K1100 16V Turbo build...now transmission build.

Look s perfectly fine to me (so much so mine might be off later for some attention). The bracket is for the damper only, it takes no weight of the car. Unless you bottom out your damper the max force on it is governed by the damper settings.

I've got Kad rear arms and disc set up but all the front is normal weight arms. 530kg still not alot of weight for the power you have :)

darn site less than my bloaty 620 kg matt .hopefully you should now at last be able to beat my 1/4 mile terminal speed
haha just realised you probably allready have lololol

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

mines 690 with no interior!

Well ive spent the last 6 weeks messing about with the wiring. After completely rewiring everything this is what ive ended up with...much neater than before, just needs to be wrapped now (but that'll wait until everything thoroughly tested!).







This is how the dash is looking now.





Ive measure up all the gearbox now, and the machining of the new layshaft bores will hopefully be done next week. Im in the process of trying to work out the best way to soften the sycro hub so I can machine the centre out...anyone have any ideas?

what i have done i the past matt ,is using a carbide tip ,get through the shoulder of where yoyur cuttnig ,then machine away by undercutting the hardened bit.

Hmm I tried turn down my input gear using a similar method and I just took the tip off the tool. This is what im trying to bore out, but with it having splines im worried that it would just smash the tool to pieces.



Ive thought about heating the centre using oxy acetylene and hopefully normalise it without disturbing the outer edge too much. Im planning on welding I pinion hub on the sycro hub for the reverse gear.

how much bigger does it need to get ?

It probably needs to be opened out about 6-7mm on the diameter, to that faint mark around the splines.

I seriously doubt it!

Any pics Paul? Or were they an exact copy of the original design?

Very similar, the pin was higher and more inboard. The rod was aluminium with a steel pin tapped into it

I seriously doubt it!

Cant you get that splined bit ground out, Matt ?.

For an interrupted cut, like an internal keyway or that gear with internal teeth, use a toolpost grinder on the lathe. Grinding wheel O.D. about 80% of that gear I.D., running about 30000 rpm.

shame you didnt live closer a could have gotten it wire eroded for you at work might be worth a look at local engineering shops either wire or spark eroded

love that straight cut scream!!!

Tadge44 - I could Dave but im trying to do it on the cheap. lol

I know a guy with a spark eroder and water jet cutter, do you think the water jet cutter would touch it?

grinding stone on a die grinder would do it matt.

Water jet should cut it not sure how acurite it would be though

If you want to soften the steel you will need to get it light orange to yellow in colour when viewed in natural diffused light (above 950ºc) and allow to cool slowly in air. Its unlikley this will leave the out part of the part with its original hardness even if you concentrated the heat in the centre. So you would need to re heat treat the assembled part after welding. Might be better to find away the machine in hardened condition

I realise I'm about 4 years too late with this post, but why did you abandon the ITBs and go for a single tb. Would itb's and a plenum not fit under the bonnet or was there another reason?

Cheers

James

Yeah it was simply because it wouldn't fit, and it was easier all round to fit a single TB, it would fit in a clubby easily enough though.

Matty how did u bend ur wiper rig, 10mm pipe bender?

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

Rich - nothing major. My bearings have arrived for my gearbox so i'll be boring the layshaft holes in the next week. Apart from that ive only managed to start lightening my seat subframes. Will get some pics up soon though.

Eden - i just did it by hand, it seemed the only way without kinking it. Lol
