Search dtm cars. Eg audis or v8 supercars. Think most teams use electric racks now days.

Are you going with a Lexus lump, or something else? Thats the first thing to consider.

I'd expect the box/idler to be easier to accomodate than a rack.
Ls1 or similar.

Well, yes. It would be, as that's the original design.


...and yes it is just a rack. But for the sake of 3 inches width in the engine bay.



You'll note the title. "Fitting" a rack.  There is no, "not Fitting" a rack. Lets have a more positive approach aye?  >:(

Right sized rack will fit absolutely no problem ....  :)

(but you might find fitting the engine afterwards a tad trickier ....  )

Positive enough for you ...   ??? ??? ???  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Chill Pill ;)

Some threads are "I want to use Castrol Oil/Falken tyres". Note, NOT "I dont want to use Castrol Oil/Falken tyres". The whole point of an interactive forum is to gain/share ideas, either wacky, inspirational or just plain sensible. Live with it.  >:(


I was the GM Omega V8 (not the omegav8.com) a rack or box. I thought it was the latter.  I was thinking more along the lines of if GM have already done all the hard work, and pretty much proved it all worked well...   ...but what would they know ;)


Sorry if I misunderstood.

Opps. Guess I did read it right.

No point continuing discussion now, so locking.
