i laid some thin plastic on the main airbox and put the carbon fiber on top to get a perfect fit. the plastic was there to stop it sticking. i put about 7 layers of 200g/m2 plain weave carbon fiber cloth which ended up 2mm thick and plenty stiff.
the rest of the box is 2x2 twill cloth which drapes better and looks more vibrant in a way. i deliberately chose plain for the lid to contrast plus it is more structural which is important since the lid only has slight curvature so could be too flexible otherwise
this is the lid.

Cant really take the m30 bore much past 95mm, the rest of the capacity gains are in the crank (obviously).

IMO the two piston design is poor with PPM stroker kit. i would buy the crank alone and get my own shorter rods and pistons.....when you target fictitious rod ratios and subsequently compromise the piston its a big no no. design the best piston you can, choose the engine size and fill the gap with a rod.
Everyone loves strokers these days, VAC now sell a 97mm crank for M5x engines. wont fit in an M20 unless you were talking about a short life drag motor ;) youd need a 2 ring piston, ultra small piston pin size and a custom aux shaft from quality steel. you could extend the block deck height with a spacer and sleeve it to run a longer rod and normal piston though but the timing belt and other issues would ariseLast edited by digger; 04-14-2014, 10:22 PM.89 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...

mould is just foam shaped with a saw, files, rasps and sanded smooth. apply a thick coat of epoxy let it dry. sand it roughly so subsequent layers will bond effectively and apply coat of epoxy and sheets of glass or CF cloth then a thin layer ontop to make sure its fully wetted. trick is to cut pieces to size that drapes well and conforms to the mould. i did each layer in 4 pieces with overlap. radii can tricky same with corners to avoid pockets. then get a roller to squeeze out excess and remove air bubbles of each layer. it takes alot of time89 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...
