Still on oe engine at the moment

 

A plan has been hatched.

New engine is being built as I type.

Going to be a busy week lol
Remove current engine which is still fine and put to one side, fit new engine, turbo etc, run in, map and race at scoobyshootout

dunx

 

Will be in this car, not planning to pull current engine until monday

 

Thanks for your help ( Again ! ) Simon,

but please don't tell anyone... better off not messing with methanol for now me thinks

I think it would be safe to say that Matt is well chuffed with the way his goes now

Nice to chat to you again, and good luck in Sheffield !

dunx

 

your secret is as safe as your vacum pipes are tight

See you soon, glad matt is happy with the car

Simon

 

Bombaclart! You should have pushed it to 600 & see what happens.

Good luck with the new build.

imho for road use anything more than 500bhp size turbo is going to be too laggy on a 2litre.

Had a spare hour tonight before it got dark so started swirl pot and bosch 044 install.

Simon

 

 

Left back seat out to aid load space.



Setting off to drive mike latimers to collect the engine (hope it fits in the boot).

Simon

Note to self - an old van and a trailer would be handy.

 

What's going in Simon? Built 2.35 on a rotated GT35R is my guess??

 

Ha that will be a awesome daily driver.

Good luck Simon

 

p.s does that magic tree still smell lol lol

 

back seats looks a bit tidy for you simon???

 

Many thanks to Mike for doing the build, letting me use his parts washer tonight so I could clean the sump and various other bits and letting me use the spare room tonight



Simon

 

I've heard of Turbo blankets but thats taking the ****!! ^^^^^^^^

 

Turbo must be a GT70R, needs it own suspension, lol
