Project moves slowly along

Excellent stuff Carl.

I have actually been hearing a lot of very good reports about the NRS (Canadian?) seals - you know anything about them?

.btw - Pretty sure I\'ll be going with Ianetti\'s also.

[Carl]

I have pulled one engine that had them in and there was a problem with the NRS ones in that the springs were very worn.
One spring had made it\'s way out from under the seal and scored the side housing.
I also think that the end piece is all at the wrong angle and does not seal as well as it could.
The 2 piece Iannetti\'s are better on both counts.
Kind regards
Carl

Yeah - I have heard a lot of very good feedback about them, but I believe there is another apex seal being made in Oz that is meant to be better again.  I\'m trying to find out some more details on it.

.ps Carl - I changed the title of the thread.

We started the engine on Saturday!!
Sounds very much like it is meant to do something.
It is running very sweetly with one or two minor things that need sorting out.
I do not think the car will be at the Pod next weekend now as there is still loads to do and to rush it would be a mistake,but now that the engine is running I am really pleased.
There is so much torque that at idle, which is steady at  2000 rpm, you need no throttle to move!
Kind regards

Shame you\'re not going to run at pod, but if that would mean rushing then a wise decision.  

[Hint mode]
If it\'s not rushing to get the beast there and back without running it up the strip, it would be real treat to see the machine before the shows next season.  [/Hint mode]  

Hope to see you there anyway, with or without that monster so I can try and bend your ear into letting me make a trip over to Newbury just to hear her running.

Glad you have it running Carl:D As said before me would be good to see [and hear] it in the flesh as it were.
If not then the anticipation will be all the more greater;)
When it does turn up at an event it will make grown men cry:cool

[Glenn Butcher]

wow, i too have just stumbled upon this thread,(thanks glenn for the link on the ausrotary forum., carl you are internationally famous!!). Bloody awesome carl. When you said to me that you had built a 4 rotor, i ddnt realise it was the one in you avatar. Me eyes arnt that good:cool  oh yeh, and i reckon that a video of this would be the thing that finally  made me figure out how to dowload videos.

[Carl]

I know that some of you want to see a vid of the engine running but at the time I was to busy to take one.Sorry about that,but when you are trying to be hands on it is hard to do more than one thing at once.
When we run it again I will do one.
Needless to say it sounds rather nice.
Kind regards
Carl

Probably answered this before Carl - but did you use Mazda PP housings or other ones with \'better\' port timing?

[Carl]

Hi Rich,
They are FD housings that are modded.
Kind regards
Carl

Hi John,
The crying will probably be from the premix in the fuel!!!
LOL
