In the end I stuck with the Nytro. You gave me food for thought though thanks guys. I am in the process of a head shim now. You have that right, there is never enough power.

i had the opportunity to buy a cheap chassis and I have the engine already.

I have seen a couple people put the fuel regulator from an apex on the Nytro, does anyone sell the piece so that it will bolt on?

yeah Im just not a fan of the Nytro chassis.

How hard would it be to put the nytro engine in a apex chassis. I thought i read that the motor mounts line up, would I just need spacers side to side to line up the clutch? I was thinking I would get a header and build a turbo for it.

can anyone describe what they do to return the oil to the top of the engine on a Nytro using the vacuum? I have a rear mount and I am thinking about removing the pump.

what is wrong with it. Im sure if you post your symptoms people will be able to point you in a direction.

is it gravity oil return or a pump? you might check the pump or for a restriction in the return line. Any restrictions will allow oil out the seals.

well I dont want to clog up your post. But I was thinking about pressing the drivers. Im thinking I am confusing myself here without looking at it and just putting it in words. So the driveshaft is only so long and the chaincase can move on it side to side. The only problem is the length...

thats awesome, nice work. Thanks for the ideas, I think I will try that. The chaincase will be moving out from the chasis so Im not sure I need spacers there, the clutch side I can spacer off the chasis for the drive shaft. And as you know the jackshaft sticks out on the clutch side so I...

cool setup. I see on snowest you are planning to re-do it since it is thin. I assume from what you have planned here you plan to run the aluminum under the chaincase right off the tunnel. On mine I have .25" aluminum and I realized yesterday it wont fit under the chancase. I will have to...

so out of curiosity what did you base the motor mount hole distance on? Did you get measurements from a Yamaha chassis and put them in CAD? I guess another way to put it is how did you determine the distance for the belt (clutch center to center)?

thats awesome, is the hole to the left of the jackshaft the motor mount hole?

Yeah I was thinking the same. I have tried every which way to save it but the mount on mine is right over it.

Are you planning on using the front cooler?
