That Egor is jus a... DAM GENIUS!!!!Egor has been busy working out some jetting problems and finalizing all the small details. He has announced that the project is complete and ready for the test pilot to give it a good shakedown run.
Our test pilot will be available this weekend and has scheduled a few hours to run this pile o scrap through its paces.
In the meantime Egor put this teaser on Youtube:

We broke down and bought one from Jegs. Some things are better bought than make from junk. We did have a ghetto fab version on there eariler, but the welds kept cracking.

So today Egor is changing oil. He removed the crankcase cover on the PTO side and was wiping the oil out with a paper towel. When questioned, he adamantly insisted he wanted to do a thourough oil change.
Upon further drilling it turns out the he didn’t locktite the cover bolts and they shook loose causing a major oil leak.
Now he is replacing the gasket.
Use locktite, boys and girls!

My engine has leaked oil from day one and I've never taken the cover off.

A wise man told me “ change the weights and springs in yer torque converter. Its like gaining a few extra HP”
Egor is back from vacation and has completed the engine work and changed the weights and springs in the TC as per the wise man’s recommendation.
l took this thing for a quick spin around the mountain top lab test track. (The test track is known as the nerdbergring.)
All l can say is Holy S**t! What a difference! This thing hauls a**! It is fast enough to cause me concern as to how the youngns will handle the power. I have fabbed a throttle limiter already.
So the result is the TC engagement speed is exactly where the engine is making gobs of power.
The moral of the story - listen to your resident wise man.
ln this case the wise man is a resident here! I‘ll leave it to him to speak up or not.
Egor can not operate a camera and refuses to be filmed driving, if his pic gets out it will create mob situations when he goes out in public.
Until our regular test pilot returns there will be no video. Stand by, hopefully we can have pics/vids soon.
in the meantime, this is the cheapest HP on the market today.

Our regular test pilot is un available this weekend so his Dad came by and took the buggy for a quick few hot laps around the Nerdbergring.
Here is a teaser. this will have to do until I figure out how to edit clips...

I've wasted far too much time on this video crap without success. Here is a collection of un edited clips.
Be advised it's Purdy bad, you may need motion sickness meds. (its painful being computer challenged in this era)

Frank & Stein Motor Werks always comes through! Great work! Understeers pretty bad though... Nothing Mo Power can't help with.

My video skills are non existant. I was hoping for better results. So you results may vary. Any steering things you are observing are 100% throttle induced. Our (substitute) test pilot’s first impression was “this thing needs a throttle limiter for the kids!”

The most difficult part of this whole thing was the adjusting, tuning, fixin and dialing everything in, so everything plays nice.
Building was easy!
