Andrew's engine swap (pics)

Well, you can actually do it with a B-nut(aka sleeve), which would be a Female fitting.
If you do an AN tube fitting, it will be a male(just like the stock fitting on our cars, just AN threading!)

waiting to see this up and going..

KMS told me they're (seriously) planning to ship out Monday.
Unfortunatly I can't throw it in the car right away though. I have to install the new water pump(they wanted to charge $100 to install their's!), attach the Alternator, dizzy, mounts, etc.

And after a while of breaking it in and driving around I'm gonna have to pull the trans off and install the new clutch.(The reason I don't install it right away is that I want to break in the motor on the racetrack, but it's not recommended to spin a brand new clutch past 4k or so... right?}

It's coming along. I've also got to get that fitting on the MC taken care of.

Uhh, I've never heard of not spinning a new clutch over 4k. Is it some sort of specially sprung race clutch? I'm pretty sure that it doesnt matter how high you rev a new clutch. Why are you breaking in the motor at the racetrack?

To properly seat the piston rings.

It's an Exedy OEM replacement clutch. I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal, but my buddy mentioned something about it.
I DO know that I'll probably have to adjust it every once in a while, but idk about the whole rpm-limit thing. I was just going by what he said.

Hmm... now you've got me curious. research time I guess.

Ouch man, that cuts deep.
I thought you just had to keep the revs down to break rings in properly (which you can do on the street)

Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power

Sorry bro, that was the last thing I copied/pasted, so it was the thing on my 'clipboard'! haha my bad.

I'm such an idiot... my bad!

that just seems like it would be soo wrong... but who knows.. i'm not the mechanic

Actually the way he explains it, it makes sense. VERY interesting. I had never heard of this before.
Well, this will make my break in much more fun

Thats what I'm thinkin!!! Instead of holding back for 500 miles... you get to dog it all the time! who knew it's actually GOOD for the motor to rev it up at first!?

Sounds VERY backwards!!!

Does anybody know about the whole clutch deal?
Can I safely rev a brand new Exedy OEM replacement clutch up to ~7k?
(won't take my motor up that high since it's un-tuned.)

you can also break it in on the dyno that is what alot of people do now

If the next dyno day at the local shop corresponds with when I plan on running it, I just might do it that way. (Thats what Formby recommended me)

the clutch needs to be broken in for 500mls... do the break in and then do the clutch.

That what I thought I'd have to do.
guess my buddy was right.
thx homie

btw, my thread is going insane with visiting #'s.
Klyph's catchin up quick with his crazy project too!!!


I just want to thank everybody for they're support!!!

Woot!

my friend just did a swap to a b16 w/that clutch and he took it to 7200 first night no problem

yet lol

i can get you on the that dyno on the low low

james wouldnt mind helping you out. even if we never have another dyno day

That would be awsome. How much is the normal going rate?

I want to break it in on the track, but I definatly want to get it on a dyno!

i did a excedy stage 1 clutch and light weight flywheel on my b16, i took it up to 8000 the first night. and i havent had any problems. that was 6 months ago.

i was always told not to leave hard or ride it hard for the first 500-750 miles.

once in gear you can go up in rp... its the dumping thats bad
