Cinquecento my green cinq project.

[centoproject]

yeah it's a nice site lol and as for trigger wheels i think i need a high resolution trigger wheel for additional accuracy ?

Retrofit If you have an engine that did not originally come equipped with a trigger wheel (e.g. a distributor based, pre-EFI engine) then you have to mount a wheel and sensor and set the phasing correctly.
For a typical car engine - go for a 36-1 wheel on the crank for non-sequential.
or a 36-1 wheel on the crank and a 50/50 cam tooth with gear-tooth hall sensor for full sequential
60-2 works great on most engines too, but is not advised for very high rpms.
For very high revving engines (such as motorcycle engines) due to the number of teeth per second, 36-1, 24-1 or 12-1 are preferred.

thank you very much

surface rust on the rear beam get it off and send it to be powder coated





and the wheel storage

 

[centoproject]

note the pink looking grinder thats from the rust cloud

 

[Brooky]

Have you given the rear beam a good poking with a screw driver?
Mine looked abit like that, but screw driver went straight through, so i got another. Cost me £50 for the beam and both rear arms to get shot blasted and powder coated

i've been whacking it with a chipping hammer it's in good condition so to speak lol

That is awesome value for blasting and coating!!

Also put some old bolts in the thread holes and keep hold of the plastic end caps. My end caps got lost (I had spares luckilly) and I had to recut all my threads. Not a massive amount of effort but time that could have been spent else where or drinking tea.

 

[centoproject]

how much roughly for powder coating a beam ?

 

[Honeymonster]

Well Brooky obviously got a great deal on his, I suspect it will depend on where you go. All my parts were blasted, sanded, treated, primed and coated. I paid £150 for everything I had done but this included hubs, brackets, beam, arms, drums, inlet maifold (high temp), turbo manifold etc.

But this was mates rates. I think most places do it by the square foot and colour dependant. If you want an unusual colour you'll usually be paying the price of a single oven load minimum.

 

[centoproject]

ok i will wait until i have quite a bit of things to do (engine cage,suspention bits,other things)

 

[centoproject]

engine manipulation again good use of old seat belts

 

[blu73]

swear i can see some dents and scratches in there that weren't there before now lol

 

[centoproject]

if you are on about the two on the wheel arch they were there before

 

[centoproject]

6 days since last update not a lot has been done been busy with other things engine cage is still under design got this done this morning not a big thing but ads to the detail i'm trying to achieve
eavan the screw was polished







more to come later on today

 

[centoproject]

room between the seats fully back and engine



and rear main mounting points (more will be added)



and more behind engine in picture
