Tony D Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yeah, speaking of desmodromic valves, DEVAS wouldn't be out of place on this engine...LOL What's that, just another $50K... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 that manifold looks similar (as in lengthy and tubular) to one my friend is using in Aussie... thehelix112. BUT yours is reversed engineered by placing the turbo towards front of the engine bay and way crazy w/ the length of the tubing... but it's very sexy! misuse of the word "reversed engineered" I hope you meant to say his manifold is just reversed from your buddy's. Yeah' date=' speaking of desmodromic valves, DEVAS wouldn't be out of place on this engine...LOL What's that, just another $50K...[/quote'] there's Tony with the ol' DEVAS system. You'd probably have an easier time convincing an engineering student to make you a camless valvetrain as a design project than to get a DEVAS system on the L6. (never mind the fact that their website is terribly out of date) Monzter, Good show. Can't wait to see the finished product. Are you going to mirror finish the interior surfaces?

Careless Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 yeah i'm sorta sad with the devas system. has anyone ever featured it on a car at all? I've not seen one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Oh good grief! fifty bucks says the manifolds get bolted onto a junkyard L28ET IMHO thats the only way to properly break in parts like this.. by BLOWING UP a junkyard motor. holy fookin cow man, i am just.. speechless.

The search to find out what the hell you're talking about led me to the Atlas F1 Bulletin Board which has a lot of great reading, so thanks! /Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONZTER Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 The CNC work is finished, now it on to finishing up the welding of the two halves, the vacuum plenum covers, and the Wiggins fittings. BTW the logo on the cover, SDE Components is my little side company. I thought it needed something there so I put my logo on it looks just like the CAD Model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Wow looks great. Will it be polished or just left with the machined look. I like the machined look but Id be scared of the small ridges getting scratched, bent, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 AMAZING! thats alll I have to say...and that i thought you where going to tape it together and throw it on a flow bench first?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEBEZEEed Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If that performs as good as it looks........... there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONZTER Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 AMAZING! thats alll I have to say...and that i thought you where going to tape it together and throw it on a flow bench first?? It’s not welded yet, just held together with the dowel pins. I will weld all of the fittings and vacuum rail covers first, test it, then weld the two halves last.

MONZTER Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Just got home and test fit it to the car, Luckily it fits perfect, just like I was hoping. Here are some more pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow_Old_Car Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 i agree, i'm really hoping these make it to some type of a casting phase cause i'm sure the cost of CNC'ing stuff that complex is astronomical unless you have a hook up. i eagerly am anticipating the results of this.
