  1. Been off sick from work this thing was bugging me in its not far but not going status. So made the caliper bracket and a cable to suit boom! working front brakes, quick spanner check. Went to refit fuel tank.... fuck new carby is in way. Couldn't wait so filled the carb up got it warm topped it off again and went for a wee ride. It's on par with a lime scooter but would bet its got a pretty hearty top end. Kill switch a fuel tank and paint its done.
  2. So this L67 im using as a dummy block has some scored bores an cracked heads the actual bottom end is in really good order. Think for proof of concept I'll pull pistons hone bores slap it back together with fresh rings ecotec heads and send it. I'm over how long it's taking, final parts count I need exhaust tubing but mufflers are here and a blow off valve thats it! That'll get it up and running. Lots of fab work to be done but im looking forward to that. Christmas holidays should get stuff happening.
  3. I made a round 4" 4 chamber muffler for one of my Triumphs probably 20 years ago if you like the sound of a Flowmaster.... It sounded awesome like a Bathurst XU1 Torana. Was considering making a chambered and baffled muffler to damp noise right down but hopefully keep flow up. Though I think I'll check out an adrenaline r muffler first.
  4. Got to the point I realised I'm one bracket for a brake caliper away from this been usable. New rear wheel on route as I couldn't be bothered fitting a new tyre. Looking forward to saving money on lime scooters. Will ride around make sure its sorted then paint it call it done.
  5. They do sound good but rowdy on 4 cylinders 2" exhaust I'd use them. Don't even think they do 3.5" I worked at woolf mufflers for a stint back when my car was new anything bigger than 3" was unheard of. My knowledge is pretty hazy and so much new shit is out there now. I've fitted a stack of cobys to FXGT's back in day though and quite a few eg civics.
  6. Noticed at drag day your car sounds about the volume I'm after. What Size is your pipework?
  7. I have no idea I once cleaned the spark on it. It's a horizontal engine if that helps...... It's just run ive done bugger all to it haven't needed to learn anything about Chinese clones till this afternoon. @tortron
  8. Well it just seized on me......... what to do.
  9. Thread Dredge. Looking for some opinions on number of and type of mufflers i can use on my Ecotec turbo project i've bought a single Maxfab resonator to check out their quality, i'll get the exhaust fitted up to the diff with the resonator to get it running. i'll be running 3.5 inch right through and am wanting to keep it fairly quiet as i use it to tow and do mainly street driving, guess i can let the wastegate do the talking if i want it rowdy. My manifolds are going to be made from schedule tube bends so i'm hoping combined with turbo should take quite a bit of noise out before it gets to the first resonator. if i have to fit something out the back to tone it down further what would you recommend? i've got plenty of space. I will be getting this certed so any feedback on what else is needed in that regard would also be useful.
  10. Remembered I have an old engine laying around. Dummy up time for motivation! Turbo may get flipped over to drop it depending on bonnet clearance higher keeps heat away from ac system so we'll see once I take some engine bay measurements what I can get away with. Will jam wastegate somewhere very close to turbo. Opposite side manifold is a stock cast unit off Passengers side so it faces forward and under power steering pump. I've cut all the egr shit off so it's nice and simple will weld on some steam pipe bends as needed to clear everything.
  11. Evidence of someone with penis fingers having owned this setup everything is nice up until merge for the crossover pipe someone has cut it off with a grinder crooked as! No big deal as I want my crossover pipe looping front of engine rather than under to make wastegate plumbing and ground clearance better. Check this shit out
  12. Did a roadie to Taupo to collect this gear off a young fella who's mum and dad talked him into buying a turbo falcon instead of turboing his commodore..... holy shit some gear here! Big ass new intercooler, stainless steam pipe manifold with a hefty T3/T4 turbo on it wastegate and all the 3" intercooler plumbing. A modified sump as well all in all really happy should speed things along project wise. Now to get the car a wof before i start fitting stuff so I can spend year getting it ready for a cert.
  13. Looking in to the innovate stuff realised its american $ most likely so the setup i was looking at was getting to be around NZD$650 then shipping. The spartan 3 can that do 0-5v output? i see it does CAN i'm not quite there with my skill set trying to integrate into the stock network i'd likely fuck that up or spend an inordinate amount of time and money learning how. sound reasonably priced.
  14. However looking forwards to some fabrication like the exhaust and reverse inlet manifold, still wanting to look stock as possible even with the bonnet up if I can.
  15. @Stu I'm kind of reluctant to to fit something with a big ghastly led gauge that lights up the cabin. I liked the innovate SCG-1 because it's the an oled screen and does quite a lot for a single extra device in the cabin. I'd probably fit in glovebox anyway. I would use a wideband controller and laptop but for trouble shooting it might be nice to still have a screen giving me data independent of the ecu. Breaking new ground for myself going oem ecu. There is a calibration you can upload to scale the wideband so data logging can be read with rest if information. I'm using Tunerpro to edit calibration files etc which I think I have about 60% got my head around have gone for a very well documented setup. I've tried not to use garbage for this build there's really good stuff but some proven cheaper products too. Hopefully that all works out for me. Guys in ozzy are getting solid results where the ecotec plus turbo thing has been around a while and surviving. In short novice! Will probably set fire to my laptop at the track with a few clicks and send rods into sump.
  16. Clever people, What are you running for a wideband sensor? Ive got an innovate scg-1 in my cart waiting for oldschool brains trust to offer some wisdom V=SCG-1: Boost Control & Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge Kit, ALL-IN-ONE (innovatemotorsports.com) Does boost control too seeing as i need that seems like a good option.
  17. Long time between posts.... so just bought someone else turbo ecotec project eg all the bits to get the turbo on, plus another turbo which will be up for grabs I'll be running mine rather than this thing. Surprisingly expensive build im 10x the cost of the car and counting now to be fair car was cheap as fuck originally. Will maybe be at dragday as a spectator this year. But lookout this summer! Going to have to do something about the paint too poor things not so great got hit by a garden shed in a storm a wee while back.
  18. It's a roller, chains even connected to engine 1 wheel bearing from been ridable. Ass end got mounted to engine plate in end as its pretty sturdy allows the scooter frame to be less stressed. Just cables brake calliper mounts and a new back wheel to wrap this up. Have all except the wheel.
  19. This things legal again just in time to park up for winter. Got this kicking around tape measure says it'll fit the spot rest is mere details. Once this 2 stroke pisses me off again I might spring in to action..... currently it's dripping petrol and stinking out garage watch this space.
  20. Been a while last rode this a few months back beat the shit out of it broke a few things off. Has sat since. Got offered reasonable money for frame so have sold it retaining the engine for a cunning road legal project. She's done me well.
  21. DR200 or accept the 125cc is as good as it gets seems best option here. I can get fairly carried away but for this seems like to much effort for minimal gain.
  22. Needs a quiet exhaust to dull out the moo and let ITBS scream their tits off.
