First up, the transmission. My old faithful T5 dogbox was not going to handle the 4 rotors power potential, so a upgrade was needed. Using our nascar connections was the obvious choice This is a Mid-valley engineering 4-speed unit. I tore it apart to inspect it..... okay I tore it down because I wanted to see how badass it was! Gun-drilled high strength massive trans shafts. All needle bearing support, internal oil pump, ultra lightweight gears, reem polished. This thing is a work of art!

Here is the mostly real mockup 4-rotor attached to the 4-speed.



The chassis needed a nice overhaul before accepting the 4-rotor. After staring at it for many hours I had a vision of how to make it much easier and cleaner to work on. The engine bay and shock tower needed some modification to fit the variable intake as well. That will all make sense as we go along

She looks like a dirty POS. But give it a chance






Now I did it. Whole firewall gone. No going back now!

Beginning of the new cage/tube structure. This is a superior design in terms of chassis stiffness.







The "tripods" as I call it, fully in place.

All the sheet metal was bead rolled for strength

Bet you guys didnt think this was possible based off the beginning huh? I'm not a professional painter, but many guys who have stopped by think I am





This one goes to Matt, he came up with using a motor plate idea. I liked it, and started to fabricate using the dummy engine. This made the whole package so easy to install and remove





Now onto the 4-rotor! After all that is what everyone wants to see. 1st off the aluminum side housings. So light, so nice.





The ultra-light rotors



P-port all epoxy sealed
