Finished the port exhaust surge tube design and fab today will install tomarrow.
Comming down to the wire.

Lookin' real sweet, Bro!

Bruce, what kind of genset is that?

NextGen 3.5kw

Like the can of CX in the foreground.

Man, that's pretty. Wish I had the time, skill, and money to imitate it.

Best wishes.

Bruce,

Are those D4s or D6s?

I like the green dye in the rear bulkhead (assuming that is it not original) makes it look stock.

Ian.

Those are 4's and the color is the devinicell.

Very nice Bruce. I like the GenSet encapsulation box. Motivating to say the least.

UV:

Not a comment about the "vulvas?" Must be the holiday spirit thing!

Bruce,

Clean installation...pretty work. What is the HP rating on those Vulvas?

Garry

260hp.

Those engines are very wide. Had to raise the gen up 5" off the shelf and push outward to gain a couple more inches in clearance to get the sound cover off and get in to bolt down and adjust mounts and hook up starter cable. It worked out fine cause it gets the gen higher for easier service which upon closer look today, the heat exchanger has a hole in it.

Warrantee and it ain't been run yet.

Engine water hose will be the last thing to go on after final alignment is done so I can get to the mounts.
Tight, but managable.

Scot,
Thats the standard sound enclosure for that gen set. Both front and rear enclosures remove for service.

Also if it ever needs to be pulled, remove wing and unhook cables and hoses and 4 nuts on the mounts and the genset will lift out with engine in place leaving the base tray.

Being in the service business I try and do all my installs with the future service guy in mind.

Very nice. If my engine compartments turn out half as nice I'll win awards for craftsmanship.

Looking good! on that job there Bruce, hope mine turns out that sweet. Is that the same boat that was on those awesome support stands you had in the shop.

I've got the next gen. 5kw in mine, but I don't think the sound box would have fit.
