It took me a little while to find out what a plymouth arrow was!
The ABS is there I believe to assist the driver in adverse conditions, particularly as the fuel load is at least 100lt and is positioned behind the rear axle.
Thank you for the information.
Yes, probably true, but is an endurance racecar from a major manufacturer in the UK.
I believe the Daytona Reps produced in Melbourne have an ABS system adapted from a current HSV and partially controlled through a motec dash.
With the current upper market segment ABS units, what inputs do the ECU's require and why?
Obviously the wheel speed sensors are required, but why are some of the other inputs important?
Has anyone seen an ABS system retro-fitted to a vehicle not originally designed for it?
The reason I ask is that I have recently received information from a respected driver about a new vehicle he has just tested (sorry cannot disclose it). It has switchable ABS. With ABS braking was described...
Weber and Dell Orto have seemed to produce essentially similar products for some time. However weber seem to have followed some of Dell Orto designs with the more recent DCOE's.
The Aux venturi in model 150 and some 152 DCOE's have become long, full body Aux venturi's. Does anyone have any...
In a pushrod suspension, compressing the spring and damper via a bellcrank, much attention is placed on the bearings used in the bellcrank. In formula cars these bellcranks are in single shear and attach to the tub via a stiff post embedded into the tub.
With a different application, i.e. using...
an update for those who may be interested. Going through my database of front/rear track differences in sportscars a new fact has come to the fore. When I compared F/R track in cars released in the last 4 years the ratio has changed from that previously noted. It is now 3:1 wider at the front...
Thanks, I had missed the first thread, which is the one that seems most relevant. I will investigate further the engine's oil circuit and see how the drain-back to the sump is arranged. For this chassis I will tilt the engine (assuming the drain back seems sufficient) and see how it goes.
The...
Well it never rains it pours!...the angle is in reality 23 degrees! This will enable level driveshafts, but again how much is too much WRT rotation of the engine?
Interesting days then. Interestingly a rally engineer I recently spoke to suggested 8-5-5 for the 'G'. Why I found this interesting was that WRC cars seem to have very good levels of travel...but then they do seem to hit a lot of things in a rally.
Many thanks, I will check oil levels and drain back when the engine is running. The other option was to rotate the gearbox relative to the engine, but this is much more work than simply tilting the whole lot!
I am in the process of making an attribute mockup of a individually constructed vehicle. I will be using a Mitsubishi 6G75 V6 engine and 5 spd manual gearbox. To get the drive output to the height I require I need to raise it 45mm. The simplest means is to tilt the engine/gearbox 12 degrees...
