Christ Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 you don't really get how good the V8 sounded (or how much smoke it was throwing out) on that vid[8D] what you can see though is clive watching every gauge very carefully through the rear window[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 excellent! the 200sx sounded great too. I've got a video of a bunch of TVRs at a car show last summer but the file is huge =/ OMOC 5885 Hope for the best, expect the worst.

Manta400barn Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 How hard was it to get twin exhausts out centre, iv got a universal back box which is pretty samll in height to fit under boot floor but unsure if it'll miss ground, any pics also would be great of back of car so i can decide if i like centre exits thanks Opel Manta GTE Exclusive, 88E, Monaco blue, BBS multispokes alloys in anthracite, Spax kit, Twin 3" tails, 400 bonnet, Engelmann mirrors, 4 branch, Sports rear skirt, double heeled side skits,Clear front and side indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Er, think the pics may have been on the missing topic[][][] 400 barn, mate, I've got a few things to do and will have rummage around for the pics of the boot interior shortly.

opel2000 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 No mate (in reply to Chris) he's the good looking one on the left of the boot. It looks a quite healthy clean burning motor on that vid. I like the bit where someone says "That's not good" as all the oil burnt off the exhaust wrap from the oil leak I still haven't sorted. Exhaust suddenly got so hot that anything on the wrap instantly turned to smoke and a big belching cloud suddenly appeared, I about shat meself, but quickly realised where the smoke was coming from and comforted myself with this fact,,,, doesn't show up on the vid though, the smoke that is, not me comforting myself.... oooer[] East Midlands area Rep. email opel2000@ntlworld.com Shiny bits http://www.customsolutions.me.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Can just imagine Clive stood there watching listening to the V8 being pushed further and further...

opel2000 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 He He [][][] No Mick not a problem really, I always say that "You never put a car on the rollers unless you have driven it hard and know that it is going to take the revs" Actually it was still producing power at 5800rpm and with no drop off in torque but the V8 reaches reliable valve train at about these revs, was sort of thinking he backed off the accelerator just a little too soon really, but it may have been the shift light blinding him as this is where I have it set at[8D] Saw some bloke once at the Total Vauxhall show moaning at the Mobile rolling road operators cos his Carlton threw the contents of its radiator out at 6000rpm, he was saying something along the lines to the rr operator that he was driving it too hard on the rollers....................

Christ Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 don't know if anyone's looked at the rest of the vids on the top link but there's one called civic-escort-monaro just as clive was showing off his engine we heard a rumbling and a local guy in his VXR monaro turns up now that's a proper V8[] didn't put it on the rollers but it sounded very nice (about 1.20 into the vid)[8D] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Didn't realise there were more vids that way. Actually wondered what was driving the supercharger on that as it was running from something at the back of the engine, never thought to ask at the time.

Christ Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 yeah - i did look at that and can't remember the reasoning now - i think it's something to do with clearance (or alignment) for the pulley at the front it was driven from the front via two pulleys on a rod running front to back IIRC - if that makes any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yes mate that does make sense. I remember similar ideas when looking into supercharging Mickappy's B series (when I had it) Surprising how space can get so damn tight when there is all the space in the world.
