not much of a picture update but car delivered to freinds workshop yesterday for prep and body kit to be fitted

new roof pannel also being fitted to get rid of sunroof, i aint one for riveted plates lol

doesnt luck much yet but give it a lil while and youll soon se the progress

 

update....


lots of pic's to come in new year

engine plans have changed now though

I have built a 2L I4 RS2K block to go in on t/b's but now ill be only using that on one track day when built to run it then remove it and either sell it or keep it as spare

Ive purchsed jasons 2.3 I4 Low comp block for turbo that ran 300BHP in his 4x4, ill be usng that in my track car now pulling close to the 300 or over the 300 mark depending on drivability of the car

pics up soon

 

nice one mate...

 

Great project

 

great project mate, would love to take one on my self but lack of space holding me back. look forward to seeing the pics in the new year

 

Cheers lads, need to make a decision on what turbo to run on it as last one bolted to it was GT28 but been speaking with me mate and he ran a T34 hybrid roller baring turbo on his esocs that ran 360 bhp and 364 torque he reckons i should get a hybrid built for the 2.3?

before the block ran 301 BHP @ 12psi and and 300lb/ft torque so apparently lots of room left for growth

 

Good luck matey... looks like i'm gonna have some competition

 

yes mate with my n/a I4 it'll be a nice race on track and we'll both be upsetting cossie's but with the 2.3 Turbo I dont know where that'll leave our competition lol

 

As long as it's not in a gravel Trap mate... i'll be happy

 

you and me both mate pmsl

 

That is going to be class. Dont see many F1 or F2 RS2000's around at all these days.

 

keeep with the gt turbo , maby a gt28r or something along them lines good for way over 350bhp with the right housings awsome project mate

whats the spec of your new moter then ?

 

cheers lads

block spec is

Arrow Precision rods, JE pistons ill get list up later of other spec to go with such as injecters, manifolds, turbo

 

Looks good

 

Nice project


Cage looks sweet

 

Not finished yet?
