Pics of TRZ rack from underneath please!
Anyone have a picture of the TRZ rack and pinion installed?

The only problem I may have with installing one, is the lack room due to my dry sump pump.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Chris,
I dont know if this is helpful or not? This is from my car prior to the motor going in. I can get some when I get home with the motor in if you need them. The rack can be installed higher than this (+1.5") if needed. Mine is installed the lowest possible. I can tell you that there is a bunch of room between it and my wet sump pan.

Hmm, I think there could be room for my app. I'll find a picture and post. My cross member is modified to fit the dry sump pan but for reference, the stock lower A-arm, where it bolts to the frame has been preserved on my ca.

Where'd you get that alternator pulley from?
Nice pics.

Louie, where did you get that alternator pulley? I assume the billet piece on the crank snout.

My alternator pulley is too small to drive my alternator. I need to rev my motor to 1800 rpms before it starts to charge.

The Alt. pulley is from Powermaster. The crank pulley is from Moroso. I did the math also but cant remember where I ended up at for charging RPM.

You are going to lose turning radius with the rack.
