Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

Why not use the subaru electronic DBW pedal and wire that in? Or does this card read from that electronic pedal? I have one of those pedal assemblies in my basement if you need any info from it.

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

From my research I think the Subaru throttle system needs the ECU, also it functions on a single throttle were I need to control 6 of. For that reson the BMW actuator will be better, more power.

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

Okay got the throttle running on the test bench, so I will have to install it on the can later.

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

Just finished a balance bar that attaches to the brake booster. This means that we can adjust the brake balance between front and back wheel.

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

The project will continue but I will no longer be posting on this forum as I have had enough of some memeber.

Just to second this, does anyone know a forum that Tony hangs out on now? He's got some awesome projects going and I'm sure plenty that can benefit this community. It would be great to see how he's doing.

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

Hi Guys,
Most of the time I hang out on this forum
http://www.ozclubbies.com.au/
You have to regrister and you need to answer a question which is to do with a Lotus that was built to drive on the road and has been famous for 50 years. I find the forum good because there are a buch of guys that are experianced with engine and building your own car. Currently I am building this you can folow the build on he forum also me getting beatten up because I want to do things my way. At this time the engine in it is a Subaru 1.8l single overhead cam and 5 speed box. Due to the short stroke and big bore of the engine we are hoping to get it to rev to 10 to 13,000 rpm and develop some were north of 250hp. The build will have a total weight of around 500kg so it will be something like 2kg per Hp and be regristered for road use as well. I have got rods and pistons for the EG33 development that will give a compression ratio of 13.5:1 also pretty sure that we will get the EG33 to develop over 400hp Na may even get closer to 500. You never know the EG33 may end up in the build yet its just that the 1.8l and gearbox is coming in at 100kg for the lot. Anyway come join us on the other forum when ever you feel inclined

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

All,
For what it's worth, the OZClubbies site that Tony is on might just be full of more "characters" than the SVX Network
Cheers,
Bill

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

about 2 years ago i sold my SVX, so i dont get back to this forum much.

however i had this same idea and was going to do it in an SVX but instead opted for an older GL coupe. and sold the SVX rather than cut it up.

I still used a EG33 from the junk yard. built a manifold to adapt an Eaton M90 Super charger to it, i opted for a 5 speed rather than the auto. (makes it much more fun to drive). and i am running a full stand alone Link G4 Extreme.

well here it is. it has been up and running for about 2 years now. took it to the drag strip and put down a 13.9 @ 101mph. on 205mm street tires, hard to keep them from spinning. on a dyno jet she put down 254RWHP and 270RWTQ.

Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.

SuberDave that is one hell of a build, a job well done. Is there any chance of getting a copy of your Link G4 program as I am using the same ECU please.

What have you set as your maximum revs?

Tony
