BIG G Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 Ever thought of doing a report on home built engines showing its not that hard to do and results gained. i reakon it would be a laugh to have either a rolling road or thrash some where Id be up for it
Admin Mk2Jo Posted September 26, 2008 Admin Report Posted September 26, 2008 Sounds like a good idea Gordy So long as it is blokes like you that are featured - one off builds for yourself and not mass produced Could be very interesting I reckon
Arfur Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 Rolling road sounds good. Hmm, we could do a home-brewed issue...
Stu_B Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 My Engine is a home build... but not by me! Does that count
BIG G Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Posted September 26, 2008 Im just a no expeirience have a go kinda bloke and it ran a 14.6 quarter And it would be good to get together a load of us and show the PROs you dont need heeps of cash to get power
caprinerd Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 im in the process of doing mine its only a pinto but im doing the head work and building my self and attempting the bike carb route as well so id be up for it if im finished when you do it
emu Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 mine was bolted together from odds and ends that were lying in the garage But its also pretty standard Sounds like a good idea for a feature though
Joe Little Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 sounds like a great idea, id be well up for it.
Fiesta Steve Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Your not allowed to play Toby, your too fast
BIG G Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Posted October 3, 2008 So cf are you up for the home built challenge
Toby Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Your not allowed to play Toby, your too fast I wasn't suggesting I played as I just did the dyno day, not that I would mind playing with you!! I just like the idea It's what it's all about for me, THE TINKERING!!
caprinerd Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 when you say about home build do you mean the sort of build where you can buy a staged head and put it on or take head off and do your own porting and work
Col-ashtonmobile Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 sounds a good idea & be a good feature
Fiesta Steve Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 when you say about home build do you mean the sort of build where you can buy a staged head and put it on or take head off and do your own porting and work I don't think there would be too many fast home built engines if we had to do all the work ourselves, I farmed most of the machine work out and bought a bvh off ebay, but built it from rocker cover to sump in my 7'x7' shed at the end of my garden
Fiesta Steve Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Your not allowed to play Toby, your too fast not that I would mind playing with you!! Your scaring me now

BIG G Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Posted October 6, 2008 The only part of my home built engine that i didn't do was bore and hone the block as no jig boring machine in the garage. But every thing else done by me including BV cylinder head Gonna build me a turbo pinto next
