Been busy with the mechanical side of things over the last couple of months. Sold the old engine from my project car for a case of beer, worked on accessory wiring, changed daily drivers, bought, disassembled and junked two parts cars and sold a lot of parts off those as well. Then I found the stronger gearbox I wanted, one of said partscars donated driveshafts to go with that and I did some more test-fitting the turbo setup. It clears the "new" gearbox and driveshafts much better than expected. Pics will be added later. The block, lightened crankshaft and modified rods are back from the machine shop and ready for assembly. I still have NOT found a suitable LPG injection system. This worries me a bit. I am leaning towards liquid phase injection for its charge cooling properties, but have been unable to find any other than (loads of) purple LPi injectors that are said to support only 30-35 hp each. I could consider fitting two rows, but they are quite bulky. And I still need enough pump flow to feed them, too. Twin tanks are an option but would drive up the cost a lot, and eat a lot of space. Anyhow, hope to get back to work with VEMS soon and contribute to documentation. ---- |
