Any progress on this project?

 

Last i heard he was buying a scanner and that was the holdup.

 

Heres the update. Found out today one of the guys in the back at work has a scanner. So as soon as i grab some cleaner to get the gears nice and shiney they will be scanned. So by this week. Hopefully this weekend ave em modeled.

Sorry for the delay. Life gets in the way. ALOT

 

in for one set. whee.

 

still in on this ****.

 

What's happening in this thread? An electric oil pump? I'm totally down if it'll fit a 1.8 NA.

 

Uh... might want to re-read... It's for billet oil pump gears.

 

loki lemme know dude my new rods could use some nice op gears

 

jesus ******* christ...you're right!!!

 

I could use some new pistons.

 

sweet deal Loki, i know all about life getting in the way man
keep us posted on the progress as its happening
once you map the gearsm whats the next step? do you already have a material of choice that you want to use etc.?
keep up the good work

 

Steps:

1. Get oil gear - done
2. Loki sits on his fat *** for 2 months doing nothing - done
3. Gets gears scanned
4. Uses points from the scan to recreated the profile
5. Take model to machinist get cost estimate.
6. Choose material
7. Gather money
8. Install prototype.
9. Sell the design to FM for 40 gabillion dollars...

Or get a group buy together.

 

what step are you on now? 3ish? 2b?

 

3ish. I have a good scanner at work i just found out about. I just need to clean the gears and get 10 minutes to walk the 15 feet and get it done. My friend who is going to do the modeling is coming over saturday for the autshow. Between the show and a party that night i am going to make him do some work.

 

UPDATE:

1. Get oil gear - done
2. Loki sits on his fat *** for 2 months doing nothing - done
3. Gets gears scanned - done
4. Uses points from the scan to recreated the profile
5. Take model to machinist get cost estimate.

loki, how much longer are we looking at to get these things completed?

I'm really itching to do the swap and install next weekend, so I've been thinking about just running my stock 9.5:1 bottom end, then doing the engine build in a couple years. I have everything but these gears, track season in 2 weeks away, and I'm probably going out of town again for 3 months, in 3 weeks. I want to build this ******, bad.

 

I would not expect em that quickly. We didn't get a chance to model em this weekend.

 

sweet, at least we are making progress...
is the modeling hard? i would assume thats the hardest part outside machining maybe...but what do i know...
im really anxious to hear what machinist will say about $$
keep up the good work

 

I'd be interested in a set.

 

superdupermega dead thread resurrection!

Loki, gimme an update, i am into my build now, well, still waiting on some rings and to get my pistons coated, so it may be time to plan for a set of these

Let me know what's up...or did you give up on us? Please say no!!!
