Thanks Brad for sharing, I am just starting to drag race, I plan to do a couple of seasons in Pro Eliminator to go rounds and get really good at leaving. Thanks again showing how to get better!!!!!
i agree, but the oem is not sufficient for the high powered applications. I have spoken with Fluidampr about the issue. They just will not redsign for correct tolerances. ATI Dampers can be made but unfortunately they want you to purchase a minimum of 10.
Adding that heat probably made the bond twice as strong. I used to brush on some slow cure epoxy over the repair and then hit it with a heat gun till the epoxy was ultra thin then applied the carbon and let it cure in a warm area. The thinner you can get the epoxy by heat the more it will flow into places it never could with room temperature, you can even try a test on some window glass, heat one layup till its super thin epoxy then another lay up over room temp. After cured the colder layup prep one will pop right off and the other heat prep one will be on there forever, nothing will take it off except grinding or sanding.
I have a small crack on my cold air intake which is carbon fiber and I'm going to put a small piece of the fiber inside because it broke through the weave Do you know if it will adhere good enough and not break loose and gets sucked into my intake I'm so nervous about it lol
@@bradmcbrideracing2765 i have a big gash in my carbon fiber hood that was damaged in a crash, any good ideas how to fix it? i was thinking of buying some forged carbon fiber shreds and just mixing epoxy, packing it full and then putting a clamp over it till its dried.
That should work. If the gash is large it needs to be filled. It sounds like you have the right idea. I would soak th shreds in resin first like you see in the video. Then pack it in. If you do not have some wax cloth, you may be able to use some aluminum foil to cover the repair til it dries. Or if the surface is flat, just use a piece if metal.
What I'm asking is why not just supply that same tap and not block the end of main galley run? Oil pressure is oil pressure. If you are supplying oil from both ends of the galley is that a bad thing?
I only block off the galley that crosses theu the block to the other side. I am not blocking anything off in the main galley. Then i just add a supply line to the rh side galley. This by passes the cross over within the block which allows the front journals to have pressure that equals the rest of the journals.
@@bradmcbrideracing2765 My reasoning is thar you would supply the mains from both directions therefore giving you a even pressure across all of the mains and having the head supply increased. I know what you do works, it just seems it would be better if you put oil pressure to both ends of the main galley and have a source supply for the head....just my thought. .Keep up the videos. I have learned a lot!!
I’ve got to question 1.I have a a4 aeb want to go vr swap. But the cable throttle body I’m look to go stand alone to runs the aeb and swap to a vr6 turbo so a good stands low to do this . I look at the EMU BLACK
