Nice one Simon, hopefully see you running it at some events this year. Have your thought turned to graphics on the car yet or are you going to keep it simple?

Really great work and the car looks fantastic!!!!

I wondering,the new H6 with 3.6 lit engine fit into a classic chassis? It have the same dimensions with this one engine you already use in this project?

Something else....as i see,you use an OEM 6 speed transmmition with DCCD,this one can manage 900-1000 ps for sure? I think it can't manage more than 700 ps...

Thanks

The gearbox, driveshafts etc are all on borrowed time and on the list of things to address at some point but its not a cheap move.

The eg33 engine is same piston and rod and crank dimensions as an ej22 which we know and love so its extra two cylinders and cam gears and the normally aspirated setup are the learning curve areas.

I was thinking if someone can use the forged 2.5 lit pistons in a H6 3.6 lit engine ( 6x 625 cc = 3750)....that mean the darton sleeves are nessessary for this engine but the extra cc gives more torque and power than the 3 lit engine but i dunno if that engine is bigger than the ej33 and if it fit in a classic chassis...

About gearbox,what about the 4 speed drag gearbox? I think it can manage 1000 ps but i think its not for daily use...

its not a drag car therefore auto wouldnt suit.

the engine I have used I have used for many reasons and the other H6 has its own issues.

Unexpectedly got the afternoon with the car, few silly little jobs sorted, reg plate, and some less silly jobs - oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temp sensors all plumbed and wired to ecu.
Alternator wiring finished off.

Various other bits done, nice to spend time pottering and not trying to achieve a particular goal.

So today I was suppose to map one car early morning and then meet CJ to work on the car... well as with most things when it comes to cars it didnt go to plan and I arrived at the car to meet CJ at 6pm, some 7hours late.. oops.....

To find that CJ had fitted linkage, prop, changed gearbox oil and made the exhausts!! just need tail pipes adding to finish off, and he had dropped the car to the floor.. many many thanks mate.

It looks so so different now its sitting on the floor and so I had to drive 2cars lengths just to check it could under its own steam lol.

It is difficult to judge being inside with a concrete floor but it seems very loud and now with a stainless exhaust wrasp to it.. me like lol but need more silencers I suspect.

Thanks also to Justin who also came up but no idea what he did (sorry) as he left before I even arrived lol.

So we then fitted the door windows and front bumper, lights and had a mass tidy up.. some pics
