Well all the Ali welding is finally done and the manifolds are off being matched to my Formula Vee heads, Pic's soon I promise guys  Lee,one thing puzzles me,formula vee is a restricted formula with few allowable modifications,why would you restrict yourself to this same criteria? seems strange to get formula vee heads? cheers richie |

Formula Vee ran 40hp single ports, Super Vee allowed a lot more motor- so I'm betting that's what the heads are based on???

Hey guys - should have some pic's VERY soon the FV guys have finished porting & polishing the heads AND manifolds - They were pretty interested in my "modified" Race Trim items All the spring pressure's have been checked/adjusted along with fitting a set of cromoly retainers and collets (just waiting on a batch of there own modified retainers) The haeds AND manifolds have been on the flow bench and everything looks good - 75cfm across the manifold and port with STOCK valves (35/32) apparently stock 044 off the shelf only have 72cfm  They have done alot of work just under where the carb sits as with the shortening it was quite a steep angle - its all good now I am STILL waiting on carb parts from the States (pierce manifolds) but they should be here in a week or so its getting pretty close for EBI but I will be there don't worry. Oh yeah there is also the slight problem of a Slightly bent front beam from all that off roading    |

Also forgot to menion - The heads potential is now said to be 130bhp even with the STOCK valves (again read potential!) This is a quote their company stand by And after chatting about my spec/set up with the FV guys they ESTIMATE around 110/115bhp on my motor I have also been advised to go back to ALUMINUIM push rods with an 8thou gap - FV guys say thats what they use AND they are easy good for 8000rpm! - Any thoughts  |

Hmmm but that was ALOT biger motor - more valve, more spring pressure, more carb more revs etc etc - I think i should be ok |

Sounds like yiou're getting there Lee. I know a lot of these FV guys really know how to squeeze the power out of their engines, so I bet those heads will be great. WOuld love to see some pictures of them when you get them back!

Anyway back to the main topic and the pic's that I know a few of you have been waiting for Went to see my man at GAC Formula Vee racing this evening and I am very happy The manifolds have been match ported as well as being "ported" just under where the carb sits to because of the new angle due to the shortening, The inlet ports have been fiddled with to give a few more CFM. The Chambers have been flycut 2mm to give 42cc chambers and a Comp ratio of 9.057:1 There is also some brand new cromoloy retainers and collets Now just some finishing and painting then its time to try and put it all back together What Torque should I do the head nuts to with the new Comp ratio? |

Just look what you can do with a few hours in the garage, some files, a grinder and a bit of paint |

hey that all looks nice. i would swap the arms on the linkage around and make it a push system. not that that is better, but the rods from the linkage to the carbs would not he so crooked. i think that affect the similar opening off the carbs... but that might just be me. but think off it. the arm to the right carb has a really different openingpath/ rate as the arm on the left carb. why am i helping you out anyway with a 200kg weighing buggy??? |
