You mean the Nakamichi CD player ?

Yes

 

Those Magnetic Spaghetti ECUs will make nice book ends in your study

 

Yes, final setup will be on their Dyno.

 

LOL.
Magneti Marelli.

Yes, the CD player is period correct. Well, actually the original is Alpine but I like this one better. Still a 90's model.

 

I prefer Magnetic Spaghetti

Would you like another bottle of Lambrusco ?

 

Question

Does anyone know if Lamborghini quoted engine power as gross or net in the early 1990's ?

Society of Automotive Engineers/SAE International[edit]

SAE gross power[edit]
Prior to the 1972 model year, American automakers rated and advertised their engines in brake horsepower (bhp), frequently referred to as SAE gross horsepower, because it was measured in accord with the protocols defined in SAE standards J245 and J1995. As with other brake horsepower test protocols, SAE gross hp was measured using a stock test engine, generally running with few belt-driven accessories and sometimes fitted with long tube test headers in lieu of the OEM exhaust manifolds. The atmospheric correction standards for barometric pressure, humidity and temperature for testing were relatively idealistic.

SAE net power[edit]
In the United States, the term bhp fell into disuse in 1971–72, as automakers began to quote power in terms of SAE net horsepower in accord with SAE standard J1349. Like SAE gross and other brake horsepower protocols, SAE Net hp is measured at the engine's crankshaft, and so does not account for transmission losses. However, the SAE net power testing protocol calls for standard production-type belt-driven accessories, air cleaner, emission controls, exhaust system, and other power-consuming accessories. This produces ratings in closer alignment with the power produced by the engine as it is actually configured and sold.

 

Net IIRC, but I will check.

 

awesome and sounds great.

Are you still looking for the electrical plan? if so I have it in the original owners manual.

Did you do the back seats yet?

 

Thanks taz55555,

I also have the owner's manual book with the diagram.
Well, actualy since we already rewire everything now we have to make a new diagram


The back seats will be made in 2 weeks after all the Electrical and interior has been perfected.

Thank You so much for Your help with the pics. I really appreciate that.

Cheers,
Taffy

 

Thanks Chad

 

Look forward to see the new back seats and what kind of material.
Have to redo mine.

Take care.

Taz

 

I'd recommend a marine naugahyde vinyl , tough and looks like leather when done properly

Naugahyde > Products

 

Or a motorbike seat material

 

Sorry, I thought the book I have would clear it up, but quoted it at 455 DIN with no other info that I can find.

 

Close enough to SAE Net ... installed HP


"DIN requires power to be measured with standard intake, exhaust, and accessory systems in place. DIN horsepower ratings, therefore, are comparable to the modern SAE net rating system, although they are usually reported in metric horsepower (sometimes referred to as Pferdestärke, the German word for horsepower, and abbreviated PS), rather than mechanical horsepower. One mechanical horsepower is about 745.7 watts, whereas one metric horsepower is about 735.5 watts; therefore, 1 PS equals 0.986 horsepower. Because of that and because DIN horsepower ratings are calculated with the engine in “as-installed” condition, they are always lower than gross ratings. (The peak engine speeds for DIN power and torque ratings are often lower, as well, reflecting the effects that mufflers, air cleaners, and accessories have on the engine’s power curve.)

Until the early 1970s, it was not uncommon for cars sold worldwide to have two power ratings, one DIN, one gross, largely as a concession to the salespeople. A Porsche 356 Super 90 engine, for example, was rated 90 hp DIN, but 102 hp SAE gross. Adding to the fun was the fact that, as we’ve previously discussed, SAE gross numbers sometimes bore very little relationship to actual output. This did NOT necessarily mean that the U.S. or British engines were more powerful than their European counterparts, simply that their ratings were figured differently.

So, before you write us to complain that we have maligned your favorite car by saying it had less power than advertised, please consider the source, and whether that source was quoting SAE gross, SAE net, or DIN figures.

Hi Taffy, I checked on Eurospares, and the show the green 4x4 light at Euro 7.80, not sure if they have stock.
Your trim is going back in, mine is all out, they must have used a few cow hides to trim those things, you can start to understand why they are so heavy, they certainly weren't concerned about weight, Colin Chapman would have gone mad!!!!

 

I used 500 sq feet of Nappa leather when I retrim my LM, plus $1400 labor fee (well, labor is $30 per day here, so Your labor cost can be much higher), quite costly

 

Thanks Nick, I will check on Eurospares.

 

Taffy:

Thank you for the Pictures of the fuel line and clamps.

Are there any other items to complete the fuel line replacement?

The back bench seats were made out of vinyl.

Any ideas for replacement?

Also, the screw bolts go through the seat bar right into the fiberglass body of the LM002.

Regards,
Taz

 

Hi Taz,

What I did on my fuel lines is pretty much already explained in the pics.
Just a simpe fuel SS-braided lines.

 

Taffy:

Thanks.

Will keep you updated.

Regards,

Taz

 

Your welcome Taz

 

Taffy:

Found original two (2) rear view original mirrors that move for the Lm002. Also have a wiring relay diagram for the mirrors that we installed in my LM002, so switch will not run hot all the time.

Regards,

Taz
