The inlet is 345mm from the valve opening to the tip of the trumpet. Thats what I designed it to be.

 

Hopefully it performs like I have modelled.

 

Still need to shave the tensioner a bit more so it tightens fully, need about 3mm more movement, but that's easy to do.

 

Need to get to wiring it, medicine man, feel like a challenge? :laff:

Finished modding the tensioner today, so now I have the appropriate tension.

 

I had to dremel a clearance for a small bolt on the back of the tensioner itself a bit extra to allow it to move farther up the front of the motor. Still want to make a better bracket to hold the tensioner bolt end more securely, but it works fine for now.

 

I also got a call that my pipe has been welded up for the oil pan, and also they have made the cooling pipe I need to transfer the water from the exhaust to inlet side. So far so good.

Just went and trial fitted the coolant tube, I have it back at the shop now being flared, mounting tabs fitted and a bleed tap fitted to the highest point. This makes it possible to run the water inlet to the motor on the inlet side of the engine. It gives more room for exhaust, saves clutter, and just generally makes everything easier.

 

I also have fitted the oil pick-up extension and bolted it up tight. Oh my god, its looking like its perfect! If anything its maybe a tiny bit close to the floor of the sump. Its about 1.5mm off it not the 2mm I designed it to be, and there is so little room there that I cannot bend it up as its maybe 1mm from the alloy windage tray above it. I think I might just have to give the sump a little tap with the hammer when I put it all together. I'm seriously happy with this bit of fab, as I shaped it and scribed it all together to adjust the shape and that worked out really good.

 

SO now I need to find Mungi mods so I can borrow his s13 radiator to test fit, and then I guess its time Medicine man and I had a wee looky loo at the wires.
