Alternate history: M96 Cup engine

That system looks “strangely familiar” Neil ...

Typical long header design...

My suspicion is that there’s a logical way to package long primaries and this is to put them where the stock silencers sit- I imagine you could make it work if you put then somewhere else, but at what cost and why are two questions to answer before so doing.

Wonderful, are you now close to a dyno run to establish the power curve and then look at gear ratios?

[Dammit]

Well, we are closer than we have ever been- but we now need the ITB’s to be manufactured and then we need to resolve the four thousand little tasks that will no doubt crop up.

I’m spending time on the turbo thinking about vacuum, ITB’s, and things like crankcase ventilation, brake booster efficacy and so forth.

Is the engine going to have a turbo? I thought it was to be a NA screamer.

[Dammit]

Turbo-trainer - an indoor cycling trainer. Useful for allowing the mind to wander when trying to ignore the signals your legs are trying to send you suggesting that they are literally on fire.

The plan for the engine is NA, and that won’t change.

Ahh...

Reminds of the pro cyclist who used to have 'Shut up, legs!' painted/taped on his bike.

For a 997/991/992 with side deletes maybe ...

The usual design for a M96 or M97 is akin to this :

Or the 996 R/RS/RSR items :
