Transaxle Gearbox and mid engine In A Kitcar

[Guest tom-zero]

Could the a8 engine be substituted by the s8 engine ? I'm guessing similar Dimensions but with 520 bhp lol

is there a limit to bhp / ton? i mean if you put 300bhp in a 450kg car for example has that gone far beyond what you can actually use? I've read that ~220bhp is your max in a fwd car as you get wide torque steer. is there a limit on the rear?

I don't think there is a limit to the rear drive units. Just a limit as to what you can put up with in your trouser department.

Power correlates to something in your trousers eh..... First I've heard of it! If the chassis design and suspension is spot on it will put the power down and corner perfectly-this is a track hack so road settings are not applicable I suppose but light and nimble with good aero will always embarrass the brute power

I've found some donor vehicles for the project Richard

If too much power goes through the rear Axel it could snap 1/2shafs or twist the axel if not braced enough worst thing could twist the chassis , in my old rangy if I bliped the throttle it rocked the car

Hi Steamer. Just for you to ponder in your spare time. If you go onto eBay. Search by seller instead of item. Type in stevestrange007

He is a breaker of the more higher end type of car and I am sure you will find a transaxle and engine to suit your needs.

Hope this is useful to you.

Regards and merry Cristmas to you. Ken. W
