We did something similar to this with an air shifted FSAE car back in 98. We removed 1st gear, ground the the original neutral switch bump off of the shift drum and added a new neutral bump in at...

I think you are going to find the behavior of this system to be very nonlinear. When you first start venting the cylinder you will see no motion for a time as the pressure drops from the...
For clutch control my school tried the 3 way valve with a restriced exhaust in the past, but there is a significant time delay issue that no one is mentioning here. When you set the exhaust...
I've purchased a batch of modified Strange Quick Releases to fit my paddle system. They are the splined style with a 4130 stub and have the same bolt pattern as the SPA and RaceTech units (three #10...
While on the subject of cyclinders I thought I would put a comment in about composite tanks. They are incredibly safe and 12 years olds everywhere run around with them on their backs. What is...
Try Sprocket Specialists, I haven't dealt with them in a few years, but they used to be very responisve and quick with custom requests or an off the shelf aluminum sprocket that you could easily...
Dan, I like your concept and it has me thinking. The idea for my part is to 'not' provide a built differential solution, but more of a starting point for schools to do there own. Kind of like my...
I'm considering making some alumninum dif housings for the Torsen provided 'University Special' It would be a 7075 forging that is heat treated, turned, machined with the features to hold the gears...

We used a staged downshift/clutch paddle setup that does this in 2000 at Cal Poly Pomona. I've iterated the paddle setup twice since then and I have some that I am selling. You can see pictures and...
How about a 'sticky' at the top like in other forums that instructs people to use the find feature and that also has a small paragraph declaring that the moderators will move obviously asked...
Just a follow up on my last post, that was the Ontario California office that I dealt with, I imagine their east coast office probably operates the same.

In 2000 Fluidyne made us a completely custom aluminum radiator for $250. I was left with the impression that was there standard radiator using one of their standard core sizes. Give them a try ...
Another option for teams using the Torsen diff is to get a bar with the output splines on each end and make your own CV Joints to fit GKN or Taylor tripods.
See...
If you are using solidworks I have AN bolts as configurable fasteners, don't have a spreadsheet though.

This is actually what I think daveff's point was. That ˜not so spectacular' 600 pound car with ugly wiring in 2000 ended up with fast lap of the day in Detroit and in England. It wasn't because the...
A guy on the Waterford Hills forum came up with a good low cost system, here is the link.

I think Marshal has the right idea. Torque steer is a noticable force felt in the steering wheel due to momentarily unbalanced forces trying to rotate the front uprights. In the rear it should only...

I was just wondering what happened to the superchargers, it looks like Turbodyne went under and I'd hate to see those units get melted down for scrap when they were a good size for the...

What do you know about Honeywell's supply of the little Turbodyne electric superchargers? Cal Poly Pomona used one in 2000 and I haven't seen one since?

Take a look at Susprog3d at http://www.bevenyoung.com.au/suswin.htm
They have a free trail version, I used it several years ago when in FSAE, the programmer is really quick on support and was...
I have two new splined bars for use with the FSAE torsen special, I've ordered a custom hob to make the goofy 68 degree teeth that audi uses in their tranny. You can see them at...

I've been carrying some airshifter parts good for FSAE cars at www.paradigmmotorsports.com
I can answer a few questions really quick, with a 12 ounce CO2 tank, you can get approximately 1400...
