Well I finally got some work done over the past week or so. I have been back and forth between the car and the engine, but have made significant progress on both.

I started working on the long area/ Hell hole and as stated before the DAPO had his own idea on how to fix the rustation! However, his way "Sucked a big root!" (One of dads sayings!)
So check this out....
(IMG:http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t292/Karah-lyn/Porsche/a5df483c.jpg)
and....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1318983497.1.jpg)

So ... I am still cutting away trying to get back to where the bare original pieces of the long are.

Anyhoooo. I also got back to work on the engine. As you will soon find, I am a bit OCD and will test fit, measure, re-measure, re-test fit, weigh and re-weigh about two-hundred times before I finally bolt an engine together so... I spent a while longer just to make sure.

The first part of the crank & Cam going in...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1318983497.2.jpg)

The halves together...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1318983497.3.jpg)

The cylinders going on....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1318983497.4.jpg)

And the cylinders and heads on...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1318983497.5.jpg)


It is starting to get fun again now that there is so much to do... And for those that are inquiring... Yes I am building this engine in my office... What of it?


Well until next time ....

Keep your stick on the ice.

Cheers!

Well, I will get into that a little later... That is when it is proven. I have designed a trigger style dizzy with a 32 -1 tooth trigger wheel. For sequential FI....

Okay, to elaborate.... For inquiring minds....

As you may know from reading my earlier posts, I am going to eventually put EFI (Megasquirt MS3X) on my car... I went with the expansion to have Seq FI. The only issue is you need both a crank and cam signal for sequential FI. Now, I know that the dizzy is ran off the crank but it is in time with the cam spinning once to the crank spinning two times... So I am going to have a crank sensor as well as the dizzy that I am making.

So I hollowed out a chinese made version of the Bosch
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1319063275.1.jpg)

And then, I designed and built a trigger wheel... I know that it is not a traditional trigger wheel due to the roll pins but I designed it for this application. (Still has all 32 teeth for now...)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1319063275.2.jpg)

and installed on the dizzy... Not sure what I am going to do to lock it to the shaft yet but that will come later.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1319063276.3.jpg)

I am going to run one of these Hall effect sensors...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1319063276.4.jpg)

I am still in the process of designing the base for them to mount internal of the housing.... You can look them up here.
http://www.allegromicro.com/en/Products/Pa.../0617/index.asp
and I bought them from Digikey...

Well thats the story of it for now... Like I said it is yet to be proven but once it is I am thinking of building a few of them for folks that would want to run them on their FI systems.

Well Hope you enjoy... And remember, If women dont find you handsome they should at least find you handy!

Cheers!

Well... I would if this wasnt a hobby... Lets face it... Unless this had 300,000 people banging at my back door waiting to buy one, the effort/price to Copyright would be useless.... Plus I would rather post ideas and let others do their R&D too, we can all benefit that way! This way the more people who build one the more we have to choose from... Someone is bound to get it right!

Well I have to say long breaks between posts are becoming the norm. I have mostly finished the long now and I am continuing on the floor.

This was the wheel well...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1326332657.1.jpg)

Fitting a patch in place of the carnage
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1326332657.2.jpg)

Then the patch welded in
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1326332657.3.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1326332657.4.jpg)

And then...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1326332657.5.jpg)

Sum it up with...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1326332657.6.jpg)

Unfortunately this doesnt have all of the steps... But you get the point.

At first I was thnking "what cinder blocks"... I forgot I used them... It was difficult getting the car high enough to work on. No worries though, found some Jackstands that go about 3 1/2 feet which do the trick!
