TLicense Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Do those Accufab type Clamps actually work? I've heard so many reports regarding I take it you mean the wiggins clamp on the throttle body? If so yes they definitely work. Pricey though, I should imagine that one they've got on there would have cost well into the £100 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Yeah I knew they were some other company, I'm sure wiggins brought them out first, Accufab have improved upon the idea with quick release clamps I heard they leak as the Weld Ferrules can deform slightly when welding to the Alu pipe, they have to be sat side by side to make sure they contract flat - mess it up first time its time to start again Almost like a V-Band clamp but as there is no heat to make the join your more susceptable to leaks Their pretty popular in the U.S on forced induction cars, but quite a few have went back to the rubber couplers and Mikalor Clamps through bad experiences Edited August 13, 2008 by bolarbag (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 That is a rather impressive machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Never had any problems with them at all, they are aircraft certified and used on F1 and similar things. The wear parts (the O rings) can be replaced in seconds. Brilliant things, if the budget permits. Don't get carried away with hard pipes though, all engines on compliant mounts need a surprising amount of movement in the hoses that attach them to chassis mounted ancillaries. Race cars don't normally have any compliance in engine mounts, so they can use fairly rigid piping set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fish Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 looks pretty impressive that I imagine it will clock so very quick times aswell !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 anyone care to estimate the best time this car should be capable of Its gotta be high 7s!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 im going Mid 7's. The thing is, the car has been built by Webster Race Engineering and they build 8000bhp dragsters and the like, so theyre experts in getting power onto the track. So that, mixed with the rather impressive engine (1400-1500bhp) is going to make one seriously competitive car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 how do these "guestimated" low 7 second times compare to the quickest time a yank car has run ? it would be good to see a UK car challenge them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkXGdc3o3ag surely a car like this is going to need a lot of development before it becomes a mature design, you would not expect to make a car like this and run 7 seconds on its first run out of the box, it might be next year before it really gets in the groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
