Is the lack of available low cost engines because everyone is still running 2008 engines ?

And other then the currently available "Car Specific" after-market parts what makes the next 2...

Haven't had much time to work on this as I had to work a project that required 7-12 hr days a week since last Aug. Just now have been able to come up for air and got a little cherished shop time to...

Would you know what mods it needs to run a dry sump

So far it doesn't look that bad to convert to a Dry Sump. Modify the water pump to have an external shaft and mount the scavenge pump on a belt...

Thanks for sharing the link with me

I was hoping to avoid the engineering and design time required to build up a Dry Sump system But as it is I might have to. Any good references out there ?

Tried contacting 2 people advertising Oil sumps for the GSXR 1000 without that good of results.

The Wet Sump wanted me to wait until he had enough orders to process a PO to a Machine shop to cut...

Thanks for the information guys.

I was a little confused about the width of the bearing since it appears the seat on the differential is only 15 mm wide. I have the Qualfi differential.

I found...

Trying to find a good source for the differential bearings and not having a lot of luck. Was looking at SKF W 61913-2Z or the Timken 9313K but so far my inquiries have gone unanswered.

Anyone have...

Welcome to the club my brother from another mother

Listen to the guys telling you to design from the tires in. Much more difficult to change things around once you are set on a chaise design.

Still haven't made any progress on the Hubs and spindles. Looking at the double row ball bearings and it seems they have increased the OD. to compensate for Nonaxial loading against the lack of...

I was leaning towards using spindles from a production car and making my own Al. hubs. Wouldn't have thought aluminum strong enough for spindles - but as I said I haven't seen any discussion on the...

what recommendations do we have for spindle and hub assemblies. Haven't seen any threads on this subject.

With the number of Solar Companies getting out of the business here on the Left Coast as the rebates expire these things are getting cheaper by the day

Had to make my own dies but I kinda like the one hand Push Button control and the High Torque DC Motor. That and between a protractor and level makes repeatability fairly easy

Thanks guys

I'm "Babysitting" the start up of a couple 100Meg Turbine/Generators for the next couple nights so I don't know how much I'll get done on my laptop. At 8 Gig memory its a little...

Yes JNovak

The chassis model is overly simplified to allow many rapid changes to find out what works and what don't. I now have to go back and include the Strong-Back and Differential housing to...

Can anyone tell me if I'm reading this right. I believe this satisfies the 1 Deg / 5000 ftlbs design spec. The upper portions of the main roll hoop move a bit but the lower rails of the chassis are...

Thanks for sharing that information from a well seasoned car builder

The roll Hoop "Brace" can be .065 chrome As per the GRC

That's what I'm working on now

I finished the changes to the chassis to include the required bracing. The changes were significant enough to re-analysis the chassis again too. I'm using 2500 lbs...

forward braces added tp the main hoop

Thanks for the replies guys

Correct me if I'm wrong but "the vertical members of the main hoop shall not be less than 15 inches apart (inside dimension) at their attachment to the chassis." are...

Thanks for the heads up.

Just how detailed would the engineering report have to be? I have access to several mechanical engineers who would be willing to help me out with that.

And Yes -...

Hi Everyone

And "Thanks for all the information". Been lurking here for months reading every thing many of you have been kind enough to share. Looking for help and opinions on a build prior to...

I have Lee Stohr's Cad Model off of Grab-Cad but it came in 1/14 scale. Can't seem to find a means to "Re-scale" an entire assembly in solidworks

am I missing some thing ?
