Anyone run the 931 motor, out of the vehicle ?
I want to rebuild my motor, and then run it out of the vehicle.
1. Anyone done this ?
2. Whats the most you can leave on the motor, and still manage to drop it back in the vehicle ?
3. Will the clutch plate run out of alignment, without the drive shaft holding it centre.
Anyone got a spare torque tube and shaft, they could cut the first couple of feet off and mail to me ? I was hoping to be able to weld up a metal encased concrete flywheel running in a tank of oil, to make a dyno. |

make sure you have enough exhaust attached so the engine doesn't draw cold air into the turbo on off-throttle (ka-rack)

You haven't seen my last project, before my 931;)
A Super Critical Reactor !
A pressure vessel and pump capable of squashing things upto a pressure of 800 Bar, thats 12,000 psi. Now thats what I call BOOST!
At pressures above 500 Bar, certain materials become super critical, and behave as both liquids/gases/solids, at the same time.
Looks like mercury, or something shot from the hubble telescope.
The pump came from the Toyota factory, I think they used it for the presses that squash the car panels.
It's powered by a 10KW 3 phase motor.
Ever wonder what happens at the murkiest depths of our oceans, come see me  |

I believe he was killed in a freak pickle plant explosion. Something to do with concrete and oil and dynos. Don't recall the details........

Khal,
I'm in contact with him. The motor however went on a proper engine dyno, not a Heath Robinson contraption consisting of an oil drum, two rolls of duct tape, eight litres of oil and a super critical reactor...
Last i heard, he was up near the 400BHP mark, at the flywheel. |

Next time you chat ask him how to prepare the cylinders properly so you dont need to go pouring your mums vim in there, to seat the rings properly.
