old timer
Hi broli,Originally posted by broli View PostYour old timer is starting to look more like a rocket
.
Yeah ... it's the re-birth.
Actually I'm trying to keep the steam entrained in the inlet flow to fight condensation. Unfortunately I also have to cool the bowl so the gas doesn't boil (other duct). I'll likely make that a 1 inch duct from a tee and plumb in the right side heater box. That stuff hasn't been used in years.

Firestorm plugs
LUC,
Or anyone else who can help me. I would like to get information on the contact in order to get 12 (or how ever many I can) Firestorm replica plugs.
Thanks guys,
Xack

new setup
Hi everyone,
Here is a picture of the new setup. Warm air and steam into the carburetor. Carburetor bowl cooled with bleed air from fan shoud (right side). Air filter inside cab behind driver on the floor. I kept the crankcase recirculation in also, so I think I'm still legal.
Peace,
Greg

plugs
Hi Ash,Originally posted by ashtweth View PostYou all are, especially ALL working together. So is Robin, plugs are here and finally the god dam car is fixed
.
I gotta say Robin is not just a talented machinist , he is also an artist
Take a look at these, i almost feel guilty running them they are so perfect

We are going to take these plugs on TV and plug them so to speak with the open source engineering credits, we are so grateful Robin sent these thanks to LUC
, and we are really grateful that they both have enabled the access to these, it looks better us showing Kupra's plugs and showing the relevance to open source engineering then just mentioning them alone.
Will start some test as soon as the car is back this after noon.
thanks Robin and Luc.
Sincerely
Ash
Did you get my post about how these plugs run a cold, un-choked engine all by themselves almost as good as a regular plug fired with a plasma circuit? This was my first test, initial test result and conclusion.
Peace,
Greg

I still stand on my analysis of the engine test cycle I am running.
It's getting into the high 40's in my shop right now (AM). Since I installed the Firestorm replicas, I noticed that the Bug starts and runs solid when cold, no choke and WITHOUT the Water Spark Plug plasma circuit running. Amazing! I energized the Water Spark Plug circuit AND IT RAN EVEN BETTER ... #%$@&*!
Gotta keep working on the new water feed for the steam. I'm using a small variable speed peristaltic pump this time. Now I can increase the flow as a function of engine speed ... not automatically but at least it's something.
Peace,
Greg
Thanks Greg for this update on the Firestorm replicas
Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to share with all

Hi everyone,
Xack PM'd me and told me I acted like a jerk. Ok ... I acted like a jerk. He also wanted me to apologize in this forum. Ok ... I apologize for being a jerk.

ok
all rightyOriginally posted by Xack View PostGreg,
You could just have sited the entry. I guess I missed it. Sorry dude.
That comment was not meant to be the way you took it, I'm pretty sure.
I was hoping to generate discussion around that and perhaps put it on the radar since long term performance and engine issues ARE relavent.
So you called me out on the testing. I'm doing the best I can right now. Admittedly, I'm not as far along as you but I'm getting my test vehicle this week. Also, I would like to get some specifications on making or getting some plugs.

I see that "iridium" has been mentioned two times here. I don't know how big of a problem wear still is but here's an intresting isolated post I read.
