Alex, that is some damn fine work dude. Much respect! I've played around decking 2 stroke cylinder heads and jugs with a bridgeport/lathe and goofed off with a CNC a few times but your skill is excellent. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words!

Ignition coil mounts!

Sweeet :P

 

only 3 coils? how will that work?


side note: i like those coil mounts what coils are those for? do those just mount direct to the block?

 

3 coils with 2 leads will fire both leading and trailing at the same time. No split!

 

M&W ferrite coils 2-per mount for a total of 6 coils. Very high energy coils and extremely small but some what fragile. I am running two of the M&W capacitive discharge 3 channel ignition boxes to drive them and yes i am still running split timing with the waste spark!

 

<---

 

I think that is the ticket. I just got my pro 16 as well from M&W. I decided to go with crane lx92 coils instead. My pocket's arent as deep as yours.

 

Revised ignition coil mounts.

hey man I looked at the first two pages, nothing showed up. Try www.imageshack.us

 

The site that hosted Rich's website went out of business. Because of this, his site, along with all his pictures are down.

Ah, I didn't notice when I first posted that there was 45 pages.

 

Anything new since a a couple months ago?

 

Yes, a few things. I will post pics and info later. I have been holding out since it seems the interest level has dropped quite a bit. I blame it on myself for the slow progress which can cause some lack of interest. I do plan on having it start up by the end of this summer. The main piece i am still waiting on is the intake manifold which seems to be the largest missing piece of the puzzle.

 

Would you pay me money to post some of your images back and put your website back online and host it? If yes, PM me and I will take care of this issue.

 

host went out of business so i lost the domain name.

I had someone start up a new site which is of course under construction.

www.autoill.com

I would like to at least get back my original domain name which i paid for a couple years but can't seem to find anyone to get access to it. Godaddy said they can't retrieve it since it is locked out, even though i paid for it. May be a crock, not sure!

what's up with the grotesquely huge tach? doesn't seem up to par with the rest of what is a class A project.

After spending a couple of dollars on the engine which will rev faster than you can blink, i thought the sunpro 3" tach might not do the job.

It looks large in the picture but it is the standard 5" tach which matches all the other gauges i am going to use.

I was quite proud of the custom molded fiberglass mount which grows from the center vent location and looks pretty cool!

 

so whats left for this beast to run?

 

Time. I promise some pics soon. I just have been dragging the project out too long to keep up the interest. I have to wire the car, mount and buy 2 oil coolers and of course finish the billet intake manifold. Other than paint and polish which i was hoping to do over this winter. I want to assemble the car and test run it to work out some of the bugs before the snow flies so i still have 2-3 months.

I do have some cool things to show for the car as soon as i get the intake finished, i will post some pics of it along with the other stough i have picked up along the way.
