Paul, I was getting ready to start
to put the flight engine together
when it occured to me that the intake may not fit correctly due to
the slide throttle that I got from Doc. I put the irons and
housings
together with the eshaft and checked how the RX-8 trigger wheel
fit
with the sensor I got from RockAuto. I need to get Doc's slide
throttle as close as possible so I came up with a system that
bolted
it to the engine. O rings sealed the slide throttle to the
stainless
tubes welded into the rotor housings. Will there be problems due
to
the stack ( irons and rotor housings) under tension and the
various
thermal coeficients with the slide throttle and the engine? i am
worried about leaks. I tried using silicone hose couplers to let
the
slide throttle float but it takes up way too much room. The slide
ends up 2 3/4" away from the engine block. The pic shows the slide
throttle mounted on the engine using the 3 block off plate for the
engine as mounting points. The two other olate house the orings
that
seal the slide throttle. I think I need to repace the 3 block off
plates with 1 plate match drilled to the slide throttle. Thanks
for
any help
