Finally got the last two projects done. In a few weeks I will be going back to turbopeople to get tuned on racegas. Then im hitting the track to try and beat my old best of 11.5. Here are pics and the links to the installs

You take so much pride in your work, it shows.

 

MrCrx, what car is your radiator for? An EG?

 

ELSpool, thank you very much.

Hybridhatch88, the radiator is from a 92 civic. I am using the z10 traction system, I also had to cut down the 2 nipples on the bottom of the radiator. And for extra clearance I needed to make it work I removed some material off the underside of the hood. Im not sure it would be possible with a stock metal hook though. rob

 

Great work indeed! Have you driven it yet with the new tilton? I thought the titon would be a drop in. Clearance issues due to the fact its a twin disc I suppose. Wider = less room! The cage looks awesome! Moly? I couldent see from the pics, do you have a plate connecting the piping to the floor, or did you just run pipe to floor? Awesome

 

Yes there were some small issues with clearance. The cage is chromolly. It came with 6x6 plates which are welded to the floor in all 6 spots then welded to the cage. The kit is from Chassis Engineering and if installed correctly its nhra legal. We followed the rulebook so I should be good to go.There was a small issue with the first loop they had sent. It prevented me from closing my doors with the full interior, but with noproblems or extra fees sent me a new loop to my specs. Now everything fits great and the car has its full interior. I drove the car for the first time lastnight, the clutch is very responsive. It took me an hour or so of driving around and stopping at lights to get the hang of it. The clutch is great and I love it. It has minor noise when you push the pedal in. Nothing that would bother anyone that is just looking to go fast and have a reliable clutch though. rob

 

how is the engagement?

everything looks sweet btw

 

did u make that roll cage? nice write ups..... good luck at the track and let us know how it does....

 

alittle hard at first. The thing i noticed the most, its pretty hard not to get it into gear. with my old clutch if you lost traction and the motor overeved alittle it wouldnt go into gear. With this clutch it just seems to fall right into gear.

The cage was a kit, came with 1 loop, 6 plates and 5 lenghts of pipe with a fisheye on oneside of all of them. The rest is up to you.

MrCrx, how big is your downpipe, and if its 3" does it clear the Z10 crossmember?

 

Yes my downpipe is 3inch, With the current downpipe setup I have about an 1inch of clearance. I have a vband on the turbo so that helped alot when we made up the downpipe. rob
