Needless to say I got the DVD.

Here is a rendering. I am coloring some of the parts to enhance the pictures :)

I'll take my computer to Sun N Fun and work on it there.

Hi Paul, so what do you think can we pull it off?  It is going to be a very tight squeeze but I think we can.  My motor mounts are even a little wider than a stock Long EZ by about 3 inches.  Anyway, if I can pull it off it should be one fast rocket.  Thanks again for your help and have fun in the sun!

No Problem Mike. It will fit.

Here is some old and some new ideas.

Paul Lamar



Hey Paul, did you send something?  I never received it if you did. Also, What fuel pressure does the injectors need to work?  For some reason I was thinking 90 psi but now I'm looking at fuel selector valves and most are rated around 65 psi.

Thanks

Mike C

Not so far.
50 to 60 psi is normal.

I got a chance to take a look and the easiest thing is to make a new 1/2" plate with the starter on the bottom and the right rubber bushing holder raised about six inches. The tubes will then clear the turbo exhaust manifold.

If you can't do that I can do it for you as I have a table saw with carbide blade.

Here is how I would do it Mike. No need for a new plate. Just tig weld some material on here and there on the existing plate. The inter-cooler is shown on top.

Paul Lamar

Thanks Paul, If I send you the plate can you modify it to work?  Or do you know someone who an?

Mike C


No problem. I'll put my ace tig welder on the job.
We  will add some material on the bottom for the starter.
