Not an expert on the turbo’s yet, but I intend to turbo a CD175 at some point this year after I have finished a couple of other projects I have going.
I am going to run an external oil pump using oil from the engine sump, I will use an oil cooler but I doubt you would need one on an engine as heavy as a…[Read more]

Not going if there is that much snow!!

A rather moody pic

Kay I think you are now an “Honorable Member” as you have contributed so much to the site in the past, Which means you can come with or without a twin!!

That’s not Tan hill but never mind!!

The 24th June is the first Saturday after the longest day,

Where are we going to meet?

Tan hill has camping and sometimes live music and is quite close to me.
We could have a ride out Saturday evening before arriving back before last orders, Sunday we could head to “Hawes” or “Devils bridge” bikers meeting…[Read more]

Merry Xmas all

Very interesting Michael, I cant read the graph with the advance rates on though, Could you put a pic on of just that so I can read it 🙂 🙂

Regards Mike

I think Kenny is going to need a miracle from Santa to fix that !!! 😉

P.S I still think paraffin would have fixed it!!

Ouch, Like people said use paraffin only don’t leave it in to soak, Drop a match in!!!!
Usually a few engines on ebay but pricy.

We can have a “Crumpet Party”
What do you say Kaye?

I like your attitude, He who has not made a mistake/wrong decision has not made anything!!
I have a hell of a scrap heap!!

Made from standard bends, cut and welded(Carefully)ground back with a flapper wheel then painted with engine enamel, Cost about £30+ paint.
“Oh” did I not mention the hours!!!

The Suzuki GT750J brake is a slightly cheaper option,Double sided Four leading shoe, I have one on my Moto Guzzi and one on my Honda K4 race bike.

I think you are well qualified for the task in hand, Do you have a time scale on this?

Yes they are whale bones, on the West cliff over looking Whitby, It was quite busy and I had to wait ages until nobody was is the way before moving the bike in and getting the pic hence I didn’t get it lined up properly plus the sun was low so the bike was in shadow, always next year 😉

The MR2 is Supercharged!! Standard fitment in Japan on the MK1s, MK2s had Turbo.
It had among other things an “air conditioning” style electro magnetic clutch which was controlled by the ecu, Unless there was vacuum in the inlet manifold the S/C was switched off, as soon as vacuum started to fall the S/C was switched on and up to pressure before…[Read more]
