ando76 4,354 Posted October 5, 2014 agreed - with the price of these cameras coming down, lots of people are using them for suspension set up - particularly the formula 500 boys in speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TF_250 398 Posted October 12, 2014 Wow this is one of the best unique cortinas getting around fantastic job mate I may have missed it but how is the water pump set up? and do you have a close up pic of it and the pulleys? its on page 3 mate, its just a csr pump into the stock housing and a use a ati sb chev balancer and vbelt pulley as i only have the alternator to run. How did you go on saturday night Jason. I wasnt there I just passed you on the road near the raceway Didn't race just went out and weighed the thing not a happy result. 1 scottly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted October 12, 2014 So just how bad was it? Less than 100kg or more? The stock crank would weigh a lot more than the old x-flow crank for a start and then the double cam's, bigger cylinder head, longer cam chain, twin cam gears, fatter block and better main caps. I guess all of this adds up but to just how much I'd be real keen to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted October 12, 2014 Really shows the power of the new setup with running PB mph if it's heavier than the old setup 1 TF_250 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TF_250 398 Posted October 13, 2014 I knew it would be heavier but need to know how much as it is factor in the front half of the track. Now I know the lighting begins I want it back close to the old weight to compare the time better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted October 13, 2014 Yep at the end of the day it is all about shifting the mass. There are big gains to be had by knife edging those cranks and also gun drilling the big ends. You can get them back to the same weight as a standard xf crank by those two mods. Are you allowed to run fibreglass bumpers etc. in your class? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottly 475 Posted October 13, 2014 its on page 3 mate, its just a csr pump into the stock housing and a use a ati sb chev balancer and vbelt pulley as i only have the alternator to run. Didn't race just went out and weighed the thing not a happy result. Thanks for the reply mate appreciate it, is that the oil pump behind the alternator or the water pump if not where is the water pump located? Sorry to be a painful I am learning off the people who have done this conversion. it's all new to me and I'm starting a fg conversion in a xd and I want to delete the p/s and a/cCheers Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
