After a lot of advice from this board and others I've decided that the endplay on the output flanges can be ignored for now. So..... Let's get this baby back on the road!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Here is the B.F.N. tranny mated to the motor. Yep, that's it. Hook two big fat wires to this thing and it goes! No F'n' ignition, valves, carbs, oil, cams, exhaust, etc..... Attached image(s) |

It's even more dramatic with some newer cars. No radiator, water pump, emissions crap, the list goes on an on...
What has been an interesting topic of late on the EVDL is what to do about the new computers. So much of the stuff is driven by that little computer. If you remove the engine and emissions stuff the computer will think you have serious problems and may or may not drive the all electronic dash! No signal from the fuel injection and you may not have a tach as a side effect. Hell the air bags might just decide to randomly fire just out of spite! I 'borrowed' a lot of the existing 914 wiring to save on running new wires around. That's no so easy with the newer cars. I'll let you know about the weight in a couple of days when I'm on the road. I'm going to drive it over to the scales to get it weighed. Also going to put it on a dyno to have a look at the torque. It won't be pretty but I'd just like to know where I ended up. Otmar has got some scary 800 ft-lbs or something but mine will be pretty close to a yugo-ish. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
