Re: ABS on an Atom

Speed sensors would most likely be directly in the wheel bearings, so you would only see a VR or hall sensor around.

Re: ABS on an Atom

Yep the classic BMW Teves unit, unfortunately it is not really known to cope very well with split size wheel diameters.
Not sure about the circumference difference on the Atom 4

If you got 8k+ I guess you can have the Bosch Motorsport ABS system fitted

Re: Gear shifting gate mechanism

Indeed, afaik Atom 1 and 2 have the same MG gear selector anyway. Maybe that's why he does not know about Atom 1

do you perhaps remember, whether you ordered the MGF kit or the MGTF kit?
Just ask him for the Atom specific kit, he provided quite a few dozens now and knows what it is about

Re: JRSC belt path

the mercracing tensioner is definitely the right way to do it. For the "easy" idler removal, hundreds of Elises are running this way, but tbh it's difficult to find right belts and it may lead inadequate stress on the SC itself (as the auto tensionner pulls directly on it and not on an idl...

Re: Water temperature

waterless are supposed to be less efficient, but deal better with air locks and boiling point, in a way that you can run safely high temperatures (120+) with it.
But that would need mapping changes in safety maps to make sense

Re: Water temperature

As anyone tried flushing the coolant and replacing with non antifreeze one for the summer ?
Using Sikolene Pro CCA Ultra (or Mocool) with distilled water is supposedly up to 20% better on heat transfer

Re: Water temperature

On my Atom 2 I have (I think) a sensor on top of the water outlet and one inline on the hose that heads from it to the rad. Arrows on pic - please excuse the condition of the engine it was pre the xmas refurb Upping this, as said on next post, on earlier Hondas the fan seems to be controlled by a s...

Re: JRSC belt path

You can remove the idler pulley, but be warned, belts are complicated to find.
I am now running a 2.9" Mercracing pulley, good size belt is a 7PK1196. No idea if there is an adequate belt for the stock pulley

Re: Side Pods A3

If it goes in place of the second radiator (horizontal one) I'll be surprised it would be that effective with all the heat coming from the main water radiator just centimeters away. Maybe trying to diverting the airflow should work. As far as I understand, that is the exact set-up on the Nomad R. N...

Re: Side Pods A3

Henry posted on another earlier thread :- "I will also say :drool: If you are interested, we do do a 'stealth' charge cool kit (so no side pods) fits up front where the 'hot country radiator' goes. good for about 30-35bhp on a blown K24." If it goes in place of the second radiator (horizo...
