You could do a video on how to make your makeshift mill. That thing is a wonder!

Lovin the build. And the fact that your building it rather than buying custom parts makes it that much more interesting.

You're fearless. A "real" machinist would cringe at this - but then again a that same machinist isn't building a racing car from scratch in his garage. Anyone who whines they don't have the right tools - watch this guy.

You really need to use steel for this, aluminium will not hold up over time. Trust me. The shearing force is tremendus when doing high power cluch dumps. Also you need to balance that spacer or you will kill the bearings.

It's a race car, longevity isn't a huge concern.

I know it's way to late to mention this but I feel like the extra weight on the rotating parts of the drivetrain might have some noticeable effect on the peformance. It seems to make more sense to just get a machine shop to make a custom flywheel or flex plate. I understand you're trying to keep to OEM parts for cost of repairs but flywheels don't usually blow up as often as other parts especially if they are custom made for the application

This is one of the most in depth builds I've seen in a long time,love what you're doing-look forward to seeing the progress!cheers Johnny.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video! I'm excited for the main adapter plate video!

Love your Engineering SK, looking forward to seeing the Bell Housing adapter.

I am so hooked on this build! Thanks for sharing it with us

This was very clever of you, not only with the makeshift mill but how little tooling you used to make the adapters. I wouldve tossed the parts on the lathe to level them out, then drill and bore out the center hole THEN put it on the mill. This looks way more efficient while maintaining necessary tolerances. Great video

Once again we get completely awesome content from you. Keep up, wish you a great success!

You had the balls to use a mini lathe. I joked to my friend that I would do the same for my FW adapter and then I see this. LoL

Excellent work and ingenuity. Well done

Man you blow my mind each time i get to your channel

Man your videos are crazy way beyond any other KZread build

You're the man, this build is awesome!

Wow this is areal custom build, congrats mate!

Top notch content, really digging these details. Keep it up!

Very impressive!! Can’t wait for the next video👍

If you keep going like this in 10 years from now you will build the next " Koenigsegg "

Nice work man.

well done mate thats awesome

that's an awesome ghetto CNC machine you got going there with the motor xD

i still remember the pictures along the story from al cosentino about the aluminium flywheel that exploded and nearly cut of his foot...., flywheel and clutch should be as near as possible to the block imho.

You sir are a God.

That's awsome wish I had the skills to do this for my 6g72

Perfect man!

Nice work there, just a suggestion, when making your own flywheels and adaptors a kevlar blanket or a steel scattershield would be good insurance, or even just weld some 6mm plate where your feet/ankles are.. just in case. Have seen cars when they let go and it's not pretty.

What kind of milling machine do you use?

Will you make the same adaptor for me so I can fit 350z to my c43??

Liking the build so far. Question: Why are you using aluminium for the adapters? Is it strong enough? The crankshaft and flywheel are made of steel alloy, right? Thanks. Cheers

dude, you amazing.

Any particular reason why the 350z transmission instead of something more common like T56?

The choice to make such a large adapter is interesting. Most people choose to machine down the bellhousing and then make an adapter from there. This lets the input shaft sit in the original bearing position, although the bearing does need to be changed. Won't this solution introduce quite a large amount of flex between the transmission and engine casting? Also you've still got to machine a huge adapter to go between the bellhousing and the engine casting it looks like.

Well, it will make more sense in the next video. The bell housing adapter is also going to be solid mounted to the chassis. Its a part of the structure of the car the way the chassis is designed, so the transmission had to be spaced out.

Speechless.

May I suggest next time you need to machine an adapter like this to collaborate with a KZread machinist, like abom79. I suspect there's a way to do this in one piece (not two).

great work bro, btw i wonder can you show us how to dynamically balance the whole crank & flywheel assembly with only basic tools ? cheers

@daos3300

5 жыл бұрын

fyuni tek it's easy, you need just one basic tool - a crank balancing machine.

Won't the adaptors just be another mechanical part that would fail, more undue stress?

I don't think you understand the Danger of the possibility of the flywheel shaking its self loose, & exiting.. Did you check for runout ?? All that extra weight is going to add to inertia. If its not balanced its going vibrate like hell. Probably work ok if it were just for show. Not the way i would do it. The right way would be too make a new flywheel, then get the engine rotating Assembly balanced along with the new flywheel separately neutral balanced.

Hey man! So I actually own an SL55 AMG and I desperately want to swap to a manual. I'm planning on doing a build similar to yours but I want to keep the sl55 frame and convert to a Misha Wide Body I'm planning on converting SBC>Standard Brakes/No ABS/ESP ABC>Electronically Adjustable Coilovers Central Vaccum Locking>Electric Locks Power Top>Targa Top I want to run my car off of a simple standalone ECU and remove all of the Mercedes Modules I want to have my setup be as analogue as possible to save weight and increase chassis rigidity, but also to simplify my build/maintenance. Is there any way you could give me resources on how to fabricate these parts myself, or ideally sell me the required materials to convert my 722.6>CD009? I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!

Isn't all that extra rotating mass bad for the performance of the engine?

Do you expect any additional wear on the crank bearings with the flywheel/clutch sitting further out from the engine? Great channel btw, subbed.

Thanks. The weight of the clutch and flywheel is pretty negligible compared to the type of forces main bearings go through in their normal application, so shouldn't be a problem

This center adapter approach opens up sooo many cans of worms…..( in a good way)….now I’m all charged up to make an adapter to connect my tiny 2 banger kubota diesel to my Suzuki 5 speed. Amen…..another approach would be to use two mild steel plates. Drill the patterns add bolts and weld the plates.

Am I seeing a compression cutter (ie up and down) bit to cut aluminium? If yes, those are for wood only. If not... well sorry. Otherwise, great stuff.

Have you considered welding the bellhousing adapter to the actual bellhousing instead of bolting it on both the bellhousing and the engine side?

After you make this work you should come up with an adapter kit and sell it. I’m sure tons of people want to do a manual swap but don’t have the knowledge.

Great work, since the adapter is a big piece of metal which is connected directly to the engine I think it should be rotationaly balanced, and those bolts need some kind of thread locker. Just my opinion, and I love your videos.

@xfmotorsports

Yes, I did use thread lock on the bolts. The adapter is only 1.5kg and symmetrical so should be okay without balancing. Same reason why supercharger pulleys or idler pulleys aren't balanced

Why don't you use a transmission from a m112 engine?

What is the 350z bolt pattern?

Where are you located? What is the best way to get a hold of you?

are you going to balance the adapter incl. flywheel and pressure plate? you should be! what alloy did you use? you need to build it with certal. otherwise i dont think you will have long time fun with it.

The adapter its self is very light, just 1.5kg so I don't think balancing that would be a concern. I might balance the aftermarket flywheel if it seems off. It had no balancing marks on it. Aluminum grade was 4032 I believe
