QWKDTSN Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 The Barbie guy from Australia has a custom built crank (sorry, eccentric shaft... is that right?) in his 4-rotor.

rayaapp2 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I hope it brings you better luck than Roy Holmes! My great grandfather was mysteriously killed over the patent of the first rotory motor. As we say in our family "Wankle garbage". No offence to you or your Z. It actually looks really good. I just hope one day to see an Irish Holmes rotory motor. Good luck Try and center everything.

Gollum Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 dang that thing is small.... that could probly fit in the back with and audi transaxle..... or maybe a porche tranny convertion.... :::drool::: I bet that thing will fly in the corners. And will take boost like a stoner to drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo240ez Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 hey Aux, how's this project going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Well, got the snail from James Thagard, but I've had flu for a week, started a new job, and went to MSA haven't made much headway in the past month because I got caught up on a bunch of projects, including regular maintenance on the daily driver that had to be done. Still gotta do the timing belt and brakes. I need to get the machine exhaust gasket template from Mike so I can start building the exhaust manifold, and I'm just collecting parts (gauges, turbo, fpr, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 It's amazing how useful ABS piping is. Hopefully now that my dryspell of not working on the car's over, I'll get some stuff done. That's the mockup, and the only things that would be changed are the pipe thickness to 3", and length shortened by about 2". I left extra space just in case.

MrWOT Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 What? Couldn't you at least find a decent sized turbo? I've seen gopeds with better Heh, just remember one detonation and goodbye apex seals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 thanks for reminding me. I suppose that would be an excuse for a teardown/rebuild with a street port and 3mm units, right? I could also take out the restrictive RE exhaust sleeves, and get a 1.00 exhaust a/r instead of .84 I chose for midrange power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWOT Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hrm, not sure about that 1.0 a/r. would be that much sweeter on top side, but think about where you live... now imagine having to drive up SF hills (if you live in sf that is) without the little torque you had down low.... fear! 8) then again you could go for the best of both worlds and find an old turbonetics VATN equipped unit.... that'll do nicely, but good luck findind someone who will part with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Final passenger side motormount Final driver side motormount You can see the prototype exhaust manifold I'm making on the top. It's a nuissance when I only have about 6" of space to work with, and this thing is 3" OD. Engine cleaned, new seals in place, replaced oil chain, hammerred out the dented oilpan, and stripped the engine bay for repaint. THis is the final location, frame rails have been reinforced and sleeved. The only time this motor will come out is when it's time to paint the engine bay. fuel cell complete. Thanks 73botiz for mounts and fuel cell box! Shifter position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
