My only question might be what happens to the shift sequence if you get wheelspin? Wont that cause the revs to spike and also perhaps to lose 'loading' on the gears and upset the mechanism?
Cheers
Marc

Hi Volks...
yep the gearbox... is a topic at its own.... hope I'll find the time to start a new thread...
it is a Porsche G50 converted to Seamless... (Liberty style)
the shifter is a homemade vertical gate for going to the staring line and driving back after the run....
for the run it is air shifted... by compressed air from a carbon fiber tank 0.2 liter
so you put it into first gear...
will work with line lock in the future...
as long the line lock is aktivated plus a time of 0.4s the solenoid for the first gear stays engaged to keep the gear from popping out...
as soon as the car starts to gain speed, with the rear wheel RPM, the engine RPM ratio and the gear ration, the gear can be calculated...
1. gear detected and shift RPM reached (9200) solenoid for the equal gears is engaged moving the leveler backwards and engaging the 2nd gear in addition to the first...
no preload no ignition cut no retard.... just seamless....
as soon as the 2ng gear is engaged the 1st is disengaged...
2. gear detected and shift RPM reached (9200) solenoid for the unequal gears is engaged moving the leveler forwards and engaging the 3rd gear in addition to the 2nd...
as soon as the 3rd gear is engaged the 2nd is disengaged...

Damn, and again very impressive.. I like all that technical stuff, so thank you for sharing... Cool that this is in a vw car. |

Hmm, Blue is rear wheel speed. Faster for the burn out and slight difference between front until the run gets going. Yellow is front wheel speed. Slight difference at the beging of the run and a nice jump as the front wheels land back on the ground after the initial wheelie. I think you can also tell the difference in rolling diameter over the course of the run as the yellow overtakes the blue just before you shut the throttle Im guessing that you average the wheel speed and the box shifts dependent on preset speed settings Nice work |

Hi Volks....
As the high RPM is causing significantly more wear I have been tearing down my engine to have a look at the stressed parts....

The engine had appr. 30 runs on it all NA.... but because of the high RPM (red light 9300) I pay a lot attention to the engine internals.... to get more experience about the wear that will take place.... The clutch had about 50 runs on it.... but most with launch RPM 9000.... and no hard launches.... so most of the time the clutch is slipping 1.5s... and I tried burnout in third gear... which did not work.... and as it turned out only the clutch burnd out...🤔....

that Autocraft case is a solid chunk of metal, do you have any additional thickness added or is this the 'normal' case?
nice to see the bare bones.

Dear Ian... yep there were some modifications and reinforcements we did in a small production run... unfortunately it did not work in the first run and so they had to be melted down again.... here are some pix from the fresh molded and rough machined cases.....
