Trackspeed Engineering's V8 Race Car Build
3 Attachment(s)
We are just getting moved into a new shop, and along with a few customer builds we are getting started on our Trackspeed Engineering V8 race car build. It's being built for use in Miata Challenge and SCCA ITE as well as some enduros once it has proven itself.
The donor tub: Attachment 191940 Head start as it already had the back half of the cage when I picked it up, also can see we ripped out the entire interior: Attachment 191941 Already motor-less and ready for clean up and transmission tunnel widening: Attachment 191942 Work will really get started on it in the first couple weeks of January. Hoping to complete it by the end of February but we will see if we can meet that timeline with all the goodies this car is getting. |

Some parts that are sitting and waiting. Lots of fittings in the boxes as well but not visible in this picture.
Attachment 191852 Also stripped down the chassis wiring to only the parts I'll need. New chassis wiring: Attachment 191853 Remainder of wiring for the dumpster: Attachment 191854 |
Looks like you need a ls1 nitrous kit.

More info? And info on anything you guys do for LSx motors. Not looking for huge power to start out, but will be upgrading down the road of course.
Jesel also makes the rest of the valvetrain stuffs: solid roller lifters in two pricing groups (one piece & tool steel, in dog bone, tie bar, and keyway styles) and shaft rocker arm kits from Sportsman LS1 direct bolt on to ProSeries long pivot rocker mill-everything-off-and-start-over 1" valve lift 1.650 spring setup for the drag guys running big cube LS based blocks. We also have pushrods and I've done a few cam cores for LS engines.

Good way to keep from busting timing chains..... :bowdown:

The chain busting was just one more reason I went little with the ASA cam, and lighter with LS6 valves and Ti retainers.
Are you fabbing up a bracket for the oil pump and switching to a cogs setup on the main drive? That thing makes my special parts light up...... :D |
I thought most racing bodies did not allow the S bend for the door bars? Sweet build either way.
|
Just use an LS7 or LS9 they are already set up for dry sump, Also Ive been in the LS game for a while and have only heard of a timing chain problem once, when a guy used a very high mile stock set when he changed his cam, but no problems with after-market sets. What I do hear of quite frequently is the lifters not holding up to the big cams and on earlier LS motors the push rod would fail with a big cam as well. The main and cheapest fix people have been doing for this is to get a set of LS7 lifters and some after market push rods, no problems at 8k+ and a big cam.

O ya forgot to mention, if you need a mock up block I have one in my garage w/heads if you want it for your build pm me and Ill bring it to the miata challenge at buttonwillow.
