Fuel for Thought - Boost me Happy

[Coops]

a fresh rebuilt jc5 may last a while longer, but no idea and not willing to risk half a grand plus to find out!

i had a brand new jb3 in it when i bought it, last owner fitted it, it lasted 6k miles in total and less than 2k after i put it to high boostm that was a 800 item from renault

Which parts of the box can not handle the extra power?

I'm also very curious! There is a modification possible for under the 5th to strengthen the bearing housing...

And also one to re-enforce the diff

[Coops]

you name it, all of it!!

so far i've blown diff bearings, input shaft bearings and stripped gears straight off the shafts, ripping the teeth off the gear itself and the lay shaft its meshed too

only thing i've not done is crack the casing, which i'm fairly sure would happen if i 'strengthened' the bearings or put an LSD in

I broke a casing on the way to the shops! And not running anything like these 2! But I bit the bullit and had a willy box rebuilt, will let you know if it survives Shakespeare! (it's still in warranty)

Sounds like it will be smart to just sell the f7r engine and continue with the c1j

[dhay14]

if your selling give me a call

What are the figures of dans car?

In the vid on santa pod his car seems to have quite some more power than yours.

You run cr 9:1 on skimmed pistons right?[/code]

[Coops]

which videos? lol

i run more than dans, i run 12.4 1/4 mile and he runs 12.8 thats best, obviously there are highs and lows but in all the vids of us both he gets better start as the boy can launch then i reel him in

268bhp to my 285bhp
