Can you make a 20b+20b?

Ok so I guess the best thing to ask now is how have guys linked 2 13b together?

From what I understand, they taper the end of one shaft, and insert it into a matching hole bored into the end of the other shaft, and use a key to connect them (like the front hub to e-shaft, etc). I imagine you could also spline them, but that would be harder to machine.

I don't really know anything about the subject, but those seem to make sense to me.

Let me see if i can dig up an evil forum thread from a while ago that touched on this subject...
EDIT: Yeah, here it is http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=697696 some good insight in there.

Thanks for the link some good stuff on there...

Now as for machining it don't matter how hard it would be. If it can be done and be done better then that's the way it will be done. With the power that this would be making (1000+ ) there is no need to make the E-shaft out of anything but the strongest mineral I can get my hands on even if it adds a bit of weight.
