Introducing the latest project for Hawespower. the famous Supra gets the Agile performace treatment. Check out other videos on this project at Scott's channel, Gasketfuka • Massive pile of parts ...
i always said, what would make a supra better is a celica engine and all i got was boos. not the good kind. Thanks for proving me right. I can't wait to see it fly.
Awesome! Ive checked into a few of your videos over the years on the 5s beams celica and idk how I didn't know you owned Agile. Ive actually got one of your dodson motorsports front diffs going into my billet block st205 race car
@@hawes_power5590 Hahaha did ya tell them you think a pretty swell guy? Yeah stay tuned man! Not much on the channel about it yet, just waiting on a billet crank from the PSI racing in the USA and then the billet shortblock from DP in greece. Once Ive got that in hand ill make a video update on the progress and goodies ive got so far
If you're going full hog crazy custom, I have 2 massive suggestions for you. 1. You might as well go transaxle w/torque tube if youre aiming for mass centralization and rear weight bias. 2. Look into De-Dion suspension. Best of both worlds of a solid axle and independent rear. I reckon it'll be particularly potent if you do both, though you'll have to do the transaxle like a Corvette's (diff at the end instead of middle the transaxle) in order for the de-dion beam to clear without being wildly curved. Either way, I already love the idea of this build. 500hp is no joke, and to maximize a 4-cyl platform to do so is the REAL tuner's way!
A transaxle would be cool, but its outside the scope of this project! Haha i must admit that i really dont like the De-dion rear suspenson so that wont be happening. 500whp shouldnt be problem, my celica makes 460 with a smaller turbo and smaller cams
Citations needed. From what I've read the whole point of de-dion (properly implemented) is it allows the good geometry of solid axle with the low unsprung weight of IRS, as well as no torque twist on the chassis under acceleration.@@km6832
@@Drunken_Hamster you cant get any kind of camber curve or toe gain. basically just a solid rear axle without the unsprung weight. there is a reason no virtully no manufacture uses it anymore. i have driven a 300hp cataham with de doin and to be fair, it worked fine and the car was an animal. but not the ideal setup in my opinion
