Medicine_Man Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 those pictures are getting me a tad excited, lol Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Posted March 27, 2012 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: Quote

LittleRedSpirit Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 I know you can! I'm trying to work things out myself but I would love your help and advice. :laff: Quote

LittleRedSpirit Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Posted March 30, 2012 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. Quote
crispyke35 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Gotta say this is one great effort, looks the goods!!! much inspiration to keep building rolla's. Edited March 30, 2012 by crispyke35 Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks alot. I get inspired by other peoples effort also. I am really pleased with where the trumpets are, they have enough space around them to make a box if Id prefer. I will most likely do that eventually. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Posted April 2, 2012 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. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Just give me a bell and I'll drop round and we'll go over it :) Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Posted April 2, 2012 Terry and James dropped by last night with Terrys s13 radiator for me to fit into the cut. I think its going to be awesome,I just hope it isnt a bit too tall. Quote
