Corvair Forum

Yes sir, one thing I like to do just as a little bit better test I think is remove all plugs. So you know the starter is only working on rotating one piston to compression point.

hey. before you have to much spending on tryin to fix a possible fuel problem. i would check the basics. have you checked the compression and make sure you check the oil and the valve adjustment if it is weak. we had a corvair give us a problem of backfiring and we ran through fuel problems thinking...

hello, costs a lot to do a simple thing like this. it can be done but the ignition inside distirbutor needs to be changed out and you will have to have a computer in the car that needs to know the engine speed. requiring a lot of wiring and customizing. we have a turbo corvair that has a fully custo...

hello, done work with a-number of corvairs with fuel injection. as mentioned above, you can simply control fuel injection to simply add gas like a carb would for a few hundred dollars or you can investe a little more and make a corvair engine into a Digital conversion where power and fuel economy ar...

haha you know i already checked out those sweet corvairs that are on this months board. can't tell ya who i voted for tho.

haha yeah two projects is hard top maintain time but once they both finished then the wife and i can both be happy with their own car.

hello everyone, :wave: the forum here looks good been reading it over the past few months and it time to join. to introduce myself, name is Tony, currently own a 65 convertible and a 65 hardtop. and a few different parts cars. have a family history with corvairs as i got into corvair from my father ...

true sir, you bring up a good point. Laws of conservation of energy. takes energy to create it. and 4596 cfm is a lot of air and would take lots of power to move. really would be great seing a dyno chart of the converstion or at least some type values for proof of the power gain. i work in the air f...

hello all, welll time to spill the beans, the idea i had was to find a electric fork lift that is still has good electronics on it. as i mentioned i would have to create a custom mount and custom clutch housing but if you ever opend the front side of a 3 or 4 speed 66 newer transmission it would be ...

how does the air pressure between the stock corvair fan and the air pressure of this electric fan compair? for people with after market headers this i have read is not an option. this is due to the air forces that are coming up from under the car and acually pushing back against the" now opened...

anyone give any thoughts into mounting an electric motor in the back seat of the corvair, creating a custom clutch system. the idea i had was to make a custom PTO shaft that extended off the transmition input shaft , which on the corvair is located directly behind the back seat. the project would be...

I agree with the changes to the fan for weigh reasons. the question still is why was the fan designed with fan blades close on one side and farthur apart on the other side? one would think that there is a weight difference in the fan. if the far apart blades pull more air there would be greater forc...

Hello, it has been a while sense i been able to look into the electric conversion of the Corvair fan. I kind of ran into a wall with the engineering behind the engine. Correct me if i am wrong, but the engineers changed the style of the corvair fan between the early and late models. The reason for t...
