Hey Guys,

 

Wanting some of your insights on what you think I should do in terms of build. The car is a bit of a mix n match it started life as a NA, then was swapped to a BA turbo engine, but the box Is still a T5 which I dont really have confidence in, new clutch recently went in (Exedy Stock).

 

I am prepping for tune and considering going E85 but wondering whether my drive train will sh*t the bed if I try make any decent power.

 

Below is the existing supporting mods:

Valve springs

255 walbro 

60 ib Injectors 

4 inch dump and full exhuast

FG turbo 3576 

(Car currently has a tune)

 

I have already broken transmission coupling shortly after getting the car back from new clutch and valve springs which was replaced with a Kelpro coupling (no dramas since)

 

I'm torn as to whether I throw a set of 1000cc Injectors and walbro 460 at it and try make as much as I can on E85 or just keep the  existing set up and get a retune on 98.

 

I'd really like to go e85 and try for 350 wheel but I'm concerned about my drivetrain. What do you guys think?

T5 will go bye bye really fast with the mods you already have, let alone the next step you're considering... next will be the N/A diff, if the clutch holds up long enough to transmit the power to it...

 

but realistically, you CAN have "roadside assistance" and save up for a gearbox/tailshaft/diff upgrade setup for the future and enjoy the modification pathway with the ability to recover to a more desirable state of driveline functionality :)
