Well done mate. Nice to see it still moving forward. I appreciate how much all this crap cost lol.

Im thinking crinkle black for the cam covers too Daz. Dill all my old cossie YB motor in it. Looks so nice. Shame it looks naff with the flash on the camera lol.

Debating on converting my cam cover breathers to -AN fittings before painting them first?

 

looking good daz ... How do you do the crackle or can you buy it in a can lol

 

It comes in a can if you look on the p2 thread there's a link on there. I've replied using my iPhone otherwise I'd have pasted the link. It a VHF wrinkle paint and comes in a spray can.
Frayz , it would look nice but expensive considering they are just breathers.

Daz,

If your now near to dropping the engine in what other bits do you now need to get it running, seems your very close pal ?

Clive

 

Exellent news Daz....looking forward to see you getting your car back soon.

 

Frayz,

Have you seen this mod done on my thread?
I'm sure there are pics somewhere.

 

Need to get all the manifold wrapped, need a right side exhaust pulley, map sensor, wideband sensor, inlet temp sensor oh and a Syvecs

 

Very, very close then, I know the Syvecs is a bit of an outlay but other than that.

Well done mate, cracking work !

Clive

 

Good work with the project.

 

Excellent stuff Daz....nearly there...

Have you already bought the clutch? if so what did you buy?

 

Im not looking forward to forking out for Syvecs either Daz... its a last big outlay for me too.

 

Frayz best money I spent has been the Syvecs

Banny

 

I know Banny, thats what everyone i have spoken to has said. I know its worth the money. just not looking forward to having to buy it. lol.

 

Getting close now.

 

I've had some DEI Titanium heat wrap turn up today so I managed to get the manifold done.


Compared to ceramic coating it looks tatty as hell but it's wrapped evenly, I've wirelocked every 5 cm or so and its had a couple of coats of DEI high temp wrap sealing spray so it's as good as it can be with wrap.

 

Looking good Daz, i think im going to wrap my up/downpipes when theyre done. My manifold is ceramic coated but i cant afford to do the other stuff at the moment so wrap will have to do.

If youve wire locked it, it should be fine.

 

Looks good.

Out of interest, what wire did you use? Any special tools or just a set of pliars?

 

Just some proper lock wire, some pliers and some side snips. Wire cost me £3 from ebay

 

Hi Daz,

Great stuff, looking forward to some excellent finished results.
Just one question, are you sure that wrap is titanium? I thought the dei titanium wrap was more brown / copper ? I think Harvey prefers the non titanium wrap anyway .

Great thread & keep up the good work.

 

Daz

What power are you expecting from your set up?

And more importantly where are you wanting to see your turbo spool up...ie 1 bar @ ***rpm

We are indeed looking for the fastest spool up from a big turbo asap.And hope everything works out well for us both as currently only you and i are going the same route

I should see a result from my build soon

 

It's definately the titanium stuff. This is all I have left from 50ft of the stuff. This is the colour before it got sprayed with DEI sealer.



Peter, I'm expecting mid to high 500's with the current setup as I have the standard cams in which I think will significantly restrict things. Once I replace the cams with Cosworth S2 cams and the 0.63 exhaust housing for a 0.82 one then I'd like to break the 600 barrier possibly 650 on race fuel but I just want to get the bugger built and running right before I set real targets.

Spool up wise as long as it's comparable with my old GT30R I'll be happy.

 

Daz was the wrap sprayed when you took the pics?

 

Yes, as above the colour of it wrapped around the manifold is after I sprayed it.

The piece lying on the manifold is what it looked like before it was sprayed.

 

Cant wait to see this going Daz... love the front mounted setups

 

Are you tempted Frayz?

 

Daz,

I think you'll be looking at near 600 and with spool up better than a rotated GT30.
Which would mean 1 bar at low 3k and full boost before 4k.

It will be awesome for road use.

Also is you current heads ported?
Supertec valves in there?

 

No porting yet Peter but I do have supertec valves, double valve springs, titanium retainers and solid 1 piece lifters.

Hopefully spool will be good too

 

Now thats the spirit mate

Spool will be un-real

 

Be great to see this car hit the road....
