Yup, a spare tranny and rear end for when I get a little too crazy with the launching :)

Ill get some video up sometime soon. Dont expect much, the stock clutch isnt holding up well to the boost.

Haha that's awesome. I usually keep a few quarts of oil in my trunk just incase, but you keep a tranny in your backseat just incase lol. Hey, all you HMT people we should get a fundraiser going so Dave can get a better clutch in that thing! Or maybe somebody would like to donate one? :)

Like how you did the external wastegate. THat's freakin genius.

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

Sweet :D

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

I got one of those for a beater (1.5 auto). Ive been thinking about doing a little turbo setup for it.

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

that wastegate is the best thing i've ever seen done with an hf manifold ;D

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

is it touching that radiator hose?

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

Haha, I love the Wago-van! Good luck with it man.

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

how does it launch?

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

would it be possible to get more pics of the tranny/xfer case and rear diff?? I've NEVER seen one up close before.

DEEEZERTY

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

Hows that external wastegate on that std manifold?

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

that ---- is soo dope....haha total sleeper. imagine being at a light and it pulls up. and he launches on you. and you see a wagon pull on you. that would be the funniest thing in the world. although i wouldnt tell anyone. hahaha...is that an audi wastegate??

Re:The Wago-Van lives <<pics>>
 

I got $5 bucks for any sideways action across my neighbors front lawn. ;D

Yup, thats an Audi gate. It looks close to the upper hose, but its ok. Had to trim some of the fan though.
I wish I could say that it launches like a mother, but the clutch just wont take it. It does however launch very nasty in the SL gear, but its incredibly short, and I cant bang 2nd from that gear.
Ill put some pics up later of my old 'Madd Max' FMIC. Black and tucked away behind the grill :)

Steve (88dx) did all the welding and it looks purdy. Ill throw up some pics of the DP, its flawless.

Took the HF mani to a welder. He hogged the O2 hole and welded on that 90' bend. Fabbed up a flange and bolted it to the WG. Its not braced yet (the gate must weigh like 10lbs lol), but will be shortly.
From what I understand, there is a a special kind of rod that can be used when welding to cast. It looks VERY solid, w/ good penetration.

You bet. Im cracking the case open sometime soon. Wanna see what needs to be done to get a solid 50/50 split.
