Replied to your PM Brent

 

nice work ian - any idea when it may be done?

 

Cheers Jon

Well I'm going to be putting a long engine in within the next week or two...but it's going to be the old one! I'm going to use it to start mocking up everything I need to change to run a reversed IM.

So back to your question; March I reckon

 

March....., you beat me, I might make march next year with my car.

 

lol, I doubt you will make March 2011 if you keep cutting bits of your fingers off

 

I am practicing with my feet as we speak.

 

 

One of my best mates does this, but the more race orient version.
Do you also do this in competion?

 

update please mate!

 

Just for fun, think I'd run out of puff pretty quick these days; one run and I need a sit down :5

 

Alright Brent

Been nibbling for the last few weeks while I decide whether to rotate my IM...I think I've decided now !

I have started to remove the front sub frame, Zak is going to weld the origional wishbone mounting points up and then drill some new ones higher up. (Hat will improve the roll centre and should keep the car flatter through the turns. I just wish I'd taken it off before I refitted thge steering rack

 

Nice mate. are you reversing or not, the hassle is not worth it imo, while you are modding, might as well do it while its off the road!, trick to say the least!

 

I think i'm going to...I quite like the idea of making up the brackets and tensioner. Probably makes me a glutton for punishment though

 

Reverse!!!!!
Do it!!!!!!!!!

 

lol I think its a done deal, what I'm struggling with is whether to flip my front mount core to reduce the pipe work further...that looks like a troublesome job

 

Just do how I'm doing it!

 

Good luck then mate!

 

Aram, it's maily cost thats putting me off the custom core route

I hope to have a decent bit of kit by the end of the day that I plan to use for reversing the IM

Cheers Brent

 

What FMIC you got now then?

 

I have a standard HKS fmic at present, I was planning on buying a Hybred core and making up my own pipework, but then this came along, am waiting for some additional pics before I buy it though;

Just get a mitsi evo one. The inlets are at the top along with the mounting points

 

thanks Matt, which evo version and any idea what sort of power they become restrictive at...oh I'll be taking my parallel hose off tonight so let me know when you want to pop round and pick up the spoiler and hoses

 

I'll have a little look for you Seen them on scoobs before.

Cool. Just give me a shout and I'll pop round. My scoob project will be picking up pace soon

 

You can buy a core like that and put it in upside down perhaps, opening up.
Then you only have to fabricate the piping, that could reduce cost.

 

Well I've gone and brought the monster HKS thing so wil drop the bumper and remove the old core and see what I can see...ideally I'll run it upside down and as you can see from the pics the end caps do point upwards which should help. I'll not beat myself up if it looks like to much of a pita though.





Fitted, interesting run for the TB side...



Finished refurbished bits, they look pretty good.


This one's for you Matt; my old parallel set up, let me know when you want to pop round

 

OOOh that i/c pipe work looks good for a gt 30, fancy swapping the hot side with mine cos i need to re do the i/c pipework for the gt to fit!

 

Trails, posted the same pic twice fella Snowed at work at the moment but should be free one night soon I'm getting a growing selection of parts to fit

 

I'll be keeping it for when I get mine

Will probably run a hybrid of the two HKS systems before I got twisted, that way I shouldn't have to have a pipe fabricated that is only temporary

 

Corrected

You will have to start your own project thread

 

That FMIC looks sexy!
