VS calais

[ethann]

How'd you go fly wheel etc putting the t5 behind the ecotec?
I want 3.7s but not sure if I wanna justify big fuel economy lol.
Do you happen to know if theres much of a difference between 3.08 and 3.45?

 

[maldotcom2]

you can thank your 3.7's for that.

Yep. I believe that's why he asked the question.

As for the conversion, i used all the parts from a VR. Solid flywheel etc. 3.7's are fine unless you do a lot of highway driving which i do since i changed jobs. I changed my diff back to a standard one today. Personally i wouldnt pay to go from 3.08 to 3.45, but that's just me.

mmmmmmmmmmm so clean, what do your reckon itl pull on the dyno? do you know if the oil in the sump goes all the way to the top of the sump at the front of the engine there? just a question for my oil return on mi charger

 

[maldotcom2]

No idea what it'll get on the dyno. I'd be happy with anything over a 30% increase. I doubt the oil goes to the top, but don't quote me.
