4 or 5 hours some nights

It all catches up on me then I can sleep for a week.

It's coz I'm thinking about the plumbing n electrics on the rotus .

Head is spinning faster than the renesis lol




Fitted a sohn adaptor this morning

Just making a two stroke oil reservoir that bolts to the front on the engine

Another option if room becomes a problem, is to just pre-mix and just hide the OMP.
As long as the wiring is connected you can just hide the OMP as it does not need to be actualy connected to the engine for the ECU to see it. 
All the best Clive

Just crudely bolted this 5mm aluminium to the front to get the basic shape

Some 21mm AF hex aluminium bar makes for some great stand offs. Use them as a nut to clamp up the water pump blanking plate.

I'd be stuffed without my little lathe

I ran sohn for abit then i premixed  as Clive does..blanked off and left omp plug in bolted further up engine away from header heat.
Wayne would have an idea of how much he gets through through on track. I cant remember...i know i topped up every session but my tank at 500ml was way to small.

Plenty of space for a tank

I'll probably add a touch of premix as well as through the omp.

Mainly because just the 2 oil feeds per rotor on the early engines

Put a touch of lube in the middle of the apex

I know it's not rocket science but the less thinking I have to do with working out oil mixes at the pump the less stupid I look.

I'm good at doing that without looking confused as well lol

Mr Spiller

I think it's pretty dependant if the Ecu has been mapped to increase the speed omp .
My track car uses half a tank every 15 - 20 mins . Think it's 1 litre tank .
My PZ which isn't mapped doesn't really use a lot

The rotor emblem may look a bit cheesey, but hey I had the tig welder fired up and couldn't resist a bit of bling.

All ready to be powder coated.

4 litres, baffled and with a fill level sight tube.

Ah yes, I'm no fan of cleaning all the time either! Much prefer the used/driven look
