Falkerz 1 Posted March 25, 2014 I have a car planned with a potential engine design of a w20 engine and 4 turbo chargers. Is this feasible? Can you recommend a suitable material for the chassis and driveshaft? We've tried carbonised Steel, carbon fibre and titanium, and they've all exploded from the torque.

Yes, it is possible. Can you recommend a suitable material for the chassis and driveshaft? I would try aluminum and fibreglass if you haven't already.

Falkerz 1 Posted March 26, 2014 In what way is aluminium or fibreglass better than titanium? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendev 6 Posted March 26, 2014 In what way is aluminium or fibreglass better than titanium? If the Titanium explodes, there must be something wrong with your turbo's, like not correctly connected to other components etc... I assume its a 4WD and not FR or RR/MR. Most racecars have their crucial parts made of Titanium (with chrome), so youre gonna have to check that out whats causing the explosions.

Have you inspected your parts to see if they are working properly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkerz 1 Posted March 26, 2014 I think it's just the torque setup. I'll have to tweak the engine for a bit more speed rather than acceleration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ilovecars333 Posted March 26, 2014 In what way is aluminium or fibreglass better than titanium? Both are just other materials that you can use, however; aluminum is a lighter alternative for steel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Wat engine swap for 240sx since 2jz too mainstream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkerz 1 Posted July 4, 2014 We've ditched the W20 engine design. We discovered the fault was with the linkage between the dual gearbox design, and a single gearbox exploaded even faster. Too many angles for the mechanics to handle. Anyway, we're now experimenting with a hybrid ramjet fusion technology. It's slow progress but so far nobody has exploded too hard... On a more serious note though, what are the main mechanical aspects of a second hand car to investigate before committing to a purchase? I know things like Service History, rust, dents, leaks etc etc, but anything else? (ignoring the obvious clutch bite, engine note, cam belt, gear box, steering rack, ignition coil, water block / pump...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More affordable and way easier than 2jz, plus you know... still Nissan. Edited April 5, 2016 by Pvt_Braindead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
