nup,
no mention of S series in either sites
hello
couple this with all possible diff ratios and we might be onto something... make a speed calculator.
im sure norbie could integrate it into his toyota diff database.
need to know;
-max engine rpm
-gearbox
-diff ratio
- wheel size/rolling diameter
hello
Yep norbies new thing has this already....(not released to the general public yet!)Originally Posted by ViPeR_NiPPleX
It can make speeds in gear graphs for different boxes / wheel / diff combos
*waits for someone to post link...*
Cheers
Wilbo
Plenty of speed calculators around, i have not used a net one for years but ill look!
Took all of 30 seconds to find the first one!

the maths is so simple its not funny, im sure even you could do it mick
but having drop down menus to select diff ie F292, then another drop down menu for gearbox, ie W58 and then graph them all is another thing.
that speed calculator you posted only works with one gear
hello
The calculator is the useful bit for people i thought! as i said i have not used one on the net for years, as i use Hewland one for gearsets.
You mean to choose diff ratios to suit what they want? not much component choosing as there are only a few gearboxes one would use??
the aim is to produce something like this.
hello
My tool does all of the above, including the pretty graph.
Note: still in beta. Also I've developed a new feature which calculates the correct speedo drive gears required for any wheel/gearing combination, but I haven't pushed it up to my web site yet.

Thats pretty, be some thing new to me as everything is normally calculators not graphs!Originally Posted by brett_celicacoupe
Very pretty.
the graph tells you a 1000 things a calculator cant.
i would have thought someone on a race team like you would have used them religiously.
you can go further and line in each gear to see whether the gears keep the engine in the powerband
hello
Use a combo for that!
I will copy a couple of pages of the Dallara F3 book, its the best one ive seen and would be nice in software format.
useful to have the gear ratios in the one thread so searching finds them as well as Norbie's database.
what about c52?
