Guest Anonymous Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 I located the perfect hydraulic pump for my clutch pedal-less setup. It can be found at: www.honorpump.com.tw/1.html Model #100. ***.05 in^3/rev fluid flow (@4000 RPM this = 200 in^3/min) ***210 bar std pressure capacity (3045 psi) It only weighs .99kg (~2.4 lbs). This is going to be sooo cool!!! SpencZ MonsterZ Cont. http://members.xoom.com/SpencZ/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 Man I want that system when you get it worked out (for a T-56?). Patentable I would think. What are you doing for the control electronics for the clutch and gearshifts? Are you still thinking about paddle type shifters? Cool!

Guest Anonymous Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 It should be awesome..if you think it is patentable maybe I should shut up about it!! Naaahhhh... It will be for the T56 but I don't know why you couldn't use it for any manual transmission??? I'm thinking at this point that I will want to rip through the gears with a conventional gearshifter. The button for the clutch will most likely be located on the shifter knob (maybe a B&M or Hurst T Grip w/nitrous button) so shifting will merely be a "push button, shift, release button" operation. I'm also thinking of tapping into the speed shifter and tachometer so when the car speed goes to 0 the clutch will release but when the Revs go up the clutch will automatically reactivate (just in 1st gear though). Electricla engineering is not my field...any EE's want to collaborate???? SpencZ MonsterZ Cont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYRON Posted May 8, 2000 Share Posted May 8, 2000 So your are you going to do it? what is the plan man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 8, 2000 Share Posted May 8, 2000 The plan is as follows: -Call Centerforce clutch to find out the length of their throwout bearing arm and clutch depression force -find the appripriate slave cylinder -buy hydraulic pump -Source a 2 inlet/2 outlet solenoid valve capable of operating with 2000psig pressures -Source an electronically variable residual pressure valve -Fabricate engine bracket for pump -fabricate hydraulic lines -deal with giant electrical clusterf#*%.... quite a plan huh??? More later SpencZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYRON Posted May 9, 2000 Share Posted May 9, 2000 SpencZ, What about a gear reduction on an electric motor? have it funcion like a servo in a model airplane. think of how your rack and pinion works on the steering box in your zcar. I know that a servo the size of a half dollar can produce over 48oz of torque. I dont remember if you were one of the guys into remote controlled hobbies, if you can take a close look at how an R/C system works. It may give you some more ideas. I know that with the new transmiters you can change the throw,direction,and change the exponential rate of the servo at the touch of a button...check it out! Futaba is the name of the transmiters that i used to use all the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 15, 2000 Share Posted May 15, 2000 Don't know how worried you are about price, but here are a couple of surplus place to check that have a lot of hydraulics: QuandraCorp http://www.quadracorp.com/inventory.htm and Surplus Center (800-488-3407) don't think they have a website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
