We were asked to help select and build a car for track use. We recommended a JDM Hawkeye as being a really good start, based on our brief.
The owner found one for sale (on SN of course!) and we were despatched to check it out. Everything looked fine, bearing in mind what we were going to do so the cash was wired over and I had a bumpy ride back to Plymouth from Surrey on the Tein coilovers!
We dynoed the car first, then removed and stripped the motor.
We've rebuilt it using an EJ22 stroker, Cosworth rods, Mahle pistons, Kelford cams, large valve heads, RCM 12mm oil pump, baffled sump, catch tank, twisted kit and billet GT35 turbo. Litchfield swirl pot and Bosch pump.
Syvecs came with it, so that's been set up by Martyn of course.
AP front brakes.

Track test was at Castle Combe, the first time the owner had seen the car, never mind driven it.

All went well, apart from a power steering fluid leak, caused by the one part we hadn't worked on (Rack). That was after three sessions totalling 38 laps, so no worries.





It looks and goes great!

This is from today's final mapping session, further settings being made after the test and data logging results.



Note the red traces, which show the results on arrival, using the stock twin scroll 2 litre set up. Not at all bad, but notice how we've gained everywhere on the blue lines with no loss of spool, certainly over 3000 rpm!

PS.. for sale, used 2 litre short block and twin scroll turbo/manifold. Etc.

 

Amazing! Well done Alan, I think the results speak for them selfs .

Joe

 

Nice result Alan. Nice engine spec bet that cost a few quid

 

Alan on what fuel vpower or meth

 

Tesco 99..

 

what kelfords then Alan,?

 

272's. They do seem to work well, we've been developing the head work a little more.

 

Thanks Alan, suspected as much.

 

Top job there Alan

Certainly is always a good base either a JDM hawk or a My05 spec C

Tony

 

Very nice. Would a classic not be lighter for a track car though?

 

Awesome work Alan, and Martyn of course

 

Yes, but he didn't want one!

 

**** me that's got a good power band Al,must really shift on track !!
Well done to Martyn's mapping as well

 

Very nice.

Remember seeing this when I dropped my car off. It was at the time 0bhp iirc?

Gotta love a white hawk! What words has the owner said about it?

 

"It's very fast"
