Easy way to adjust. Ace ma225 cheap used and new on eBay. I use it direkt on the clutch lever but if you use clutch between shifts it's better on the pedal with fixture lever.
Old Shool Washington anti shocker sold from gene berg in the old days.

Johan dyrillius from sweden si going to send me his dampner in exchange for a couple of beers is we ever meet again. (He used to hold the worldrecord time for 1600 201m dragracing for a few months untill crushkiller took it back yesterday)





The bracket will be a fun project.

Greetz!

He is going multiple disc slipper clutch I bet.
Good to know he went that fast with such an old school tool. But his record was 1/4 mile 1600 challenge PA class. Crush killer was faster than that 201m 1,5 years ago. Very interesting what all these guys will do this year. Crush killer crew doing alot. And are not reachable anymore. Methanol, alu con rods, big valves and roller camshaft. And good tracks. Johan could give you some good tips I bet, with his buggy experience. Do you have some good tracks in Belgium and around. Would love to see more places, tracks in Germany are not that good.

No belgium doesnt have a track, clastres in the north of france is the closest.

And johan doesnt drive with this piston delay setup. He has pneumatic style shifter.

Btw,

Getting close to assembling the engine again.

Cam came in friday,
Lifters are in stock
Oteva90 valve springs coming in today or tomorrow.

The kit is done!

Added a fuse 15amps and a toggle switch to turn it on and off because I don´t want the system working at the 14psi map.

The 21psi map will only be for the strip.

220hp is more than enough for the streets.

I´m prepping the alloy intake tubes for paint.
Going from gloss black to red, the same as I used at the wheels:

Nice work Ruben

Thanks, it needs another 2 or 3 layers of paint but we´re getting there

I modded the fan´s so they sit closer to the intercooler and be more efficient.



My clutch dampner came in the mail also:

Version 1.0

What else to do, cooling thins a light scrub to rough the old paint from 3 years ago and 3 to 4 light layers of gloss black.



Oh and after the first package of oteva 90´s valve springs got lost in shipping, JPM sent a new set.

New cam will be ready by end of next week.

So the engine might be ready by the end of the month or so..



Cleaned up the end-castings too. Lost of dust and stuff.

Interested to see how that clutch dampener works for you!
