Volocity stack design considerations??, for my mickey mouse ITB's Options

[Mueller]

Slightly warmed up /4 motor applications...I'm thinking just about any design better than none at all....I'd like to metal spin these myself, however if I can get a good price on 8 from a fellow non-club member, I'll go that route (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

I still want to know why you are reinventing the wheel???

...maybe my pocket book is not as deep as yours??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) why did you build a /6 conversion when you could have bought one?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

so far, t/b's have cost:

• t/b's with TPS, injectors and fuel rail = $140
  
• manifolds = $40 for the pair
  
• rubber hose = $2 each
  
• clamp = $6
  
• machining time = 1 hour including setup
  

so far, just a tad bit over $200, not too bad, hopefully less than $100 for the aircleaners and linkage and for sending out the injectors to be flow tested. I'm not going into production, one set was for me and other set was for Randal* but he was smart and bought new TWM stuff since I take too long to get anything done (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

*he paid I think $200 or so for his motorcycle t/b's which I am modifing as well...

Andy,
One end of the axle is done, just need to do the other one, tonight I'll try to get it done. Diameter is critical.....

Paul,
I can send you a real drawing if I can get my computer from crashing due to new video card (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

So far...

"A"...minimum ID to be 47mm, max OD 55mm (I doubt you'd use .156 or thicker material (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) )

"B" 90mm before overlapping

"C" whatever R is easy for you, nice big one will work for me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Overall height, I'm thinking somewhere between 2" and 3" due to aircleaners, unless I can find a nice tall aircleaner (something smaller than the 9" units I've seen at the bug places)
