LY Racer Turbo 310bhp....but more to come soon

You should get the gearbox internals cryogenicaly frozen mate whilst your at it.. Costs around £120 and increases tensile strength by around 400-600%

Most of the TL4 boxes break following some form of synchro wear/damage -gears themselves seem pretty durable

The cryogenic treatment I'm not a fan of as it produces conflicting results, also to quote machinery's handbook: "subzero treatment may sometimes cause cracking". Nitriding would be a good option on the gear teeth, depending on the cheese composition Renault used anything from 50-200% increase in fatigue life.

Group buy of synchros anyone? http://www.synchrotech-transmissions.com/Carbon_Synchros.html

tl4 already uses 3-part synchros on gears 1 & 2

What have you done to your gearbox to make it more durable for the power your running?

Nothing really, I run castrol syntrans but thats it. If i'm driving slowly I sometimes give it a blip on the throttle to go easier on the synchros when changing but other than that I just always make sure its in gear before booting it..

New fuel system+smaller supercharger pully=roughly 370...big fun it's in now!

 

[Yiannis197]

holy poo Mike, wtf!!!

Videos ASAP please!

 

[litchy]

Mike, its like a crack habit....

 

[Gez]

Why is there no proper vids

 

[MikeLYR27]

Coz I don't have any lol!

 

[MikeLYR27]

Got the car back today!! It's had a fuel system inc swirl pot and regulator, FULLY decated and a smaller pully on the supercharger! The result is 360bhp!! It's epic!!! Soooooo quick!! And pops and bangs like anything now it has no cats at all!!! Also got a scan gauge for it and getting my k tec solid engine and gearbox mounts put on soon! It's unreal, so quick it ploughs through the gears!

Vids to follow!

 

[Ashton]

360? Foooook!

Passenger ride please at How Fast....

Some good figures there Mike...I'm interested in what fuel system they used....
