looks like a very good idea for the home tuner when do you start taking orders? |

ha ha. pretty dam cool... All we used to do was drill a hole into the top of a dampener, fit a multi coloured bit of straight coat hanger wire, painted at different heights strips of red, yellow, blue, green etc & drive with the bonnet off so you can easy see it

Potential problems I can see would be the wire bouncing around or something with the pressure. Its also going to be difficult to install as the wire will not like being spun on the piston, maybe have to install it with the dashpot removed then fit the dashpot.. But as soon as the engine is back together I'll give it a try.. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

just one ill mention, have you thought about putting some sort of stop in the end, just so you dont lose the pin/vane when you come on boost or go over a pothole

Good point, I kept that vane as light as possible so that it has the least effect on the piston height. though I have a brass rod just in case. Currently if I turn it upside down it falls out and that would stop that as well, would help with screwing it into the dashpot as well.. I'm already thinking about a Mk2, mount the sensors on a board, use a plug (maybe flat ribbon cable) to interconnect so that it can be spun on easier and maybe a different enclosure so that you can drop the vane in after its installed then seal it, but before I do that I want to try this one to see if the theory flies.

Hi, Excellent bit of inventing! But the name sounds untoward! Cheers, Gavin :) gavin , have you been reading books by the bronte sisters again ? Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

terry , could you drill a row of holes down the side of the su bell ,and have sensors in the other side ,and then as the whole air piston goes up it cuts off the lights to the other side ? it would have to be sealed of course ..

Hmm.. Would have to look at the shape of the piston..I would think that you would have to at least mount the sensors off centre as the rod that the damper piston runs in must be half way up and does go all the way up into the screw in part, but if they were aimed at the largest part of the piston and offcenter that may work... I wonder if there is a mist of fuel up in there that would upset the sensors? Edited by Turbo Tel on 4th May, 2008. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk
