this HKS GDpro twin is the solid hub version. I always go w/ solid hubs for lightest weight possible for fast shifting.

 

yes, we used an exedy triple on another evo here.

The tilton carbon twin holds just as much torque w/ one less disc to worry about.
So it was an obvious choice for me. Im not worried about streetability as i dont daily this car at all.

oh the wheels are Ray's/Volk Racing -TE37 +22 offset in 18"x9.5"

 

sick build just read from start to finish care to explain the swirl tank what it does ?

 

well, it won't do much for me at the drag strip... but the build is more about creativity w/ fabrication than anything so it was done. It will probably show me some benefits after im done dragging the car and move on to road racing w/ it on a different turbo setup.

Anyhoo... the swirl tank's function basically is to promote turbulence in the water/coolant flow in order to convince air bubbles to escape in a more efficient way up through the small pressure line to the catch tank/cap. Then of course to the overflow.
Part of this tank is sectioned off for the valve cover's 3 lines also (crank case pressure evac/breather

Nice motor build up

 

Holy crap Tom last time I saw her she was completely different lol. What the hell happened!!!!!

Looks great though bro. More great work from you and Huy.

 

well, the "million dollar" clutch finally came in. Tilton Carbon/Carbon twin disc... yikes this is an expensive twin disc, but supposedly worth it. More importantly, it will hold the torque my HKS twin was not rated for.

another pic of the car as it currently sits.

I don't want to read through the whole thread again so i can't remember is this a DD car at all?? did you ever consider the Exedy Triple? I know the tilton is a very good race clutch, but from what i'm told, thats all its good for...


**EDIT: Nevermind read some post's above and my question was answered**

 

yeah, the evo is technically in street car trim, but no, it will not be daily driven. I have 2 other cars for that. C16 fuel, Carbon Twin rebuilds, and No A/C front faced turbo setup are primary reasons for that, LOL.
There is also a very high chance that the car will morf into a full track setup once the cage is in anyways.

 

Dam deep pockets Tom, let me borrow some money.

 

i wish... i've been broke for a year funding this project. Would've been 10times worse w/out Huy's help though.
What started as a simple shortblock rebuild turned into this full on race build.

I wheeled n' dealed w/ Huy for this clutch... he's got my HKS GDpro twin disc in his daily driver now.

Tell him he owes me a twin, gimme his to rebuild lol.

 

Are those TEs 18x9.5 +22? 255/265? Nicely done!

 

actually there's a perfectly useable Exedy HD twin at the shop sitting on one of the tables, lol. It just needs new discs. Floaters are fine.
