Roman Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hmmmmmmmm reading this makes me want to dig the yellow car out of the garage and take it for a spin. Words I never thought I'd ever utter, but the 3AU in the yellow car is actually really nice to drive. It possibly has the worlds smoothest T50 as well, because it's never had any power through it hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Kelly barr Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Don't get me wrong! 3A would have been a good motor in its day and it does the job, you're seen how it pulls for me. I just need a bit more of a kick. Maybe I've just been driving to many modern cars. Wishing I kept the 2ZZ I had as that would have been perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Kelly barr Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 PS we should fully have a drag race in our 3A carinas haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Haha yeah maybe oldschool drags this year?3AU showdown. I'll get an epic launch with the super boaty suspension. Could possibly even break traction. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Nice work on the gearboxes. You will have no problem drilling that hardened shaft. I ground a little notch in the surface then drilled that for easier starting when I did a similar thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah I'm super keen for that S15 6th gear!In my case drops 105kph cruising rpm from 3600rpm to 3150 and still keep nice final drive and other gear ratios as-is.

flyingbrick Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hey shouldnt that mold be two piece? Im sure ya have figured this out already haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkellybarr Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hey shouldnt that mold be two piece? Im sure ya have figured this out already haha Nah, just going to make it 2ply then crack it, leave it in and then add strength layers. Far more time effective and won't need to sand then polish the mould seam. The neck gets progressively smaller. For the silicone joiner I'll add a strip or two of carbon to the end on the outside, then sand and paint a layer of epoxy onto to smooth it out and make a good sealing surface. Same as I did for the fibre glass flanges I made for my aw11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't actually got started yet so I'm open to suggestions still. it seems as though their trigger wheels are designed to fit only their alloy crank pulleys, so I'd need to buy their setup im not looking to spend much, think I can get it sorted with an off the shelf trigger wheel, and make a spacer for less then $100 if I get their pulley/spacer/trigger wheel it'all probably run over +$200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Why don't people use bike sprockets as their trigger wheels? Some of the available wheels look juuuust like bike sprockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Sorry, I read that wrong and thought they were to suit standard pulleys. I read your question on their page, can you machine the front of the stock pulley flat to suit their trigger wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All said cause the teeth tapper to an almost point/curve their not ideal as hall sensors operate better and clearer with straight edges. i did wonder if you could get a moto sprocket and lathe the end of the teeth off to give a sparser edge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used any of em myself so learning. You could get one laser cut pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
