I spent a couple hours at the shop tonight. I have axles back in the car, in the 108mm variety. The passenger is the oem URQ, but the passenger is my own make from an urS shaft and a 5kq outter.


Basically, the shafts are hollow, so I made a dowel that would be pinned and serve as an alignment more than anything. Then I did a root pass to connect the dowel to the beveled shafts( they are about 3/8" wall tubing, and appear to not have a heat treat on them based on how they lathe). I then layed 2 more passes, untill the height of contour was enough that I could lathe it even. I then made a sleeve that went over the top of the weld, and thenwelded it. A basic slipjoint, affair.

I am excited to see how it fairs. I figure this platform is a good one to test the idea. If the other 2 axles are any indication, This one will be tested enough. I put hte standard white line son it to monitor twist.

Last, I took the oportunity to improve the fuel system. I think my restriction happens on the outlet of the tank. It is only about a 7/16ths id outlet, and I think the 2 044s really need more than that So I opened up the tank(cut it open) yanked out the old hardline, and fabbed out a 3/4" hardline that rests in its place. I had to come home, but I just need to weld it up. Hopefully this will let me run 120psi of rail pressure all the way to redline, instead of the 70psi I see now(70psi-30psi boost= 40psi at injector) If I can, I think I can raise the boost to around 38psi for the next dyno day in April, and I am hoping for 600whp.

PS, that picture was shot with my new HTC EVO 4G. Yes, I have a phone again for all of those who are A) trying ot get ahold of me or B) sick of hearing that my voice messages are full.. Sorry it took so long

Humblest apologies. I can't seem to read my own writing.
