Well, I am back from the hospital (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Hard to type with my almost missing finger...I was welding and grinding and slipped with the 9" cut off wheel that I was using inappropriately....without a guard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Right through the tendon on the thumb side of my pointer. Likely not gonna be salvageable.....I would care more but the pain meds are kicking in. typing one handed sux. Probably gonna have to sell mt guitars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
One plenum is leak proof, now, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Well, after Mike cut his unit off and almost his finger too, I felt sorry for him and went in to work on his bus after he passed out from the tequila and pain meds. I hope he isn't pissed when he comes too but here is what I left him with.
      Sure hope he likes it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Well, seeing as Scotty is my buddy too, and seeing as how he lost his masturbation hand and Alex doesn't want him anymor, I felt sorry for him too. On my way home from the Evil one's house I dropped by Scotty's to see if I could lend a "hand". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I did the best I could to finish his car for him but apparently I used too much thinner in the paint. By the time I got the mix right I was out of green paint so he will just have to live with this.
       Oh yeah, I accidentally had a small accident when I was sitting in it taking a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) break. There was a small fire so you got stuck with silver interior too. Sorry bro, I am a rookie after all and from Arkansas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) did you expect, perfection?

Alls I needed was some non-rainy weather and "poof" the engine is now suspended from the bus. Of course, I came down with a pretty damn good cold this weekend which has me a little less motivated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
 Things on the "to do" list: Fuel pump plumbing Engine tin design, fabricate, install Figure out the throttle Location of the CIS box Find the registration Get it inspected (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Install the new gear selector cable Figure out fuel hoses That is the short list. The fuel hoses are actually the big hang up. I have the translucent OE style stuff, but I am not sure I have enough and I want to go to stainless braided. Hell, even hard lines would be nice as a 90* bend on the injectors would help out a lot. Tonight I finished up the final phase of the plenums. I need to sand the intake welds smooth, re leak test one, and then install. One other snag might be the location of the CIS box in the left engine bay as the spare tire cup is over there. I think I will have to cut it out, which I wanted to do any way as the spare is now on the front. The PITA will be getting the hole welded closed as the welder will not reach and the bus will have to drive to back into the garage to fix this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Motivation. Stay tuned. |

Well, now that it is in I am seeing potential problems with the injectors. If I could get them to come off at 90* then they would be perfect. The ones for 924 have a banjo bolt that goes on the end and would fit the bill, but I am not sure the flow rate would be correct. Plus, I already have 6 new 911 injectors....maybe I can sell them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
More research. |

So, the 2.0 injectors from a pre-1980 924 seem to be the right part. I am looking into this further. If I can get this sorted, a major obstacle will be removed as I can get the hoses made and fit much easier.

I got some work done on the tin tonight. The good news is that the front and rear parts can be used as is with little to no modification. I did have to make new side ones as the new heads changed the layout completely. Here are the pics of the "easy" side (no AAR or WUR mounts to work around). The base is 16Ga for rigidity since there is no place to bolt that part on, the sides are 22ga and burn through very easy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I keep telling myself, "its just s prototype".

Found a good deal on a set of 924 injectors, cheap even with overnight delivery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I will likely not have this bus done by weeks end, but I think I can still make it to Scotty B's and Hershey. I hope to have the last bits needed by the end of the week, or ordered. This weekend I am working both days so will not be able to work on it before I leave town to OH to work. Lets see what I CAN get done. Tomorrow: Tins, Fuel system, throttle system |

So, mocking up the CIS system and found a few obstacles that need removing/engineering around.
1) That damn tire well is in the way. Well, it was...     2) The TB with the shallow hose on top is too tall for the engine bay, so I will need to tilt the TB assembly and thus make the pipe from the air box with the distributor to the TB have a twist in it....this should be easy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I just got confirmation that my injectors shipped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am sending measurements for the fuel lines to the guy that will make them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
