DC2T 51 Posted May 30, 2014 ah sorry, just outlets to relieve crankcase pressure. Run them to a catch tank, then return to sump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted May 30, 2014 Slightly better answer, i just know i needed them lol Engine BreathersAlso, oil leaks in a turbocharger may be the result of the crankcase breather system. Either atmospheric or positive ventilation systems may not be large enough to handle the somewhat higher "blow by" which exists in turbocharged engines. It is recommended that the engines breather capacity be increased when a turbocharger is added. Even when the systems capacity is adequate, the elements in the systems breather will become partially clogged through use. Also, the breather may become clogged with mud or sludge in winter or under snowy and icy conditions. These conditions will cause positive pressure to build up in the crankcase. If this occurs, it will restrict the oil from flowing down the drain hose and into the crankcase, causing it to back up to the bearing housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing they're well baffled on the inside to stop it throwing all the oil into your catch tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2T 51 Posted May 31, 2014 Want to make another pair for some monies?! Im all for making money, but they arnt my machines im afraid and im sure work would frown down upon me for using their tools, machines and time to knock them up to sell lol. If and when i get my own machines ill be knocking out allsorts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted May 12 Finally managed to get back on this project, 10 years..... Anyway, recently procured a 3D scanner so set to work. Did the B18 and engine bay. Positioned them in one another and modelled up some initial mounts ill later 3d print and test fit. Mounts will use off the shelf rubbers. My mill will be getting fixed next month so ill be knocking up a full set of these providing the 3d prints work as intended 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugdamo 111 2 Cars Posted May 12 (edited) I'm glad to see you still cracking on with this. I'm no expert in fitting a Honda engine in a 205 but with the length of that gearbox mount will that not create a large pendulum style movement? That really is only a question, I've no clue what other solution you could use to mount the box but it just looks like a lot of possibility of it rocking around a lot on and off throttle? Keep up the good work though, will be watching the progress. Edited May 12 by pugdamo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted May 12 Yeh im not too happy with it myself but id been designing most of the day and left it there. There will be a third mount at the rear but i need to scan a bit more and remove the standard mount from the engine first I could probably triangulate something to keep it more stable. I was pleasantly surprised with the space around it to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugdamo 111 2 Cars Posted May 14 Could you not mount into the top of the gearbox, and come up and 90° straight into the side of the chassis? Weld a thick plate into the face of the chassis, put some captivated nuts in there and bolt straight into that? Just an idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted May 18 Oh most definitely, what i wanted to do first however. Was create a totally bolt in solution, obviously that might not be possible however. If i goto all the trouble to make these, ill make a full kit to sell. And figured some people would want to cut and chop if possible. So ill try that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted June 9 (edited) The more i scanned the more i learnt, so i decided to scan my bare turbo engine, and everything else individually so i can build up a more detailed assembly. Removed the subframe from the car and am in the process of scanning the wishbones, uprights and suspension. Then ill redo the engine bay. Ive learnt how to reverse engineer and fit planes to the facets which allow me to align things properly. Its soo cool Edited June 9 by DC2T 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2T 51 Posted June 18 Slowed down due to the weather, but ive redone the engine bay in an empty configuration. With the inside and outside of the chassis rails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted June 19 Been thinking, and i agree. Probably the best place for a mount. Ill try and design it in as much non-obtrusive way as i can Ill do the gearbox, and some of the other mounts tomorrow. Really pleased with how its shaping up now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-mo 20 2 Cars Posted June 20 Absolutely loving you effort. Looks stuning Is there a possibility to get those scans from you as workable files? Would make the fitting of parts MUCH easier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted June 23 Thanks man. Ive just done the gearbox and had a right faff on as the file size was coming out at 3.5Gb. After a bit of tweaking i got it down to 500meg and NX is happy with it again. What kind of file do you class as workable? these are OBJ as saved from the scanner and i can use them. I'm not entirely sure what i will do with the files atm, i am in the process of setting up a business which will involve this kind of thing and rapid prototyping etc. One option i have considered is selling the files on my website for a reasonable amount. Also the service of coming out and scanning peoples things is another. Either way, I think ill need to modify the subframe a little to fit it, but it doesnt look too bad. I think if i removed the corner section from the frame it would go. Its been that long since i had my old 205 i cant even remember what this was for, any takers? Also, been thinking about the mounts. The B18 has 5 mounts as standard. So was thinking one up from the gearbox top to the standard mount, then the front gearbox mount to the chassis leg as you had suggested damo Then one off the back of the box to the subframe And the front rh side to the chassis frame again I could even do another rear at the other side It could fit 2 back, 2 side and 2 front by the look of things Tomorrow, ill do the other upright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2T 51 Posted June 24 Dont know why, but in my mind it used to go on the upright bit of the frame. easy delete for this purpose then. Going to grind this out on the weekend and ill rescan. Either way, started modelling the mount And scanned and fit the passenger side suspension 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted November 1 I've just ordered a custom one of these from Satchell Engineering, as the starting point for the build. Will be going for their fully adjustable suspension setup for the front. Just setting up to scan the entire car inside and out in preparation for this.

n0_b0dy_ce 1 Posted November 2 Looks interesting. It would be epicc to have step file of all car parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted November 2 I got this done today but my laptop s*it the bed. Will have to do it in smaller scans so it can process the data. The dots help massively though so the full car scan is definitely getting done. I'm going to pull the red recaros out my integra shortly and look to create mounting hardware to get the ball rolling on the interior. The integra dash is all scanned and will look sick inside I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2T 51 Posted November 2 (edited) Im not promising anything, but i may put the STEPs up on here for people to use when im done. I had planned to make up a kit once this is built, we shall see I need to get some over to Satchell Engineering for them to make the custom wishbones so i can achieve proper wheel width. I plan to use the standard integra wheels on this and get a full championship white respray to make it look similar. Which i think it should given the twin headlights etc. If anyone fancies photo shopping that for me it would be sick Edited November 2 by DC2T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
