An engine is an engine
I'm working on an engine in uncharted territory, to my knowledge - no one has done it before. I need help
the engine is a 210 hp horizontal opposing turbo fuel injected air cooled engine.
to those of you who notice something - yes it is an airplane engine and it is going into an airplane.
BUT, i am adding "hot rod" parts to it.
intake manifold - making my own from carbon fiber
exhaust system - making my own from mandrel bent 321 SS tubing with twin turbos
fuel injection - tearing out the mechanical and making my own electronic injection
spark - removing the magnetos and installing my own hall effect pickups and electronic ignition
should i go on - I'm gonna need assistance and ifin you all here want to help - please speak up. nothin bolt on here, figure out and make it, and i better make it good - i'll be flying at 25000 feet in it
That's funny about calling out the car models going by, that's one of my early memories sitting on a bus stop bench with my mom enthusiastically calling out the cool cars going by, I was about 4 or 5...
How did you get hooked on cars?
