I'm sure it'll hurt a lot of people's feelings, but until someone other than me starts funding my life and my car I'll continue to keep buying the parts that I can afford and that will get the job done, regardless of country of origin.

Check out the S480 clones on eBay too. I’ve been eyeing this one as an upgrade if I ever finish my current build. S400SX4 S480 80mm Billet Wheel T4 Twin Scroll 1.25 A/R Turbo 96/88mm Turbine | eBay

I wonder how big a difference a 1.25A/R would make.

Are you using a windage tray? Idk, maybe I’m way off but I’m thinking windage.

Yes, the most primary concern is crank windage. If the crank is whipping up the oil, it’ll aerate it and the pump will not be able to pump it.

I was able to build up to 50psi on a cheap harbor freight drill, IIRC. It did kill the drill though lol.

I think ARE used to make them as well.

I’m using a custom machined adapter and a Jeep 4L cam sensor for cam position on Holley EFI. I’m not sure if the power grid has the ability, but with just a crank sensor you should be able to run wasted spark.

I called JVX the other day to talk about the conversion kit. The gentleman there said the flexplate comes neutral balance but that they could do any balance that you wanted (ie. LA 360 or Magnum 360) for an additional $80. I forgot to ask about the converter snout adapter, I think there are two...

MENU Home Catalog Contact Info 35820 is the p/n for LA to 8HP flexplate.

If you look at the con rod bearings on a stock magnum, the top bearing will show the same wear. With the plenum leaks and stock tuning the magnums detonated all the time and I think that’s what we are seeing in those bearings. The cam bearings delaminate as well.

Just catching up with the thread. Excellent job on the chassis work!

Do it! JVX racing has conversion flexplates for both the LA and magnum.

Right now I’m leaning towards a Turbo Lamik TCU, initial cost outlay seems a little more than the other two I’ve researched but it has more of the features I'm looking for. It completely replaces the stock TCU in the trans and allows transbrake, bump, and even wiring in a "clutch" pedal to...

Yeah a little, it’s not uncharted territory though so I think I can get it done in a reasonable amount of time. When it came down to it, I really wasn’t happy with just three forward speeds as I want to be able to drive on the highway comfortably. I also want a transbrake. Everything I want is...
