Update 7.......09/12/10.

Team Discussions about re positioning SR20 closer to the centre of the car.


We discussed moving the SR 20 engine closer to the centre of the S15 for better weight distribution. It’s always advisable to position the engine/gearbox (heaviest components) nearer to the centre of the vehicle if possible. This will reduce the vehicle's moment of inertia and makes it easier and faster to turn the vehicle to a new direction. Mounting the engine in towards the middle instead of the front of the vehicle puts more weight over the rear tires so they have more traction and provide more assistance to the front tires in braking the vehicle. As a result, vehicle stability, traction is naturally improved when turning, braking, and accelerating.

To achieve this we would have had to dry sump engine, new engine mounts etc. At this late stage we decided to cancel this idea as it obviously involves a lot of work.

Instead to balance the weight distribution a bit better over the S15 we decided to position the driver further back than normal. This would involve a few minor modifications....installation of paddle box and extension of gear stick/steering wheel.





Above shows the blanking of the standard opes for the clutch/brake servos. We did not weld blank plates in place just encase we require them at a later stage if pedal box didn’t work out.





From reading the article below it seems Nigel Colfer is running similar pedal box so they must be a good buy.

Good to hear there a great job, yes I got cylinders/ reservoirs with them. Be careful when purchasing because there are many different types. I got the one that mounts on a flat surface but if you have long legs you might need the one that mounts on the sloped part of the foot well. Mark got one type and I got the other. I PM you price.
