It been a long time coming and collecting parts now my garage is full so I thought I would start the process of building what I always wanted a type R race/show car I have a feeling it might take some time as I don't have the skills that some on here have.
So this is some pice of the progress on day 1
This was it on its journey home.



This is it after the first day found some surprises but not to bad




I borrowed these from the project and put them on my 4 door track car should stop a bit better



Looking forward to Saturday for more progress

 

Number 2, wow brave! I'm on number 1 and it's taking a lot of time, it doesn't help when i want it done quickly too.

What was your first, a track car?

Thanks

 

Well I was going to sell my first car but I if I did I would rush this one so I though I'd keep it so I have a track car while I'm building this one then there's no rush and hopefully get it right fist time unlike the fist car I changed my mine and done things wrong

 

Pics now showing

 

Race and showe car combined, hows that going to work lol!

Thanks

 

Not to sure myself realy just going to make it super clean inside and out

 

What engine did you settle on in the end

 

At the moment I have a 20L CDB
Closed deck block
Rear Thrust conversion
Spec C Black Nitrated Crankshaft
Cosworth pistons
Eagle H beam rods
Eagle rod bolts
ACL race bearings
Built by engine tuner

Heavily ported V4 built heads, 276 cams £700
Upgrading to AVCS heads hence these are up for sale, heavily ported V4 sti heads, JUN retainers and titanium retainers, 3 angle valve seats, Piper 276 cams, piper oversize shims
All bing but together now also 6speed box will soon be picked up not sur of turbo yet but gt30 or gt35 I'm sure I can get some advice on here as to what's best.

Although I might put this engine in my 4 door track car for the time being as I have a 2.2CDB so there might be a 2.35 on the cards

 

Good stuff mate, look forward to the test runs up the A10

 

Looks good,spec wise is OK,but still I wouldn't use Eagle H-Beam rods with GT30/GT35
Have look on the 22b on thread about the Eagle rods and too on some US forums

2.35L is way to go which we are going for sure with Kelford V2-199-C


Jura

 

Hi Jura the rods came with the engine ! I also thinking of using this engine in the 4 door if I do I might use a md or an s202 and go for less HP around 500-550.Neil has a 2.2 block of mine at his garage it's all depends on cash flow at the moment I still have a lot to do before I even think of putting in the engine

 

Hi there

If they come with the engine is different story,MD,SC or S202 will be good choice for 2.1,we are run MDX321T which has been great turbo on the 2.1 with AVCS.

2.35L in the 2 door classic will be awesome,must admit we are thinking about this too

You will see how you get on and good luck with project there,will worth in the in both cases.500bhp in classic will be awesome to drive like on track or road


Jura

 

Update from the weekend spent Saturday taking gearbox out of project 1 as sold it why is everything so difficult when you don't have ramps so didn't get anything done on project 2 then Sunday rain stopped play at this rate I'll have it done for my retiment HA HA

 

Work has kept me busy so no updates for a month but today I went up NORF and picked up a fantastic JDM 6 speed DCCD it has everything From the front Hubert to the back hub extremely clean brought from the same guy I got my t45 cc thanks pics to follow

 

Had a couple of hours spare tonight so done some more on the car in the garage but wish I hadn't because of this



Was only trying to get the shafts out how the hell am I going to do this if simple things like this happen

Refinished the front hub well cleaned it and painted it I am going to replace all bearings and studs next when I decide what are the best bearing to buy for racing any idears guys





I also done this i need to leave thing alone



And a pic of my 6 speed DCCD looks a good one

 

Nice build thread . Subscribed!

 

Quick up date just been collecting bit here's some pic of some new goodies

Been painting this do you no what it is ?









Yes it's a rotisserie can't wait to get it on the shell.

And theseGT30 and H&S twisted kit with 48mm external wast gate







And I wrapped these RCM headers




And last the best bit a Dash2 race dash

 

Oh yes and these

 

Just small update sorry for this being slow but work and the cold has slowed it down a bit but at last I have the heads on now and placed the header on to

 

Looking good John
Thanks again for the a-pillar,landed safe and sound mate

 

Thanks Ryan and it was no trouble when that car of yours is finished I can say my a pillar trims in that epic car lol

 

Cheers mate.........if it ever gets finished yes lol

 

I no how you feel but you are going all out with your build and it does seem to be moving on quite fast and that your trade just don't put a time on it just enjoy doing it I would love mine finished but I'm not going to rush it and it will get.done eventually

 

Looking good John,just be sure you will be running Syvecs or any other ECU which have CANbus,if you are need files for Dash2,I've our one custom CAN files like for Syvecs and for Dash2

Without the CANbus can be pain wire every sensor to Dash etc. and I would speak with Neil@Slowboy racing about the best way to do so

Jura

 

Thanks Jura I have heard that so I'm going to sell my Alcatec and apexi ecu's and get a syvecs to run it all

 

Hi John

Really as I said,you will need ECU which support CANbus get best from Dash2,without the CANbus you will need wire every sensor such as if you are want oil temp,oil pressure,boost etc.

With CANbus is easy,because you can stream all those packets of data from Syvecs or any other ECU which support CANus and which is supported by RT Dash2 without the problems

Although you will need wire lights,battery etc to Dash2 which will be much easier than wire every one sensor,plus you will need wire the fuel gauge,speed sensor(although from ECU you will receive data of the speed,but yours trip,mileage will not work,because Dash2 using for this their own or any other cheaper Hall Effect speed sensor)




Jura

 

A quick up date a change of direction I'm shelving the Type R and going to build up the 4 door with this engine and 6 speed so there's some bits that will be up for sale soon

 

Quick update had a couple of hours in the garage to do this

This is what it looked like before





Then I stripped it and now it looks like this





I removed the lugs from underneath don't no why but I think it looks cleaner

 

I did say this would be slow but some nice new bit turned up today

Very nice

 

Nicewhat turbo?SJ.
