Project 2G DSM, 8's and Street Driven

[ron korolak]

New project this year is to convert my 5 speed 1997 Talon AWD to an Auto, and go after that 8 second mark while keeping the car streetable. The car has gone 9.6@159Mph with the 5 speed, at 3250lbs. And when it comes to auto's the natural choice is the crew at English Racing, thanks to Lucas, Jeff, Arron, and Myles. I hope I can tuck into the draft behind you guys I will still be running a full sequential Spark Tech ignition system, but pretty much everything else on the car is going to be changed, and I mean everything! Going to be running Comp triple as usual on the car as it has all been an outstanding performer both in power and spool but also in durability. More to come

Yeah I'm hoping to take over 1/2 a second off my 60ft times, plus full boost the whole pass and way more consisency

Whats left of my old 300M upgraded 5 speed transfer case



And the new auto transfer case after machining for the larger 300M output shaft and re- setting clearances.

New 6 bolt to 2G Auto adapter plate

[ron korolak]

So besides an all new engine, trans setup, I'm also redoing the whole chassis. Out with the 8.5 NHRA certified cage and in with the new 25.4 certified chassis. This is going to be alot of fabrication cause I'm going to do it in the car using what I can from the exsisting cage.

[Ron@Revolution]

More parts for the auto swap my Kiggly 6 bolt SFI flex plate, ready to bolt up

[Ron@Revolution]

New Kiggly HLA to help limit the amount of oil getting pushed up to the head a common problem with these motors if turned at very high RPM.

[Ron@Revolution]

So just recieved my new set of Wiesco HD Pistons for my 2.0L build, going to clean them up and do a few tricks and then there ready to install

[Ron@Revolution]

New rods awaiting some final machining and still need to build a jig for the bearings This is going to be a light weight setup as I plan to turn this motor alot higher then I have my 2.3 in the past.

[Ron@Revolution]

Sorry for no updates just been to busy

But here we go

This is whats left of my NHRA cert'd 8.50 Chrome Moly cage

[Ron@Revolution]

Machined a custom fitting to allow me to port water directly to the cylinder head

8's and streetable?

I'd be content with the 9.6


Good luck!
