    Wende XL Buggy Build

    Atlas came in earlier last week and I finally got a chance to swing by and pick it up. Promptly got it unboxed and stabbed into place. I mocked up the seats and mounts. 1st try was with 1.75 DOM tube, FAIL. I wasn't happy with the height. No pics because time and material wasted lol...

    Yes, I will be going with an external pump. I have Walbro 340 and E2000 on the shelf. Current rig is set up with an external pump well below the cell and never has caused any issues. I have a Jaz 8 gallon poly cell with a sump and plan to plumb/mount the filter/pump as far below the sump...

    Controls layout?

    That's great. I have the same steering wheel (in red flake). My plan is to get the Atlas mounted, then mock up the driver seat, and then on to the steering wheel/column/orbital location. I just want to make sure I have it in an optimum position for comfort and drivability sake.

    Controls layout?

    Just a quick question regarding steering wheel location, does the wheel usually line up around the front edge of the driver seat? I realize it depends on a few different parameters(body height, seat type, etc). I'm 6' 225. I will be using a 9 or 12" column with a steering wheel disconnect. Once...

    The GLFab Exhaust manifold came in last week. He really does a great job on these. Naturally I had to throw the Turbo on for good measure.. Pulsar 3071 Gen 2 - Seems these are the ones getting popular with the guys boosting 2/3RZs For the price I gave it a shot.. I found a Turbosmart...

    Every number I have seen is 360-400lbs fully dressed. If I had a scale, I could weigh mine when I pull it out to fully weld all the tabs and brackets on the front end.

    Should be at 86.8 crawl ratio in 1st gear. The Pulsar 3067 turbo should start spooling at 2K rpm from what I have researched. -Features: 8 Blade Gen2 Billet Compressor Wheel with Extended Tapered Tip Technology Inconel 713c 10 Blade Turbine Wheel Gen2 Cover Integrated with the Speed Sensor...

    Wende XL Buggy Build

    I finally got my A340/AW4 transmission back from the shop. I ended up getting it fully rebuilt along with a new Torque converter. I started the mock up process last night and am pretty happy where everything is positioned. I have about a 1.5" clearance to the bottom of the subframe and adequate...
