NRG Innovations Quick Release Hub

[Blurred Talon]

I'm going to be buying a quick release steering wheel set up from NRG. They've got 2 versions, the regular 2.5 which is about 3" long and the thin version which is 1.25" long. I'll also be using there thin hub.

What I want to know is if anyone is using either of these and which puts the wheel closest to stock.

My friend has one on his delsol, il try to get pics of it if i can, but the 3 inch with the thin hub comes out to be closest to stock, but thats on a delsol.

It depends what kind of steering wheel you have.

Anthony, are you going to use the factory 2G steering wheel with it?

 

[Blurred Talon]

Anthony, are you going to use the factory 1G steering wheel with it?

No I'm actually using an NRG wheel too.
It's there 350mm Sport Steering wheel with a 3" dish.

 

[housegsx]

How tall are you? Right now I am running a wheel with no dish and just the adapter, no spacer or quick release. I'm happy with where it is at but it could be a little closer. But 3 inch dish + 3 inch quick release would be too close for me. Mind you, I am 6'1" but I do like to sit close to the wheel, as close as I can get while still having my feet and legs comfortable with the pedals.

If it was me I'd by the thin version and then add spacers as needed.

Agreed.

On my 1G, my quick release hub was so thick, I opted for a 1.5" dish steering wheel to keep it from being too close to me.

Anybody know what the dish of the factory 2G steering wheel is?

 

[Blurred Talon]

I'm 6'4" (yea I don't fit in a DSM too great ).
I know my last car it had a regular length hub and disconnect and it was really close. Wheel had no dish though.

 

[housegsx]

Well the dish will obviously move the wheel even closer to your body.

Damn! At 6'4" I think I would definitely go for the thin version.

 

[Blurred Talon]

hahaha, alright, thanks for the info.

It's thanks to my height that I don't look at heavy as I am

 

[99gst_racer]

You basically want the thickness of the disconnect plus the dish of the aftermarket steering wheel, to equal the dish of the factory wheel.

I'd be willing to bet that you'd want the least amount of dish in the aftermarket wheel as possible.

 

[housegsx]

Paul, he's also going to need to consider the offset of the adapter. Unless the quick disconnect or that NRG wheel has the Mitsubishi spline count built in.

 

[99gst_racer]

There's an adapter too? I must not be familiar with the NRG disconnect. With another piece in the mix, I would definitely recommend the least amount of steering wheel dish as possible.

I welded the coupler for my disconnect directly to my steering column shaft, so there's no adapter.

 

[housegsx]

Yep, I'm just not sure how the NRG one works. Just putting it out there.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Thanks guys, I'll buy both Thin ones and see how it goes from there.

Let me know how this all goes for you. I want to install the NRG short setup before I take my car to college so I can always take my wheel with me .

 

[Blurred Talon]

Will do man.
I dunno when it will be in the car though.

I'm using the momo hub with nrg quick release. I got used to the length being so close to me so I decided not to buy the thin hub.

Here's a picture I found from a couple years ago.

After seeing those pictures I'll definitely go with the thin hub and quick release. The dished wheel will put it a bit closer but I can live with that.

 

[DSMnOOb00]

Where can I find a thin hub? I was tolled by a eBay seller that the nrg thin hub will not work with the nrg quick release... Any one have an all nrg wheel set up?

Thx

 

[Blurred Talon]

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

 

[hurricanecris24]

Would this work for an evo 9 steering wheel

 

[Blurred Talon]

No, you need to cut the Evo hub out and weld in a 1G hub.

 

[DSMnOOb00]

Idk this is what I was told by the guy from eBay:


"NRG short hub will not work with NRG QR - ltbautosport"

any comments or thoughts?
