good for Skip... bad for me

My open trailer is for sale too. Almost as little used as Skip/Calvin's a year or two newer.

Just curious, what kind of pricing does PuddyMud charge for a diff and what does it include?

So is the next major track day Hyperfest in June? I have my bar in now so I am ready!

Hey, I am getting ready to sign up for Hyperfest, however, I just had a couple questions.

1) Do I need a NASA license to run the HPDE 1?

2) Do I need to schedule an appointment with a physician and have him fill out the medical waiver to OK me?

Thanks,

Kevin

EDIT: I found the answer to #1...I just signed up for the event and got a NASA membership! I'm pretty excited!

You do not need a comp license to run HPDE.
You do not need a medical waiver.

This is a price list Ben Herne (s2kpuddydad) sent me about a month ago. I went with the Stage 1.5+ and 4.44 gearing. He's also freshening the OS Gikin limited slip diff for me. This is all going into an extra diff I bought from The Nick last month. George was kind enough to source the 4.44 gears from Mazdaspeed for me. I haven't run the gears or LSD yet so it should be a pretty nice upgrade when I get this diff installed.

-------------------------------------------------------------
This is some info on the rear builds I do, Stock build,
A Stage 1.5, 1.5+, 2, 3, and Stage 4

Stock build,
A clean reconditioned rear using stock OEM parts and a stock 4.10 gear ratio is $800


Stage 1.5

This is a rear that will have cryo treated hardware and gears. The rear will also have a Heavy Duty (not stock) crush sleeve.

The crush sleeve used in this rear is over 50 thousands heaver than a stock crush sleeve and will hold up much better than the stock unit.

Price for this build with a stock 4.10 ratio is $950

Stage 1.5+

Will have everything the 1.5 has plus cryo treated bearing caps and upgraded 10.9 Hardware.

Price for this build with a stock 4.10 ratio is $1,000


PuddyMod Stage 2 Differential for Honda S2000

This build is your best bang for the buck in a upgraded and enhanced diff.
This rear has a 100% none failure rate and is ideal for N/A and cars with forced induction up to 350 Horse Power.


PM Stage 2 rear build,
The rear is set up for N/A and low boosted cars.
It is rebuilt from the housing in starting with every rotating part being cryogenically thermo cycled, then new pinion bearings and seals are used to assemble. There is a one piece PuddyMod solid steel sleeve used instead of an OEM crush collar. The solid sleeve is made of 10/20 mandrel steel, it is seamless and will not compress under heavy stress like the OEM can. Solid sleeves are used in high performance racing rear ends because they work. The PM sleeve is a custom made part to fit this rear, it is a one piece steel sleeve. The stock hardware is replaced with new 10.9 hardware. Backlash is set at 2 to 3.5 thousands giving a tighter gear to gear fit.
Full Blueprint assembly of rear using precision accuracy to better than factory tolerances.

Price for the standard PM Stage 2 rear using a stock 4.10 ratio is $1,560

PM Stage 3

I finally got the S on a dyno. I took it out to RP Performance at Summit Point. Bret and I spent a little over an hour on the Dyno Dynamics dyno. We did 2 baseline runs with just the stock ecu and hit 184 horsepower. That was shockingly low but Bret says his dyno is typically 5 to 13% lower than a typical Dynojet. Keep in mind I'm running a stock motor, cold air intake, stock header, resonated test pipe and race muffler.

I then installed the Apexi fuel & vtec controller and left all the fuel settings at 0% but lowered the vtec point by 1200rpm. There was about a 7 hp drop in power when the vtec kicked in and the car was running lean pretty much from 4k up. I bumped the vtec point up 200rpm and that seemed to be a good vtec point because there was no hp drop and I got a nice boost in hp between the new and old vtec points.

I started adding fuel and made several more runs. I ended up going up to +9% fuel around 6500rpm and gradually dropping down to +1% at the rev limiter. I finished up with +9 hp and +6lbs of torque in the midrange and +7 hp and 5lbs at the limiter. I'm thinking that +9 hp will come in handy around summit point when the LSD actually puts all the power to the pavement.

That will be fun to watch.
