8" Rim is correct.
I'm ordering 13"x8" bassett rims with a 3" backspace today.

Just got real when i pulled the tranny apart...


Going to re-seal the tranny and throw in a lsd block.

5.0Thunder

tranny is holding up?

piano55man

Installing a LSD block.
While it's all apart, going to put new seals in it.

5.0Thunder

but none of the gears are trashed and the case isn't split so that's good. hahah

piano55man

Their good for now....When i unleash all the horses with my slicks, i may be utilizing my spare tranny...lol

piano55man

New seals are in, waiting on input shaft bearing to come in next week.
LSD block should be in by early next week as well.

piano55man

LSD block for a d16 does not fit a d17 tranny....
I will be putting my lathe skills to the test this week cutting the differential gears down so everything will fit.

Man, nothing is ever easy with this 7gen...lol

Lookin good with the wheels setup.
It will be interesting to see if the LSD works with the machining you are doing with the differential gears.

piano55man

After cutting the inner large gears lip down the lsd block fits and is installed!

Winter mods almost completed....
New D series 70mm Throttle body coming in tomorrow.

That's fine by me.
The build is a turbo build but with an experimental ktuner ecu setup....which btw is working great!

Cool stuff going on here!!! Great job with everything and awesome 1/4 mile time!!

piano55man

Thanks!

I feel like my D17 is becoming a D16 with each and every mod.
So last night i cut off the throttle body flange of my D16y8 intake manifold and started porting the opening from the stock opening to 70mm.
I cut the flange off because it didn't look like there was enough material for a 70mm hole.

I made a replacement aluminum flange that will accept a 70mm D series TB...now i have to rewire the TB sensor to accept the old version.
I have a buddy who is going to tig weld everything back up. I'll post up pictures tomorrow.

piano55man

I cut that little tab off

Hand placement is about as close as it's gonna get. Time for the tig!

piano55man

Not enough space to tig the whole outside so we did the whole inside and about 1/2 of the outside.

Used jb weld for the outside and as it was drying, i sprinkled grindings on the jb weld. My theory is it will help strengthen the bond but also makes it look nicer...

mac25

Looking good man 😁.

ps: Don't worry about the cut lsd block, I cut mine with an angle grinder 2 years ago.

piano55man

Thanks!

looking good man! btw, my 2018 is now k-tuned pushing 21psi boost

piano55man

way cool!!!
The stock fuel pump and injectors handling that much boost or did you swap them out?

xRiCeBoYx

iTrader: (22)

Stock everything can handle it and KTuner included basemaps to adjust the wastegate for extra boost and fuel maps to accommodate.

sidenote: the tunerview app for smartphones is awesome (only $5) , assuming the KTuner board you have installed has bluetooth connectivity.
