peter mc Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 has to be ss or it would rust and then the timing would not be right lol Quote
luvemfast Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Seems like a reasonable solution to sandwich the flexplate. +1 for funky flexplate Quote
Sirpent Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 One small step Just got a Xmas presi out of the U.S. Ordered this custom built 10/90 amp inductive fuel level unit for the donnut tank matched to the Zed's fuel guage for 10 amp full 90 amp empty set up. Quote
RB30X Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 90amps through a fuel tank I think you mean ohms? Quote
luvemfast Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 90amps through a fuel tank I think you mean ohms? Nahhhhh Didn't John tell you. It's going to have a rocket booster on the back. This way. He'll finally catch that Road Runner! Quote
Sirpent Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Nahhhhh Didn't John tell you. It's going to have a rocket booster on the back. This way. He'll finally catch that Road Runner! Not quite Milhouse, I'm actually looking for a flux capacitor In the mean while, just went down to see the boy's, all should be finished up tomorrow of Friday, here are some pic's of the flywheel in final stages of cnc'ing. Cheers John Quote
Sirpent Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 Ready for collection, Some internal pics and a layout of all the components will follow later today. Cheers John Quote
MaygZ Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 That engine looks so tall. I know you've measured it more than a dozen times, but it looks like you wont be able to get a cigarette paper under the bonnet. Are you going with one of Scoota's funky bonnets? Quote
Sirpent Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 All good Simon, Plenty of room, remember its replacing a tall OHC straight six, looks deceiving because its shorter and looks taller. By the way, John.B. at ARC says Hi, and asked are you still the biggest SH*T stirrer on this forum as you were back in the day? I answered, of course LMAO Quote
Sirpent Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 Some porn of what lays internally Quote
benny Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 very nice!! i was up all night waiting for you to upload the photos!! Quote
luvemfast Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Is it all located off the central bore? Seems to hang out a long way. Got a profile shot? Looking good! Quote

Scoota G Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 That'll fit easy peasy, Japanese...e. I put the lump in my bonnet so i could fit the torker manifold. Quote
luvemfast Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 As requested, not the best shots Actually meant of clutch assembly Quote
KatoKid Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 That's sweet as bro! Bellhousing looks really small diameter, whats the flywheel size? Only ask because I reckon a large enough single plate to handle the torque wont fit. Quote
Sirpent Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 That's sweet as bro! Bellhousing looks really small diameter, whats the flywheel size? Only ask because I reckon a large enough single plate to handle the torque wont fit. Funny enough, the dimensions were modelled after myself, 9 inches I know I know quite small Quote
KatoKid Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Yep, that is small! Confirms that dual plate will be the only option for anyone doing this conversion. Quote
Sirpent Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 David You aint kidding, when I saw the flywheel being turned in the CNC it looked smaller than the dinner plates we have at home, but interestingly the same 9 inch clutch pack is used on the V8 soarer supra box conversions and apparently there are twin turbo versions running around with the set with no issues. Cheers John Quote
KatoKid Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I don't doubt for a minute that the twin plate wont cope, its more for those people who may want to go with a cheaper single plate setup.....they wont be able to. Quote
Sirpent Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 I don't doubt for a minute that the twin plate wont cope, its more for those people who may want to go with a cheaper single plate setup.....they wont be able to. True David, Not everyone cup of tea as an alternative, but considering the CLAIMED durability and dirveability of the clutch set up, which I dont doubt, which is around $1500 off the shelf from ARC, It may still seem expensive but overall an acceptable cost. Quote
KatoKid Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Wow $1,500 is a ripper price. You wouldnt bother with single plate for that price. Quote
Sirpent Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Wow $1,500 is a ripper price. You wouldnt bother with single plate for that price. Just so theres no confusion, $1500.00 is for the clutch only, for those reading this, not the entire conversion kit I commisioned, thats another $2000.00 + worth. Cheers John Quote
