Carbon fibre development

[Lionel]

Hi all,

As some of the other member and trader on the forum have started developing new parts and changing old parts for the Pulsar i thought we would try as well.

As the title of the post says we are looking to develop parts from carbon fibre for the pulsar.

I have been talking to a member of staff from a F1 team and we have come up with some parts that we can make at low cost.

Also after the topic where we were talking about carbon intake pipes i have been told that YES it can be done so we will also be doing these ASAP.

i am sending off a number of parts to be made in carbon:

parts list:

Power Steering pot
Intake pipe
Inter cooler piping
Standard inter cooler cover
Rock cover
Dash parts

Lionel,

What type of design will the intake pipe be ?

Will it have a flanged turbo fitment and Samco etc connection to the MAF ? So, true turbo to MAF ?

Also, will it be a 'blank' pipe, with no vacuum connections ?

how much roughly are we looking at for these parts a carbon rocker cover with a carbon spark plug cover would look 8)

 

[MINESGTIR]

I would be interested in :

rocker cover and dash parts.

i have carbon fibre spoiler on way from japan and have the bonnet already !!

 

[stevepudney]

I suspect Lionel means a spark plug cover not the whole rocker cover.

 

[GTIR-LOZ]

thought it was too good to be true:doh:

It will be the HOLE Rocker cover

Like the sound of these goodies Lionel, id be interested in a few odds and ends :-D

 

[Mr GTiR]

Door cards........?

 

[Lionel]

Yep we have been talking about this as well.

I will be adding pics and info to this post as we get parts sorted.

Plz bear with me on this as it is not going to be done over nite - it will take time for the R&D to be done etc but once we have the parts you will all love them as we have some awesome parts being made.

 

[marcymarc]

Good old Lionel, you gotta love him

 

[pulsarboby]

i want a carbon fibre body shell please but dont wanna pay more than fifty quid for it! please can you deliver it too for that amount?

 

[marcymarc]

carben fibre intercooler piping that would be ace!!! keep me well posted on that please Lionel

50quid!:shock: id want two for that, plus a forged engine and quaife:lol:

 

[marcymarc]

Can i just ask a quick question please

If you had carbon intercooler pipe would it still benefit from lagging?? like you lot have been doing lately.


Or would the properties of carbon fibre alone give sufficient insulation


thats better ;-)

 

[Mr GTiR]

Lionel, i have a spare set of door and rear quarter carsd if you want me to donate these? I can send them down with the spoiler.

From what iv been told you would not need to LAG the pipe work. As when we make the pipeing we would add a resin that would allow the pipe to take very hi temp and not suffer from heat soak.

Carbon P/S reservoir's gotta be tricky?

 

[Lionel]

Nope one of the fast and easy`ist things to make

 

[jameswrx2]

blimey, wouldn't of even thought it was possible as I've never heard of one before?

it's the whole reservoir right? not just a cover?
