Stigmata Donating Members 235 Member For: 11y 10m 12d Gender: Male Posted 16/11/13 10:18 AM Author Share Posted 16/11/13 10:18 AM Hi everyone, well I got my tailshaft in and all the little bits done with a base tune. So I took it for a gentle spin, 80kmph slight shudder? 100kmph wasn't good at all. Was hoping to have it ready for the nationals next Saturday but I don't reckon its going to make it!!! I reckon it will shake the car to bits by the end of the quarter! Aaaaaaarrrgh. I kinda had that feeling the tailshaft balance bug would bite me....damn it!!! I wasn't going to replace the rear CV, but after hearing some horror stories of them self destructing I went for a yoke change and an 1150 uni on the rear. I spoke with my mate at Ford and we are going to try and do an on car balance job with the Ford tool (was WDS when I worked for them) and some weld on weights. Will see how we go, otherwise its back to the tailshaft mob with the said large tailshaft and a tub of Vaseline, actually I will skip on the Vaseline after this headache. Sorry for dragging out a simple build up people. On a side note the GTX76 feels just as responsive as the OEM 76 but I haven't buried the foot until its on the rollers and AFR's are good Will post some pics soon Kind regards Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRK Member 361 Member For: 12y 11m 12d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 16/11/13 11:58 PM Share Posted 16/11/13 11:58 PM The 3576r story is an interesting one. Can either of you tell me what size the wastegate is on that unit? As for the tailshaft............ the upgrades do not look to be as simple-a-job as it appears. Final Drive Engineering in WA told me they have done them but it was not a routine job to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stigmata Donating Members 235 Member For: 11y 10m 12d Gender: Male Posted 17/11/13 12:25 AM Author Share Posted 17/11/13 12:25 AM Hi Bud, I went for a Garret housing that had a bigger gate port over the Ford unit, we then ported it out to around 35mm from memory. There is around a 1.5-2mm seat for the flapper. Here is a pic of the said shaft. I am going to try and rotate it 180deg today and see if that changes anything slightly.As soon as its tuned I will post as much data as I can regarding the lil 76GTX. Just gota get this TS bug sortedKind regards Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
