Calculating top speed on ice...

Congrats man.My little girl is 4 today.And she is not interesting in noisy things.she runs away when I start my Aprillia 250RS.

Thanks!

I got some work done today, the new drawings are finished so I cut out, rolled and welded the new cones for the tailpipe. The intake length depends on the finished tailpipe lenght so it won´t be made before the rest of the engine is finished.

If the intake length is so tied up with the tailpipe length, will thermal expansion during running not mess up this fine balance?

Now you are asking those difficult questions again. Silence damn you!

Laughing my ass off, I hate that too!

I believe the engine must be designed for its operating temps.

Metal expansion is one important reason these engines don't start right up from cold; another is the need to establish the relative "hot" and "cold" zones in the engine for both the engine metal and the gases inside.

A careful warmup and then the transition to self-sustain and as-designed performance will follow its course.

Here is a pic of the partially finished T3 next to the original Thunderchine.

Beautiful, reminds me of the German Flag

Hmm could be the camera perspective but one looks a bit longer then the other - are you sure that you've cut the sheet metal to within margin?

good job

[Johansson]

Might be the camera that makes it look taller, the intake looks larger as well but only half as many as before. Strange things are happening, wooo hooooo!!

[Johansson]

A couple of hours well spent today.

[metiz]

Bwahaha! that is one ridiculously looking intake

Its that dimension distorting camera he bought to impress the girls

It looks even nicer live, I did a lousy attempt to brush it today but I have to put more work into it later.

The copper coil is fitted now.

[Johansson]

New injector fitted, everything is set for the test start this weekend.
