Raising the compression?

[Radleigh]

In that picture above, what gearset is it?? Not to familar with GTiR boxes, so I'm not sure whats broke on that pic, has it been pushed through casing there????? next to main shaft...

[Radleigh]

could that not just be welded??

 

[noriek2003]

yuk

 

[Radleigh]

Because of heat yeah? I know a very good aluminium welder, theres plenty to across the country....

Good job I got a spare casing!

 

[Radleigh]

ps: has anyone got a picture of the internals, and where they go? or any other pictures of broken boxes.

Yes, I would like to see where they fail as well!

what giken twin plate with out the damped center or with?

 

[pulsarboby]

yeah that could be a prob:lol:
not seen one go through the front like that.
at the end of the day what im making is better than nothing and i still believe it will strenghen the rear endcase, once again only time will tell.

just out of curiosity what you gonna use on your monster, are you using some kind of drag box?

Whats that blue flat thing in the top of that box in picture above??

 

[Fast Guy]

The blue thing is probably the oil gutter

a secret ingrediant inside the box ;-) :lol:

Sawdust? :bolt:

Has anyone seriously looked into getting an after market casting made? i.e. contacting some Chinese lot and asking them to make a copy of the gear casing lol.

I bet people would pay a fair amount to get a box that wouldn't explode, but I suspect its all been said and done before...

If that route were taken personally I think steel (broad term) would be the only material worth considering for a new casing.

lets just say we did sort the cracking box problem completely with something like the above, in peoples opinion what would be the next weak link in the chain to brake.

 

[Fast Guy]

CV joints/driveshafts?

 

[steve963]

thanks for the gloved hand pointing out the broken bit, would have missed it otherwise:doh:

no offence, only joking

its a shame there isn`t a dimensional drawing for the boxes avaliable if they`re that much of a problem. Could produce 3d model then load it up to try and best simulate what it see`s in service then strengthen the right bits as appropriate.
mind you, the modelling would take a fair amount of time tbh!

 

[Radleigh]

Just fit Evo running gear, Engine/transmission... the lot :lol:

 

[Fusion Ed]

All you need is to get a straight gearbox case in one bit and put it under a Renishaw Cyclone II!!! Cad drawing done! hha.
