Turbo-400 Billet Tail-stock /w Integrated cross brace

[Racey]

We have been working on Retro fitting the Schiada SR-22 to a Turbo 400 transmission after having trouble keeping the Torque-Flite together. The Turbo 400 tail-stock leaves alot to be desired of in regards to attaching a cross brace, and more importantly a drive line guard flange. So we decided to all together eliminate the stock peice and machine our own from aluminum, this gives a much more positive and much stronger method for attaching our Telescoping driveline guard to. We also added an oil passage to externally lubricate the bronze bearing that the tailshaft is supported by (though it can't be seen in the pictures).

Being that I've never owned a Torque flight, or a Turbo 400 (other then the one that was in my caddy.. LOL)

Can you explain to me what's going on here? I see the original cast piece in the 1st picture. Are you replacing that with the 2 billet rounds, that are now sandwiching the mounting plate?

Exactly, this way the drive line guard flange and cross brace have full 6 bolt attachment to the transmission. Since the stock piece is designed to be used in a car it only has mounting for a cross brace along it's bottom which requires you to bolt your cross brace off a piece of angle hanging from the tail stock, and attach the drive-line guard to the cross brace, this just provides a cleaner and stronger setup.

Looking good! What are the 2 grooves in the OD of the part "aft" of the plate?

I'm guessing it's to make it look purdy

I was thinking they might have something to do with the driveline cover?

O-Rings so it wont vibrate?

Ding Ding Ding!!! we have a winner :cool:, damn dave i would have surely thought a machinist would have beat him to it :D:beer

Here is the alternative to the way we do it, this uses the stock peice, as you can see it doesn't provide quite as much 'meat' for the drive line guard attachment.

Racey, what's going on with the stringers towards the back of the tranny? It looks like the stringer dips down a bit, and then there is a very large L shaped bracket (black) that runs over the top of them and across the side of the stringer?

We cut the stringers down a couple inches where the motor mounts to keep the engine as low as possible, this gives us the ability to run a nearly flush hatch (Seen Here: http://raceyindustries.com/Projects/Schiada_SR22/images/large/Schiada_SR22_058.JPG )

The large L-Shaped bracket: this may be the aluminum floor board you are referring to, it simply fills in the space between inner and outer stringers at the point where in the inner stringer is cut down, this is there to make it easier to step around in the boat, and also on the drivers side the Trans/Engine Oil Cooler are mounted to this aluminum plate.

Racey, I think you should bring the 22 down to Parker so I can get a better look at it. It's going to take you too long to type out the answers to all these questions.. :D

What did the motor dyno at?

What did the motor dyno at?

Im not sure it's on the dyno yet. When I hear I will let you know.

It is the same as most of the motors Carson is building right now. They are set up for pump and av. On pump they are about 1250 and av about 1400.

I was talking to him about doing EFI on my motor next winter and he said if you build it to run exclusivly on race gas (110) he is seeing about 1680 with 20 lbs of boost.

It won't cost anymore to build so I say you can never have too much HP you just dont have to use it all. What's the old saying...Its better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

What gears are in the P.P.E? :D

I believe they are 50s I am not 100% as Peter wasn't sure. Carson will let me know.

[Racey]

Over 1400, and that is on Carson's Dyno which reads lower than most (or more accurate :D) before the turbo swap it made about 1290
