Hey Chris, I forgot to ask, how's the cooling system performing?

Well the weather has been a lot cooler around here so it's been cooling fine. Haven't taken it on a ride longer than about 15 minutes but the temp hasn't spiked at all. TBM is confirmed for cooling. Finally got the Renegade Hybrids front valance (they had to make some more), need to install that this weekend and it should direct the air in a little better.

Also noticed that the brakes are really good. Those porterfield R4-S pads make quite a difference.

Sure does sound good. If it goes even half as well as it sounds then you got yourself a winner.

Goes pretty good DB. It won't beat the turbocharged red monster I've seen videos of but it's fun. If you're ever in town let me know.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Yea Chris, I want an update on that controller. That is as soon as you finish shoveling snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) When you gonna start one Scoot? It'd be easy for a man of your skills.

Speaking of your plan, are you using Ians cradle or building one of your own?

Probably make my own. I've not been able to get hold of him. Tried 2-3 times to buy one from him as I don't need to try and find the time to fab one myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It was fun.

























































Ah just playin'


Bob was really helpful as usual. The car still needs some work for sure, it still runs a tad hot after a while and my trans is still whining a bit on decel. Unfortunately the weather has dropped to 20 degrees around here so no further work has been done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif). I think we have it all figured out though.

On the cooling thing I just need a bigger opening up front and it'll be good. Pretty much EXACTLY what Kent did in his thread. As Kent mentioned we also decided to switch over to a universal fan controller which is much simpler. I think Mike Bellis uses one. You just jam a sensor into the rad fin and the fans come on at the preset temp. The ECU was not flipping over from low speed to high which is probably a sensor...not spending $200ish on that when I can get a more reliable complete setup that has a built in relay and provision for A/C switching as well as an override wire you can hook up to a switch to turn on the fans any time you want for ~$40. I'll post pics when I install it.

Scotty, PM me....you probably should fab a mount for the EG33. The engine is a little long for Ian's cradle in my opinion. Mine was almost touching the firewall so I switched to Bob's custom fabbed mount. I'll be happy to shoot some pics of the mount for you. It's very simple. You could make it in a day (or less) out of a early 914 mount. Have to take the engine out this winter anyway...

Make your own Scoot. Ian is busy starting life. Or at least he was last year. That's what prompted me to make my own mount. <$150 in materials. You've got an Aircraft Spruce on the East Coast. Order the 4130 .090" Chromoloy. You'll need a bender. HF has them for $99 on sale. You might look at some EZ30's, also. Lighter and much shorter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hello Chris

Conversion looks great

May I ask what did you use for the grommets for the coolant lines running through the front firewall to the radiator?

I currently have a conversion and am looking to improve the grommet protection I currently have

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thank you. Still working out a few kinks but I learned a lot. Also made some good friends which I actually like better than the car.

What I did for the grommets was to take a couple of pieces of extra rubber vacuum hose and cut them length-wise so that they can be pushed onto the metal lip like a grommet. They are about the same diameter and type as windshield washer sprayer hose. Then I trimmed them to size width-wise and glued them in place using a very small amount of rubber cement.

I've heard (and read) that they're not the ideal setup for an EG33 so I was planning on making my own also. If you've got ideas let's throw them around until we've got a plan. I've got ideas of my own but then I tend to overengineer things a bit... they work tho! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
EZ30s work great but I've already got a complete SVX with everything that's needed for cheap- I don't really want to get into a different setup with more expense at this time...
