Can't is a four letter dirty word
very excited to get rolling on a couple of engines now that my Bultaco is finished. The plan is for Zeke to finish all the sheet metal and I am going to start sourcing parts for the engine. Zeke got a concussion two weeks ago playing football and he can't weld for another week. The next milestone for this build is The Handbuilt Show in April. Fuller has been real understanding that Zeke is in Junior high and that the hormones are kicking in...simo said:Looks like a pile of fun, glad you could undastnd the kiwi's
I worked in japan with a canadian (i know its not a part of the US) it took him 3 days to figure out that the kiwis on the team werent speaking maori.

Zoöid Third Times a Charm CB175
One of the complaints about Cafe Racer Tv and Naked Speed is they didn't show much of the build process. Here are the first two episodes of the series of five episodes that they shot for zooid that hopefully does a better job of chronicling the build process. Episode 1 ZOÖID cb175 build for Bryan Fuller "the deal" https://youtu.be/-rF2__tRI5I

Episode 2 is the beginning of the build. We brought a rolling chassis to Fullers shop in Atlanta Georgia. Bryan and Zeke both were drawing before hand different concepts. Prior to Atlanta we spent an all nighter at our friends shop doing the trapezoid in the front hub. We also stretched this swing arm 3 inches. Was pleasantly surprised that Bryan is very laid back and organic about the creative process and as you will see in future videos the bike just evolves. ZOÖID is an organism that allows another organism to move freely within itself. https://youtu.be/6uPV-PWzf0M

yes...Sonreir sent us these goodies and it is time to put them into action. Now to come up with a plan! We are going to build upon what we learned from Victoria and have some fun! First I need to finish reading this book. My oldest son has a WRX and the first thing we did to it was install and STI intercooler. Thermal management is the key according to Corky.jag767 said:

Indeed. Top mount right?
One of my other projects is a 2007 pontiac solstice gxp (turbo). A big bar and plate intercooler with nice cast aluminum end tanks was installed right away. Also with a small motor I'm curious where in the rpm range you will be able to make any appreciable boost. It'd be nice to get some low end torque if it spools quickly enough. Are you going to a throttle body setup?

in the research phase/learning... here is a good string I found with the same turbo vz21 http://buggynews.com/turbo-250-t47336.html looking into the micro squirt and other mapable fuel injection options. This buggy gets it to spool quickly. They also found some options for smaller intercoolers. Yes his is a top mount STI!jag767 said:

I don't know if we will do this for Bryan's bike or put it in one of of other bikes. Victoria is the easiest to convert to a lower compression just by swapping heads. However if we could do this and make it asthetically pleasing like Brian Cases Motus bike who knows?
