What to do with an unwanted ES9J engine ?

[Stickyfinger]

any thoughts ?


(no coffee tables )

Was it a runner and is it complete?

[Stickyfinger]

Yes and yes

Could you shoehorn it into Daffodil? That would be an interesting project!

[Stickyfinger]

Daffodil has been sold....hence the engine is unwanted

[Hell Razor5543]

Then you need to update your Cars list. Still, it would have been an interesting project (and WOW would she have surprised boy racers in their hot hatchbacks!).

You could remove the sump and the heads, then turn the engine upside down, replace the flywheel with a crank handle and you have a ready made 6 pot potato masher!!

[Stickyfinger]

That's a new one |:)

Knowing how you're such a keen greenie You could supply your own electricity needs with a domestic wind turbine, and you could shove a propeller onto the engine and use it to create a suitable wind for those days when there's no wind blowing. Simple

Even simpler, you could just point the exhaust at the wind turbine and do away with the propellor

I was thinking add two turbos and 24 alternators

A BX with a seized engine needing TLC? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-Citroen ... r=1&_rdt=1

That just has to be saved. Same year, colour, interior as ours was. If I were in UK, I'd be jumping at that, and fitting an XUD9 — or even an EV project. ES9 though, Mike??

BX is too narrow for the engine/gearbox....

There was someone asking a couple of days ago why Tesla don't fit a turbine and generator on the roof so they never run out of electricity.*

James frequently says that there are no stupid questions but I think that is an exception.

*not anyone here, fortunately.
