Yeah but why do my own leg work when someone else can do it for me??

I couldn't find it on eBay either so it had to have been custom.

Thanks for the tip! ;-)

In order to take full advantage of the paddle shift system, particularly on downshifts, I needed to get as much weight out of the flywheel and clutch as possible. Modulation wasn't much of a concern since I only need the pedal to get moving from a stop. A carbon clutch would have been sweet but well out of my price range at this time.

I decided to go with a Tilton 5.5" OT-III HD triple disc metallic, along with their hydraulic release bearing. This is mated to a billet "supalite" flywheel from TTV Racing in the U.K. I had never heard of these guys before but I learned they make the flywheels for a LOT of factory race teams. Everything from the BTCC Subaru Levorgs to the BMW M4 GT4 and even F3 and historic F1. They were extremely accommodating (as was Tilton) and can make pretty much anything you ask for.

The flywheel is 3.5kg (7.7 lbs) and the clutch assembly is also 7.7 lbs, for a total combined weight of only 15.4 lbs! For comparison, the Exedy Twin that's in the car now is around 33 lbs for clutch and flywheel. This savings is going to make a huge difference in downshift speeds, not to mention improving acceleration.

Adding to the list of questions...

I just skimmed the thread looking for info of what your using for crank/cam whatever position tracking and didnt see anything. I spoke with Franz recently and he touched on how wonderful the oem pieces work (read: sarcasm) and before I go reinvent the wheel and build my own I may as well see what the big guys are doing.

Are you using the oem stuff? A crank trigger wheel? some combination of the above?

Ballin on a budget mate! The Tilton metallic clutches aren't too bad, around the same cost as an Exedy twin. The true ballers use carbon!

Still using the oem pieces, as that's what the motec software is written for. We could use a custom trigger wheel in theory and rewrite the software for it but haven't seen the need. The oem stuff works totally fine.

I am proud to announce a new partnership with Cosworth! They have offered to supply their intake manifold to start with, but I will be adding some more of their parts later in the season, such as a billet crankshaft. Really thrilled to partner with such a legendary name in motorsport, and I'm looking forward to seeing some power gains with the manifold. More to come once it gets installed!

In the meantime, here's a pic of me hard parked at Boxerfest last weekend.

I got to check out the car out on sunday and it looks great! Theres always speed bumps along the road but im glad its turned out as well as it did, im probably one of the few people here who've seen this thing through the entire process from when IAG first got their hands on it, ive been to the shop a bunch as well as peeking at it from all the events they drag it around to, good work!

Thanks for following, hoping to move forward with the development and start getting some serious results soon!

You mean the $5000 tomei ITB one was too expensive?


Aside from *some* stuff on the engine I'm genuinely struggling to come up with something you HAVEN'T done to this car now the sequential is on the way.

I'm interested to know why you chose the fuel you did, was it just an endurance/capacity thing? I would have thought 100% ethanol would be the way to go for the cooling benefit.

Hey, if Tomei called me up and offered a sponsorship deal I wouldn't turn it down but so far no luck I think I'll get great results with Cosworth though, and they have some other stuff in their catalog that I will take advantage of later on.

I'd say that every part of the car has been touched in some way but there's still a lot left that can be done. Going forward, I think aero development is where the most will be gained.

The Ignite Red is really amazing stuff, I can't see the need to run anything else. It's effectively E90, 114 octane, and if you buy it by the 55 gallon drum, it works out to $5 something a gallon which is a steal for race gas. Hell, it's cheaper than 93 octane at the trackside pump! There's a good reason it is so widely used in time attack and formula drift.

Yes aero's one of those things that benefits more the faster the rest of your car is. Woo physics.

What non-aero stuff do you still have planned? About the only things I can really think of left are engine headwork, maybe some kind of abs wizardry? and I can't remember what you did for diffs but I'm sure they were changed

Where are you finding it at that price, Dan? When I looked before it was something like $9 a gallon in 55g drums....

Yes, using a quaife front and carbonetic rear diff. Definitely going to do some head porting next time they're off. Bosch ABS is in the future plans. At this point, once the sequential goes in, I just want to spend some time focusing on getting the setup dialed in and fine tuning.

This is of great interest to me. I am using custom tuned OS Giken diffs. Stock center diff with DCCD Pro controls. With my use of the 430WHP setting on 11 inch wide Goodrich G-Force R1 tires I felt like I was getting some slight slippage (as in slight RPM rise) in a couple spots on tight uphill turns. I suspect the center diff but don't know if that's realistic. I also might not be at full lockup on the diff controller. Do not think there's any way it's the clutch slipping.
My OS Gikens:
Front diff: "1.0". The one way settings are 3 degrees on deceleration (effectively zero) and 45 degrees on acceleration side. Lock timing is 184 kgs.
Rear diff: "1.5". 25/38 degrees, cam angle and 376 kgs. negative resistance to lock.
.
Why, for you, the choice of the two different brands of diffs?

The idea was that the helical front would be better in helping the front end tuck in on corner entry. I really am pretty happy with the diff setup, although I'm still playing around with the DCCDPro settings. I'm not sure exactly how the Carbonetic rear is set up from the factory but I haven't changed it at all. I'm not getting any wheel spin, even at 620whp, and the car rotates pretty well. Still a little bit of mid corner understeer to dial out but I haven't gotten enough time in the car to really work on setup yet.

Same here with the DCCD Pro. I've yet to go through the process of finding a level spot for the car and zeroing the dual axis G sensor. Did you zero everything per their instructions?
And you're running the stock center diff??

I gotta go back and read through this thread. Haven't been on this forum in yrs. Just tryin to see what's happening in various parts of the scene.

I did at one point but I think I need to do it again. Some things have moved around since then, ride height changed, etc.

Currently running stock center diff, apparently some of the upgraded center diffs don't work so well on tarmac.
