Need some different headers so as to get the pipes
in he boat will run it like that for now without the hatch
but room down the side for them.

Brod...

ADY.G. · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 9:04 am

Pipes are just pushed on for now see wot they look like
when i get em in the boat ill sort the lenght out ish :wink:

Looks good ADY

how about turning one head round and running an exhaust down each side its no big deal to have two throttle links/cables etc also it will look so much better and scale like with a tail pipe coming out on each side and there will be no need to cut the hatch .

good work ! looking forward to seeing it on the water

ADY.G. · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 9:21 am

Yea it has crossed my mind to turn one round 180
umm ill see.

Turning the head through 180 will mean that engine will be down on power a little..

nitrophil · **Posted:** Thu Sep 10, 2009 7:28 am

Rob had turned a head round on one of my engines he can't see any loss in power .
(both engines are coupled together so any minor loss wont be seen anyway)
the only thing you have to do is turn the piston and shave a couple of fins to clear the coil .

ADY.G. · **Posted:** Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:47 am

Ill see how it goes as is then may swop round
to suit the pipes should be good if not fast lol.

kenny · **Posted:** Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:00 am

Do the engines fire at the same time???

ADY.G. · **Posted:** Mon Sep 14, 2009 9:04 am

180 degrees apart Kenny.
