Donkey-MZR swapped NA
#41
Ok, not this picture.
Donkey is getting a new heart, this time with a custom intake and Goodwin's RoadsterSport Max Power 1.8" header
Header needed some modification to fit the NA
And the Raceline drysump from the previous motor that some were asking about

Stiffer, incorporates the differential mounts, more room for exhaust. We no longer use the PPF so the front mount for the differential is on the subframe as well. When V8R releases the subframe it will be available with the mounts for the differentials used in the LS and LFX swaps

EDIT: Did some thinking and realized that using the stock transmission would require some sort of chassis-to-transmission brace to be able to remove the PPF. I got excited, and now I'm sad.

Might be a stupid question, but the wording is confusing my dumb ***. Does this mean that the subframe will not be offered for the standard NA/NB differentials? Ditching the PPF and gaining some rigidity would be lovely, and I'm sure anyone swapping an engine with native passenger-side exhaust routing that is still planning on retaining the stock differential housing would rejoice (K series swappers).

I'll talk to Shandelle and see if there will be a version for the stock differential and maintaining the PPF.
This car being what it is, it no longer has a PPF, instead it has a transmission crossmember like we use in the V8 &V6 conversions. Next time it is on the lift, I'll get some pics of the entire bottom side

Full disclosure, UNK is Brian, who would be a v8 roadsters employee if he didn't already have a job with a pension. :P shandelle is v8roadsters. he's the one making all this cool stuff.

I was conversing with the guy who used to have the blue LS powered track NB who is now building a LFX car (can't remember his name) again at MATG this year and he mentioned a possible group buy to kick the rear subframe project into high gear and get them on the market. Any word on if/when that can/will happen?

Buttoning everything up and hope to be on the dyno this week.
As old as Donkey is, there was some flex in the firewall. Master cylinder brace gave us a solid pedal.
Front end is together. X-Lite upper and lower control arms, V8R Ohlins TTX, 11.75" Pro Series brakes, and our tubular subframe
Rear end is together. Tubular rear subframe, X-Lite upper control arms, Pro series lower control arms, V8R Ohlins TTX, 11.75" Pro series brakes
Excuse the exhuast, it one of the last pieces from the original build. It will be addressed soon to go along with Good-win's max power 1.8" header
