When RichardE started his EBIS project we have discussed some things and he originally started buidling someting to my idea.
A friend also wanted to have a break in bench so he could take over this non finished building from RichardE with the electronics included and I offered to finish it to a complete working bench.
The used motor is a small format 370 type with a gearbox with the right RPM output, I only hope it is strong and reliable enough. I added some greese in the gearbox to be sure the gears are good lubricated.
So I started it with making a bathtube and modifying the mechanics. This will be placed on a slide in the bath for an easy mounting. The cables for the heater and temp sensor will go through a slot on the side covered by a plate so no loose wirering has to go through the cap.
Also there seems a 0.5mm differencs on the height of the crankshaft between a Novarossi and a Picco so I made a 0.5mm shim to raise the electric motor to fit Nova based engines. Something I did solve with my 1st build by using a small CVD shaft.
I made it ready to connect all electronics, I hope to have it finished next weekend. I still has one Ielasi tuned untouched in the box, that will be the test subject of the machine.
