Title: Eight Cylinders Post by: ByzMax on December 13, 2009, 10:47:07 AM Have finally got the heart of next years project! ;D
Collected from the Abode of Chris Ireland on Wednesday it was in my workshop on Thursday Morning! I'm going to run it without a supercharger as I want it to be a simple as poss to maintain reliabilty. In case you have not seen em before they are two NSU aircooled engines that Chris spent Six Months joining together and fitting a supercharger to! :o He fired it up and then decided to do somehing else. A V8 Citreon 2cv. Go and have a look in the Hotrod section of the Britchopper Forum. First job is find a place to put it so I can reassemble it and start to make new inlet manifolds. Huge thanks to Baz who helped make it all possible! Title: Re: Eight Cylinders Post by: panthershaun on December 13, 2009, 01:22:45 PM Cool 8) 8) hotrod,or trike ??? ???

Title: Re: Eight Cylinders Post by: ByzMax on December 13, 2009, 01:49:37 PM Cool 8) 8) horod,or trike ??? ??? Well the plan is a hotrod pickup like yourself and manky. This is dependent on me getting these engines back together and running reliably on carbs only. sort out the transmission etc too. That part needs to be done by end of feb middle of march. Then start looking for a body. What NSU engine do you have Shaun? 1000 or 1200 and is it a runner? Title: Re: Eight Cylinders Post by: BikerGran on December 13, 2009, 05:10:55 PM Wow! Having seen those at a couple of rallies this year I'll be very interested to see them in use! (eventually!)
