Crane Racing ignition module - TURBO

Still waiting for the solid lifters i mounted the Crane Racing Ignition module today. The module let you adjust the advance and to limit the rpm. This ignition module is fit for a turbo configuration.

The ignition module and the rotor which was not included in the kit

The rotor has a track that fits in to the groove in the crankshaft.

Fit the rotor onto the shaft and tighten with the screw and lock washer.

The first trial mounting of the ignition - This indicates that there will be a second because

The previous owner had destroyed the treads and fitted a bigger bolt without informing Crane.....

By using a Dremel the track was adjusted to fit the bigger bolt size.

And on it went - Align the 2 opening in the rotor vertically to fit the module.

The dip switch was changed to kick start and the module is installed ready to go.

Yesterday the Turbo Pressure Adapter for the carburetor was fabricated. From a stainless steel plate, some hydraulic pipes and a DN50  pipe this unique part was made from nothing more than an idea, 3 friends and plenty of coffee. Follow the manufacturing in pictures.

Thursday afternoon after work I went to a workshop at Mongstad together with 2 friends. We had an idea of what to make and a Dellorto to fit it on.

The stainless steel plate was found  and shaping started.

The contour of the carburetor was marked onto the plate.

The 40 mm holes and the fixing bolt holes was drilled on the bottom plate.

The DN 50 (2") pipe was fitted to the endplate.

When Stein Kyrre and I says that WE are going todo  something it always means that Martin end up doing it...

And when Martin do something its always done right.

Stein Kyrre took the role as Master Designer and introduced the radius corners made by splitting a pipe.

Distance pieces were turned to the right length and fitted to the mounting holes.

The box was welded together and the last plate placed.

Last welding before grinding.

After a rough grind the Turbo Pressure Adapter was fitted to the carburetor and it fits like a glove.

And here the turbo will press in the amount of air that both the turbo and I find suitable.

When finished it will shine like a star.
It is Friday, its weekend and that is just perfect!
