205 Mi32 Project - The Twin Mi16 Engined 205

[cybernck]

after completing rear engine's electrics and cooling system, we attempt
and manage to start the rear engine for the very first time!



it started fine, with the grease on the exhaust manifold burning off a bit.

Phase 6: Fueling System, Instrumentation & Misc

the first part of the Phase 6 story is all about making the fueling system:



and doing misc work like an oil change, so we could start both engines together!


you can find the first part of the story (with 37 pics) on THIS PAGE.


a short video of starting the engines together coming soon!


thanks.

after completing the fueling system for both engines,
we start them together for the very first time!



with just a little bit of revving action as well .

Getting there

[Timmo]

does sound good!

[cybernck]

just to let you know this is still going on (a bit less intensive lately though),
i just haven't had time to make a worthy update to the story for a whole
month now, but there's a crucial one coming up soon!

thanks.

Looking forwrd to some performance testing

at last, a long-awaited (or perhpaps an unexpected ) update to the Phase 6 story!


the 2nd part is about cooling, intake, exhaust and instrumentation:



and not to forget, finally getting to test-drive the car in anger with both engines!


you can find the second part of the story (with 30 new pics) on THIS PAGE.


enthrilling video of the test-drive coming soon!


thanks.

And there was me thinking 2-star was gone forever! Not in Bosnia obviously

(Last photo, for anyone confuddled)

[cybernck]

wow, well spotted that!

getting very hard to get hold of in Croatia but still readily availably here.

Unleaded is only 95 octanes and can rarely be found as Unleaded Plus [98] .

[Toddman]

Do you have 4 or even the fabled 5 star cybernick

Cheers
Luke

[cybernck]

i'm afraid i'm not sure what those ratings mean exactly, but as i said:

Leaded (aka Super) = 98 octanes
Unleaded = 95 octanes
Super Unleaded = 98 octanes

[cybernck]

that's it - the moment of truth! and not just that but it's a race
with time as well, as this happens from 1AM to 3AM and we
have to leave for season's last drag race at 5AM!



unfortunately, a cracked rear expansion tank messed up our plans
for the race . still, it was a very productive night and i'll leave it
to you to decide if the car met the expectations or not .

Over here your Euro Normal 91 RON would have been 2star (though ours had lead)

95 RON Unleaded is our Normal

97-99 RON Unleaded is our Super

98 RON Leaded is our old 4star and some (including me) would say the old motors have never run the same on unleaded irrelevant of octane rating.

[cybernck]

ah you were on about 91 (aka Regular), i thought you were on about Leaded (98).

i agree with you about old cars and leaded fuel!



btw, due to a few mistakes (such as the wrong caption), i've had to
