Jeff Young's New TR8 Motor

[JeffYoung]

Right now the only sound it makes is the great sucking sound of extracting money from my wallet.

A bit more progress on the TR8:

[Knestis]

Are those independent O2 sensors in each header primary...?

K

[JeffYoung]

Nope, just EGT gauges. Relics from the carb era, but I will keep them.

Cameron is handling the O2 sensors, which will be further downstream in the collectors, where they were stock.

Hey Jeff can you send me a link to where I could see some pictures of your car I would love to see it I don't even know what a TR-8 looks like.

[Ron Earp]

Tr8.

[Z3_GoCar]

Just like a Tr-7 only with a V8 under the hood. I remember the comercials on TV "The Shape of Things to Come!" When I was a tween I wanted a Tr-8 for my car collection, when my uncle told me he'd test driven one I was jealous Even though I've gone the Bimmer route I still have a soft spot for 'em.

BTW, the BMW group kept a couple of the BMC brands when they sold the pieces off. Along with Mini, they also own Triumph. There's hope for Triumph Motor Cars to reappear.

[Monkeywrench]

Neat!

The FI on those old Rovers use a flapper style AFM, correct?

[JeffYoung]

Yessir. We have it in the intake track as required by the rules, and the flapper is operational, also as required by the rules, but we are using a MAP sensor (we can add one per the rules) to measure air flow.
