Yowzer Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Lubrication issues, since the gears are now throwing the oil out the wrong way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Helical cut boxes will transfer load to the opposite end of the box, diffs will run pinions in reverse and hate every moment of it. Can a goldwing achieve torque values that reach this limit in a go cart? Worth a hoon 200%! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'll just mount a 20litre can of oil on the parcel shelf, run it into the top of the box and loop it back. Fill the box and let the thermal cycling take place for constantly immersed gears.... But yeah- I have looked into the design of this box, (actually bought a box well before getting the engine) and it seems overbuilt enough for this application. It's certainly going to be a good way to get the Barries hotly discussing it around their formica clad smoko room table as to why its all so wrong .... " its a Japanese engine in an English car! He needs to be shot! " 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KKtrips Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 That last pic of yours is pure sex Alex, I hope you are going to run a pair of 40 IDA triple throat Webers from an early 911 on the Goldwing motor. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers KK. I do actually have a little folder on my laptop dedicated to just pics of sexy looking 911 engines and I think I would probably be banished from Oldschool if I fit anything other than itbs. I'm definitely going to use efi though so sadly, some might say, it wont have the full on classic look of webers lined up. But I plan to try my best to have the engine 'classic' looking, in a 60's race car inspired sort of style . I won't have brightly coloured AN fittings and braided lines etc that for me often ruin a classic engine bay. Here's a neat vid of a cafe racer styled Goldwing, stripped down with 6 webers. Its pretty neat.... https://youtu.be/iuuiHgzlgp8 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Cheers fellas. Hey @avengertiger Dave! Are you still doing blasting with walnut shells? I was thinking that might be a good way to clean up the outside of the block/heads. Its a sort of silver paint finish that has corroded away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengertiger Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 morning not walnut shell no using crushed glass but the fine stuff is nice will leave a satin finish but not polished vapour blasting is a better again finish but expensive.And uses water.

yoeddynz Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 A nice satin finish is what I am after. I'll come visit soon for a cup of tea and a chinwag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yoeddynz Posted July 20, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 All in good time.. I have nice bit of 'project thread update buffering' built up. I going to eek the updates out so I don't use up my buffer much. This way I can fool everyone into thinking I'm out there working super hard on the project in the cold shed - when instead I'm actually cosied up inside next to the fireplace, with a fluffy cat, a cup of tea and reading other peoples build threads. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Plus I'm a fucking good looking bloke with with a full head of dashing (greyish) hair and a chiselled manly jawline. I'm also incredibly modest. But I've no time for doing youtube stuff. I entertained the idea and then looked into how much time might have to go into making something decent enough. I feel awkward in front of a camera and don't know that I have that sparkle. But mainly its a time thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
