Robert Linton 10-10-2018 09:38 AM

No. Austrian.

Wow just Wow.
This is probaly the most "kitchen sink" project car I have ever seen...

Robert Linton 11-04-2018 07:16 PM

And if we get our 4-valve engine to work....

Robert Linton 11-20-2018 02:20 PM

Our first test 4 valve, normally aspirated, air-cooled, 6 cylinder engine coming together. Nothing has been done to make it particularly "pretty" or lightweight as it is only for bench testing. If it works, many things can be done to reduce weight, to

increase power, to quicken spool up and to make it look good.

Very nice. 4 liters? Variable or fixed valve timing?

Robert Linton 11-20-2018 03:16 PM

Engine is 4 liters. Intake is variable, exhaust is fixed.

Looks great so far. I see you are using the turbo straight blade fan for better cooling. Keep us posted.

:thumbup:

Robert Linton 11-21-2018 09:41 AM

The truth is the fan might be entirely redesigned down the road.

The chain housings look like GT3 parts are you going to use others like the GT3's cam box scavenge pumps, variable cam drive units etc.?

Engine progress -- 4 valve heads are being finished machined as I write this. Hopeful engine will run in January

Robert Linton 01-27-2019 03:23 PM

Brief Update: The supplier machining the head castings was backed up with aerospace work. As a result, we are now approximately one months behind my last estimate.

Glad to hear it's next in line!
