They CE28 copies by Rota then? Look very nice.

 

Yes Rota fighter, going to invest in some Advan RS's once the car is on the road then keep these for drag use

 

Its been a while since I lasted updated, but the project has now taken a major step foward the shell is undergone some major work, including a full wire tuck and engine bay re-spray, and the drivetrain has been fitted to the car - I ended up swapping my PPG setup with Clive's 6 speed setup from his track car (Mad HAmmer).

The long engine was completed last month...

The workbench with all the goodies...





Although the block came back from Lateral spotlessly clean after the rear thrust conversion and rebore, we thought it would be best to give things a quick clean just in case any grit or dirt was picked up in transit...







Once everything was clean to a standard assembly of the short was started, bearings, etc were lubricated using graphogen...













After speaking to several Tuners, including Wiseco themselves we decided to gap the rings to the following :

Top Ring = 0.0050" and "2nd Ring 0.0055"





The short Motor was then pretty much ready for the heads, so the Cosworth stud kit was installed alongside the headgaskets, the heads were tourqed down exactly to Cosworth's instructions...





The end Result.....

 

Good work bro keep it up. Any news on my head?

 

Off and ready

 

Off with his head

 

Top work by the way Keeo it up and more pics of the car.

 

You sure about those ring gaps, they look way too small!!

 

Sorry didn't mention, those figures are per inch of bore

 

That's better. Wondered if you meant that, but thought it better to ask, than let you run it with those ring gaps

 

When can i pick up?

 

looking good omar

 

No vernier pulleys to dial the cams in with?

 

Would have loved some nice rcm vernier pulleys but i can't squeeze them in to the budget, I will most probably upgrade them when I have car mapped for race fuel, the oe pulleys will have to do for now..

 

Omar how about the CDF vernier pulleys, they are pretty reasonable

 

Mine has run without verniers for the past two seasons, for your targets you don't need them.

 

Hi mate loving the work so far but would it be better to replace the plastic cam pules for the early metal pulleys just to be on the safe side ?

 

Ace work Omar!

 

this is the rubber dingy rapids brooo

well done for having the bulls ***** for doing the work yourself, woould love to do this to mine.

keep it up

 

It's more about minimising your losses though, and improving on the efficiency of the motor....

If you've gone to the expenses of buying cams, then it would be worth dialling them in too. If you can pick up a few hp and ftlb and put a bit more area under the dyno graphs, then I would see it as being a worthwhile exercise

Omar - you might want to measure where your centrelines are on stock pulleys, to see how far out they are. A before and after comparison on the dyno would be interesting to see

 

Anyone else using these on here? They do look tempting whats the quality like compared to the RCM pullies?

 

this is the future, nice work fella keep it up, any pics of car.

 

Good work mate

 

The cams I picked up dirt cheap from a mate who decided to use cosworth cams in his build, there is a rumour though that they originate from the original white RA that paul at zen had as his demo car, I have yet to confirm this with him though, Ill post up the spec sheet of the cams that piper gave to me when I had them inspected and measured up...

A direct comparison would be a good idea though, but for now I'll stick with the stock pulleys, but I'll definately have it mapped on both sets of pulleys on v-power for a direct comparison before I start messing about with methanol and race fuel

 

Thanks, saw some videos of your car, thats one hell of a car Chy has built you

 

Thanks, I'll upload them soon...

 

hows that diff?

 

I was thinking that the other day as I dont remember yours having the pulleys either, so I guess I shouldn't really have any issues apart from missing out on possibly a few horses

 

Hi Omar,

Nice build so far mate,

Our pulleys are used on 9 of the USA rally team cars. Simon (jgm) also has them on his car and Rich (FB tuning) has seen these first hand, I am sure they can vouch for the qualtiy. We are also currently making some pulleys for Andy forrest drag car.

We only use good grade hard anodized alloy for all our cam pulleys.


You said about maybe fitting some after, if you do this you will need to remove the engine to dial the cams correctly either that or you will have to use them in stock postions - this will still be better as those bakerlight ones are very weak.

You are more than welcome to come and view some to inspect them.


The ones with stainless centres retail at £550 or our titanium true lock ones will be £900 as we havent released them yet.

Drop me a pm and i'll do you a good deal


chris

 

very tempting you dont want to be thinking what if.... just get em omar youve come this far
