Its a cigarette lighter port. Cars been so slow this year I had time to have a fag along the way , hang on I don't smoke!.
Seriously, it was there if we needed an extra power output.

Ah, makes sense!  Thanks  

(Better than running your wastegate solenoid off the LCD clocks power supply    )

That's a good idea ....

Wow can't wait to see and hear Clive

My new, well new to me, el cheapo manifold arrived from Texas today.

Trust me its worse than it looks with cracks up most of the other ports.

My old mate Tim the welder has had a look and suggested we cut out the leg completely and weld in a fresh alloy tube.

Only just seen this thread Clive. Not been on MRC via website for a while, mainly on my phone.

Gives me some inspiration to hurry up with the Rotus, drive it, use it and start with the "Carbon8" project.

No jokes about fizzy drinks please..... however, if 7up want to sponsor me.........

You do like to give your helpers some challenges Clive

They would only get bored if I didn't challenge them, not

I had a special Birthday present arrive yesterday, a bit more for the jigsaw puzzle.

If 6 injectors doesn't get enough fuel in, I don't know what will

So much exactly does need butchering  out of the bulkhead
It only really comes to light when I think how tight my inlet was on a 2 rotor Engie install

Basically the tunnel will need refabricating as I want to keep the front of the engine in the same place so the water system etc bolts on the same as the old engine.

Thing is the engine is 16.5 cm longer so we need to make room for the big intake and the exhaust manifold.

Still waiting for the sump but at least now I have the dummy block and manifolds, dimensionally things can start to be worked out.

Wow, I've been off-line for a few weeks and Christine is in pieces!! Looking forward to seeing v2.0

This should be interesting. So this is going to be a short crank 3 rotor then aye? Mind if I ask where you got the crank from? I've been floating this idea with my FB aye

I think someone already mentioned. A PDM would save massively on wiring, and provide huge amounts of safety whilst racing aye
