Like I need another project... Beginning to be as bad as Dr Evil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I need some TB's for my Jenvey, Extrudabody and TWM TB's are crazy frickin' expensive for what they are, so I'm going the Motorcycle TB route. This is what came in the mail today, stuff looks real good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached image(s) |

Everything on this build is custom, between the engine and the car I'm betting 1500 hours.
Your friend is either going to bail on you, hate you or start charging you money. I'm guessing, but I have at least 120 hours in the TB's alone. I didn't make templates. At first things went fast enough that I thought about making and selling a few sets, but I |

If I discover things deeply out of my pay grade I'd pay him. That, and there's a pretty solid welding/fabbing/machining presence up in this area. If I gan get back into 3d design stuff like CAD (used to use 3DS Max for game models), maybe someone can print them out on a 3d printer. If everything mates properly, then CNC out of aluminum? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I figure this all would involve a lot of machining, especially in trying to get the TBs to align with and mate to the intakes, and especially getting the linkages sorted out! Then of course there's the fuel rails that would need to be correct for the TB's spacing, am I right? I see the issue of having to fab everything up. In terms of the linkages, is it extremely complicated getting each pair of TBs slaved to each other? I was trying to think if you could rig up a system similar to Tangerine's pulley/slave style and have a TPS on the "master" TB? |
