Re: Inlet Manifold Design

The 360 has long runners, short runners and a valve between the two plenums that either joins the Two to make 1 large plenum or when closed keeps them separated.

Re: Inlet Manifold Design

The 360 Fezza works the same. Dependent on revs and throttle position.

Re: Ackerman Angle

As noted the upper and lower ball joints aren't in a direct vertical line, to determine Ackerman you use the imaginary line between the upper and lower ball joint. Level horizontally with the steering ball joint.
Just curious, what sort of Ackerman figure are you aiming for?

Re: 24V headers

Hi Kevin, yeah I trimmed a little off the lower left webbing for more clearance, I could of left it but made things a little easier, they are stepped headers, 42mm for the first section nearly to the joining flange then 45mm from there past the block and below and into the collector. Tucked up as ti...

Re: 24V headers

One from the rear, as can be seen the right hand side has to sit a little higher due to the starter motor taking up valuable space.

Re: steeringpump faillure

Killaz: thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out for that and be sure to Take note.
Mines a 156 pump, I'll report back here when I get to it so others may reference from it.

2.5 24v pistons

Hi everyone, just curious if anyone happens to know the weight of the assembled Pistons (rings and pins included) from a 2.5 24v engine from a 156. Or may have lying around that they could weigh for me.

Re: transaxle upgrade's

Nice work. I agree, I think that f2 would be the biggest force but have the least effect as well. For that to happen the shafts would have to stretch in length which is unlikely, and if they do then there is very little we could do about it other than tie the new bearing to the case somehow. Which w...

Re: transaxle upgrade's

Yeah I agree with that. Using your example. If the same beam had only 2 legs, and 100kg in the middle assume each leg carries 50kg. If you placed a third leg in the middle at the load it theoretically would carry 33kg as would the other 2, 'if' the beam had infinite stiffness. But we know it will ha...

Re: transaxle upgrade's

Yes space is at a premium for adding a bearing. But it is possible with some careful machine and spacing/moving of gears. I don't think the radial load will need to be that hi. It's only helping not the primary load carrying bearing, in theory it would only have a load applied under hi power situati...
