Alright already!! Had to test it with something.
I'll do the single injector turbo setup next.

I'll just put it on this engine as it's still mounted and have the stock baseline figure.

I can express post you an A12 one? but you probably wont see it till Tuesday.

That would be great guys!

I tested the stock A12 yesterday, interestingly made about 6-8 more KW than in a car. That's more losses through the std gearbox than what I would have thought. It made 30Kw, usually between 20 and 24Kw in a car.

Killing time between tunes...nearly there.

Thanks LZ and Mik, I'm certainly not in a hurry for an L series bell housing and flywheel/s (5+6 bolt). Its only if I need to test/tune an L series down the track. I have plenty of A series stuff to play with. I want to finish the single injector turbo setup first.

It would be great if you have something to donate or barter!

Its a product made by Valspar(Netherlands). Its 80% Binders and uses concentrated tinters. It covers very well and only two coats are recommended. 10 mins between coats at 25degC. 10 hours dry time(workable) at 25C, but it takes days to get to its full hardness.

I bought it from the local auto paint place. 5:1 ratio with hardener and 10 to 20% reducers(fast).

The recommended surface preparation is to Blast it. I used an 80 grit steel blasting media.

It cost about $48 for one Ltr. But you will also need the hardener and reducer.

Hey Mik, I'm still looking for an L series auto bell housing. I'll also need an old flywheel to machine down for a drive plate.
All of the frame is now finished. Just a bit to go on the fuel and cooling systems.
I have a few tunes booked in over the next week. It will be at least two weeks before I can even get an A series engine on it to test for issues.

I googled the Tatra 11 chassis D, Interesting design. but a little hard to work on from reports. This is bit the same too. I had to make the center bearing mount fit inside the torque tube. It also has to be adjustable as the engine coupling doesn't have a slip yolk.

Cheers guys, very close Zig, but its actually very light charcoal

Started blasting and painting bits for the test stand. I love this paint, no primer required and very tough. Its a 2 Pack industrial epoxy.
