1 fast z Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Here is a vid we took after work. I dropped the car about 2900 RPM in first, ten nailed the throttle. Obviously first had no traction, then it hit the rev limitier (7300 RPM) pretty quickly, then I shifted into second, then hit the throttle again, then Second Gear had NO traction. That is with a 245/45/17 Brand new set of tires. This is at 10 PSI. Then I went to the end of the street then tried it again, then BAM, broken half shaft, AHHHHHHHHH. So that is my vid for the day. Just got my boost controller in today, so we will be pushing somewhere between 15-20 PSI on it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a Giken head, we have been following this guys crazy head construction for awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 That head is a one off piece constructed from a couple of KA24 heads with custom everything. That head is a beast and an incredible feat for any machinist. Beautiful work, I loved following along on this build and to now see it in action is just incredible.
