turbo 1300 to turbo 2300 conversion

[dsrace]

carrier, center to center....up and down is 8.25".... side to side on center of heims is 5"

upper and lower arms are 26" straight out from the frame, center of pivot to center of pivot. they all pivot on the same line. i ran all thread with steel spacers through all the heims before tacking tabs on the frame for both upper and lower. with drilled plates with the 8.25" spacing to keep them spaced evenly end for end to match the carrier.

total spread of upper at the frame is 15.5" and 5" at carrier. lower total spread is 34" at frame and 5" at carrier. now i bet you can addt he spread at the frame the way you want and it wouldn't matter. both upper and lower pivot in the center of the cv right now with 1/4" greaser spacers. but that doesn't matter either if your drawing center lines.

i doubt it would make a big diff but if one was to narrow the up and down pivots at the frame from  8.25" to 8" or 7.75" and leave the carrier 8.25" it would induce neg camber with same length arms. prob only -2 to -3* .

some progress

[Dunebound69]

After having to take a hammer to one cv to get it apart needless to say I was pissed. I will post pictures of what i'm doing. My old lightened ones with operate at 30 degrees now with just a little catch. The angle is there you just have to hold your tongue right plus grind the shit out of the new fxxkers.

The inner cage has no clearance with the outer. I really did have to use a hammer to get it apart. I spent over an hour on the drum sander widening the outer cage. I still need to take more out. The star need work too. It is hitting the retaining flange to. I'm shooting for able to do 30 degrees but hold them back to 27. My car doesn't ride where that would be a constant.

dunebound is working on his rail and making some progress but he took time out to show me the cv's. the cv's he's talking about are the rcv high angle plunging 930's that i couldn't get to go even 26* with out binding. now after seeing his 14 year old lightened 930's from pacific customs that do go 27* from day one till now and comparing them to rcv's .......ya you can see the problem. like dunebound said the inner cage is to large for the outter housing. when it pivots it actually is what starts to bind on the outter housing past a certain angle. he clearenced the outter for the inner and i bolted in on mine and checked them they operate right now or that one does. i have not told rcv and prob won't as i doubt they change anything or even believe me.

I'd talk to rcv . Who have you talked to there? It's really BS how so many aftermarket mfg's just don't care. I thought RCV was different. On the other hand...............remember the slip joint axle fiasco I had with RCV?

[Punkur67]

I could not be happier with mine. I set mine at 25 or 26 so the limit straps could stretch. No clicking or any binding.

[dsrace]

i went back to fixed for 30* max angle. i ran them at 35* max angle for the last 5 years with no issues. so we'll see.  i just went ahead and mounted in above the radiator. when i build the next frame i am going to stretch it 6" longer and i will buy a wider radiator so i can mount the innercooler in front of it as i wanted to. i do like the suby location too though.

fabbr i do remember all the trouble you had with them on the axles. i have never but can understand after this one!

punkur i am glad you are happy with your cv's i would like to think your one of many but have my doubts after this last batch they claim operate fine at 30* in there video. in that video they appear to be 15*! imo

[dsrace]

my rear view is worthless now but it works and gets plenty of air. i'll make a shroud for it and put a fan on it too. on the next one i will be making a fuel cell that mounts down in the frame like saddle bags. then the radiator and innercooler can be paired and moved back away from the motor. no room in  front of the radiator now and the inner cooler is the same width so it interferes with the inlet outlet necks.

[dsrace]

well re assembly has begun. got the motor back to now just have to assemble it. i will as soon as i get the rail back on it's wheels. went from he 1100 paddle to 1450's and from 6.75 single razors to 8.80 triples

you'll like them larger fronts in the chop, plus you got eps going in too?  Alright, quit screwing around with test rides in Enemy's ranger get her back together.  Test rides next weekend. LOL

[fabr]

Looking good.

ya well he installed the new efr turbo and i just had to see how that performed!!!  i am impressed both spool time and much much quieter turbo!

yes the eps is mounted

[dsrace]

Looking good.

thanks and i know you still don't like the looks of my arms but hey they'll grow on you
