Triumph TR6 125-150hp conversion Part 1 - Engine removal and strip down

[@davidandyr]

Thanks for the great videos. I am thinking of buying a TR6 as a retirement project car and as part of doing "due diligence" before I fork out all that money (and to help me to make a good choice of vehicle) I have been looking for all the issues and challenges I might encounter with a TR6 to make sure there is nothing I wouldnt want to have to deal with and to help me with what to watch out for. A very helpful video series (and nothing yet that has put me off). If anything, the more I am learning about the TR6 the more I am thinking it is the right car for me. Thankyou.

As usual a fantastic series of videos. Thank you for sharing. I too have… Replaced the cam (fastcam88) Bore out the cylinders Was fortunate to have Mr. Malcolm Jones of Prestige before retiring to build me a complete set of metering unit, throttle bodies, linkages, and injectors. My car here in California does run rich and I didn’t know how to adjust the mixture. A few days ago I saw a gentleman on KZbin (pink TR6) adjusting the mixture by turning the nuts on top of the metering unit counter clockwise to adjust the mixture, have no idea which way to lean and which way to rich, how much to turn it. Do you know how to adjust the mixture? Should a I even attempt it? Much thanks. Sam

is it worth considering upgrading the PI system to modern fully electronic engine management using systems such as Megasquirt or Omex as this will give much greater adjustability and reliability as well as getting rid of the notorious Lucas system. Authenticity does not seem to be a primary goal as you are changing the cam for an aftermarket one and lightening the flywheel and recalibrating the Lucas mechanical system will be a fraught mission. Just changing the timing chain and sprockets will pep up the power on its own. I have never seen a duplex chain stretch so much as here! Possibly poor previous maintenance?

EFI would be nice and is the ultimate solution for the TR6. Might go there in the future. Thanks for watching

Hi and many thanks. Is it possible to install a UK sorced 150hp fuel injected engine into a US TR6? If yes, what mods would be necessairy? Kind greetings, Andreas

[@mgmidget-thebirthofaraceca4349]

Yes it is. It’s a straight fit. Just remember you need all the supporting fuel system and tank . The power actually comes from the head, cam and compression so you could achieve the power on a carbs setup
