Having the same frame built for a 14, but it will be a bit of old school style to it.

Looks a beast alright!  Very tidy job.  :onya:   :clapping:   Wonder how she'd stack up on a dyno, that'd be real interesting. (for me anyway)

Looks like you've raised the ride height if I'm not mistaken  :whistling:

Now you've fitted a hairdryer and fire extinguisher does that change your insurance costs. It would make it uninsurable here.

centrifugal force throws arms outwards = locked clutch. How accurate does the weight of the socket head cap bolt have to be?
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

AndyB

Well....theres a question  :whatever:
The arms press on the standard pressure plate...so , any contact with the pressure plate is going to be better than the standard clutch....question is how much pressure is enough...
I've spoken to stuart at warp speed racing who made this lock up..hes also got clutch covers that he makes too, ( they are billet porn)

And through science, witchcraft, and pure guesswork I'll have to add this much weight to mine..🤣🤣🤣

Won't the whole contraption need dynamic balancing too? otherwise differences around the circumference could cause wobbles that'll stress the shaft it's hung on?

AndyB

Nah....its not that complicated hooli  mate....it bolts straight on to the 14 inner hub through the pressure plate via 6 studs...as long as you've got more or less the same weight on each leg (6 identical washers)... your fine

A quick update on the turbo..
Dropped it into my pals shop to get it retuned on the rolling road and AF meter...after changing the secondary injectors to ( dare I say this)....Honda blackbird injectors on the advice of Sean from big cc
That was 9 weeks ago as I've been that busy with work..However...I'm home Wednesday coming and I,ll be picking it up on Thursday...so theres one or two new bits on it aswell.....
Pictures next week
