probable world 1st-1.8t ford Pop, rear wheel drive.. tonys project, for those who dont know, part of the badger5 crew 1.8t powered, rear wheel drive, cossy gbox ford pop drag car in the making. one off transmission assembly... T5 cossy box mounted to 1.8t motor enjoy take one 1.8t motor, custom bellhousing and custom billet adaptor plate bolt it all together during mock up swing it into the Pop and in old skool imagery you have the beginnings of a 1.8t powered ford pop, which should be in the 450-500bhp region without the weight of a heavy V8 9" rear axle, spool for a diff.. DTA managed monstor is coming along steadily
Looks interesting Bill How long is the input shaft, has it been extended as its long way from flywheel? Is that an IHI hybrid, looks good
input shaft nests in end of crank currently, clutch setup to be worked out in detail.. parts of audi 80/passat combo we think turbo is my old fp red.
1.8t Ford Pop Clutch should be interesting, but then you have to look at your torque output aswell Bill - but you know that!. I remember the T5 does not like quick changes, but does like a bit of torque to a degree. Good luck with it. Regards
Given the front suspension I'd say it stopped being a ford POP a little while ago It does look fantastic fun though!
its a drag car... it will get the living **** kicked out of it by its owner I can assure you.. will have to see how it fares.. clutches will be consummed no doubt - lol
this is a case of a budget build... so whatever came up @ right price is whats getting built into it. proper shoestring budget and tonys doing all the work himself, with some donations from me like engine, turbo etc T5 is a stronger choice then the Type9 box he originally had..
that is awseome, if he fancys a bit of competition racing point him over to the VWDRC, that will be most welcome
