Keeping the enemies closer... Had a pretty wild drive today! :cool:;):D

I recently created a new page on Facebook for those who don’t quite fit in!

Anyone recognise it? It’s got me stumped...

If you think you’ve finished, you’re not looking hard enough! ;):rolleyes:

Well it can only get cleaner!!:eek::o Mock up manifold on spare engine starting next shed day...

Did someone mention tapping into the AC?? https://fiinterchillers.com/

Well isn’t that an interesting development!! Seems others are also supporting these models since they’re gaining in popularity & value... I like their dedication & the diameter of the primaries is good but I still see opportunities for improvement! I’ll have to make my own with the help of some...

Sweet! The LH bank headers are a compromised design with the firing order but I’m struggling to see how it could be done any better.

Outlets on the headers should be AT LEAST 59mm (2.32") for a 6.9 and 58mm (2.28") for a 560. That's each side....

Finally I have the ability to add real figures to this thread! By my calculations the following should be adopted for optimal performance. Oh and these sizes are MINIMUM ID (NOT OD as pipes are normally specified). Include lots of bends (and not straight-through mufflers) in your design and...

Finally people are starting to experiment to the benefit of all chasing more MB HP! Not sure if there’s enough headroom in this assembly, but I’ll see if the theory can be tested & hopefully we’ll find out for sure!

I just measured the usable area of the snorkel... a piddly 67x56mm at its narrowest point!! The widest is 80mm. It was so wrong at the very start of the intake! Not accounting for any bends or excessive length, it should be a minimum 79mm round. Not sure how I stuffed that up but probably too...

So they measure as follows: 6.9 Intake 45mm Exhaust 41.5mm 117 Intake 42.5mm Exhaust 43 x 38mm (not round) Not as much of a difference as I expected!

Yes I think it was a good price for the seller but it did have high compression engine. Looks like an early car with no timber on the console although the speedo looks like km only so maybe parts have been swapped? I had set aside a day to have a closer look but it sold before I had a chance...

Values are definitely on the rise....

Obviously there’s a reason I kept all this stuff even if I didn’t know why at the time...:rolleyes:
