Have to rebuild my transmission after my last clutch blew up on me, going to be doing a mazworx srvq swap, and need to covert from s15 to s14 clutch setup, can anyone confirm this is a good quality genuine clutch made for the s14(jdm 2L, not usdm 2.4L) setup? I know a lot of the “s14” clutch sets claim s14 but are actually for the 2.4 and not the 2, just want confirmation really, thank you

4449 update

I’ve redesigned my side stripes and my front cow catcher/plow, it has just shy of a plate gap between the bottom and the top of the rails. The second picture is my tender bogies, which use 4 custom wheels and 2 false wheels per bogie(false are center) and they are essentially identical aside from connection between train-tender/tender-carriage as the front has a liftarm style, the rear has a knuckle coupler, please send in your thoughts/ideas for upgrades/changes, I like to hear the feedback😊

Southern pacific 4449

I restarted a project I had originally started maybe 1.5 years ago, and did a full redesign(first 3 pics are original, last 3 are new) of the wheelsets, I had the nagging feeling I wanted to try air powered instead of motor power(pneumatics with a compressor) and I have an idea of turning 1-2 main drive axles into hidden valve cranks so they are not visible, I just want some tips for making it able to pump both forwards, and backwards, as I’ve never dealt with pneumatics before, I have a purchase of 2 modified 1x5 cylinders, 3 modified new style valves, 4 1x6 pumps, and 4m of black hose on the way(purchased from green gecko workshop). What do you guys think? Ps, the connecting rod setup is just temporary until I figure out the custom design I want, they will also be thin liftarm style for those who are curious, also parts will be purchased to build the exact model of the new wheelsets for testing at next paycheck. Cylinders as you can see are neatly tucked in behind the decorative main pistons and I might paint the yellow casing black in the future for more discrete looks, and I have upgraded the housing around it for more strength since these photos to link across the chassis both on top and underneath the cylinders to lock them fairly firmly in place, model is rough 1:48
