 10 1/4 @ 80 degrees.

I think this was brought up before, but JT was pretty sure it wasn't the clutch. (can't remember why though)

But I deff agree that slipping ceramic puc clutch = feels like tire shake, been there, done that and it took me two full days of drag racing to figure it out!

I'm sure you all remember the dreaded 2nd gear launch on 26" slicks to "test" the clutch.

I broke a DSS axle at the splines and they warrantied it. Said they aren't designed to break in that fashion. Thought I had a pic of it but can not find it.

An L-3 or L-5?

Way to go JT!! I had a feeling new rubber would help a bunch. No hard decision on the tire brand, stick with the MT's.

Have you had better luck with MTs over M&H or Hoosier?

JT, do you think you could fit a 26x10 in there?

[ohiorob]

Way to go JT. to bad about the tranny or what ever it is. so whats your plans for the car this winter?

[turbo2point2]

JT, do you think you could fit a 26x10 in there?

Yes, I had run the M&H 26x10 early on, and swapped to a MT- instant better 60' and more consistant.

[Turbo3Iroc]

An L-3 or L-5?

L3 but there is no difference on the spline ends.

[Reeves]

Awesome on the new PB JT!

My guess is you snapped the axle inside the diff.

I'll have to watch the video again and turn up the volume, all i thought I heard was tire spin?

Interesting, good info. Why do you think that is? Have you ever run the 26x8's of either brand?

Might have to do more body work for steering clearance....

Thanks! Right now, only plans are:

Figure out what broke
Get some 26" tires of my own
Tidy up the bodywork
Inspect/replace oil pump for piece of mind

Once I get traction I can worry about trying to make more power as I had put that off for a while... heck, the cal isn't even done yet and cams are still straight up!

Awesome on the new PB JT!

Thanks! Yeah, leaning towards axle or diff... might look at it tonight

[turbovanman²]

Figured it out yet? How about NOW?

[Shadow]

Yes, I had run the M&H 26x10 early on, and swapped to a MT- instant better 60' and more consistant.

Interesting as I alway liked the M/T 24.5's I was running, but most other's told me M&H's hook way better? I personally think it has everything to do with how you heat them up.

Are the M/T's the Exact same size as the 26 x 10 M&H's?
