Love it! Some lovely looking welds on your cage. Can you ask your welder what filler rods he used please? Looks like stainless steel it's that clean! Is the cage moly or cds? Keep up the good work - cant wait to see it in the flesh ;)

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on November 30, 2011, 23:06:41 pm 312 is a grade of stainless steel. I did not know you could use that on moly. Every day's a school day! ;)

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Peter on December 01, 2011, 12:04:18 pm Hey Andy,
why did you use the red 9 front end? For a drag car it seems unnecessary and heavy? Or will you do track days as well? :) Cheers, Peter Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 01, 2011, 12:35:22 pm Hey Andy, why did you use the red 9 front end? For a drag car it seems unnecessary and heavy? Or will you do track days as well? :) Cheers, Peter Hi Peter i was going to use on the track but I've built now for drag only. The use of the red9 front end was so i had the possibility of being able to adjust the front end if i needed to, regarding the weight of the front end it not much different to a stock beam with drums on but i may be proved wrong on that point lol cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 06, 2011, 19:37:17 pm so with drag so close 4 months away lol i thought i better get on the some more wiring, its all going on an slimuium plate made out of the car so it should be plug and play
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/8c0ad056.jpg) more wires (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/310208ff.jpg) cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on December 06, 2011, 20:44:32 pm Have you got any pix of your Red 9 front end fitted? Cheers 8)

Michael I'm trying lol I've spent nearly a whole day to get this far all cables are in and tested I have a few left to make off but need the sensors for that fuel and oil pressure. Big mile stone tonight powered it all up and all reading and working fine I even got the CanBus to work on the dash2 (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/c7c3db7d.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/21386a81.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/22812185.jpg) I've just got to configure the dash2 to read what I want it to and get down to sorting out a start map for the S60 Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 13, 2011, 18:47:48 pm I'm wiring the NOS tonight ready to go in bit more mechanical work done today

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/2c28b19f.jpg) also as ive added the dash2 ive found that race technology do an in car camera syetem that put the data from the ECU on the video so you can see were your mistakes are and what the cars doing after a run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O39VW0D6SxA its mostly for circuit cars but i think it will be good for drag use as you have such a sort amount of time to see whats going on cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on December 22, 2011, 20:25:02 pm Some fantastic fabrication going on there! It just seems to get better and better! Quick question: your chargecooler looks like it is ice fed from the top and doesn't run a circulation pump. If so, are you not worried about boundary layer heat formation? Do you have some cunning plans to avoid this scenario that I haven't yet spotted? Looking so trick mate, I love it already 8)

Do you know how much torq it can handle? Michael Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 24, 2011, 19:01:30 pm That looks sturdy enough ;D Do you know how much torq it can handle? Michael I'm not sure lets hope it's less than the motor makes lol Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on December 24, 2011, 20:28:51 pm Looks cool, but not sure those shafts look like they can handle 500 bhp. What size are the four bolts that connect to your adapters? Hopefully they are at least M10? Not trying to diss your project as I think it's ace, but you don't want to snap a drive shaft at speed! The wall would beckon! :o

The wall would beckon! :o I get what your saying I did think of this but I'm sure they,jgfye will be ok, my cousin races comp safari land rovers with range rover props. I have used the standard bolt holes that are 8mm so it's m8 with 4 high tensile m8s, you've put doubt in my mind know lol I can soon make m10 Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on December 25, 2011, 14:55:58 pm There is absolutely no way 400 - 500 hp and slicks is going to transmit thru 4x M8 bolts. I reckon the first time you 'hook up' properly you will snap those bolts like twigs. I doubt 4x M10 would survive for too long either. 930 Cvs run 6x M10 and are considered to be safe for 500+ ponies. I really don't want to cast doubt, but from an engineering perspective you have a weak link with potential to ruin an amazing car. Go for 'belts'n'braces' amigo - you don't want a weak link issue messing with your psyche!
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 25, 2011, 18:16:27 pm I did have some shafts made 930 cvs one end and bus the other but I was worried about the bus CVs there's enough room on the RR drive shafts for me to make m10 and also 2 10mm dowls , what CVs are others running?
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on December 25, 2011, 20:02:23 pm Most big turbo cars favour 930 Cvs on both ends. You can buy 930 stub axles that fit straight on to TyPe one a-arms. They are cro-mo and very reasonably priced. Drive shafts can be bought in most lengths with 930 splines on either end. The dune buggy guys run them in the US all the time. Do an Internet search and you will find two or three suppliers stateside that will list everything you need. Can't remember exactly where mine came from as it has been a while. If you get stuck, I am pretty sure I have a spare pair of axles kicking around the workshop.
It might be worth trying your RR approach, but I would seriously look into the engineering aspect as there is a rediculous amount of force going thru those bolts. Plenty of type one six M8 bolt setups shear with only moderate hp, so it's a foregone conclusion that your setup will fail unless you radically beef up the bolted side of things. M10 and two M10 dowels may well work, but then a 930 Cv is going to be stronger in the long run. Hope this info helps dude. Matt Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 25, 2011, 21:07:54 pm thanks for the reply matt i found the stubb axles on the samba at first i was using 944 alloy arms so had to stick with the smaller cv, i didnt think you could get the 930 stub axles but i think that may be the way forward if the stubs are any good
cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 27, 2011, 18:18:29 pm Thought I would add a few pics of the G50 going in

My heater is on for about an hour to get the oil hot enough and boil the fuel out of it,will the glow plugs be ok for that long? and what temp do they reach?

Is it to get the oil up to temperature without having to start the car and get heat into the heads, or to boil methanol out of the oil like Mike Lawless does? I thought the old car was on E85 and presumed the new one would be too. I didn't think there would be oil contamination issues like with methanol. Also, would you fit it into a regular deep sump or is the new car dry sumped like Andy is doing? I've not seen the new car in the flesh so I'm intrigued by it. Mine won't be anywhere near as wild but it's nice to see the reasoning behind these little things! Andy, sorry for the hijack!

Yep dry sump,but I will fit one to the regular wet sump on ther old car,both cars on methanol now,I use the heater to boil out the water & fuel from the oil overnight or in the morning,then I regularly switch it on to pre heat the oil before a run.I still used to see contamination with E85,just not as quickly Mikes car is wet sump still as well cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 02, 2012, 19:43:11 pm Rear stays are in for the seats just need tugging in now

new tool arrived so had to have a play with that lol (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/21b84282.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/3d36a3b9.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/f520c75c.jpg) this as as far as ive got with the A arms until the 6mm plate comes (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/57ae215d.jpg) cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on February 14, 2012, 19:17:58 pm Andy,
can you tell me why they did the harness bar with a big arc in it,then had to make the seat supports long to reach,is there something I am failing to see that you needed the bar bent that way?it just looks like a straight bar would have saved some time and effort,and also weight? The IRS arms interest me,is that hub alluminium? its hard to tell in that picture,how long are you making the arms? cheers Richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 14, 2012, 20:08:32 pm Hi that bar was going to be the main hoop but on one of the bends the molly cracked as we bent it a bit too tight so we used it as the seat bar I did think the seat would end up a bit further back as well , I couldn't put a straight bar in anyway as I wouldn't fit in the seat if I did, I can't get in dannyboys car as his seat bar is straight that's the trouble being 6'4" lol the a arms will work out standard length and the bearing hubs are aluminium
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: dannyboy on February 14, 2012, 20:10:38 pm you do look silly when sitting in my car ;D :D

cheers Richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 14, 2012, 21:13:18 pm Hi I have got some narrowed IRS arms but the car seams to sit too high with no camber, my thinking is if I make arms with 0 camber I can set the height of the front and rear without worrying about camber change as who knows how many tweaks I've got to do on the chassis to get the car right hope that make sense tell me if I'm being stupid ? Plus I like making things lol
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Lids on February 14, 2012, 21:50:19 pm I still think you're too close to the steering wheel in that pic. Ouch when your knees hit that bar!

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/237dcb73.jpg) Got my pencil out to design the brakets I have moved to 22 mm hole as it was going to be too close when I welded the brackets on ::) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/ed91f15c.jpg) Started cutting out (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/1e68a526.jpg) And then had to try one of the new wheels on :) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/622c740c.jpg) And that was about it today but I have changed my mind yet again I'm completely changing the motor now to a 4" oxyboxer as after a few discussions my T1 block is just not going to take it :o so here we go again lol Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on March 07, 2012, 19:00:12 pm Andy
i was thinking before you need to get those A arms mounted before paint but didnt want to interfere :o So why do you think your type 1 wont be enough,there are examples making over 700hp still with comp elim heads and flat tappet cam,my turd in the old cab makes enough power to go 8s,its just the driver that isnt up to it yet :D what advantages do you see with the 4inch oxyboxer? cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on March 07, 2012, 19:26:29 pm Hi riche interfere when ever you like that's why I post to get others opinions :),I know a bit about engines a very small bit lol ( I'm a sparky) the main reason is I started building this a few years back planning on 300 bhp as you can see its gone a bit mad since. I was always worried about over 400 bhp on an 8 dowel. I have been told that will be fine if i wedgemate it but in my silly brain I can't get the idea of the the flywheel coming off. The advantages I can see is smaller crank and stronger case. I may be a bit of a fool but I do like like making things work and trying things. I think my main problem is I did my apprenticeship at BR and they overengineer everything lol
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on March 07, 2012, 20:24:47 pm I am with you on trying things and making them work,I just like to actually drive it to see if it does before I change my mind again ;D
Yes there are limitations to 8 dowell only cranks,I went that way when it was a nitrous car,I wegemated it when I 1st went turbo,that was about 9 years ago I think,that engine still lives today with the same crank/flywheel and its still on standard size,its had 2 other owners since though. Mine was still 8 dowelled with wedgemate when it ran the 9.23@152 so it is plenty strong. The 4inch bore area does give more power potential that 94mm bore,i dont see why you would go smaller on the crank though? the main 2 problems with the 4inch stuff is cost,and availability,its hard enough getting quality parts for 94 bore in a reasonable time scale,4inch seems to take years longer,anyway enough of my ramblings,keep on progressing forward :) cheers richie BR? british rail? if so that explains why nothing ever gets finished :D Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: dannyboy on March 07, 2012, 20:40:38 pm BR? british rail? if so that explains why nothing ever gets finished :D [/quote] dont say that he is going to be doing some work on my car tomorrow :o ;D Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on March 07, 2012, 20:58:43 pm You pair of wankxxs l :D I do finish things I've got two kids :D the wife may have another view mind

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: BeetleBug on March 08, 2012, 07:53:01 am With what we know today about clutches the 8 dowels are not a problem. 400 - 500 - 750 hp... I dont think it even matter but hit it with 150hp, a stage 4 and a angry disc and you can easily snap it off. There is a thread here on The Lounge where you can find the calculations on what a dowel/original style crank can take.
Not sure why I wrote this since you have anyway decided to build a new engine and go the WBX route that is so popular today. I think I even spotted one for sale on TheSamba where they called it Type 5 - Oxy :) Keep feeding us with pictures and comments, it is one of my favourite threads here.

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on March 08, 2012, 22:16:18 pm Andy... I don't want to chuck a spanner into your works, but you have asked for input, so I will give you some based on my own experience. Your coilover mounts are way too weedy. By the looks of it, they are 2mm wall section mild still box tubing? On my car I managed to bend 4mm cro-mo brackets, so had to beef right up to 6mm thick lowers and 8mm uppers.
You will need springs somewhere in the region of 600-850lbs looking at the pivot points of your mounts and guessing your car's weight. This is obviously a guess, but that translates to a whole load of energy being transferred to that single bracket on launch. If there's one area you need to BR (over-engineer) it's these mounts. Trust me ;) I would also make a lower mount that spreads the energy over at least two of your a-arm tubes, not one as you have it at the mo. Go for good surface area, and you won't bust it :o Regards, Keeno Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on March 08, 2012, 22:39:56 pm Andy...

how do you mount the bracket of the chute to the car? cheers, basti Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 02, 2012, 17:41:14 pm hi Andy! how do you mount the bracket of the chute to the car? cheers, basti hi there are tubes welded to the gearbox mount and you use four pins to secure I hope that makes sense :) this afternoon i set to it again and cut off the suspension mounts i needed to move (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/572a5d3d.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/f426e875.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/dbb6eb0d.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/e48e4000.jpg) just a few gussets to fit and weld in place onec ive put the car back on the floor cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on April 02, 2012, 19:36:00 pm Andy, I could be wrong here as not 100% sure from the pictures but, did you narrow it inches to then put a 5inch wheel spacer to take it to exactly where you started from? I am puzzled about what you are trying to achieve here? what did I miss? ??? ;D
cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 02, 2012, 19:59:17 pm Hi Richie the rear is narrowed by 2" so i can fit the coilovers in I cant go more due to the way the cage is and also so i can fit the drive shafts in they arnt going to be very long as it is which isnt the best. I've use the 65mm spacers for mocking up I'm not planing on using them, I've got to build the rear wheels up to get the offset correct Ive fitted wider wings as well, the reason I made the arms is so I can tweak ride height etc without camber change hope that makes sense

well done for keeping at it and getting it done :) Must be a good feeling to have done it yourself & for it to work Does it change the camber much through the range of movement? and will you keep the limit straps? and what spring rate will you start with? with the shock angled over like that it will need to be quite hard cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 03, 2012, 20:16:23 pm Hi
Im happy with what ive done i would change a few things if i did it again, The camber stays the same no change, as for the limit straps that depends on if I can decide if it's a good idea or not lol. The springs are 500lb the shock is in place to follow the radius of the arm so I think it maybe ok but I'm a sparky not an engineer so I'm sure I will find out Thanks for the comments :) Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on April 03, 2012, 20:22:53 pm Hi i would change a few things if i did it again Cheers andy No dont even think about it >:( :D Thats really good that theres no camber change,I dont know about the shock angle for sure,it seems that for say 3 inches of suspension travel when the shock is leaned over,you dont get the same movement at the shock so the effective spring rate is reduced,if it is straight up then you get a true relation of movement to spring rate.There is not enough info available to say which route is the best to take,it all can work with the right setting up Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: james wotton on April 03, 2012, 20:24:37 pm keep at it andy, just start going forward and not 1 back 2 forward :P.

Keep up the good work. 8)
I think you will find that 500 lb springs will be way too soft given the orientation and angle of your coilovers. Mine are in a very similar place and are slightly canted also. I started out with 550s and worked my up to 850s. I think I might even need heavier... Take it easy 8) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 05, 2012, 16:27:57 pm Nice to meet you at the weekend Andy.

I had a 4 speed 915 vertigate... Nope I did not build it but bought it from Claes Ebbenäs (RIP) who built it in 1980. It then had a billet spool, billet side cover (with bronze side flex support) and best of all, liberty pro gears gears. It was never raced by me, prior to selling it again. I wonder were it is? Typically only a drag race box and shouls still be alive somwhere. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 02, 2012, 16:09:54 pm Thats is beautiful! Congratulations!

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/0448b89f.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/1a597b3e.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/b4992cf8.jpg) i had to cut the tunnel to get to the shift rods but i will renforce that once done.

i had to make some bosses (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/7728d1ae.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/d583bf3d.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/95319088.jpg) them made the rear gearbox mounts (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/448e5d4b.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/488f9a55.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/7c044a86.jpg) im still not sure if i will also secure the top of the box cant decide if i may need to or not ? cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Jon on May 18, 2012, 07:07:40 am Amazing job, but I do believe you would get better results with straight shift rods. And without the guides you have on them, I think you will get bending there as the shifter moves in slight arcs.
Anyway keep the pictures coming! :) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 19, 2012, 07:48:23 am Amazing job, but I do believe you would get better results with straight shift rods. And without the guides you have on them, I think you will get bending there as the shifter moves in slight arcs. Anyway keep the pictures coming! :) I agree but the way the shifter and box are I can't :( Bit more done I've removed the rose joints and made some acetal bearings (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/1a368f83.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/f2a9c245.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/2b89308f.jpg) My next issue is I wanted to get rid of as many bends as possible as the shifter and rods are on opposite sides of the car so I've started making a tri-axle bearing ( if that's the right word) that will have a sort lever on each end. That will mount in side the tunnel to keep the rods straight (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/24a1d276.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/1d4f582c.jpg) Long way to go with this part yet let's just hope it works :lol: Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: m.m.p on May 20, 2012, 07:56:07 am hi Andy, i can see you've done loads of work trying to get the shift rods in place and functional, but due to placement of the shifter and box there is no straight run to connect the two, have you thought of using universal shift cables?
good luck (http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/lil_italy480/Cable-Shift/0943.jpg) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 20, 2012, 08:37:21 am That thought entered my head but for some silly reason in thought you could only pull on those not push, thanks for the heads up they will be much easier to use. I will give a bell tmw to talk engines
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 20, 2012, 11:09:00 am Got me thinking I'm sure I've got some of those so up to the loft to look at my small collection of VAG cables lol

I am not going to comment on the trailer build as I have no idea on legistlation etc,but one thing that does concern me is the use of the porsche wheels,although they are undoubtedly a strong wheel,trailers have trailer wheels for a reason,I would be really worried about them failing when using them in a way not intended,the weight and load you want to subject them to seems way beyond what they were designed for,is this something you have considered at all? cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on June 23, 2012, 16:43:16 pm Hi Richie I have thought about it I haven't got to the bottom of it yet these wheels can take 550 kg each as far as I can find out, I'm defiantly going to look further into it before the car goes in

So as this isnt The caravan& trailer forum :D as amazing as your effort and skills in creating this trailer,whats happening with the car? and particularly the engine? I know you ordered some parts a few months ago now so what have you got,have you actually finalised the engine specs? cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on July 04, 2012, 11:14:11 am crank is on its way, ordering this lot next week

At this point I am not sure what you are aiming for? drag race car? street & race car? circuit car? but with the constant evolution of this car you are doing for your wife ;) I am not sure you are now either ;D cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on July 04, 2012, 14:34:29 pm hi riche
its a full out drag car, the reason for me using the F1 bodies is the whole intake system from the turbo onwards is set up that already i did think of going to a single but it would cost a few K to do that, Marco is going to build and tune the engine i dont mind making anything but im not messing with all that money on parts lol cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on July 04, 2012, 18:51:02 pm hi riche its a full out drag car, the reason for me using the F1 bodies is the whole intake system from the turbo onwards is set up that already i did think of going to a single but it would cost a few K to do that, Marco is going to build and tune the engine i dont mind making anything but im not messing with all that money on parts lol cheers andy Cool,that must be some intake if its more than those f1 throttle bodies :o Good luck with it,as you say its alot of money in parts for someone to ruin by not knowing what they are doing cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on July 04, 2012, 19:52:09 pm Well nearly as much to change ::)

Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: cassa on July 04, 2012, 22:49:22 pm I have never understood the design/shape of your plenums.
Is the a aerodynamic thinking- teory behind the design that I dont understand?? I would rethink the inlet design, make it short and with a minimum use of bends. Sharp edges make for turbulence. Is the turbo matched for your engine setup?

Cheers andy I am certainly not an expert on this but the way i see it the plenum is between the valve and the throttle plate,afterthat[or before that really]its just the intake manifold cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on July 05, 2012, 09:35:45 am I have never understood the design/shape of your plenums.

Any ideas I may order Pauter at the same time as the block Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Shane Noone on July 27, 2012, 19:08:31 pm Engine news Andy ?!?! ;D News is back to the last plan with a slight change as the sale of he motor I was going to buy fell through :( so its JPM heads vale train and cam Pauter block Rods ? Any ideas I may order Pauter at the same time as the block Cheers andy Oh well plan B then :D Errm I used to run Pauter Race Rods -very nice but bulky in the stock case but I guess no probs in the Pauter Block. Are Carillo still considered as good as they get ? I currrently have CB race rods - JMR suggestion at the time as he rated them but maybe a s a budget choice ? Cheers Shane.

so back on with the car :) moved the rear a arms over by 70mm each side as the axles were going to be very short andy i need to get rid of the spacers (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/6b9394ef.jpg) also thought of this idea not sure if its a good one or not, the way i see it on launch the torsion tube takes a fair bit of load to ive but this 20mm CDS to transfer some of that load what does anybody else think am i barking up the wrong tree? next on to some more electronics ive found these from as jaguar X350 they are suspension height sensors and put out a 0-5v so i can put them into the data logger to measure what the suspension does (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/4609bf3f.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/1df3d3fb.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/ff14ba91.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/355012b2.jpg) cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on August 07, 2012, 19:30:53 pm also thought of this idea not sure if its a good one or not, the way i see it on launch the torsion tube takes a fair bit of load to ive but this 20mm CDS to transfer some of that load what does anybody else think am i barking up the wrong tree? cheers andy nope,its needed,it will flex,I have mine tied up to the roll cage,where the harness bar and door bars meet the main hoop so they all provide the rigidity needed I dont know who big tube you are using on all your suspension links but start thinking alongs the lines of what power you are going to put through it,anything not strong enough will flex and cause all sorts of strange handling issues,and also you need to think of how much tyre you have to put under there now to get that power down,I dont want to encourage you to change anything ;D but you proberly need to re think some of it to make sure its good enough :) That engine is a serious pice of kit 8) cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 07, 2012, 19:52:28 pm Cheers Ritchie
The main tube on the suspension is 1 1/2 thick wall CDS the rose joints are M22. The tie rods to the a arms are 20mm thick wall CDS. The cage is CroMo tied to the chassis spine, shock towers and forks in four places. All suspension mounts are from 8mm now you know I'm not afraid of change so what else should I add I don't want to break it lol Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on August 08, 2012, 09:25:16 am Cheers Ritchie That all sounds nice and strongThe main tube on the suspension is 1 1/2 thick wall CDS the rose joints are M22.

All suspension mounts are from 8mm now you know I'm not afraid of change so what else should I add I don't want to break it lol Cheers andy What "I" would change The length of the trailing arms,the idea is great but they are short,Mike lawless's car works with it but he has a limited amount of hp/torque,I would cut off the torsion housing and stretch the arms to the bottom of the main hoop and make a mounting point from there,basically backhalf the car,it can be done with a short arm[springplates like the Skinne car or Russ fellows,even my old cabrio] but you are limited by it then. Note: Actually I wouldnt,I would run it as a springplate car,but i am stupid and like the element of suprise[will it go down the track or will it crash] :o ;D You need to think "race car" not "modified road car" :o :) with that engine and make room for a 10"wide slick cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 08, 2012, 10:56:42 am That all sounds nice and strong What "I" would change The length of the trailing arms,the idea is great but they are short,Mike lawless's car works with it but he has a limited amount of hp/torque,I would cut off the torsion housing and stretch the arms to the bottom of the main hoop and make a mounting point from there,basically backhalf the car,it can be done with a short arm[springplates like the Skinne car or Russ fellows,even my old cabrio] but you are limited by it then.

Hers a 4 link set up that may give you a idea of what i am talking about Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 08, 2012, 12:02:49 pm ok cheers being a bit thick how does the length of arm work?
cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on August 08, 2012, 13:57:31 pm ok cheers being a bit thick how does the length of arm work? cheers andy Unfortunately I am far from an expert,so proberly going to get told I am wrong,but the changes in geometry of a short arm are huge compared to a long arm while moving through its arc,and when the power is applied a longer bar puts the power further forward in the car which I am led to bleieve will make the car react better,less prone to wheeling and less violent,there is alot more to it than that but I am still learning :) cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 08, 2012, 14:00:54 pm ok that makes sense :)
cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 08, 2012, 18:06:39 pm Looking at those I think I do need a re think when I first did the rear I wasn't planing the Pauter power lol
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: dannyboy on August 08, 2012, 19:05:59 pm ffs its starting again youve only been working back on it a day ::) ;D
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on August 08, 2012, 19:36:27 pm Looking at those I think I do need a re think when I first did the rear I wasn't planing the Pauter power lol Cheers andy :) Maybe sit down with pen and paper and decide exactly what you want to achieve with it now,and then see what spec the rest of it needs to be to do that and more,always leave some extra in there because we always want to go faster later on than we think now ;) Some things to think of Will the drivetrain take the abuse and power? have I got enough tyre and are the wheels strong enough? are the gear ratios suitable for what i am trying to do and match the engine rpm? is the fuel system enough to supply what i need and 25% more for later? have I got enough ignition to fire the fuel needed? does the turbo move the air I need at the right rpm? is the intercooler able to cool the intake temps it will see? Will it stop when I finally do a full pass :o ;D cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 08, 2012, 21:31:45 pm ffs its starting again youve only been working back on it a day ::) ;D And your suprised lol Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 08, 2012, 21:41:42 pm Looking at those I think I do need a re think when I first did the rear I wasn't planing the Pauter power lol Cheers andy :) Maybe sit down with pen and paper and decide exactly what you want to achieve with it now,and then see what spec the rest of it needs to be to do that and more,always leave some extra in there because we always want to go faster later on than we think now ;) Some things to think of Will the drivetrain take the abuse and power? have I got enough tyre and are the wheels strong enough? are the gear ratios suitable for what i am trying to do and match the engine rpm? is the fuel system enough to supply what i need and 25% more for later? have I got enough ignition to fire the fuel needed? does the turbo move the air I need at the right rpm? is the intercooler able to cool the intake temps it will see? Will it stop when I finally do a full pass :o ;D cheers richie Yes you are correct exactly what I need to do when I started I was planning 300 since then you can see what's happened Will the drivetrain take the abuse and power? Gearbox yes cvs 930s not sure have I got enough tyre and are the wheels strong enough? Unknown to me split 8" compromotive Fuchs are the gear ratios suitable for what i am trying to do and match the engine rpm? Geared to 155 @ 7000 is the fuel system enough to supply what i need and 25% more for later? It will be 2000hp pump so 1000 on meth have I got enough ignition to fire the fuel needed? Coil per cylinder so I hope so ? does the turbo move the air I need at the right rpm? It looks ok to me twin scroll Borg Warner bullseye 366 is the intercooler able to cool the intake temps it will see? That im sure of custom one with the same core as a 1200 bhp v12 Lamborghini Turbo conversion but mine you can fill directly with ice Will it stop when I finally do a full pass :o ;D I think so Stroud chute and gears brakes all round but who knows I need to spend the day planning the final rear suspension and probably loads more questions Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 13, 2012, 16:53:57 pm so this bit is dannys fault for asking me to get his NOS filled up at websters, the rear suspension is now being made there i think this guy knows exactly what hes doing :)
http://www.webster-race-engineering.co.uk/ and hes ten minutes from my front door http://performancetrends.com/download.htm when you download the suspension analyser you can see how a slight change shifts things on a car cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 13, 2012, 22:31:42 pm electrics baby

Other news the turbos has gone bigger for the new engine as the Borg Warner 366 was going to be too small so Mr Keene has sold me this ;D

I can't get my car into webster or hauser until january Jeff Hauser spent a fair bit of time with me explaining four link and how it all works but not on a beetle like it does on a live axle lol, so made sense to stay IRS. So that started me thinking again This is the final plan I promise lol (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/789A38CB-2BE1-47D4-A8D3-216200B1187A-687-0000010A14270044_zps4d1a7dca.jpg) 996 rear end so I can use 996 drive shaft (tiptronnic) as they are shorter and the inner should fit the 930 output it looks a bit wide in the picture but the box has to come higher and from what I've measured today so fit fine (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/C2D31F51-0A99-4BED-9B35-B49D3B168E78-687-0000010A20D21CF9_zpse5b424b1.jpg) Basically I'm going to make a frame and motor plates for the transmission and mount the IRS to that luckily there are a lot of tuning parts for the rear of the 996 so I can make the whole rear end adjustable Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: dannyboy on September 19, 2012, 18:31:34 pm quality mate fricken love it 8)

I think you should focus on weight and balance in a car with the kind of HP that you plan on having. Borrow corner scales and move things around until you`re happy. -BB- Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on September 20, 2012, 08:29:09 am lol it will be by the time ive finished :) May I ask how much it weight compared to a "ordinary" IRS? I think you should focus on weight and balance in a car with the kind of HP that you plan on having. Borrow corner scales and move things around until you`re happy. -BB- I haven't got any scales here but Im guessing about 10kg-12kg and I will be using the strange brakes i have. So should be very close to standard irs with drum/disc brakes a would guess and yes im going to get the corner weights done and get the car set up suspension wise before it even sees a track. I will be putting the battery and dry sump up front and the fuel tank of course. And the turbo is going over the transmission so i think that may help as the 930 box is very heavy compared to a vw box cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: AntLockyer on September 20, 2012, 10:10:11 am Jeff Hauser spent a fair bit of time with me explaining four link and how it all works but not on a beetle like it does on a live axle lol, I thought this was going to end up with a floating motor and live 'axle' :o Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on September 20, 2012, 17:38:20 pm Jeff Hauser spent a fair bit of time with me explaining four link and how it all works but not on a beetle like it does on a live axle lol, I thought this was going to end up with a floating motor and live 'axle' :o I still have no idea hows its going to turn out but one has to try lol so a little bit done today (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/246D7CAF-50FC-4BFA-B3D9-E01DA4A97510-2606-000000AC3BF29755_zps1d2bfc13.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/DEEB742B-14F5-4316-9367-0D1E27FE61C9-2606-000000ACB0EE249F_zps2398399b.jpg) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/5750C01C-1D0F-428F-B27A-F5FE9A140F6C-2606-000000ACFC26D497_zpsf8999119.jpg) i think the exhaust header may be an issue so i will need to take that into account.

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Jon on September 26, 2012, 08:17:48 am I would reconsider how you use bolts in the attachment of this cage. You are now relying on the strength of the bolt to keep the back end on. In other words they get a lot if not all the stress.
If you bolt it sideways (90° to the center axis of the car) it will rely on the clamping force between the cage and the tabs you weld on the chassis. Then the bolts will only have to maintain the clamping force. And if you spreed the bolts as far apart as possible it will become stronger with every mm you gain. Just an opinion from a engineering standpoint, but carry on, you must have a lot of fun!

Hi i get what your saying how much twisting force would you think would be there i cant think there would be a huge amount, the cage for the trans will also be tied into the cage in the car there's also 160 mm + of CSA of bolts and dowls there there won't be that much on the flywheel any help is good cheers andy :) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: cedric on September 26, 2012, 19:53:53 pm Nice work...keep on Going :o

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on October 18, 2012, 20:09:49 pm Andy
why does it have so much camber? surely the porsche it came from didn't have that much? so if you get the geometry the same as the posrche& mount the arms in the same place as the porsche you wont need adjustable ends? also 2 things that are bothering me looking at all the pics, 1.ride height, what have you done to allow it to increase ride height? when you add 500lbs of engine and ancillaries its going to be on the floor :o and 2. how are you going to get a header in there? the point were 1&3 tubes come out of the heads looks like its going straight into the suspension arms? it was difficult enough on mine to get those 2 tubes out,needing to actually go through the suspension,around the cv & hub and then underneath :o and mine has much more room around it that yours. I like the fact you are thinking so outside the box :) but there are somethings that just have to be done the conventional way,the exhaust port is on the end of the head so it has to come out there ;) ;D Can you put a front wing on for me please? I want to see how it looks with that front suspension, thanks cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on October 18, 2012, 20:14:44 pm With 8 degrees of negative camber, your on the wrong forum.

Thanks for your comments keep them coming I have tried to think of as match as I can lol Andy why does it have so much camber? surely the porsche it came from didn't have that much? so if you get the geometry the same as the posrche& mount the arms in the same place as the porsche you wont need adjustable ends? also 2 things that are bothering me looking at all the pics It would be a waste of time doing so as I want the rear end to be completely adjustable so the 8 deg of neg camber at the moment is as far as it can go at this height I also will be making the new arms to get rid of the rubber bushings to get zero toe change , 1.ride height, what have you done to allow it to increase ride height? when you add 500lbs of engine and ancillaries its going to be on the floor :o I have some laser cut parts coming I need to weld in place for height adjustment and 2. how are you going to get a header in there? the point were 1&3 tubes come out of the heads looks like its going straight into the suspension arms? It will fit there's loads do room :) those arm taper in at an angle it was difficult enough on mine to get those 2 tubes out,needing to actually go through the suspension,around the cv & hub and then underneath :o and mine has much more room around it that yours. I like the fact you are thinking so outside the box :) but there are somethings that just have to be done the conventional way,the exhaust port is on the end of the head so it has to come out there ;) ;D But that's too easy what would I think about at night lol Can you put a front wing on for me please? I want to see how it looks with that front suspension, thanks I sure will when I get them back from the guy making the front air dam I do have some standard ones I could try though cheers richie Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on October 18, 2012, 21:19:56 pm Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on October 18, 2012, 22:47:09 pm Are you getting ex flanges from pauter with your engine? I think they are cut for 2inch primaries so that will be your header size,the radius on a 2inch tube is big and you need 2-3 inches of straight coming out of the exhaust port so how close is that going to put the header to the suspension arms? it may just be an optical illusion looking at your pics so I hope you are right but it looks really tight to me.
Why couldnt you get the ride height and camber correct already,is there something in the way preventing it? I understand wanting to build in some adjustability but surely you need to have it close to start with? Suggestion: A longer coilover would proberly help the ride height issue :) cheers richie A stock wing on the front just to see would be perfect,thanks :) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on October 19, 2012, 09:00:00 am Hi Riche it is going to be tight i have about 8 " i moved the suspension about that much to get 0 camber at ride height i couldnt land were i wanted to yes in the ideal world setting as close to 0 would be good but its no big problem the GT3 runs a slight camber not 8 deg though lol and yes longer coil over would be a better solution i may stick with that idea. As to a picture with stock wings ive weled th holes up so cant fit one lol but this is with the CSP wider wings, with a stock wing the wheel is in the standard position i.e not tucked

Heimjoints still looks like the solution to me. Nice saw!
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on October 20, 2012, 18:29:26 pm Hi the reason I don't think the helm joints will work is, if you imagine the hub in front of you the helm joint will allow movement left to right and right to left, the arms move in an arc as you know I don't think there is any side wards movement, and there is also no whiteness marks on the rubber bushes showing that, that's why after you pointed out maybe not just an axle force I think conical it works for wheels lol

A Rose joint or Helm Joint is whats needed in this application. Martin Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on October 20, 2012, 19:04:13 pm Thanks for your replies but I still can't get out of my head if I use hell joint on the top two arms it will then move from side to side

Also the joints on the bottom to the hub are not fixed they are ball type joints Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Martin on October 20, 2012, 19:20:43 pm how can they move from side to side?
use the correct joint for the job, I admire your guts for giving it a go, but try not to reinvent the wheel especially when it comes to such important parts of the suspension. Take a look at multi link rose jointed suspensions to see how its done. this kind of stuff just cant be thrown together, i haven't seen any evidence of a jig or fixture to get the the geo correct. this stuff is important. if you've never done it before, get the experts to do it!. this is yours and our lives were talking about, as we'll be in the other lane. Martin Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on October 20, 2012, 20:06:30 pm Hi Martin
I'm not trying to reinvent anything just trying to see an idea through, I did have the thing in my head about a rose joint not working and did have a bit of tunnel vision on that, and thanks to your and the others posts I have see we're I was getting confused. (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/EB3B1B88-35B9-4985-AC9D-FAE893BE7A27-8773-000002821A8240C3.jpg) So a few small changes and for the record I used the porsche sub frame as jig and its not being thrown together I have spent nearly 4 solid weeks getting to this point. And yes I've never done this before but i wouldn't worry about racing me you be in front anyway :) Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Fasterbrit on October 20, 2012, 20:10:07 pm Hi Andy. If you use rose/heim joints it will work fine as both pivot points aren't on the same plane. Almost all race car setups use rose joints with great success.

what size tubes have you got there for the header? and how did you come to chose that size? cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 10, 2012, 23:57:05 pm Hi
It 1 3/4 inch, I was advised it would be the correct size, for the size and type of turbo I'm using Cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on December 12, 2012, 18:22:38 pm Hi It 1 3/4 inch, I was advised it would be the correct size, for the size and type of turbo I'm using Cheers Andy By pauter? I thought the flanges they supplied with there heads were for bigger tube than that? cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 12, 2012, 20:17:57 pm Hi no not by Pauter they do 1.81" or 2" indeed to be a bit smaller than 1.8 as holsets as you know work on pulse rather than heat and flow. Should be able to take up the small difference when I tig up the inside of the flange

if you are happy with that then go for it :) It just seems small to me on an engine that size, but no one thinks my header on the old car would work, everyone has there own ideas and thats good because we learn that way :) I would be asking the engine builder what to use,they should know better than any internet experts :o ;) ;D cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 12, 2012, 22:16:26 pm Hi Martin
As an electrician I'm no expert in the area as far as I understand its the diesel holsets that use the pulse energy for low end torque I'm sure there are better informed people to explain how or why if if I'm talking shite but that what I've read Hi Richie I've just asked the question so lets see what comes back I don't want to waste my time building a header that's too small I do trust a 100% the person that told me to use this size but a second opinion can't hurt I guess Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on December 14, 2012, 10:15:25 am Hi Richie I've just asked the question so lets see what comes back I don't want to waste my time building a header that's too small I do trust a 100% the person that told me to use this size but a second opinion can't hurt I guess Cheers andy Good plan,cant go wrong with asking Pauter,not many out there with more real life experience of turbo VW style engines :) cheers richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on December 14, 2012, 18:46:47 pm bit more done 4" all the way lol

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Neil Davies on February 01, 2013, 23:43:15 pm Andy, you may want to fit a filler flap in the bonnet! It's a proper arse opening a flip front just to check the fuel level, and at some point you won't bother because you "know" there's plenty in. That'll be the pass you run out of fuel mid-track - ask me how I know... :-[

Will you have a thermostat on the oil coolers? As i think at the track getting Heat into the oil is going to be the hardest part. Martin Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 25, 2013, 13:43:06 pm hi martin
i cant imagine the motor will run for long and yes i will be fitting a stat. I will be preheating the oil with a sump heater to bring it up to 90 degC before engine start up but i guess that will soon drop off if stood in the fire uplane for long, i did make some 12v heaters that worked well so i may fit those cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Mike Lawless on February 25, 2013, 15:45:52 pm I've been following along and everything looks great!
I do have an observation. I'd really like to see some additional gusseting on the forward suspension mounts on the chassis. You're going to be putting a lot of power through those, and the entire forward force of the driving wheels will be pushing forward at those points. They are under a lot of stress. Try to visualize the direction of force applied at those points and add some reinforcing accordingly. Just a suggestion ;) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 25, 2013, 18:08:42 pm hi Mike
thanks for your interest do you mean these ones? (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/E18F8DC4-1859-4951-AB54-778D7881956B-100-00000000F1825DE8_zps0fa315ca.jpg) cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Mike Lawless on February 25, 2013, 18:19:53 pm Yes. Personally, I'd like to see some additional gusseting forward. If you imagine all that forward force pushing your car though those mounts, you could see that those little tabs could pull right off the tube. That wouldn't be a very pretty thing.
I just want you to be safe! Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 25, 2013, 18:30:34 pm hi i see what you are saying but i do have one on each tube working in differnt directions if that makes sense, i will have to take another look at it maybe?

Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Basti on March 13, 2013, 19:04:19 pm but a mechanic Pump is also using a Lot of power!!
cheers, basti Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on March 13, 2013, 19:07:41 pm Hi I'm not to bothered about the power it will use the oil pump will use enough lol it also has the advantage if the the engine stops so does the fuel
Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Martin on March 13, 2013, 19:28:52 pm but a mechanic Pump is also using a Lot of power!! cheers, basti they consume very little Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Mike Lawless on March 13, 2013, 19:32:23 pm Is that an Enderle pump Andy? Do you know the output?
A mechanical pump doesn't use that much power. The advantage is that output goes up with rpm. You can probably use smaller injectors that you would with an electric pump because the fuel pressure can be higher at higher rpm When we went to mechanical injection a few years back, we didn't see a loss of performance because the pump was driven off the motor. We actually saw better performance because of the increase in bottom end torque that methanol makes.

The AFR is back pressure compensated to help make the readings a bit more accurate. But to do this I will need to link both banks but not sure if that's going to give any issues I don't think it would be any problem as it would be just be like having one waste gate on a twin scroll turbo ?

Martin Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on March 27, 2013, 21:07:58 pm Hi Martin
I've spoken to a few chassis guys and racers and I m staying with what I started with, with a few mods, at the end of the day I never wanted a chassis car look at skinnie he is in the 8s with a paned car on IRS same as russ will be this year I'm sure. My car is well out of the box but I want to try things I'm not into setting records or status bullshit. I just want to try what I have thought up. I understand what you have said that you and others won't want to line up against me, that's fine I'm sure when the cars done living 5 miles from Santa pod I will be there dialling the car in and myself every other weekend until it works or I plant it into the wall then it starts all over again. I'm not poo pooing your views and appreciate your concern but I'm sure you will understand I have to try it I've comrade to far just to start again Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Martin on March 28, 2013, 09:20:43 am I tried, my consciouse is now clear.

As is it wasn't made by an electrican with a welder just take off an go as straight as an arrow with no drama at all, I'm all fired up an convinced this dam thing will work so I'm going to start on the front end. If you we're scared before its getting a whole lot worse lol

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 08, 2013, 19:48:37 pm So more changes I've been very inspired by petes car, so I'm going to build a strut front end, I'm using a Boxster front end as the parts are nearly the same as the 996 rear end I have used and are very strong. I will making the whole front end now connecting to the cage. The shocks is the only thing I haven't got a plan for yet. But I'm sure somthing will pop into my silly brain soon

Why did you not stick with the red9 front setup ? Was there anything wrong with it or was it purely a weight issue ? Great build by the way, lots of 'different' thinking Thanks Darren Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 13, 2013, 09:01:01 am Hi no reason really but I wanted to make the front of the car part of the cage and also try it out, the red9 front end is lighter than a standard ball joint beam with all the brakes on etc

Your wheelbase and front width are different compared to the boxter. Have you thought about the Ackermann geometry ? I am still not sure how to solve that at my car. Paul. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 18, 2013, 20:25:41 pm Hi Paul
I haven't given it much thought to be honest as I'm only going in a straight line, but I will have every angle adjustable. I'm also going to limit the travel on front and rear Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: fahrvergnugen on April 19, 2013, 21:12:25 pm To much work just to go in a strait line ;D
The Ackermann Principe isn't adjustable, it has to do with the angle of your steering arms (on the Porsche struts). the ideal Angle is that when you draw a line, the crossing point of L and R is in the centre of the rear axle. But if you're not using your steering wheel ;D Paul. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 19, 2013, 21:18:49 pm No such thing as too much work lol
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: fahrvergnugen on April 19, 2013, 21:22:15 pm No such thing as too much work lol ;D ;D I see the steering is on the front, did you change left and right? Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 19, 2013, 21:28:56 pm Nope that's its normal place :)

the castor angle on "moden" car struts is done on the top mount. Martin Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 29, 2013, 17:46:43 pm Hi Martin I don't think it will have any bump steer, yes normally you would adjust on the top. I have camber adjusters on the top and needed to make a mount for the bottom so two birds with one stone :)

I understand why you did the double wishbone solution at the rear, but I am just not getting why you are trying to graft both ends of a Boxster to your car......
Sorry if that sounds negative- it is not meant that way- but it looks like an awful lot of trouble, with a number of elements that require some science to work well together, especially with the potential of your running gear combo. You could just build a tube car with a Lamb/Strange strut front end ;) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 11, 2013, 15:23:24 pm Hi there's nothing wrong with the torsion beam front end at all. I just like making things lol

I'm going to loom a bit more into this as there were other ratios out there for 930s so I better get looking as year the car will be fast but over about 3 miles lol. But I'm still on it So a few questions never fitted a flip front so do I cut here ?

On photo one the vertical line is in about the right place but too long. Look at where the wing bolt line is cut off - you want to come horizontally back from there. On what is left of the quarter panel on my old car, there had been a 20mm wide strip welded on at 90deg to the quarter, almost like a return lip. Also, the area where the heater pipe comes up the door post had been capped off with what looked like a piece of old wing to get the curve right!! I might have some pictures on my laptop, I'll look later.
You've cut more out of the doors than I would have. I left the area for the door handle, with the diagonal piece running across the door and a vertical above the handle aperture. Not much more weight than yours but it allowed me to run the stock handles in the stock position. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 21, 2013, 19:49:11 pm Thanks Neil that helps a lot pics would be great :) I like the idea of the return lip it would finish it off , so I'm on back on with the electrics that is a project in its self lol

Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 23, 2013, 19:43:08 pm Hi Peach
It's a Dash II by race technology as it the data logger and camera system it has sensor inputs but also gets data from the DTA CanBus I've got this 36 way 10 amp connector for the engine harness (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/null_zpsf38cd744.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/null_zpsf38cd744.jpg.html) Also started on the thankless task of seam welding the joins on the from end (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/null_zps8146b9c8.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/null_zps8146b9c8.jpg.html) Then I will have to seam seal the inside as I've had to scrap out the original sealant to weld up Cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: peach_ on May 23, 2013, 19:46:29 pm cool, when you say suspension height, are you meaning ride height ie body to ground measurement
or Damper travel? Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on May 23, 2013, 19:54:02 pm Hi it will be damper travel I found some sensors that jag use that turn out to be the same as porsche use on the 997 with 3 connections

Fuel pump, idle control, boost control, shift light, fans, warning lights, etc. 1.5 A per output. MaxxECU inputs Air temperature sensor (IAT). Water temperature sensor (CLT). Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Lambda Sensor. Uses broadband lambda sensor directly to the ECU without any additional electronics. 2 trigger inputs. VR, hall or opto. The signals are processed by a completely separate processor for maximum performance and immunity to interference. Two additional temperature sensors. Can be used for logging or control of additional functions. 2 spare 0-5V inputs. Can be used for additional sensors such. measuring the exhaust gas back pressure or fuel pressure. 2 additional digital inputs. Used for example. speed sensors and switches. Built-in pressure sensor (barometer). Built MAP sensor for up to 3 bar boost. 8 inputs for EGT sensors. No additional electronics needed. MaxxECU example functions (If you would like to have something you miss or want to change, please contact us, we are listening to our users to make our system the best!) Launch Control. Flexible lap top. Adjustable laddtrycksbegränsning. Adjustable protection functions based on EGT and / or lambda. Regulate the fuel based on the exhaust temperature and / or oxygen to protect the engine. MAP sensor or TPS as load sensor. Flexible additional tables to facilitate really sharp engines. Automatically disabling the injectors at full throttle when cranking. Adjustable. Swipe tachometer to its maximum speed at ignition on. Built-in error and warning diagnostics and felkodshantering.

One box Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: BeetleBug on August 15, 2013, 08:07:43 am Maxx is one that have all the options. Bosch have a new one but it is expensive. Motec is also rather expensive. Vipec has a all-in-one box. My choice, today, would be the Maxx. It has built in injector drivers, knock control, built in map sensor, built in exhaust temp control, built in BB lambda... you name it. The maxx is also cheap compared to more known brands.

cars back :) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpsd8a09c12.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpsd8a09c12.jpg.html) very happy that its straight im changing the steering rack as I discovered that after all my efforts school boy error it worked backwards I have no idea how I managed it without noticing (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpse8892059.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpse8892059.jpg.html) changing to a smart car rack looks like it will fit fine and had the same size M14x1.5 as the Porsche (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps32279351.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps32279351.jpg.html) cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on November 10, 2013, 17:49:31 pm Started on the new steering rack not as easy as I first thought to fit but at least it works in the correct direction lol
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpsc4c62f13.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpsc4c62f13.jpg.html) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps54095056.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps54095056.jpg.html) The track rod end is different on a smart car the ball joint part bolts to the hub I have I may try to move the rack to the bulk head so I can get the Ackerman angle. I think I should be able to swap the hubs around to have the steering to the rear and use a golf MK4 column Cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Jon on November 10, 2013, 19:56:15 pm The ackerman angle is already built in to your spindles, the "arms" on them are pointing outwards, that means they need the rack in front to work. I wouldn't mess with another rack, just get a porsche rack from a left hand drive and mount it upside down.
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: fahrvergnugen on November 10, 2013, 20:34:32 pm This car is more narrow and has a shorter wheelbase as the Porsche where the spindles came from. This means your ackermann is gone. I wouldn't flip the left and right spindle, this means your arm is pointing the wrong direction. Ask me how I know :-[
I had the same problem with my steering. Now I use an English steering rack on a European car and it works just fine. Cheers Paul. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on November 11, 2013, 18:37:49 pm so its going to make not much difference where it goes the rack from the smart car works the correct way round for the hubs. slightly modified a Golf MK4 column today and Im happy with how it turned out
removed all the adjustment and moved the mounting bracket to the same position of a bug (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps072db5df.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps072db5df.jpg.html) the mounting holes even line up (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps5462f54e.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps5462f54e.jpg.html) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps1ab3be22.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps1ab3be22.jpg.html) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps40565605.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zps40565605.jpg.html) (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpsb8194b06.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/gluemixer/media/garys%20picnic%202010/null_zpsb8194b06.jpg.html) bit more fettling and looks like its going to work a treat cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on November 30, 2013, 20:30:59 pm fitted the springs at last been hectic at work

Its a chicken and egg thing no data from the engine as I cant run it as I don't have a trans yet so this is best guess.
26" tyre 3.88 FD change at 8k Gear RPM MPH 1st 2.75 0 58 2nd 1.88 5500 85 3rd 1.44 6000 114 4th 1.05 6000 152 Maybe 5th 0.77 5900 207 engine should be on boost by 5500 rpm maybe we have the formula? Thanks for you help those who pmed me on this :) Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 08, 2014, 17:09:51 pm Well I've remade then calliper brackets that I managed to turn into scrap and I've started on the vacuum pump and alternator mount.

Nice pictures! Accusump is also nice and I have it on my Chevy LS2 powered Pontiac GTO. Now on an engine with extensive working dry sump, for me it is adding complexity and weight, without adding value. Now maybe you have another thinking? Please share. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 25, 2014, 23:21:37 pm my thinking is its and insurance policy much like the fire extinguisher that's going in. Im not planning on setting any records with my car, it will be heavy and im not the slightest bit competitive and I have nothing to prove. For me its the build, thinking of something making it, failing, learning and trying again. Maybe one day it will be fast lol

Great progress, do you actually sleep :D Are you going with the air box idea for the turbo's intake ? I was wondering if it was possible for two turbos that suddenly take a big gulp of air when spooling up to effectively empty the air box or would this just create a vacuum to pull more air in ? Thanks Darren Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 09, 2014, 19:54:20 pm Cheers thanks, it's not to every bodies taste, but what is ? lol I'm enjoying myself .

Cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Martin on April 10, 2014, 09:05:49 am you should be pulling Vac from the crank Case, the idea is put neg pressure behind the rings. but you'll have to shield it so it doesn't suck up the oil thrown off the crank.
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 10, 2014, 18:18:54 pm Hi Martin
I was thinking best place was right hand rocker cover as that were the least amount of oil spray should be, and pulling a vacuum in the case will still happen from there as it would direct into the top of the case or am I Missing something Cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: peach_ on April 11, 2014, 00:59:13 am Hi Martin I was thinking best place was right hand rocker cover as that were the least amount of oil spray should be, and pulling a vacuum in the case will still happen from there as it would direct into the top of the case or am I Missing something Cheers Andy By doing that arnt you creating a less effective way of vacuuming? surely if you want to create a vacuum should you do it on both sides to create equal pressure on both sets of pistons? or just create it from the middle as martin suggested? Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Martin on April 11, 2014, 09:18:36 am your trying to place the area under the pistons in negative pressure, as that's where all the pumping in occurring. Rather than try and drag the air up the push rod tubes, and around the head of the lifters. if you look down the pushrod tubes you'll see there isn't a lot of room.
I like the idea of a vac pump and would like to try one out at some point, but if your rings are sealing 95%+ then just a -12 breather on the case/heads back to the drysump tank works just fine. I have placed a map sensor on the crank case this year to monitor the pressure to give a good indication of ring sealing at the higher boost levels. trying to get an indication of how the cylinders are holding up to cylinder pressures were subjecting them too. Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on April 11, 2014, 19:46:23 pm I get what you are saying, but im trying to pull a neg pressure in a box down a 3/4 " hose so my thinking is the best place is the place that has least amount oil flying about.
I also get the push rod tube thing but I would guess the space on 4 push rods has more surface area than 3/4" tube. I can't see putting the fitting in the centre of the block is going to make any advantage, As the presure has to be equal in the case to pull a neg pressure . I have a limited understanding of vacuum pumps and vacuum from my days working on vacuum packing machines so the above makes sense to me lol Not saying your wrong just want the understanding Cheers Andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: johandryselius on April 12, 2014, 01:09:14 am Andy!
Love the hinges!! :) Johan Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Berger on April 12, 2014, 14:19:05 pm If you put vacuum on the valve cover, you will make it very hard for the oil coming from the rockers to return to the cranck case. I would never do that. I think venting the valv covers at all is a bad idea. Keep up the good work :)

any idea how hot do the glow plugs get in free air? just wondering if they will burn the oil by getting to hot as its impressive how quick they warm it up Like the chute release set up 8) cheers Richie Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 11, 2014, 12:23:25 pm hi
im not sure how hot they would get in free air but they would glow red and burn out if left too long. I did test them straight in oil and it did look as it may burn it. Then I made the heater pockets that are welded into the tank and that stopped any bubbling around the heater. Ive been testing them for the last 3 days for 5 hours at a time keeping the oil at 70 Deg and they have been fine so far no burn out at all. cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: richie on August 11, 2014, 14:05:40 pm hi im not sure how hot they would get in free air but they would glow red and burn out if left too long.

Very pleased to hear you have been doing all this testing to check it works given I have stolen your idea having done no R&D at all........ Hopefully I'll be doing some of my own to back up your results in just over a month though Thanks Peter Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 11, 2014, 21:32:34 pm Steal away mate it's flattering lol It works 100% and I don't think they will burn out quickly as the heat is taken away quickly even it they do no need to drain oil just swap one out 2 mins work.
Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on August 20, 2014, 22:13:13 pm First plug failure today after 35 hours of use so I'm happy with that 2 minute job to change a £3 part

You might want to think of putting some rubber or some kind of expansion on your intake -- my 2989 cc engine grows so much, as it heats up, that it has broken exhaust studs on the exhaust and pulled intakes loose.

These guys get some good reviews for split rim spares - http://www.felgenfuchs.de Don't list 7.5" but might be worth asking. Thanks Darren hi Darren 1 to move it away from the rear of the car didn't want to smash it off 2 to help prime the fuel and oil before start up and thank for the link I will be ordering the 6.5 as I can work with that as I have a lot of lips so I can make a 10" wheel cheers andy Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: spoolin70 on February 16, 2015, 18:43:03 pm Neil - I didn't keep up to speed with it but I thought Compomotive went into liquidation a couple of years ago.
Your mention of them just prompted a search and they are certainly trading again - thanks. Might help when I'm looking for spares for mine. Andy - you say you don't want to smash the pump off. Is that when you launch, foot to the floor and point skyward ;) Cheers Darren Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Andy Sykes on February 16, 2015, 19:17:49 pm Andy, my unit is about 5 minutes from Compomotive in Wolverhampton.

Amazing craftmanship shown here Keep on going andy Gr henri Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: vwhelmot on November 27, 2015, 23:59:36 pm Lovely tig work going on. I managed to distort a v band flange quite easily while welding one a while back. I'm also reading that they need some sort of gasket either copper or fibre to make them seal 100% too. True?

Just seen your for sale advert and wondered if your build is still progressing? Or is the engine sale to make way for something bigger ;D Thanks Darren Title: Re: My 65 race car Post by: Chip on February 08, 2017, 07:02:00 am Looks like you are parting this project out, sad to see it happen! I also understand that priorities can change quickly and hope all is okay for you and those closest to you.
