205 Mi32 Project - The Twin Mi16 Engined 205

ne, also der vordere Motor tackert echt extrem!
so klang meiner nur, nachdem ich ihn zerlegt hatte, die ersten paar sekunden lang, bis wieder öl in den hydros wahr. Kann aber ja sein,das es bei dem Motor auch der erste start war, nach dem einbau. ansonsten währe das wohl eher sehr ungut:-)

[mrx0001]

hmm der vordere motor war ja schon vorher drinne...

naja wer weiss wenigstens scheint mich mein gehör nicht getäuscht zu heben

sometimes it can take up to 20-30 mins for the hydraulic lifters to quiten down.

and as i said, they are ok now .

[Kris]

sorry, but if it takes 20 minutes the lifters are really at the end of their life or the cylinder head doesn't get enough oil at all.

after completing rear engine's electrics and cooling system, we attempt
and manage to start the rear engine for the very first time!



it started fine, with the grease on the exhaust manifold burning off a bit.

Phase 6: Fueling System, Instrumentation & Misc

the first part of the Phase 6 story is all about making the fueling system:



and doing misc work like an oil change, so we could start both engines together!


you can find the first part of the story (with 37 pics) on THIS PAGE.


a short video of starting the engines together coming soon!


thanks.

after completing the fueling system for both engines,
we start them together for the very first time!



with just a little bit of revving action as well .

just to let you know this is still going on (a bit less intensive lately though),
i just haven't had time to make a worthy update to the story for a whole
month now, but there's a crucial one coming up soon!

thanks.

[cybernck]

at last, a long-awaited (or perhpaps an unexpected ) update to the Phase 6 story!


the 2nd part is about cooling, intake, exhaust and instrumentation:



and not to forget, finally getting to test-drive the car in anger with both engines!


you can find the second part of the story (with 30 new pics) on THIS PAGE.


enthrilling video of the test-drive coming soon!


thanks.

[cybernck]

that's it - the moment of truth! and not just that but it's a race
with time as well, as this happens from 1AM to 3AM and we
have to leave for season's last drag race at 5AM!



unfortunately, a cracked rear expansion tank messed up our plans
for the race . still, it was a very productive night and i'll leave it
to you to decide if the car met the expectations or not .
