cc'ing combustion chambers

Post by Metalfab_101 »

OK so this isn't exactly a megasquirt question, BUT i'll be running megasquirt on this engine :lol:

Has anyone got a glass/perspex plate to measure combustion chamber volume?

If you find a plastics supplier they sould have plenty scraps that would do the job.

I have some 10mm acrylic that my brother got out of the bin of a plistics supplier. its about 700mm x 200mm. you could have a piece of it if you want to visit the Gold Coast.

cheers

Thanks Dan!

I'm trying to find something locally but if that doesnt work out i'll give you a yell. I have to drop off a PC down the coast at some stage so I could drop in. I'll PM you when I know what im doing.

cheers,
