There will be mine hopefully done for SSO

 

your mad Your daily power is my target figure (time will tell how long this lasts) are you still pleased with going the 2.35 route, i planned on going for a 2.5 to keep costs down a little but in the end decided to go with the 2.35.

 

You do realise there is a fortune more to spend than just the engine and personally I would not pay out for that engine.

 

Stevebt - So its going to Paul...good stuff! You best make it quick then as sso is round the corner....and hands off my Sunoco barrells at Zen And don't forget the ntk lambda sensor!


F1 CJE - lol!.....Paul likes the 1.5.....but I just cannot handle it on the roads.....my pockets that is! Now if I gave my car to Stevebt...he would probably rip the cal switch **** off!!

Re am I happy with the 2.35??....yes indeed. I wanted something tried and tested - it just keeps pulling and pulling....Personally and at this stage it's right for me.

 

Jag, Paul has been mapping for a bit now and well happy One thing I won't be having is a low boost map

 

You got a 2.3 now then Steve?

 

Yes, its one of the reasons the car has took as long

 

Best of luck with it.

 

There's going to be a handful of new age big builds on the scene when Steve's and Frayz's are finished!

 

Jag has asked me to post a video I took of him from inside my own car on Saturday, not sure if Scoobynet allows embedded youtube videos, but here's a try!

YouTube - JP4's WR1 flying by at the end

 

Nope doesn't want to work, so urm.. just click the link please

 

I'm going for a CDB 2.1, as I can't afford to pump too much money in to it to be honest, and aim for 500 with Dave's 321V which I should be getting. Chy has my CDB block at the moment and is cleaning it up for me....he did mention a 2.2, but I haven't spoke to him yet, it was via Dave when he dropped the block off for me. I presume it will be a 2.5 crank, and slightly bored out.

How does it switch injectors?

See you at SSO

 

I thought so, but when a 2.1 was mentioned, he suggested a 2.2 over a 2.1 as if they were different?!

 

Maybe that's what he mean't then! I think he probably will have mean't that to be honest, as he actually said 2.2 over 2.1.

 

Nice write up Jag. Very impressive video's with some impressive times (for a shandy drinker ).

Looking forward to seeing it at Elvington.

 

wow just read this on here and also again on 22b and must say that the car and build are just perfection very impresive as a road going car and one of the best built imprezas that i have seen in awhile, and think that everyone involved in it has done a superb job

i bet your over the moon fella

 

Dicko - Speak to Chy and ask him exactly what he thinks is best and reasons behind it. I asked a lot of questions before, during and after. Find out if there is any reboring required (doubt it) etc....Ask for the advantages and limitations so you know for the future.

Dave G - I shall deal with you at SSO for that last "bit" pmsl ...cheers pal!

Lee - Thanks for the kind words. You may remember a couple of our PM exchanges last year...been a long time coming indeed. I am over the moon and back and over again! Its one thing making big power but achieving a good quarter at the Pod with me as a driver is even more satisfying!


Credit and big shout to Paul, my mapper @ Zen Performance for putting the time and efforts in kick-starting of 2 projects thread both on here and 22b.com . I personally was reluctant to post on a Pre Build Project Thread as I wanted to acomplish both the build, power and testing before presenting it out as we are doing now.

 

Congratulations, an excellent well deserved result

This is where I try to act like a lil sheep up to the start line.....







This one Paul enjoyed (listen to his voice) as I had a passenger and still ran 11.0...I enjoyed this one!!:

 

love it, looks bloody fast

 

Thanks Omar - much appreciated! Its been a very tough 17 months. Hopefully those who jumped to the gun on the build or said negative crap will zip their mouths going forth! How's your's coming along??



And so will your's and Steve Bt's 2.35s when they are finished! It will be worth the wait!

 

s'alright if you like that shade of blue I guess

 

Yup....as long as it does 10s fine be me ....Hope all is well with you Ian

Almost ready now, just need to sort out the fuel system and intercooler pipe fabrication, before I book a date for paul to come and set up the solaris..I've got around 80 pics of the whole build step by step, I'll get the project thread updated during the week

 

Just watched 1 of the videos

Fair play, that shifts

I can't wait to see any of you guys in the projects section go up the strip in your machines (in person of course)

Another proper sleeper mission accomplished. Congrats!

 

Gd man Omar - looking forward to seeing the pics mate and the end results both on rollers and quarter mile.

Did you get your fabrication on the i/c sorted in the end? I've been speaking to a local fabricator on my i/c from throttle bod to fmic, and we've come up with an idea which he has already started on today.

We're positive it will work and be a bit different - a lil like my build! As I've found on mine, if the welding has been polished down, hairline cracks will start forming as you up the boosty! Will post up pics of the completed pipe in next couple of days.


Jag

 

Thanks Phil.

Only watched 1 vid?? You must watch all mate....the "ending" is a curtain raiser with some good "commentary" from a well known individual!!

It began as a sleeper......it remains as a sleeper! Think I am probably the one crazy dude to retain air con in a 600+!!!....But I personally think its great!

Hopefully my build and having achieved 10s at Santa Pod will give other new age owners confident that it is possible to have a nice road car which can be brutal on the drag strip.


Jag

 

Quality Jag,the times would be far better if i was behind the wheel

 

Just finished watching the rest now

Even more special I think doing it with a WR1 though

I remember reading about a heavily modified WR1 built for a owner in Malta never actually saw it in Malta though because I've been there since that feature.

But I did see a white Classic Type R in a museum. It was built for hillclimbs and track work I think.

 

Quite a car so I'm sure that won't be an issue

Yeah all good, you never know I might even post an update
