I don't have a budget, I will spend what I need to spend. I will be doing most of the work myself with the help of another fabricator. I've never worked with Titanium and have made custom stainless exhaust before. I'm making everything from the header to tip. I may do more carbon fiber but I am undecided. Ichitaka I don't know where you are from but "ton" is a unit of weight and "tone" as in two tone mirrors is the correct spelling at least in the American English. And the engine won't need much to hold 350 rwhp. Might need to enlarge the combustion chamber in the heads to lower the compression.

I still am thinking WTF!

Clearly going off the idea that bigger is better, sadly it just isn't true. There is no need at all to go that wide for anything more than looks especially at that power level.

Apart from that some very interesting idea's being thrown around on here.

A TMIC isn't a bad idea, but I don't like the idea of cutting up a brand new hood. D;

ELWONO · 01-01-2012, 08:39 PM

@M life I could always go bigger like 335's in the rear but 295 is just right.

@tree fingers i'll sell you my stock hood i'll make one out of CF

tree fingers · 01-02-2012, 02:47 AM

295's aren't really that big for a 2600# car making 350whp.

What was auto correction on my iPhone. I thought, I've put "tune" and not "tone"

Well, you have highly modded 944, so hopefully you know what you're working with. I will expecting Member Journal of this project.

As for CF, is it gonna be dry or wet?

Sure if you dont like to go round corners quickly. A friend of mine has a rwd r33 running 592hp and is only running 265's which handles and grip fantastically well.
Anything over 255 on this car will ruin the way it drives period.

I just dont understand the need to go that wide at all.

Max Schnell · 01-02-2012, 09:18 PM

People have huge plans for a car that is not released yet. Pretty cool to see that much excitement over a new car.

I suspect the major hurdle will the upgrading the DI fuel injection or only upgrading the non-DI portion and programming it to work with the DI. Until fuel upgrade is dealt with any turbo charging would be limited by fuel available.

Have to see what the drivetrain can really handle too. Not much fun to have 350whp and blowing diffs, snapping axels and breaking transmissions.

fwiw: transmission/rear dif should be pretty stout (stay around awhile is read what is "known") they are already proven parts in other cars

The 2WD is also 300# heavier than the 86. Assuming it releases around 2700#. The guy is, I assume, going to run a gutted interior. So, we could estimate that his car will come in, at the very least, around 100# less. Have you ever driven a lighter car with power? I don't suspect that 295's will be too big for an 86 with that kind of power.

Of course, given that no one here has driven it, it's hard to say. You might be right.

ELWONO · 01-03-2012, 04:15 AM

Ichitaka, I will link you to my cardomain.com page when I have the car and keep up to date photos of the progress. As for the IC i don't want to give all of my ideas away just yet. It will take me several months to get the car done and I would hate for someone to beat to the punch on one of my ideas.

Crashoverride, If that size of tires fits under the stock fenders I may have to go bigger then the 295's just to fill up my wide body.
