V-M

Ferrita is ok http://www.rakaror.o.se/ http://www.a-alt-avgassystem.se/ etc... V-M

Thx! Dyno have to wait to next summer... winter time will go just having some driving and then adding and testing new setup. V-M

Car is now fixed. Engine works nicely and roaring like lion should :-) I have to do inspection first to drive it on roads (not done that in 2 years). And then do some driving and then starting to put those real power parts on places... - Innovate wide band lamda - 633cc injectors - megasquirt adjustable mapping (injectors and ignition) etc... V-M

Heh... born in 1964 I remember... so u re not alone V-M

Well... any lenght of 3" is good from start. See those mufflers from sweden... much chaper! V-M

2'5" will do 300hp easily. More if you make DP like 1m 3". V-M

All new ones are water cooled. V-M

Thats only for make turbo have longer life. It's so much easier to destroy turbo without water than with water. V-M

I have 4 new pumps on boxes V-M

Looks like wheel adaptors :-) V-M

Finally head gasget have arrived... It did take bit long to arrive. Here is info about manufacturer (they are also manufactoring Ferrari Modena pistons for ferrari factory): Thats also one option to make new pistons for N9T engine, but cost is 170e/pcs www.pistonispeciali.it www.navalineasport.it In top is gasget with rings and below is gasget skin without rings (just for future needs). Rings are reusable ones. Price was bit over 280e for that set V-M

Thats easy, just put tight enough There is no torgue for them but its not much cause those are only 6mm bolts (if I remember right). Clean gear place, gears and cover. Place cover sideways top of gear so at you can slip those (0.1mm) plates between cover and gear. V-M

Ah... sorry. As said earlier... I have only 0.1mm sets and bigger oversizes. V-M

These are general measures not direct for this engine but same type and same sized ones. Gear - body 0.05 -> 0.15mm Gear - gear 0.10 -> 0.20mm Gear - cover 0.05 -> 0.10mm What torgue? Pump to block? -> 20Nm Or are u meaning oilpump cover? V-M

What size bearings u need? V-M

Under 400hp eaven 2,5" enough... (atleast db should be that size) Of cause if there is space... allways bigger is better. Originell pipe is 2,1"... V-M

We don't need to have cat on cars older than -91 :-). Like I said flow exhoust gas cools down so much at it goes smaller pipe size in end. And outlooking is like untouched ;-) V-M P.S Cat is no prob it only costs 90€ and its easy to add there if needed.

Nope... I have 3" from turbo to that narrow place and from there its 2,5" on last muffler (standard) and out is standand muffler... See -> I don't see any reason or benefit to make any bigger... from power perspective, gas cools down enough in that 3" pipe to flow that 2,5" and mufflers part. IMHO V-M

I just ment, weight that set which is going in. I think its just enough to check straightness on than main axel (mine was bend). I think at Tama was not doing it for this set... I think he did with lightned flywheel ealier set. These engines are not going to rev over 8000rpm so... I don't think main axel balancing needed. Currently I have not found any good source... they are available but price is closely to 250€ for set. That differential thing is very pro work... It's possible tho. V-M

Seems at I don't have std ones. 0.1mm oversize is first. Gas turbo has = 10 x 37 Diesels have = 11 X 35 and 13 X 43 (manual) and automat same as gas turbo. V-M

That piston thing Someone has used some drilling machine (bad quality work btw) Remember weight those piston and rods... should not be more than 5g difference between sets (less if possible). V-M

I have spec stage 3 installed. Not driven it yet. V-M

Hi, I have some original bearings... Diesel diffrential have different ratio I'd would not worry about that pending on that case, just make sure at axel dont move <-> more than spec. V-M

Well using saab rods is much more cost effective than modifying pug one's. Nic TAMA has done this set now with 92mm Volvo pistons and saab conrods. Easy and cheap compared to pug rods and custom pistons. And those saab+volvo parts can easily take 400hp. V-M

Saab bearings (same with Ford) don't fit on 505 turbo conrods... tested and measured. :-( But saab conrods and bearings fits nicely on main cam Surely those can be mached but thas not cost effectiv... V-M
