Proto #2 is ready to test fit. Numerous changes to this one but the finished article should look a lot more like this. This is only a rough one. The final will be much neater.
Please excuse the phone pic, I've uploaded this direct as I'm excited to show you all some development.

 

can see that will fit much better already

 

Okay guys, heres some snaps of proto #2 with a trail instalation. The fit this time is much much better.
Its now ready to have the air feed put in and then test fit once more.
Once the air feed is in and im happy we can go ahead and get a final one made up, cut tidy and actually installed.
Its amazing how much more room this provides for the air filter in the engine bay.

 

Will the air filter be enclosed?

Quality work there, some VERY nice touches!!

 

No mate, the air filter will be open. But will protrude into the wing pocket. The wing pocket will be fed directly from the front end via 83mm ducting. There willbe a huge volume of cool air forced into the vacinity of the air filter.

I do have some other ideas based on WRC designs but this is how it will be for now at least.

 

Spot on looks OE.

 

Page 53' FTW !

Looks really good Frayz Bit more elbow room

Is there any mileage in lipping the rear of the insert slightly to delay/disrupt the air longer in the vicinity of the filter ?

 

Good idea Stu but the insert is already shaped inside to force the air to swirl up and then out towards the filter. At the rate that air is consumed in that area i think its going to work really really nice.
The air has nowhere to go except towards the filter body.

Get your *** over here and look

 

Will do mate, you about tomorrow ?

 

Nope :P

Tonight or Monday week,

 

Give you a text Monday week mate

 

Sweet mate, drop by then.

Wouldnt mind a look at your classic to see if i can get one of these to fit?

If so then i might sell a few.

 

Where there's a wing there's a way

Mine is a bit precise atm

 

Lol, okay mate

 

Sorry about the cak fone pic, but tonight i cut the hole for the turbo boost pipe. Im still going to modify the pipe bends so it fits a little cleaner but so far so good. This should keep the boost hose under the air filter and out of sight. Leaving the wingsert to do its job of just feeding in cold air to the filter without disruption or clutter from the boost pipework.

 

Tart

 

you got that polishing shizzle down Si

 

Crikey! P-diddly would be proud!

I'm liking the wing mount Frayz. Another lovely touch...

 

Is it running yet ?

:P

 

These things take time you know!

Mmmmm nice shiny bits, sure that adds almost as much power as graphics!

 

Jealousy will get you lot nowhere

 

Not much to update at the mo guys as im waiting on a couple of parts before i can progress. Nothing major, just some fittings and hoses etc.

Also should have proto 3 of the wingsert made this week. This one should be almost bang on the final design providing there are no fitment issues. Its much easier for me to mess about getting it right before the motor gets dropped back in. Then believe it or not we can look to get the motor dropped back in. Im getting quite excited now its all looming closer.

Also huge thanks to Mark (RB5 286) for taking the logo i designed and will be making me some small decals which should look like this

 

Well done Frayz, glad it's all coming together and your getting excited, the work you have put into it is awesome and will be great to see the car moving under it's own steam again

PS, loving the logo!

 

Cheers Ross, i honestly dont think the pics really do it any favours. I think the motor looks epic on the stand as is...

Might build another just to look at

 

Be sure to dish some stickers out, nothing like a bit of free advertising!

 

Lol, dont you start, ive already got Boyd and Stu on the other thread badgering me for em. Haha

 

 

 

Lol, go get the parts and we'll build it Ross.

2.35 Spec C?

 

Oh Frayz, you're my hero!

Please please please can I have a sticker?
