Not much to report lately, just been collecting some small bits for the build. Managed to pick up a lever bias valve and 3 chamber reservoir that had been mounted but never used at decent price. Also got a brake hold/line lock solenoid for the rears when on the grid as done have a handbrake...

Enough? Yes it has some gubbins inside to have help air separation. "The scavenge oil return is fan tailed and angled onto the inner side wall of the tank to to spin the oil and air apart.The oil then runs down through a flat baffle plate to promote further oil air separation, finally...

@EVO 4LEX is the guy to talk to if you fancy one 👍🏻 you know it makes sense 🤪

Less of a progress report and more of a fashion show post Took delivery of a Carbon bulkhead infill plate thingy this week, will let the pictures do the talking Big thanks to Alex Gregory for making it 👌🏻 Oh and it weighs in it at just 210grams rather that 840 like the steel one.

Bit more done today, Fittings arrived this week to make a start on the fuel lines and get the last oil line finished but like always what you think is right never actually is 🤦🏻‍♂️ Bottom feed line done. Tank did have plastic push fit 90° fitting with a ½" BSPT thread but trying to find...

Things have been slow going again lately with building cages and moving house. Slight bit of progress yesterday though getting the Laminova mounted and the oil lines done. (One fitting short of finishing them 🤦🏻‍♂️) Fab'd up a lower bracket to locate the tank as trying to holding it place with...

Manifold - 75mm Body - 66mm Trumpets - 93mm Spacer center line - 25mm

Don't think anyone would disagree with you on that one

You're probably right I could of got away with something like that but wanted to try bolt from the spacer into the inlet manifold as per the standard. Plus as Mark said #becauseracecar weight saving and all that 😂

Was keeping that one on the QT till we got them modelled and into production 😂 You can go into that one if you want to mate 😉

Designed like that because they need to be like that mate. The straight spacers that was in before put the trumpets nearly touching the bonnet. And the taper is to go from the 50mm bodies down to the inlet manifold

Time for a bit of an update then. Tweaked the design for the angled spacers and put them out for quotes to be cnc'd Wasn't really sure what to expect with the bore having a sweep and a taper but quotes came back ranging from £224 each 😬😬 to £98 each 😬 (still a bit of a sting) Anyways they...

Cheers for the tag mate. Get your name down for the engine build, I know you had fun building this one 🤪

Now that looks the dogs danglers. Will do some research

Do you not think that would be deep enough to fit the trumpets in then? He didn't send any dimensions over unfortunately

I've enquired and its 750 euro for one of these if anyone is interested 🤪 Group buy?? 🤔

Carbon fibre PLA

Thats a right beast of an airbox. An airbox is the plan but the one I'm designing isn't that wide.

Yep you're not wrong about being slow, Finished a print for a mate on Wednesday that took 40 & ½ hours. Dummy sump pan for an Yamaha R6

Their a right pain it the ass to start with mate. Took me months to get the setting right to produce a decent print

Just hope it performs as well as it looks. Looking at it i might have to relocate the alternator the same as @RuskiWeldShit has done

Did a bit of ringing around on Monday as I'd found some angled spacers on the Jenvey website, unfortunately they only off a parallel bore and as the current 25mm spacers are tapered down from the 50mm bodies to the inlet manifold they couldn't offer anything that would do the job. So after a...

Yes mate, cut the standard crash bar off and made the tube one fit right into the back of bumper to give more room in the bay and aid cooling.

Update time, Progress has been slow as of late as been flat out building cages but between jobs today so thought we'd have a go at moving things along. Thought I'd have a little spending spree last week but some 700+ quid later it turned out to be not so little 😬 Decided to go for the...

Little bit more done yesterday, flywheel ARP bolts torqued up, cam cover bolts swapped out for some pretty stainless ones and trimmed down a couple of the trumpets

Not really much to update on as yet with being busy with roll cages and the b****cks that is Christmas I have manage to source a new water pump pipe that should work with the dry sump kit though off a Renault Kangoo. The mount is no good so will have to make a clamp bracket to secure it but...

Yeah 3D printed in Carbon

Long rods and short pistons to alter the rod ratio. The original engine builder that spec'd the cams always said he'd spec'd them so it doesn't need to rev its nuts off to make power. Still plans to get them on there at some point, will be making provisions in the loom for the actuator but...

Got to say a big thanks to Mark for getting all this put together. I know it was a b**ch and at times I think we both felt like throwing it in the skip. Was good to have a catch up yesterday mate and give you some space back in your garage. Didn't get chance to do anything to it yesterday as...

Have you ever seen a better looking motor 🤣 Then again I am bias 🤪 but you can't say it doesn't look like it means business
