trying to find the max temperature the fiber can withstand....
I'm also trying to find a high heat tolerant resin (once everything is dried and cured) once cured and exposed to an enviorment that is in the 200°-300°+ range, would I have to worry about dangerous outgassing?? |

A full set of Carbon Fiber engine tin is already being made for the 914... The Blower housing will be fiberglass though with adjustable partitions to trim the cooling air...
I'm even doing 912E tin for the early 912 guys that want TIV with stock looks and easy to fit characteristics.. Both units are almost done as we speak... The main reason I wanted to make it was because the stock tins are so hard to find in good condition and we can make the glass units even slicker and sleeker. I'm changing the rear of each piece of top tin near #1 and #3 to boost pressure to those cylinder in hopes to get better temps on them.. This stuff will sell pretty cheap too! The resin I use will go to well over 400F as we have no issues on shrouds that literally touch head surfaces. Fiberglass molds get very hot during curing. The resin used to make these molds is what we make the DTM from. Its 3 times as expensive as the other normal stuff, but it never cracks or even spider webs. |
