Throw out bearing carrier question.

Hi there,

I have my installed an aftermarket clutch for my rb25det running a rb20det box.

upon installing the box (no fluid or lines have been installed yet due saving time) i have noticed (well I had a feeling it would happen) that my clutch fork is angled so much that it is pushing the slave cylinder rod almost all the way back into the cylinder, and has like 1mm (if that of play remaining in the cylinder).

Is it safe to assume that my bearing carrier is too long? or do i have to install the clutch lines, bleed them and see where the fork sits from there?. 

I can get a picture up if I am not making any sense along with amazing (not) paintshop work with red lines everywhere.

thanks in advance.

Figured while I'm here i'd ask another question,

For a push type clutch does "clutch fork free play" mean the amount of movement the fork has when pushed into the slave cylinder from its neutral position?

First time playing around with this clutch business so don't mind the scrub level of knowledge, trying to learn :-).

 

cheers.

      Rb26 expected power

      Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.
