[joedrum]

Why are you running it through your laptop?

That's how he's gunna take all of his air flow/temp/velocity measurements..... :mrgreen:

That thing looks perfect, and about as close to looking factory made as you could get. :good:
Joe...you're a true Craftsman....I bow to you, sir!

 

[joedrum]

thanks joel ... but I feel anyone can do this but it dose take patience and great amount of hand skill ... I am not sure others could do this as it is tough to hang in there ....but at least it is evidence that this can be done ... joel right now I feel like I am building the great wall china and I am just haftway don ...2 down 2 to go LOL.. oh my genius title didn't get passed 7th grade then the school began :builder: :thanks:

 

[joedrum]

sheesh pic of progress ...still have some fitting to do ... but looking good so far :builder: :thanks:

It looks so simple but I know how much work has gone into it. :builder:

just a couple shots of what it will look like

Simple and elegant at the same time, like Mother Honda engineered it herself.

~O~

+1!!!! Awesome job, Joe!!! You better get a patent on that design, before someone steals it.... :clapping:

 

[Steve83]

If it runs as good as it looks, it will be one amazing machine!

 

[joedrum]

its here for all joel no patent ... this is so difficult and reqires so much touch .. that no machine could do it at all...and I must say it was a good time for me as I have been mostly snow and iced in ... and this kept me inside and made the most of it ...the dang intake runners are very not the same ...I am astonish how mismatched they to the head ports ... rough crummy and quite off .... so it was also very enlighten ...sheesh the mismatch of these intakes has to cause some carb problems ... again to me custom work is leaps and bounds better than factory work ... and it seems most think opposite ...but I am no believer in most for anything ... I don't think I am pushing this deal as the thing for others to try ... someone like me snowed and iced in unable to work or retired ... pass that I think this is way to much for most and the busy deals of life of no time for you .... hmmmm they call this freedom hmmmmm ....LOL thanks for the praise ... as steve 83 said if this works ... im trying big day today ... :builder: :thanks:

 

[dan filipi]

Ok.......enough praise, it's making me sick.
Get this bolted down so we can see if it even works and can be sealed.

 

[joedrum]

there you go ... shut up and get er done ...ok seems like the boss said quit misspelling words and grab a file ... :smilie_happy: :builder: :mrgreen:

pics

hardly a level surface but enough to be certain that everything is not in a bind and seal even

this pic shows the lower file out that had to be in the clamps to fit flat and not effected by 90 degree turns in runners

:good: opcorn:

Joe,
How are you going the stick the runners to the flanges?

:hihihi:

But seriously....I wonder that meself. Stainless is hard to weld to begin with, and fusing it with aluminumnum? :headscratch: Imma guessing some kind of epoxy?

 

[dan filipi]

Joe and I have been texting he may tap in set screws.

Joe,

from previous pictures you can see that the runners actually replace the inner ridge of the of the o ring groove almost exactly...it looks to me that 1 1/2 o rings fatter than stock o rings will seal clamps down to head and clamps to runner ... as for hold downs to prevent pop off in blow back of some kind .....I am going to strap down the runners some how to the motor to prevent pop off from happening

I really don't want to make it rigid as floating like it dose now makes for easy sealing without much torque .......is what I am thinking .... :mrgreen:

That was my guess, too. A couple of screws in each flange into the runners would hold them on, without being too solid. A small bead of sealer around the runners before sliding the flanges on, along with the o-rings would guarantee no leeky.

How about using the threaded hole already in the collar replace existing screw with set screw and run in tight against tube to hold it.
