Daniel's TruckStiva Build Thread (56k warning)

That's a lot of power for a used 1.8

Seems like the easiest way to go. But Daniel said he kidded the axle, I wanna know what that's all about!

Hatch my friend, I'm just making my wheel base wider to accommodate

[Nerd Racing]

I paid $60 for mine and it's in better shape

edit, it was $50.

Thing only had 60k on it and was pulled from a bus that had a cracked manifold. The new manifold came with a new turbo.

True but I look at it as flywheel HP, so after drivetrain loss etc it'd work out closer to 7hp per 1lb/min

[Christ]

1 lb/min = approx. 10hp on a theoretical perfect day

So yeah, it's capable of something like 400 reliably.

I prefer to count it as 7hp/lb/min, to get a minimum line instead of hoping for unobtanium.

[Damkid]

What is 52 lb/min? Isn't that like almost 400 HP?

got the final axle last week and modified it and the drive train is complete....went to the jy today and got a set of shift cables from a Hyundai elantra, snagged the shifter as well and modified the ends a little bit and it shifts now through all gears and is very tight, the elantra shifter seems shorter, so I now have a short shifter lol.

I'm curious what ya'll are doing to mod the axles, I'm assuming you mean somehow shorten them to the width of the festiva? Because the protege G axles are too wide. I'd love to be able to somehow mod a pass side escort/protege axle to work in a festiva, so I can use the escort halfshaft with the BP instead of having to mod up the Capri shaft to it.

I'm jealous of that turbo

its the 8 blade...... "The 8blade hx35 has a 56mm compressor inducer. This is found on 1995-1998 cummins manual pickups. The compressor flows 52 lb/min according to the compressor map."
