Goodness.
Have finished the engine bay & its about time too most bits had to be modified or changed.
Can i do a Steve Redgrave & say... If anyone hears me suggesting any more mods they have permission to shoot me.
Still have the Nitrous system to complete when some bits arrive from Australia & the States.

Rod, I agree - Get the power anyway you can to acheive what you need.

It could be said to SOME that 6 cylinders is like having an unfair advantage.

steve,


i think you will find marks down alot of working getting that turbo to work which still keeps the car driveable, considering the power is outputs.

maybe thats why rod isnt telling

Crazy to think that, what is relatively unassuming looking engine bay(ignoring fuck off turbo and wastegate) is doing what its doing

Whats the piece of copper tubing bolted to the inlet manifold??

Looks lovely, but boost is cheating of course, you should make the power all entirely N/A and find out what the REAL top speed of it is without cheating with the turbo.

Cant wait to see the results from this car, please keep posting about it as its a really interesting read IMHO (and if others dont agree they can always ignore the thread, thats the good thing about threaded forums)
