I was hoping to have this setup running months ago on the test stand
with the Megasquirt
- damn work is interfering with more interesting activities...
The slide throttle is flush with keg.  The notch was to avoid the stock
water pump,
I wish I had been annoyed enough to chop it up earlier...
Same for the adjustable, telescopic intake.  I will rebuild almost flush
with the engine
and at a different angle flush with the bottom of the oil pan after testing.
Usable range (from rotor housing face) is 19-27".  Could be modified for
inflight adjustment.
Injector location will probably make it difficult to pull fuel uphill
for start - we will see.
Based on Francois' (Mistral) comments I will probably move the injectors
closer to the keg.
Besides, they are mucking up the airflow.
One of the objectives was to take advantage of the smaller rotary
profile - the height/width could
be shrunk further...

Tell me about it. This freqqen house is getting to be an
endless project.

Wow!!! Way to go Cary! That looks great. I love your
slide throttle and trombone. Good work. Can't wait to see
the dyno results. You should be able to tune for best BSFC.

Keep me informed with what you are doing with the Megasquirt
as I will be using the Megasquirt on the TC dyno engine.

I finally have the 68HC assembler up and running on the notebook
computer.
