Are you going to bring this thing to the Chicago meet? For joy rides and random whooping.

Looks like it gets the job done! (and really well!)
Why purple clamps? Not bashing, just curious!

Brilliance. Sheer brilliance... I guess the purple isn't the highlight of the engine.

[Ferret]

you aren't worried about engine motion cracking the piping??
I would have expected you to use a bellows coupler to allow some motion as the engine moves.

I was just thinking that, unless Jon is using solid motor mounts, that engine's gonna shift something awful on spool-up...

Unless there's some flex in it there that I'm missing?

Why would I use wiggins clamps and then put a coupler in the middle?

Have you used a wiggins clamp? There are not rigid. They both twist and deflect. The whole point to using wiggins clamps is to have a very sturdy, leak-proof charge pipe.

And look at any car with Wiggins clamps:






They're used on aircraft for their ability to flex and hold an insane amount of pressure without leaking. They are used for air, fuel, water, etc.

AngryPopTart - they are from aircraft, not used on vehicles in the OEM.
