spacer plate thickness

[General Baxter]

i have no idea

0.8mm,
1.0mm,
1.2mm,
1.5mm,
1.7mm,
2.0mm,

x16xe with about 15psi lol

[Paul]

need to work out compression etc queue some clever ass coont lol.

I think between 1.5-2.0 is the norm...

[scottc1088]

think the one iv got is a 2.0 but its at my parent's house. ill have a look for you as soon as i can

[General Baxter]

thats why im waiting for stu or burgo to see it lol

[Stuart]

I dont know the exact thickness needed you gimp.

measure the CR, then play with my CR calculator and guesstimate the thickness needed to get the CR you think you want.

[General Baxter]

i cant find any info on the x16xe engine lol

[Stuart]

since you will take the head off anyway, MEASURE it :p

[General Baxter]

no never lol

[Stuart]

the run without a spacer. spacers are for gays

[Adam]

I had an excel program somewhere that told you the CR as you entered the spacer plate thickness, fook knows what ive done with it though, might of been on my old laptop

may be of no use AT ALL

[Mike]

1.3mm

[General Baxter]

1.3mm

how do you get this ?

[mowgli]

i think he guessed.

look at it this way, the bigger the spacer, the bigger the boost

[let_nova]

edit:not to self stop being a cock

[mowgli]

/\/\ you are repeating me....

[let_nova]

no you said the bigger the spacer the bigger the boost making it sound like it automatically increases the boost

sorry im just being anal

[mowgli]

i was writing it for baxter.... i knew he'd understand

[let_nova]

sorry i have edited lol

[Edd]

My Courtenay 8v one is 2mm if that's any help to you

[General Baxter]

whats that boost at ?

[General Baxter]

using stus thingy i think iv made it all up lol

comp ratio std, 10.5:1
compressed vol, 42cc

[mowgli]

face it baxter, you are off the map with this engine, somewhere near the 'here be dragons' bit.... everything you are doing to it is an adventure.

[General Baxter]

lol

[Stuart]

put a 500mm spacer in lol

[mowgli]

put a 500mm spacer in lol

that'd be about right, i reckon

[Graeme]

I think you may have to raise the bonnet slightly for a half a meter spacer

[mowgli]

lower mounts will do it

[Graeme]

I didn't think of that

[Stuart]

and slant mount the engine.

[djbrowney]

why not just use two metal head gaskets and you can make up your desired thickness with just using so many layers of the gasket ???

[turbo-boy]

2mm spacer with 1 headgasket. really depends if you want to runbig boost but the thicker the spacer the slower it will be until the turbo kicks in. are you using aftermarket management?

[let_nova]

standard managment

[turbo-boy]

you gooing to be using a 5th injector or how you sortin the fueling side out?

its allways on boost even from 800rpm lol turbos are for gayers lol

iv sorted all the fuel crap
