Resurrection of Billy's Gallardo **Build thread**
Thanks to Billy for choosing Underground Racing to help him out with this project. This project when completed will be a 100% Underground Racing build, as we are starting over from scratch. Thanks.

Interesting turn of events. Can't wait to see the car finished.

These are different heads from the original build that have been fully ported and polished with some upgraded valve train components that will be installed on Billy's engine.

Meanwhile the tranny is going together with our helix billet 1-6, billet input and output shafts and billet final drive gears. The Emco gears sets are exclusively sold through Underground Racing.

Here is a picture of the Helix Billet front and rear Quaife Differentials with their patented technology. This build for now will just be getting a rear billet differential. We worked with Quaife to come up with these custom spec differentials and Gallardo/R8 and all of Lamborghini differentials that are exclusively sold through Underground Racing.

Parts Porn :eek:
Not sure if this has previously been mentioned, but since John Reed is tuning the UGR/Motec setups I was wondering if Flex Fuel/E85 tuning is an option? I know VP Import/C16 is a more common "race fuel", but it's impossible to ignore the tuning benefits of ethanol-based fuels (cooler burn, more aggressive ignition timing, also usually provides slightly earlier turbo spool & higher TQ numbers, etc). |

Shawn Viper Flex Fuel Demo - YouTube I know VP Import/C16 is a more common "race fuel", but it's impossible to ignore the tuning benefits of ethanol-based fuels (cooler burn, more aggressive ignition timing, also usually provides slightly earlier turbo spool & higher TQ numbers, etc). We have done it using a flex fuel sensor. I dont like using that stuff.. |
The owner is gonna love it.I love my 2R. :)
