That looks awesome that engine. What some people can do with a 3d printer is magic. I love those trumpets. And i started wiring my first car last week, it gives a new dimension to modelkitbuilding. Great work, no waiting for the rest of the build
Beautiful job! The ITB trumpets are awesome! I built this kit as well, but I don’t have a 3D printer so I had come up with my own solution. What I really think is very useful are the small ports you printed for the mechanical fuel injection distributor to receive the fuel lines! And by the way, the fuel lines that you bent up were also incredible! Extremely time intensive work! Did you use the ignition coil that gets mounted on the fan shroud? I didn’t see it and you had enough holes printed on the distributor to accommodate the coil wire. By the way, you cook pay for your 3D printer just selling those distributors! In 4, 6, and 8 cylinder variants!
I didnt put the ignition coil on the fan shroud because I will be putting it at the rear of the engine on the chassis, this is how it was layed out in some reference pics I found. Yeah I do plan to sell some 3D printed bits like this in the future. Thanks for your comment :)
Thank you! I 3D modelled them myself so I don't have a link to share unfortunately. I have the .obj file that can be imported into slicing software but not sure how I would share that on youtube 😅 Thanks for watching
Looks great, but you forgot that an RSR engine with high butterfly throttle bodies would have twin plug heads, as such a 12 pin distributor. Sorry, I have my anorak on today.
Haha no need to apologise. I noticed a few differences when looking at ref pics but seeing as this was my first try at adding wires I thought 6 would be enough 😅
FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Those trumpets are awesome! Do you have a link to the cad files you printed them from? I have this kit and would love to use them! Beautiful work!
