Massive thanks to the team of helpers Ian, Mike and Cj.

Heads are now on the proper engine.

Wiring loom is now installed.

Getting there

Simon

 

No problem.
I am sure stew will sort it

 

What a fantastic read.

What a thread this is, can't wait to see the finished article.

When/where will you be taking it for it first public outing?
Would love to come along and see this beast at full throttle.

Dylan

 

Thanks Dylan

I had hoped to have it running with a few bits to finish off in the next couple of weeks but got a fair amount of work on at the moment and working on the car I have neglected a few jobs at home that I need to get sorted.
So I guess sometime in the new year it should be running.

I am hoping to take it to mlr 30-130mph event in March but not paid entry or committed to it fully. It would really be nice to get some time in the car beforehand.

Simon

 

Mock engine back out




Proper engine built


Many thanks to Mike and Cj for their help

Simon

 

What no diet coke you on the hard stuff now Simon

 

will be at mlr to see this if you do enter!

 

This build is nuts mate, just sat and read the whole thread and I'm majorly impressed, well done fella, can't wait to see this done and out and about!!!!!

P.s, if you want to see what a 22B bumper looks like on a lime green classic check out my thread, project ultimate green classic, in the members gallery.

 

decided as I am bouncing off the armco it would be worse with an expensive front bumper lol

thanks btw

Simon

 

Thanks to steve at smg for timing up the vernier pulleys etc last night.

Another step forward, just need to find time to bolt the thing all together now.

Simon

 

Busy weekend car wise - collected lots of parts for it.

Turbos, another set of track wheels and some new coilovers.



Simon

 

Nice

Still looking to have it started before xmas?

 

no wont be until after new year now as I have had a lot of work on and work take priority

 

Glad you said that as i've got 50 miles of run in left

Will be in contact when it's ready to go

Knew there was something I ommitted to do!

 

Didn't you see them at the weekend Clive......

 

I didn't go sneaking around everyone elses boots

Just for you


Simon

 

Little bit ticked off today.

Engine now in same place as the car, back broken lol

Rocker covers on, cambelt, injector bodies on.



All wrapped up again


Simon

 

Looking good mate

 

What has made you go with internally wastegated turbos out of curiousity?

No point asking what turbos they are as those lips are as tight as your shrink wrapping

 

Sc billet of some variety me thinks

 

Ummm, engine looking good now, I want one!!!

 

42 Billet x 2 should be awesome, but then I think I said that somewhere else too.

Martyn

 

Water cross pipe, alternator, turbo oil feed, ps pump on and manifold just fitted to aid hoisting in

Sump fitted


All these little bits take forever!

Simon

 

Looking good Si, you must be getting anxious by now

I see the 4 newage coil packs on the table. You in need of 2 more? Free to you of course

 

Thanks, I have 8 of them

Also fitted fuel rails and some lateral performance 1000cc injectors
