I found the diydrones website a while ago and it inspired me a lot. I'm gathering stuff to build robots.
I'm also working on a european robotics project which is pretty awesome (nifti project). Le ... |

I also had the plan to turn a 924 into a robot, but not the robot you describe.
I want to build an autonomous car.
you're into robotics apparently? |

Hope you dont plan on tracking the car with those calipers.
The temp will destroy that coating.....
Or, not.

Hey all,
I've got a few more questions about my engine build.. It's been a slow process to say the least.
-Can I do the honing myself? I've seen some tools that you can attach to a drill to do ... |

If you can make it better for less money, you've got a market. So see it as a good thing.
Or am I thinking too Chinese this way? |

So if the light went on, you should have seen it coming at the pressure gauge.
I don't think you're looking at a pressure gauge in the situation you mentioned but I am interested in the pressure ... |

i'm 100% sure they have electronic ignition. My 81 had it too. 80 was the limbo year if I'm not mistaking. |

Ok haven't found that specific one I guess... but I see 45mm housing bore as a downside, while you probably see it as an advantage for the stroking, am I right? |

No, if we are talking about the same rods, the bigend bore is 48.00mm and the pin (journal) diameter is 45.00.
All the other specs are exactly the same as you mentioned.
edit: still, I have to tha ... |

The weight of the rods is spread indeed, but I only saw moments ago that the weight difference is max. 8gram, so in the piston/rod combo, stock maximum of 14+8 = 22 gram is allowed. I read it as more ... |

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying there's a heap of pistons and rods out there for our application, just that it does not have to be a brand-combo. But I read the starting post again, and you've al ... |

Woops. You're totally right about the centerline when grinding the crank.
And I didn't mention custom pistons... because that's a way that's not appealing to me. Like I said before, the off-the-she ... |

The Neon/Stratus/PT Cruiser 2.0/2.4L motrs came in SOHC and DOHC versions. Both are 16-valve heads and share bore spacing with the earlier 2.2/2.5L motors.
The bore spacing is similar to the 924's ... |

Actually my estimates were unfair. I calculated heavy modifications to the crankshaft (extreme milling etc.) which could kick the performance up a notch. Also I reckon, whether it will be realizable o ... |

Haven't read the whole thread but I'm interested.
I've got access to a grinding machine which can grind offset, and we've inquired nitriding which was a fraction of the quoted 170... it would be ab ... |
