New engine in my stivo - GREEN POWER!

[negatron]

Righto,

its been a long time since i've had my rolla, but i couldn't resist when i saw a blue stivo come on the market cheap, the fool had tried to fiddle with FI and blown the engine up so I picked it up as rolling stock to build a weekend dragger (CAMS license only)

will I go a new 2zz in?

Heck no!

I got a special lil box from the Holden factory sitting in my garage ready to go.

its all easy once you stop needing to worry bout getting it road registerted.

fitting stuff under the bonnet? A thing of the past, we're going to have most of the block sticking out like the american draggers of old.

The most impressive thing?

this baby is going to run off veges and nuts!

I don't understand the exact science of it but our team engineer works for the CSIRO in alternative fuels and has come up with this.

We're in the final stages of negotiations for corporate sponsorship from the energy companies to promote green fuels.

Here's a pic of the prototype engine.

no dyno figures yet, we're still in build phase but i'll post up more details when I have more info.

Green Power!

this should prove interesting... can't wait to see how things develop Kev :D

[negatron]

Sigh, i was hoping for some feed back on the engine build too.

Have a look at the block again and you'll see some of my own custom work to bung our magic power source in.

Because I'm not too familiar with holden running gear i'm not sure if i've used the right gears.

See the yellow power gear in the front of the block?

Thats where all the torque is made! i just hope the rolla sub fram can take it

[MR22ZZ]

lol, I didn't notice that before because the photo was reduced.

won't do much with that much slack in the belt either :P

[negatron]

Yeah, don't worry, its just like that for fitting.

Our egg head reakons the kevlar belt will the the trick but i'm thinking of retro fitting a chain system in there, it'll be able to take the abuse much better.

This is going to be awesome. You guys should really think about documenting this on video. I'd buy the DVD hehehe

Ha ha ha

Nice one! I think it will need a few vitamins thrown into the fuel mixture

The best bit of all is that you can easily double your power by expanding the yellow power gear. May require more beggies tho.

Is that a rubber glove on the engine stand? I hope it is...
