Tech Spam thread - because 1/4" BSP gets 5 hand spans to the jiggawatt
mjrstar replied to Roman's topic in Tech Talk
Could plumb back a bov post air flow meter? That what I have on my air flow metered turbo. That way no idle issues if there is a slight leak across the seat under vacuum. -

Yes. Generally standard petrol turbos in both auto and manual will have a bov. Edit - beaten by the man with an au profile pic -
Not exactly sure on ratio but 4wd libero rear diff may be easy enough to get hold of. Will be 4x114 though.

Mine is front sump, i run a large filter and the sump has a small wing to increase capacity. Its around 5.2 litres, it has seen a bunch of track work and is still alive.

Airbox lid.. in the post below for some reason. Does anyone have a good adhesive to gluing stuff to the carbon.. like mounting tabs etc.. -

Headlight blanks in and made a lid for my air box. The air box was 3 layers of carbon laid onto a thin sheet of aluminium with 2 quick coats of wax. It was a little over rolled / short on resin. I wonder if a little more cure time in the pot would have stopped the resin extruding. -

I would leave it as is. The warm-up cycle of the trans fluid from cold will probably be more effective. Remember the radiator connections are a heat exchanger rather than a pure oil cooler, so you will probably maintain better minimum temp in cold conditions. -
Part number on the dipstick is 15301-88300 - best to do your own research on the p/n but photo attached showing length. This is in my 1ggte starlet

Disengament point can be a little tricky to get spot on... you can remedy by choosing a different slave/ master combo, or in my case I just made adjustable pedal stops for the civic as the new clutch needed much less total travel. Works mint and will change gear as fast as I can even at 8500 rpm.
-
I have been down the concentric slave rabbit hole in the mx5 with its unconventional clutch setup - mitsubishi engine, GTR clutch and flywheel, corolla ring gear and 370z gearbox. This is a mission, even more so when the gearbox doesn't have a removable bell housing. Would not trade again.
-
Keep in mind you won't need to space the pivot out the whole 10mm due to the lever ratio. You may only need 3 or 4mm. Measure a reference on the lever / gearbox housing and Mark it, also Mark the max retracted point on the slave cylinder these 2 marks give you the window you need to space it to.
-
The correct way to do this is to space the pivot out toward the flywheel. Lengthening the rod is going to put the release fork on a gross angle and most likely affect the pedal engagement window. I had to do this when i put the chromoly flywheel into my hillclimb civic.

Not sure if I should get some epoxy or try to rangi up a vacuum system or just carry on as I am.. Did some reading about prepreg but seems like the cost skyrockets / is not really novice spec. -

Sanded and polished, finish is a little better but not amazing, the voids are flat now but did leave a visible bubble under the surface for some reason. I think could in part be the difference between cheap polyester resin which is not doing a great job of self levelling when compared to proper epoxy, and leaves a slightly dull finish. Did at least get rid of the pva streaks. Went from 600 wet sanding to polish because I didn't have any 1200. If it turns to crap down the track I will spray on some 2 pot clear.
