i am interested in the REAL world cost and issues incured by others who have built these motors. i recently finished one and so far am extreemly happy with how strong and smooth it runs. there where issues as with alot of things but after working thru them, all is well. my 2056 probably has a bit more done to it than most 2056 builds, that may account for the successful outcome BUT maybe not. from what i've seen this is a highly sucessful combination.
don't be shy and tell us what ALL was done and your detailed experiance with building/driving it. this could be a great help for past and present 2056 builds. if there is interest i'll make another poll on presures and temp.'s mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) EDIT MCMARK: Added "No Problems" |

Steve, are you aware that there is a fore/aft adjustment on the alternator? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pirate.gif)

QUOTE(McMark @ Aug 21 2008, 02:23 AM)  Steve, are you aware that there is a fore/aft adjustment on the alternator? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pirate.gif) Yeah, I learned that one the hard way like most things. I built a stronger top mount, had a larger billet alt pulley made, refined my stronger top mount, etc., and I've pretty much resigned myself to putting a new belt on it every morning that I race. If it lasts through the first 2 practice sessions I just leave it off for the rest of the day. I get a couple more HP for the TT and the race that way. It only take a couple of minutes with no heater stuff and no sheet metal in the way. I don't even need to roll around on the ground, I can get it all from the top. |
