Countach / new countach build on Youtube
« Last post by opnwide on February 13, 2025, 07:11:15 PM »
I just bought this hurricane damaged Prova countach, and will be rebuilding it on Youtube.   I can't believe I finally have my dream car in the garage.   I know you should never meet your heroes, but It should be a lot of fun.
Here is the Youtube link

Engine & Transmission / Re: LZ9 engine swap help
« Last post by ★ Murcie-Me ★ on February 12, 2025, 03:41:56 PM »
My new (used) 4T60 transmission arrived today! I've never seen one in person out of a car, I'm surprised how small (but heavy) they are! I gave it a quick cleaning with my pressure washer, I'll have to get some good degreaser and aluminum brightener to get it sparkling though.
I didn't realize that the trans takes two different types of tripots, a male ended one that inserts on the passenger side of the trans, and a female ended one that fits in the driver's side. I still need to take a few measurements of the TH125 that's in my car now and compare it to the 4T60 to see if I can use my same axles.
My engine is scheduled to arrive some time Monday the 17th, and my new camshaft and timing set should arrive a few days later.

Hey guys! Started my 2nd Aventador build using a factory monocoque from a 2018 Aventador SV and as the title says, swapping a Tesla drivetrain in it! I will be documenting all of my build on YouTube and on occasion here! Like and sub for the latest content!

This is awesome! ::headbang

Glad to see you're still at it. The 3900 is a great engine! Probably the best modern swap out there for anything Fiero

Thanks buddy! I'm glad to see you're still around here!
I've been doing a lot of researching, studying, and even taking some online classes about sound dynamics. For many many years people have been trying to get their builds to sound like a Lamborghini, even with engine swaps, 180 degree headers and so on. I have heard many people on these forums say its impossible because of "dual plane VS. flat plane" engines, lower reciprocating mass, shorter stroke, valve size and so on.
I have said all along it has very little to do with the engine, and everything to do with manipulating and multiplying the sound pulses, eliminating some and amplifying others.
I have chose this engine because I believe it will be the easiest to accomplish a high "F1" exhaust note from. Although the sound can be replicated by any engine (4 cylinder minimum), this engine will do it easily/cheaply and also yield more H.P. than most other 6 cylinder swap options.
You're gonna have to come out and do another video when its done lol!

I'm guessing a good chance of an aftermarket, or at least different ECU since it's a 3.8 SC motor.

I know that Dario had electric assist. My problem is I had already had most of the pieces in place. If I had it to do over again, I would look at other options. Having to convert Corvette to narrower belt setup to fit in engine bay was costly.

Did you ever consider installing electric power assist instead of hydraulic power steering? I installed the Prius electric assist in my build, total cost was about $60 and a 4 hour install.
