    Winter project...

    Very late reply to this, but regarding the dry sump: if you can get in touch with Ginetta Cars in the UK, they build a Typhoon powered GT4 car. I had one of their dry sump systems I was planning to put onto a RWD 3.5 EB, but decided it was not worth it. Bolts right up. They run it on a 400+...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    So, I truly finalized a couple things. Mainly the rotor spacing. It's a happy accident that the brackets were made with an additional 3mm, because it places the rotor about 5mm from the balljoint. That should be enough of an air gap to keep the heat away. Also, if someone wants to shield the...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    Quick update: I realized that spacing the bearing housing out will cause the ABS sensor to be too far away and likely cause a fault. I designed some rotor spacers that have the centering ring integrated, so likely have those made up as well. Also, went to test fit one if the 10 brackets and...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    I tried, but I already needed a 3mm spacer behind the bearing for the GT350 rotor and the PP rotors were another ~6mm deeper and I couldn’t justify that much of a spacer. The bearing ends up outside of the spindle at that point, so all the force is taken by the 4 bolts. Not ideal. Sent from...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    GT350 calipers and rotors. There are aftermarket 1 piece rotors if someone is trying to save a few bucks. I haven’t searched in a few months, I’ll look at where I got my parts. Calipers were under $200 a piece, rotors were around the same price, and pads are very inexpensive as well. Hoses are...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    Yeah, sorry. This isn’t my day job, unfortunately. I was excited when I saw the Rotora brakes until I saw the cost. Very reminiscent of KSport. Currently looking at completion and arriving to my house early next week. I’ll test fit on my bench with my test parts. Likely get the brakes on the...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    Piston count doesn’t really matter, only piston area. The Aero 6 offers a pretty much equal to stock 5.4” piston area while the 4 piston (both Aero and SL) offer a 4.8”. That 4.8” is around 10% smaller area than stock which will offer a firmer pedal, which is kinda needed on our cars especially...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    So they don’t sell these, ok. Only similarity is a 6 piston caliper. You can build this whole setup for about the cost of just the Wilwood caliper upgrade. 15.5” vs 13.8” You don’t like options and made an absolutely pointless post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    I have 10 sets being made right now, so about 2 weeks until they are in hand. I will be installing on my own car before I offer to the masses to ensure fitment and correct function.

    Raybestos Red Clutches are available

    That makes much more sense. Didn't really think about "give" between the front and rear and forgot most AWD have some sort of center differential. I'll keep an eye out if you have any offerings on those friction plates and rebuilding the viscous coupler. Appreciate the thorough response.

    Raybestos Red Clutches are available

    I think you're confused on what I'm saying: I don't want to change any gear ratios, I want to install a different differential assembly in the rear to remove the variable of power being reduced to the rear. The RDU, with the viscous coupler, will slip, no matter what. If a regular differential...

    Raybestos Red Clutches are available

    I worded that poorly. My definition of "fits" means fabrication to the subframe only: no interference with the body, suspension, etc. I've seen the upgrades that have been done to the RDU and PTU. I do plan to replace my PTU soon as I've neglected it and it's an early one, so not much to work...

    Raybestos Red Clutches are available

    What's outdated and how is it small minded? If I'm wrong on something, please correct me. I'm not going to argue with anything proven. I probably could have worded it better. You're trying to figure out what the limit is and the current limit seems to be clutch slip, so it makes sense to...

    4th Gen GT350 Front Brake Upgrade

    I've put out in the EB Performance forum and on the 2010+ SHO performance group on FB regarding upgrading the front brakes. I've finalized the design today and looking to start production. Looking at 25 sets initially unless a bunch of people want them...

    Raybestos Red Clutches are available

    Raybestos uses a known, good, friction material and excellent processes. The fact that they took their time releasing these to make sure they give the exact same attention to them should be mildly reassuring. I had 4 different orders cancelled, so it's been a small group effort on this. The...

    Raybestos Red Clutches are available

    So, Raybestos has actually done a run of the Clutches for the 6F55. Available at PATC: https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/6f55-stage-1-red-friction-clutch-pack-2013-on-rcps-56/ And yes, they shipped and arrived at my house last week and are in a box for that "rainy day". This is after the...

    New to this Forum, not to the EB SHO.

    Hello, Owned my 2011 since new. Active on the Ecoboost Performance Forum and now mostly on FB. I much prefer Forums, but hard to find time to update. Currently working on fitting Poly bushings from Siberian Bushings (durableparts.com) and tightening up the suspension. Re-working the springs...
