Must admit, all info re cooling exit came from Peter Garrison, I
really like people that think outside the square rather than accepting
"conventional".
If the photo below attaches, it shows the
engine being setup a couple of years ago, wedge duct can be seen on
radiator, divergent duct is not on the plane but goes under the engine
mount, exhaust is all fabricated on farm, manifold is piece of 150x50 mm
oval cattle rail 3mm thick with 3 50x25 mm RHS stubs welded to exhaust
flange, pipe angles were deliberate to reflect as much sound back into
engine as possible, but not restrict flow, seems to work so far. no
muffler needed. stainless heat shield now wraps around manifold but not
pipe, its this area which is blistering paint so need to stick some foil
to inside cowl.
Intake now has small filter attached directly to TB for simplicity.
