S14 With Neo Rb25 Drift Car.

[DCIEVE]

A friend is adapting a gforce with a hyd release bearing and tiny ex nascar tilton clutch, looks like a fair bit of work. How are you approaching the clutch/release bearing etc?

[Simon-S14]

using a hydralic release bearing also but still using my NPC clutch but with different spline on the disk. should be fairly straight forward

I'm keen to see the jerico 4 speed box conversion. I have been thinking about doing the same thing for a little while now. Except for circuit racing use!

Good job mate!

[Simon-S14]

Its certainly worthy of consideration that's for sure!

garage 7 is working on a sequential shifter kit for it which should be awesome to use hopefully

[Simon-S14]

some goodies rocked up

Interesting looking fan, details?

[Simon-S14]

check out GKtech.com.au

its suppose to flow 60% more air then a stock RB25 fan.. should be good!

[Miguelone]

Interesting, will be keen to see how it goes as it's a fair bit cheaper than a new genuine one.

Why the new clutch fan when your rad is going in the boot?

[Simon-S14]

i wont get that done in time for australia day drifts so sticking with the traditional set up until then

53 pages in 2.5 hours straight without blinking - very good/motivating read mate

Question, What killed your built rb26? The pic you posted doesn't load anymore

[Simon-S14]

nothing killed it as such but it didnt quite have the punch as the neo rb25 had (less compression) so i just went straight to a 30/26

thanks for reading

[Simon-S14]

well got my new bellhousing and thought i'd test fit... what do you know.. it doesnt fit correctly!

[kitto]

Well that sucks the wang...

Time to complain to seller of it?

[Simon-S14]

oh i will be... but they are shut arent they

man i hate this time of the year

[Simon-S14]

box bolts up to bellhousing spot on... measurements were perfect!

however it seems dellow have stuffed up in another way.. the input shaft doesnt protrude far enough out.. i measured it and compared to to a stock Rb box and its quite the difference

in this shot you can see the bolts up top and dowel holes line up.. but starter motor and bottom bolts do not.

Flat edge is bell housing face.. this is RB20 input shaft protrusion from the face 18mm

distance to start of spline from bellhousing face

RB20 box

total length of spline, from bell housing face on jerico box

distance input shaft spigot area is away from bellhousing face

Splne begining measurement from face

[Simon-S14]

more developments on bellhousing... looks like i can make it all work.. but with mods. custom spigot bush needs to be made, spline engagement will work no worries.

however the flywheel teeth foul the inside of the bellhousing!

LOL f**king hell they cocked this up in a big way

That does suck, normally happens on Oz though when your the first to try something, such a pity.

never mind... taking matters into my own hands and modifying the bell housing.

have i got any leg to stand on to ask for money back from dellow to cover the costs involved in making it work???
