Don't forget the gall plate adds a another couple mm so you have more margin

Taking final measurements from the crankshafts










So the m20 crank bolt bottoms in m57 crank. Problem is that m57 has longer threads in the crankshaft.







Bought m57 flywheel bolts for automatic transmission. Same size, only longer threads.





And it fits!

electrical cutout system arrived from the US :)



And facelift CPS combo came from the UK

I must say,,, VERY WELL DONE,,, so far

[jute91]

just ordered one of these ;) I want to hear the straight pipe, but not all the time ;) plan is to take 2x2,5" pipe from front to the back, 2-to-1 joint after collectors and then cut out shares it back to 2x2,5" which will lead to the back of the car, one silenced, one straight.



Prepping flywheel to be machined.

such an awesome build.

[squidmaster]

Love everything! Craftsmanship and creativity like this is very respectable. Thank you for sharing with us :)

[jute91]

Took some practices to the students at school ;)



Now when I have centering hub for the flywheel, it's time to
put it on a diet.

new ignition coils


heater pipes are going to need some modifications too

i think he meant since youre so open to hacking and customising , why not ditch the booster and run a pedal box setup. also you can build a proper setup with stock booster. some even shift the stock booster over an inch or so which would make it 10x easier to make a plenum. also smaller booster and corresponding caliper and m/c changes along with the offset position and would help again

I ran over couple ideas, had bought several boosters for the mockup but decided to run this setup. It gave me lot of room. ;)

Digger: whether a pedal box setup is road legal or not in Finland, is open to debate.
Much of the stuff we build just has to look OEMish so the MOT inspector wont notice your custom parts.

Pedal box is legal with the certificate from the producer.

Yeah and I have seen the ITB trumpet models out of the 3D printer. But then from the photos it looks like you are measuring clearances using the carbs???

yeah carbs are just for the mockup so I can see how long intake manifold I can make for this.
