What about flywheel choice, any news from alan.

John

 

Alan has recommend an oem flywheel but have left that up to them! Ordered the clutch last week, FedEx picked it up Friday and it was delivered yesterday how's that for service? Well impressed!

 

UPDATE

Just got an email off Alan J down at Engine Tuner, the block is assembled ready for fitting with the ancilleries etc, Martyn is back next week so he will put a base map on ready for running in!! Was hoping to get it back for the meet next week but should have it back for PCAD2 Here's a couple of shots of the engine




Can't wait now!!!

 

**** me that turbo looks a fair size Looking forward to seeing this now

 

 

She is looking sweet.

 

looking good m8 not long to go now

 

Mint Merv as earlier strange their using the oem flywheel

 

That turbo is massive, have you had your downpipe altered to suit the turbo?

Also if you need someone to put the 1,000 miles on it I am offering my services.

 

Yes mate, it's a new downpipe that is specific for this turbo! It does look larger than the 20g
You're welcome to run it in if you pay the fuel too

 

Ruddy hell Merv!

 

what bhp do you think it should make when run in and mapped merv ??

 

That looks good merv

 

From what I have read I'm going to throw a figure of 450-500 in on that Lee.... be interested to see what Merv say's now as well

 

Absolute quality Merv!!

 

Cheers guys wont be long now! One of their test cars has seen 505bhp on V Power so will be good to see how much it produces with the Closed Deck block and AVCS gonna be running a 10% E85 mix too! I think unveiling will be at PCAD on Saturday!

 

Nice one merv I have been following this since the begining as Im planning on having a similar set up from alan next year.
This looks a fantastic setup keep me updated on it and cant wait to see you at a meet Im gonna talk your ears off about it lol

 

505bhp ! hold on tight there Merv and get some sick bags in the door compartments for you passengers

 

No worries Si, they'll be fitted as standard think i'm gonna need some stickier rubber

Nudge, you're more than welcome to talk away What setup are you going for?

 

Was thinking 2.1 stroker with vf34 turbo and larger top mount alan thinks it will be a good daily driver sensible but also has the option for more bhp later on with bigger turbo and supporting mods.

Jury is still out as it all boils down to cash, But thats in the future your set up looks amazing and with power figures to match should be an amazing car to drive!

 

Awesome Merv.. Shotgun !

 

Sounds like a good daily driver, I was going to run it with my 20g but thought, 'f**k it' If I'm gonna do it I may as well do it properly the first time

 

No worries Ryan, I'll be selling tickets soon

 

Bugger bugger bugger!!! Not gonna be ready this week now Alan rang me yesterday to say they're having problems with mounting points for the starter motor etc because of the closed deck block!! Also the pipework for the FMIC has to go a slightly different way!! The custom downpipe went on like a dream so middle of next week is the new completion date!! Glad he's not gonna rush it TBH but still gutted about PCAD!!

It'll be worth it in the end but with all this rain I don't think I'll be driving in a strasight line for a while

 

Just think of the money you are saving, 12 to 15 mpg at 3000 RPM is going to take some getting used to, and as for the ring, start saving now.

Sure it will sound sweet though, at least you will have it for rally day.

John

 

I've been saving the fuel for ten weeks Should be fun using all that fuel tho John

Might have a 100bhp map put on for long journeys Rally Day is just around the corner too

 

Here's a teaser

 

Thats a bit stealthy Merv How much of the 1000 has gone?

 

I bet ur happy to get it back aint u merv
if u need a speed freak to check the car is running fast enough he will be out in three weeks so i can lend you him wont be able to talk but can sit there and cry if the car is to quiet or to slow like abi did in johns

 

He's putting 50 of the miles on himself mate, be picking her up either tomorrow or Saturday morning now!! It's 300 miles there and back to Plymouth and I'm off on a 400 miles trip Sunday so they'll fly on

I'll keep John in mind Char
