We will be there all week installing goodies and having fun
So just some quick minor upgrades today…..first day home to play for 3 days lol. So just some little things, valve stem caps, oil fill cap, brake reservoir caps, and hopefully some day the clutch cap. Why I haven’t found one yet is Dave@DDMWorks fault.
Then tomorrow will be the hood vent and cat delete pipe thanks to TheWickedReaper
Clutch cap - https://www.ddmworks.com/Clutc…ot-by-DDMWorks_p_936.html
We all thought you were in the shop 24/7/365 ...
I do have to go home and mow the lawn every once and awhile
Sorry, they were updating our server earlier, I was out of the shop last week working on another project, sorry I missed this.
.....WOW 54 minutes.... i would say i can jack it up and get a stock no mods engine out and clutch replaced and engine back in within a day unless my shepard requires some play time than 2 days.....but I agree it was easy with the right tools.....someone has asked me about changing their clutches out, I told him 500 to start 500 once I pull the engine and 500 once I'm done which I thought was fair so we will see......
FYI - We charge $1250 for a clutch install
Display MoreSo Dave....
Old buddy old pal......
If I buy the Wildwood front and rear setup.......
Would you install them for me at SSITS?.......
FO FWEE???............
(Hey.......did EJ win my Supercharger??)
Hey there, sorry for missing this before.
I am not sure what we charge for the install right off, I can check and let you know when they get back tomorrow. I know we have a lot of time already booked for Maggie with some turbo installs and LED's, but if we can get you in, would be happy to do the install.
Well yes I know you have to pull motor to get to the clutch. I want to see who has solved the issue of doing that because I just had to pay 3k to change the clutch which is just ridiculous because you have to pull the damn motor first. Why wouldn't you make a detachable crossmember brace that would let it just flop out the bottom?
Sorry you paid that much for the clutch swap labor. It really is not a hard job to do, especially on a stock slingshot without a turbo or supercharger. As to why Polaris didn't make it so the transmission could come out the bottom, I have no idea, I am guessing they also thought it was not a big deal to pull the engine. We obviously have done it a bunch here, but right now my personal record is 54 minutes from starting to jack the front of the Slingshot up to having the engine sitting on the ground. That entire job took less than 3 hours to do on a stock Slingshot, these really are the easiest vehicles we work on for this type of thing.
chavey2 - Thanks for the shoutout, always great when it is something simple Hopefully see you out at the Slingexperience!
Scanman - Welcome to the forum, lots of great people and information on here. Texas is a great state for the Slingshots, there are ton of them out there and great people also. There is a huge event in Houston coming up in April called the Slingexperience, I know you said it is kinda far, but lots of cool stuff to see there.
If you have any questions about the Slingshot, let us know and get out there and enjoy your ride!
As for the engine swap, it really is going to come down to what the engine makes for power naturally aspirated and price. If you go the route of swapping this into the Slingshot, custom engine mounts, radiator hoses, electrical connections/sensors, bellhousing adapter, exhaust, etc will have to be made for the swap to work. Lets say it does make 215HP naturally aspirated (base LS3 crate engine makes 430 so half of that), is the extra 40 horsepower over the stock 2.4L Ecotec worth all the trouble? I can not answer that for you, also without actually having real numbers from them yet it would be anyone's guess right now.
That 360hp is boosted, not naturally aspirated. I have only found one place that ever quoted a naturally aspirated horsepower number and it was 160HP. All of the press releases I have seen on that engine that quoted 360hp and 500 ft/lbs of torque was boosted.
"The engine is very much a concept at this stage with no running examples, but Blueprint say the LS-headed four pot should be good for 340hp and around 500 ft/lbs with the help of a turbo."
Leah welcome to the group, we are also in the upstate, just down the way from you in Piedmont, SC, if you have any questions or anything we can help you with, let us know!
Happy birthday Funinthesun!
Sorry, I was out last week and just catching up today.
The boost controller mounts in the engine bay, the instructions are posted on the webpage, but here is a direct link also -
Came across this over the weekend -

If you need a guinea pig or someone to test out instructions I will happy to be first in line to purchase the RGB and 8-channel controller!
I will definitely keep that in mind
We also have some LED items that will be debuting at the Slingexperience that I am really excited to show off, but you have to wait to see that. Of the RGB lights we are doing, my favorite is actually the clear, we call it the "bling string" it was just a strip we made to see something and it came out looking really cool, but you do see some of the inner workings so not for everyone.
