 Re: BMW 2cv engine conversion YIIIII HAAA Well today the coolest place around here was in my garage, outside it was 35 degrees so spend the afternoon in my garage (22 degrees Celsius). Put in the 1-2-Spark unit, which I've made about 2 weeks ago. 1 Visa coil for the left cilinder running in twin spark and 1 Visa coil for the right cilinder driving the 2 Sparkplugs of the right cilinder.. F"ck wasted spark..... Underwhile I put the charger to the battery, took an cannister of petrol... So ignition on 1-2-spark lights up and the petrol pump starts to run for about 8 seconds.. NICE. So we have petrol at both carburettors.... The carburettors are randomly picked and I didn't do anything to them Then the first attempt.. The startermotor is to weak to turn the engine into compression sh!t !! So then on the plan B.. Took another battery and made a serie connection giving 24 volt to the starter engine,, so this will do you m'therf'cker.... Now here;s the result of the second attempt to start the engine.... Notice my live comment.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrHBGswVuASo I like it a lot, I guess you like it too.. Listening to the fast revving of the engine theres power enough in it... It is a standard 2cv flywheel didn't anything to it... so I know already theres enough power in the engine.... But it is loud, very very loud, it is half an hour ago but still my ears are ringing and Geert I guess you have heard it.... But now I need a starter engine from Eccas, but it sets me back 212 euro... Who can help we with this to make it cheaper, because now the startermotor is almost as much as the whole Beamer engine....... And I need some silencers and some more silencers...  I still can't believe how well it runs at the 2 unsynchronised 2cv carburettors..... So f'ck 2cv engines, Beamer engines rules.... and 1-2-Spark ofcourse..... cheers Geo..

Re: BMW 2cv engine conversion Great! I see you also have 1-2 spark on the outside of your engine  The new Valeo starter should be smaller than the old ones, maybe this can be of help? Maybe this one: http://www.franzoesische-klassiker-shop ... ri-Ami-6-8lpgo wrote: YIIIII HAAA Well today the coolest place around here was in my garage, outside it was 35 degrees so spend the afternoon in my garage (22 degrees Celsius).

Geo, I'll go to the Anglesey 24hrs race at the end of August, could bring one back with me if it is not too big and you are happy to wait that long. Good video btw If you need good silencers you could use mini cooper RC40 ones, they work very well and are also used on many UK race cars.

Re: BMW 2cv engine conversion I can second the RC40 back box for the exhaust, I used one on the 652 engine I built in the mid-90s, sounded great!
