Friday:
The clutch slave cylinder blew out so I replaced it. I went for a spirited drive, and 2 burnouts later the spider gears gave up and locked up the axle/tires. I backed up, drove forward, and regained forward motion. Drove straight to the shop and removed the broken bits and gave it a "Lincoln" locker with the big MIG welder. Now it makes all sorts of shuddering noises and squeals when I turn, but it hooks

Just strapped it on the dyno tonight. 327whp/298tq at a buncha boost. The internal wastegate won't let me drop the boost any lower. I only took it to 5700rpm. If I stayed in it it would make more.

The clutch is done.

nice truck, there is one sitting in GI auto salvage, blue 2.5L n/a with a 5 spd there. would be soo perfect to do one like you did with. truck looks nice, thats good power for a RWD and i better it runs a high 11 with a good set of tires

It'll see the track as soon as I get a clutch in it. Not really looking to go too fast with it since it's the DD.

11-12sec daily driver, i can only imagine what you would want to be the drag car.

The rampage was running 10's when i was driving it 60 mi/day to work. The m3 bent a few connecting rods before i made it to the track with 600+whp. The 11.2 run was at a lower power level with a bunch of wheelspin. I am putting a new motor/turbo setup together for the m3. Looking for some 9 sec passes with the leather interior and a stock appearance.

you are one sick man Mike, I gotta see you stuff, im up in Bergen County, almost sold my Black wrecked r/t to one of your friends not long ago. would like to get one of my cars into the 12s one of these days

Good stuff, maybe I could put one in my challenger project

I fixed the boost creep. The HX35 turbo has a divided housing with an internal wastegate bleeding off only one side. I removed the divider up to the wastegate flapper valve, and ported the hole for the wastegate. Now it will hold 5psi. I still need a clutch.

So what kind of clutch are you planning on running?

Mike Radowski · 10-06-2006, 11:33 AM

Nothing crazy. A t3 PP with a stock dakota disc will probably work.

Mike, can you explain more on this statement about your rampage:

"The only changes from the horizon to the Rampage were the removal of the distributor in favor of a pair of MSD coil packs"

How did you trigger everything?

ACR Turtle · 10-06-2006, 03:46 PM

If you go to the link it says he's running an SDS setup.

cj011 · 10-07-2006, 04:20 AM

"The only changes from the horizon to the Rampage were the removal of the distributor in favor of a pair of MSD coil packs, and a Haltech E6k standalone. I also installed a progressive methanol injection kit from alkycontrol to run high boost levels."

no where does he say anything about SDS on the Rampage sight

Mike Radowski · 10-08-2006, 12:01 PM

When I swapped the T3 motor from the horizon to the rampage I went to a haltech E6K standalone with MSD coil packs.

The Dakota is running a SDS system.
