  1. wow ron that is gourgous.

     

    Thanks... as is YOURS!

     

    DO you have a picture of the whole car? if the engine is that nice cant wait to see the way the whole car looks.

     

     

    ...as you wish...

     

    The car belongs to a customer of mine, Clint Barnts. It just received a new intake manifold and Wolf EMS... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=117607

     

    The fully custom interior and stereo system is just as nice as the rest of the car... I still have my data-logging crap all over, so you'll have to take my word for it :wink:

  2. We need to KISS on this first design.

     

    Actually... its not the first one :wink:

     

    I fired up the first one last weekend... its running really nicely. With a mild cam, its pulling CLEANLY through 7000rpm, with only a modest drop in bottom end torque.

  3. low and behold, we never put coolant in the block, just H2o, and two plugs poped out!!!!

    we looked in the hole, and it was solid ice down there!

     

    saved the block! we reinstalled them (same ones) with sealant, and crakend the car up....5 months, no leaks, and engine runs fine...

     

     

    No production engines are designed to run without some form of anti-freeze. As the name implies, one of anti-freezes' jobs is to keep from freezing. So... by that logic, "freeze plugs" are as useless as tits on a boar.

  4. this may reduce or eliminate all the turbulence everyone seems to be fighting.

     

    If it matters, I'm not 'fighting turbulence'. I've had my manifold static CFD tested, and its not too shabby. I've got a couple areas I'd like to clean up, but overall, I'd call it successful, statically. I'll make the results public soon enough...

  5. I will try to correctly locate the injector ports in the cylinder head flange from the drawings I've received from Ron.

     

    Justin,

     

    They're offset .150" from the centerline of each runner. Drawings should pretty clearly indicate which direction, per cylnder. If you need me to work on that aspect of the drawings just shout.

  6. since you're still designing, why not add a second set of injectors?

     

    On paper, this is a great idea... small primaries, coupled with large secondaries up stream. Keep in mind the costs and complexity go up significantly... double the injectors, double the fuel rails, double the mounts/bosses, potential accessibility issues with the secondry set, blah, blah, blah.

     

     

    like sequential.... one for better atomization one for direct fuel

     

    Actually, what you're referring to is 'staged' injection. Sequential refers to the injectors being timed with the valves, opening once every other revolution. As opposed to batch-fired, opening every revolution with disregard of valve timing.

  7. Paul do you think the gain in atomization by moving the injectors back on the runner will be worth while?

     

     

    My feeling is that you'd have to move them farther than you have to make it worth while, say inside the plenum, directed straight down the runners throat. Anything less than that isn't worth the extra expense and complication (don't forget the mounts for the rail). IMO, flange mounted injectors are an elegant overall compromise.
