You have more self control then me then, I'd be straight in with the planned 25psi you have been hinting at!


Haha 25psi was soo last year. :)

Ive been limited to 25psi by my map sensor, but ive just finished fitting a 400kpa sensor, so that should be problem solved. *happy*

If all goes well, and its still working next winter, I'll take it out for an inspection to see if everything looks ok.

i would hit it with everything my engine could muster at least then i would know its up to the job *happy*

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*

I got a call today to say my gearbox shaft is ready for collectiong...result! Finally I can make some more progress on this.

Wont be long matty before I'm up and running with the latest software. I'll let you know when I'm in a position to bring you up to date. LOADS of new features !! *happy*

Oh no not more features! I still haven't got my head around the last lot. lol

I went to collect the shaft today, and all it all measures up apart from the were no grooved machined for my circlips...so ive got to wait until Tuesday for them to post now!

Ive got my old bike shaft back and the centres between the shafts works out to be 64.74mm when they are tight together. Im tempted to work to the figure of 64.90mm to allow for backlash. Im guessing 0.15mm (6 thou) would be a good enough instead of working to 0.1mm (4 thou) backlash. Would I be right in thinking that a too smaller backlash clearance could result in oil starvation between the teeth?

My main concern is machining/measuring tolerances and I wouldn't want to end up with not enough clearance? *oh well*

Mini shaft centres 56.09mm
Bike shaft centres 64.90mm

Reverse gear location 64.12mm from base of box to top of shaft.

Distance from top of box to top of layshaft 163mm

Dia of shaft 24.98mm

Ive been having a look at the drop gear end, and I don't think its possible to ditch the idler gear now, as the spacing between the crank and input shaft for the gearbox is just too far apart and would still require to have some custom gears made up. *oh well*


Can you replace the drop gears with two sprockets & a chain? I'm sure I've seen it done on an A series.

Rob - I probably could, but im not sure I'd trust it tbh. At least with gears you know there is minimal backlash and no need to solve chain tensioning/stretch issues. Ive got images of a chain snagging as it comes in and out of tension between gear changes. *oh well*

i wondered if it got a small clearance , could the gears get hot ,swell up a bit ,and bind up !! your welcome to come and look at my gearss in the crankcase matt ,and measure the backlash etc .

I may well do that mate. There are a few other bits im unclear of that looking at a complete box would clear up.

Ive been doing some reading and it looks like part of the reason for backlash is to keep a good film of oil between the teeth, otherwise it would work much like a gearpump and squeeze the oil out from between them. It would more than likely end up in binding and seizure. *oh well*

Matty, the tight static clearance is to allow for the expansion of the alloy under use which results in the gear backlash growing, a higher static clearance will result in too large a lash under use.

John - Me and Robert had a measure up of the Honda box Robert had, and the backlash measured up to be 2 thou, but the tooth profile was ALOT smaller! I think I'll stick with 4 thou for the backlash in box though.

We also compared my gearset with a minispares SC layshaft, and the tooth profiles were very close, but the bike gearset has a larger tooth width at the base, so it should be stronger than a standard mini gearset. :)

We also had a good long discussion on machining bores in the box, and I have a plan now. Next job will be lots more measuring and then get the plates welded in ready for machining!

yup ,freezing cold 3 hours outside pondering matts box !!*wink*

lots of good brain storming ,although my capacity for doing numbers in my head dissapeared lol,lucky matt was awake .

the honda box has a much more sophisticated tooth ,with a curved face

eg..


also , i think they may have more engaged teeth as well ,compared to the mini straights ,they looked bloody strong to me .


dont forget the overall ratio calcs with those drops and first motion shaft gears matt !hopefully a diff change will sort it .

nice work guys - my measurement was to be fair applicable to my new gear train in the SC bi crank v8, the output shaft gear which meshes with the crank gears was designed by an ex Ricardo transmission designer of many years, I was lucky enough that he ran through all of the design process with me.

looking forward to seeing some bits in a case soon Matty!

Robert according to minispares:

Evolution set is a 20tooth 1st motion and 25 tooth laygear

3 sync set is 22 tooth 1st motion and 23 tooth laygear

So its either 0.8 or 0.95

My ratios would end up at:

..................... 3 sync ............. evo

1st : 2.847....... 2.705 ............ 2.278
2nd : 2.066 ......1.962 ............ 1.653
3rd : 1.578 .......1.499 ............ 1.262
4th : 1.291 .......1.226 ............ 1.033
5th : 1.111 .......1.055 ............ 0.888
6th : 0.965 .......0.917 ............ 0.772

So I reckon sticking with 1:1 work work out the best. *oh well*

Tell me about it. I went home on my lunch break to see if my shaft has arrived and still no sign of it! *angry*

Im sending the box off for welding next week.

Do you know of anywhere that has a list sizes of automotive bearings available? Im struggling to find some the right size and spec, and machining work will be on hold until I know what bearings im using. *oh well*

oh good thats a relief ,a 0.9 would be nice ,same 1st as a clubman and a higher top ? mayhelp to give more clearance in the quad gear area !

Im running a 3.1:1 diff so I could always go to 3.2 or 2.95 to fine tune the overall ratios? I was thinking along the lines that a lower first gear would help reduce wheel spin as its not requiring as much torque to turn it from the engine?

yes id agree matt ,but a bit of lee way cog size wise may come in handy ,when trying to miss everything in the end case ?

An involute gear. Jack knight have dog gear sets cut in this configeration. Stronger then conventional gears certainly. Due to the rolling contact patch mostly.

and the next tooth is begining to mesh as the previous tip wants to take all the force
have seen what the change in tooth shape does in well abused Ford Differentials [ planet gears]
the earlier , straighter design teeth , tend to dig into the gear root of the other gear [star gear] causing stress points and catastrophic failure !
