Nice detail!

It'll turn out amazing, don't worry, I used the same method for my NSX https://i.postimg.cc/tCKYKgbW/8-C8937-AB-1037-4-AE3-9182-5-CCB58-EB5482.jpg and with the intake pipe https://i.postimg.cc/5NCHsVBT/5CA51BFA-B05F-40FA-AAC6-7BC053849960.jpg Your foundation looks super solid. And this is what I al...

My exhaust .... for now affectionately nicknamed "Geberit" is finished in its basic shape. It is not fixed to the turbo's flange because I still have to work it. In addition, I leave the two collectors separable so that they can be roughed, finished and worked. The 2 red arrows indicate the future f...

I have finished the second manifold, they are intentionally inclined and tending towards the right to direct them towards the turbo on the exhaust side. I tried to stagger them to follow the misalignment of the cylinders itself Now I study a coupling flange and then I will work on the last piece and...

I’m trying my first scratch build of the exhaust system. Between the distance, the overhanging turbo and that the system will have to be dismantled and flanged, it will be a hard work I approached the work imitating the build technique of handmade exhausts and 2T expansions . I worked with portions ...

Once the group of turbo/frame was joined together, I started the work on the cylinder. I calculated the point to drill and create the exhaust port. I will need the six holes to insert 6 raised allen screw. The head of the Allen screw is of the same diameter as the future pipe for the manifolds, the ...

Now begins the most difficult part and unknown to me: the build of the exhaust .... and I'll see if I will be able to do it. In order to start building it, I have to fix the start and end points, that is the 6 manifolds that start from the exhaust ports and the turbo downpipe. I finished the consoli...

I have the turbo. :rockon: And now begins an unknown work: Make the exhaust syestem from scratch. I will fix the frame solidly to the engine and then I will start with the exhaust and the westgate unit https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210311/0f70a50cc8f23f3fb1440ebf6bfd483d.jpg https://uploads.tap...

I started with the main part of this conversion: the turbo. Making me the turbos by myself was and is a difficult to made and also impossible for me. So for the 0.70 cent I took a keychain with a compressor (or cold side of turbo unit) attached. Given the generous dimensions, the problem was the exh...

My good model friend of Riccardo always tells me: "the man who makes models with legos" [lol] Replicating the slightly V-shaped central bracket that follows the physiognomy of the monobloc is possible to scratch but it is a long job. My Danish friends served me the solution (as usual) on a silver pl...

Nice. Man I gotta start my RSR build

Very Nice! Which kit and scale?

This boxless 1/18 Autoart I bought cheap on ebay a while back

What a awesome model!

Viewing the 2.7 engine pics online, the Dea engine brings to light other inconsistencies and mistakes. The top of the timing cover has ribs found on other flat sixes… but not on this 2.7 With the dremel I smoothed out the ribs and reduced the height of the upper timing cover bolts I continued and I ...

The cylindes group is also smoothed. But before starting to think about the exhaust manifolds, I must first put together the engine in its total size. The upper part does not distinguish between the head, fan cowling, fuel system… it looks like the whole cooling cowling but in reality it is not. The...

Each kit has its flaws and this is part of this "game"... but what makes me smile / angry is the extreme difference in the detail of the monoblock. The lower monoblocks in comparison are always the Eidai and the Dea. In the RSR the fins of the cylinders and the 6 connections of the exhaust manifold ...
