Looking superb

 

Engine bay is awsome Steven! well done on the time and effort spent!
well done to David & Pat too

nice job all over and cant wait to see it in the flesh

Steve

 

Only a few more bits and pieces to do, should be some nice action from the screamer pipe , KL looks like it was factory fitted

 

Just as you get close to finishing your's I start taking mine apart again

Like the bonnet scoop...where from, how much, and is it available in plain grp?

 

That is looking really good......what radiator is that you have on there?

Joe.....

 

be the lp one.

looking good steven.

 

Looking very nice.. that downpipe and screamer pipe looks very low!

 

Like has been said previously.....the engine bay is superb Steven....superb!

AND....no doubt the car is going to be a reasonable performer too. LOL

Good job it's forced induction, those plenum tracts don't seem to be equal in length!

I think there's a bloke somewhere looking for his air filter..............off his Volvo F12 wagon!! Do you think it's big enough?

 

Killa,
They are the DCCD lights, the KL is in the gauge pod

Marty,
The airfilter is much smaller than mine, which incidently steven gave to me
And as for the inlet, I personally would have modified a phase1 manifold for the car, but the manifold was done before steven had decided what he was doing enginewise

He's like a woman, changes his mind too much...

Right best get in the car and go sabbotage (sp) stevens attempts at SSO.

David

 

Andy, cheers for the warning.

Intercooler and radiator is the Lateral setup.

Simon, the exhaust and screamer appear low, because the car was jacked up about 2 foot off the ground at the rear.

 

I see

 

David is over at my house now, going through the list of things to do.

Install Shaft nuts on the rear shafts

what 1/4 times are you expecting?

Joe.....

 

It should do 10's, but thats a should. If it gets into the 10's i will be happy, if it doesnt, something is up.

 

the rate at which David is working on it.. probably 6:15pm..

Simon

 

One more question what gearbox are you running? (ppg?)

 

No problem

Gearbox is a PPG 5 speed, with modena front diff and subaru DCCD centre diff, together with a Quaife rear diff.

 

Just read your bit at the start of the thread...lol....the ej257 had to go!!!! ive just rebuilt mine with wiseco pistons and crower rods etc etc (what have i done..lol)......got 12.405 at santa pod at the weekend with standard clutch & g/b running 355/355.....was in 5th gear at the finish so im hoping the ppg kit will help my times......

See you at sso...cant wait to see your car run


p.s. sorry for hi-jacking thread (ref my car)

 

No problems Joe. The ej257 is a good engine, i just wanted to go the 2.33 route, as the closed decking gave me more comfort.

FYI my uprated EJ257 with 2 hours of mapping managed an 11.8 at TOTB last year on a 5 speed PPG box.

 

What turbo was that with Steven?

Project looks to be coming on well. I look forward to seeing it run

 

A big garrett running lowish boost.

 

how easy was the battery relocation? just a case of lengthing the wiring?


blue samco doesn't look too bad, matches the blue on the fuel lines.

 

Are you using an R180 rear Steven?

 

Kev, fairly easy, just used a new wire from the boot.

Alan, its an R160 with a Quaife. If it breaks, i will be fecking cross, and going to an R180.

It should be good enough though, as it took the abuse on my old setup, and is the same as the Lateral car.

 

That's good to hear. I've been wondering recently if i should be looking athis area.

 

If it go,s as well as it looks it will be good,

 

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!











Run it for a few minutes and it sounds well.

MASSIVE thanks to David for his individual effort today.

Will post video phone stuff tomorrow.

Steven
(Big smile on face)

 

Thats brilliant news steven ......cant wait to see her run now...will you be mapping it your self? on what management?


Joe.....

 

Pat will be mapping it, using the Motec M800.

 

SUPERB!
