Fatih's Demon V8

[fth79]

Hi everyone,

I' m Fatih from Turkey. It very good to be here. I was walking around for a long time. I tried to read every threads. First of all my English is not good for engineering. Sorry about that.

I purchased Demon v8's plans. This is my first experience with engines. I have a good enough shop and i think i can achieve to built it up. I have build several scale ship models.

I will add my shop photos.

I have a very important question. I want to built it bigger than plans. I don' t know how can i say " double size" )

Is it a true way to make it bigger or may i face with problems with dimensions or sizes etc.

I just think i calculate all measurements times 2 and i find the dimension.

Would you please help about that. After your guidances i will start up tomorrow.

Thank you,

Fatih

HI good engine project since it's you're first engine build
I would stick to the plans and instructions from Steve. This way
if something goes wrong Steve will guide you . As your build goes
you could see clearance and how it fits and from there do the math
to double the size.

enjoy

Doubling the plans is the easy part. Then you will need to find bearings, springs, gears, seals etc. Going double you will have a good chance of finding 2x purchased parts. Its very possible if you plan ahead and verify part availability before you start.

Hi steve,

Thank you very much for your help. I purchased plans from minicastings.com. I think the plans belongs to you

I have to study plans very well. I' m not a engineer so it is very hard to read them )

It looks like you have a well equiped and set up workshop there, plenty of tool holders for the lathe.

Hi Fatih,

You have best new machineshop I have ever seen. From the looks of it,you must be a veteran machinist from the range of tools on displayed.

Warm Welcome from faraway Singapore.

Hi,

5 years ago I visited Istanbul and met up with a forum member there. Here's a thread I reported: http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/showthread.php?t=10107

Unfortunately Erdem seems to have dropped off the forum, but perhaps he's still around and would be a good source of info/assistance if you recognize him from the photo. You didn't say where in Turkey you live.

I think a few of us over hear might be having envy over your shop. Looks so neat and clean and well equipped and very light...

Mine is a dark dingy room in my old basement (house from 1895) that was once the coal storage room. And I can't get my milling machine down there so it is at another location.

 

[ozzie46]

Looks more like show room than a shop. Very nicely done and an envy to me for sure.th_wavth_wavth_wav

Amazing workshop, I'm getting the feeling that I must clean and sort my work area as you are putting me to shame.

Hi Kirk,

I don't know him but there is a famous radio guy i think he could be. Did he say he has a partner as Cenk ?

 

[fth79]

Thank you very much guys for your kind words. I cannot work in a messy or dirty area thank you very much warm welcoming again.

Erdem has/had a radio show, so he may be the one. You might try to contact him to see.
