When you already have a tube chassis, Indycar transaxled, twin turbo V8 242, it would be rude not to use Inconel for the entire exhaust system!

Pro: Super light, heat resistance properties.What are the advantages of an inconel exhaust?
I love this thread, its such a great read........ Oh and by the way, completely by coincidence, I just bought a B8444s to swap into my 240 wagon.

Everything you guys do is the sexiest thing ever
Is that a TR7 on the lift?
You guys should take a break from all of this FRCing so we can finally finish the pickup bed.
I am still looking forward to never being allowed to drive it!![]()
i am continuously and thoroughly impressed with every step and execution thereof. from design to conception, i appreciate (and am inspired) by every detail. well done, keep up the good work.
also, some people who fashion themselves as career welders hardly hold a candle to a one month hiatus.
As I've said before, amazing thread!!
We'd talked a little offline about cam phasor locking the exhaust VVT assemblies (My ECU can't run 4x VVT channels) that suggestion was new to me if I'm honest so I went away and have done some googling.
whilst I understand the concept I have a couple of questions,
I've seen a number of the kits available with pie segments inserts to lock the assembly. Is balancing an issue here or not? Would it be better to fill all the voids to better replicate it being filled with oil? Or will that adversely affect the oil flow path in the journal??
Where would be best to lock the timing?? Is there an accepted figure for the exhaust cam?
Cheers

Simply incredible. I hope you guys will bring this out to some event where it can be appreciated.
That's my contribution to this thread... soiling all of the photos with the visage of a spectral TR7 forever hovering in the background. Mwa ha ha!
For reals though, it was my grandfather's car. Dad inherited it and couldn't keep it. I found it on craigslist randomly a few years ago and bought it back for $500. It's a 1980 with the red & black tartan interior and no rust.![]()
Liam,
My half baked and hare-brained scheme is to just drill and tap the rotary piston and machine some tangential slots in the cover plate to convert the hydraulic phaser into an adjustable cam gear. This might be a terrible idea but I frankly haven't tackled the job yet so I might be glossing over some critical point. When it comes time to do the job I'll look into it in more detail.
