Yep, that's right. But honestly, if it's holding 800lbft at half its normal operating voltage, you could probably rely on it to hold something a little more than that. There's a few things going on here and why I'm going down this path (again). We have blown up a few transfer cases at...

Diff coupler is a hot topic, but let's take a look at the system from transfer case to rear diff output first. We know the transfer case is all direct drive through gears. It's important to understand there's a gear ratio in the tcase, and that it's a 1:3 (2.93, actually) ratio of input to...

One of the most nebulous topics for the MS6 since it came out was how the AWD system worked. How it transfers power to the rear wheels, how much it can transfer, and when it transfers are mostly unknown to the masses. Let's try to clear some of that up, and let's do some testing to see how...

I think we have a winner - Walbro GSS342G3 if anyone wants to venture into this. I'll submerge this and test to make sure it doesn't pull air past the O-ring. If the other fittings get here this weekend, I'll plumb it and do some testing.

Alright, so plumbing this should be easy, amiright? Like most things, it's not. Here was my original concept. The Holley ITFP adapter (16-137) should have been the easy button. I would love to keep the ITFP because it simplifies the plumbing. Issues I have right now: 1) The Holley...

That's not its main functionality, but it does pull from its internal reservoir before it will suck air. The real benefit is that if any part of it is touching fuel, it will pull it in without sucking air from the exposed areas. I think this video shows it better than the first one:

Yeah, the foam is compatible with gas, ethanol, and methanol. I picked them up from Speedway Motors.

It's a problem with both the MS3 and MS6 - fuel starve under various conditions. If you have a high powered drag car, you'll suck the basket dry. If you have lots of lateral grip, you'll starve the basket if you're running low on fuel. Either way, fuel starve is a problem for many of us...

Yeah, I'd love to, and I mapped out a full SM build to see if it could be competitive. I think it could, but it's a ton of work and cost. It's above the spend:engineering ratio I want to be at LOL. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

What would I design if I got an exocet...I mean a true clean sheet design. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

I'm ready to move on, but it's not a next platform sort of thing. I want to experience a different challenge in designing my own car and aero from scratch in an unlimited class. The 6 is phenomenal, it's a riot to drive and it's extremely capable. I feel like I'm at a point where there's very...

That's the right one. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

1) nearly identical, but with a PTO. The transfer case input shaft splines directly to the diff case. 2) no, same area sharing fluid. The transfer case (not a diff) is a totally separate unit. 3) n/a 4) depends on how you drive it. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Wasn't planning on it for the engine. The rules severely limit the engine build stuff, so it's pretty boring. There's some other stuff that I'm planning that will be far more interesting. With a backup car, I should have a lot more time to work on the 6 and actually document stuff. The new...

Nah, but we did get a smaller car for it :) [The 6 is still here, just getting rebuilt a little differently after the latest engine failure.] Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

We just spent 8 nights in the hauler. 2 were in transit and 6 were on site. Everything performed really well. We have a few things to add for comfort, but it was soooooo nice to stay on site with ac AND be able to take hot showers. 2700 miles this trip! We picked up a 120V mini fridge, so...

Maiden voyage update. It's not 100%, but it's functioning. The aft freshwater tank has a bloating problem (lol). I'm going to add another horizontal brace before we secure the wall. Otherwise, the plumbing inside the trailer is all good! The instant hot water heater works well after...

Are the plugs wet or dry? Ballast on the frame horn plugged in? Not much to go on here. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk
