Partial assembly with printed parts. As soon as all the recent stuff comes out of the printer, its onto a car for final firewall clearance testing and then the POs go in for throttle components.

wow put me down for one . !!!!!!! I will get another car just to use this beautiful work . !!!!!!!
|
What IS that exactly? I get the dual throttle plates but don't see how it fits in the system (have an abstract schematic)? It's certainly beautiful.

Here are some more photos with the mockup parts on the assembly so far. All the printed plastic parts will eventually become machined metal bits. Test fit, revise, test fit, revise..... its how you get a perfect fit the first time.

OMG Hans, that's stunning! As has been said before in this thread, pure automotive jewelry. Kudos.

The new billet fuel rails just came back from the anodizer today. There are several design features to lower the weight and thermal mass, but also improve access to the manifold mounting hardware. Ports for fuel dampers between each "pair" of injectors were added to decrease the nominal diameter to a -6 size for further reduction of fluid heat transfer.
Getting close to a completely assembled manifold. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...5a199d7a6.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c1d6a2582.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...341363342.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...0c696e1bb.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...752cc475f.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...2bb05bdf9.jpeg |
Installed on a test motor to show rail and damper clearance.

hope you are making at least 10 and maybe 20 cause this is collectible and valuable for all owners !!!!
|
Making six for now. One for me, and five for some very trusting early adopters. We will see how it goes from there. Its been an experience for sure.
|
All I'm waiting on is to hit the lottery, and then I'll want 2 of them!!

What are the odds that a VW Bosch 4 bar FPR will fit in the spot of one of your dampers?

I am using a 350lph pump. so needed something with a larger orifice to account for the large amount of return flow at idle, cruise, and decel periods. The regulator I have selected can support up to 500lph of return before linearity is effected. It is always a good idea to use a FP transducer and correction/failsafe table, but its sure is a lot better when you are working from a stable linear output to start with. One way around the issue is using a PWM controller for the pump, so it always maintains a relation in which the excess capacity beyond the need of the injectors is under the 220lph threshold. It is something I considered myself, but thought better about it for troubleshooting purposes for others downstream. Regards Hans |
Wow, that makes me want to buy a kit and go get the car later.....
I don't have the heart/soul to adopt & re-sort another 928 though. I look forward to living vicariously for those that can/do, its way cheaper and somewhat less frustrating. |
