there are lots of options out there, one thing to remember with a v-belt set up for every 10 horse, you need 1 belt, so for 45 hp, you would need a 5 belt setup. Here is a picture of a Subaru EA81...
well the summer has came and gone, with snow getting closer.. I decided to take the motor and stand off, and put them in my shed to play with over the winter...always wanting to do something more. ...
it doesnt sound like you have had much luck finding a shroud for your motor. I was kind of in the same boat....with my 084 motor. it did not come with any shrouds also...due to changing it over to...
it is good to see a new project starting...at 45hp. It sounds like you might have a 2002 vintage? What style of redrive are you thinking of using, and ratio? Depending on what year of motor. The max...
it has been a couple of days. but slowly progress is getting done. I have decided to add an Raspberry Pi4 with an 7in. LCD screen for a dashboard. there has been a few challanges over the last year...
Ever since I turned out my hub extensions, I was not happy with the standard nuts and bolts holding the prop to the hub. I originally attempted to thread the aluminum holes, but not having a...
So after thinking and trying to understand circuity, I am finally getting things set up to add 5 more sensors, that can be routed through the speeduino. Which will be a 2cond head temp, oil pressure,...
sounds like you are getting things in order and figured out.
If you take time to go through my threads on the EFI to the 084 motor, if you have questions, or if I might not be clear on something....
I think you will have a lot of fun with the Ecotec motor, I hope that the century drive or a prsu will fit up to the motor. that would make things real simple.. If not it would not take much to make...
That is just a few hours. Glad you have been having fun with it.. with you picking up a 1.4 Ecotec, that will be a big jump. 10 to 1 compression, and triple the hp at 5,600rpm. what gear ratio are...
I have found out that a little upgrading the bushings on the stick might be in order. with using 3/4" heavy wall SS tube, there was a lot of flex in the cross piece. It really didn'tset well. kept...
It has been a busy couple of weeks.. trying to get a few of the small things buttoned up.
I have been looking at the drag link that I took from my first project. and it left a lot to be desired. so...
Last summer I made a couple of drain plugs with a 1/8" pipe thread for the installation of a temp sensor.
at the moment I have a few extra ones in stock, in case anyone is looking for a simple way...
it has been a busy weekend, didn't get to spend much time on the project, but made a few good forward steps. on the battery tray, I tapped 4 ea. 1/4-20 threads in the tray the plastic box will sit...
It has been fun just to be able to get back in the swing of things... and starting to wrap up so many of the little side jobs on this project.
the remote oil filter and cooling has been plumbed in,...
cleaning up more things. so I tackled the oil cooler and filter yesterday.. and got them mounted to the frame. I ended up cutting the oil cooler lines, and simplifying the whole setup. last summer I...
you are correct in "things never work out as planned. last week I was turning out a dust cover for a 3" chuck I picked up. the last detail was to drill 3 mounting holes.. You can see the picture,...
it has been a good weekend... a few things are almost off the checklist...
from when I split the boat, and added 16" in the middle. I had been wanting to put some channel or tube on top of the...
so last summer I got the makings for a aluminum fuel tank, but the main problem, that I was up against was how to install or attach the internal fuel pump, and fill spout. that are on the plastic...
It was a good day, finished up the small wire on the cage, it is sure nice having a place inside out of the wind... nothing to fancy,
I was looking around at some 4" square fencing, but really...
well I was all set to get this all finished up this fall, then I pulled a muscle in my calf. and that really set me back, on doing anything in the evening, just trying to get through the work day,...
I was going through some pictures the other day, and came across how I mated up the flywheel to the driven pulley, and thought I would share them.
when putting the flywheel on the pulley, the bolt...
It has been a while, that you have been using the 3 bladed X prop.
How are you liking it? What would be your thoughts comparing it to the 2 bladed X?
what a week, some things are finally starting to take shape.
made my rudder rods, out of 3/8 ss tubing. welded a 1/2 ss nut on the top, and turned down the upper part of a 3/8 bolt to fit inside the...
