Good job its just for drag racing since your adding the 1.06 housing

 

Indeed Mr B but there is always NOS

 

So are you adding NOS?? I would in fact I made sure I asked Steven that my engine would be ok to run it

 

Not sure yet tbh, see how it goes first

 

Thats a nice tray for your battery, where abouts did you get it, my battery is being held in place by a couple of ties wraps, I'm looking for something a bit more solid now TBH.

 

Here mate - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aluminium-Allo...item4155996633

 

Cheers Clive, mucho appreciated

 

Clive I've sent a email to the bloke on Ebay who sells these but so far he has not replied to it, Although the sizes look similar I'm wondering if a Odyssey PC680 would actually fit into the battery tray, do you have any measurements(sp?) for this tray?

 

Here are the dimensions of the one I put in that fits fine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LIGHTWEIGHT-5-...#ht_2055wt_905

 

Yours
Length - approx. 181m
Width - approx. 77mm
Height - approx. 167mm
Weight - approx. 5.3Kg

Mine
Length - approx. 184.7
Width - approx. 79
Height - approx. 169.4
Weight - approx. 7KG

How tight of a fit is yours exactly? mine seems to be a few MM bigger in a few of it's dimensions

 

Yours will fit perfectly then as I have had to 'pad' mine very slightly

Clive

 

Thanks Clive, I'll away and order one now

 

Via the clinic?

I gave that to Paul B to give to you.

 

Neverneverman makes them to custom sizes.

 

Pat borrowed from Paul to do some testing of some sort so I understand. I will email you a photo Kev sent me.

 

DoHH!! I alreadyordered it

Wish I had known earlier as I like to deal with people I know and who know me.

 

Been doing a few jobs on the cars today, sorted out a few final jobs on the green wagon I now have to sell and removed my rotated set up from the drag car. I am replacing this with a RCM set up for the coming season. Looks like I already have a buyer for this, exhaust system is going with it with two back boxes (loud and quiet). Also weighed the system as I have got another one from John Stevenson to go with the RCM kit they weighs just 11.8kg, my old one was 15kg. A HKS one I am selling weighs over 18kg so just goes to show the differences

 

And here's the replacement RCM kit and GT Spec headers

 

Is this for your car or the white one?

 

Drag car chap

 

What have been running on this before? as there seems to be a few things your buying which I presumed were already on your car

 

I had a Hayward & Scott one which is going. The RCM one has a larger bore up pipe which will help with my power goal. Also allows changing the exhaust system for a lighter item

 

Hows the build going Clive? I'll be in touch as soon as the sump is done

 

Plan is engine will go back in on 31st. Will call Tim for update once sump is on it's way to him

 

looks like its going to flow and run much better once all the extras are on

 

Hopefully the little tweaks to the spec should help Steve.

 

Paul and I had a long day on the type R today, plan was to pop the oil cooler on that I had on the drag car previously and change the front mount to a flipped one I picked up.

Whilst Paul set about getting the bumper off I swapped the exhaust housing on the 35R for the 1.06 item. Few pics of the difference here compared to the 0.82








Then some pics of what we did with the type R, also added a water temp sender ready for a gauge at a later date.

Old Cooler



Paul in action



Oil cooler on



Cutting for new front mount pipes




New intercooler going on













So all was well until the test drive, no leaks etc but for some reason car is only boosting to actuator pressure circa 1.1 bar. Checked wiring to boost solenoid and all is well so no idea what I have done

 

Great work Clive, make sure you use my old housing properly

On the cooler front, just add some ducting (flat sheet on all 4 sides) between the IC and OC, it will work so much better.

 

Who is the red neck?

 

Cheers for the tip.

Sure your old housing will do the business
