Just got these pics from Brom........

 

 

looking sweet doug,

 

Can you run any type of heat sheild with the way you have your wastegate mounted or are you just going to wish for the best?

 

Lookin good there, love external wastegates and the turbo's associated with them!!

 

Looks very nice, Doug.

Looks like it will be a bit more powerful than mine was at stage 1

You will have to take me for a blast when its all done

 

What power are you expecting from Zoo's Stage 1

 

Looking good doug

certainly shall be a well spec'd stage 1

 

Bill, the aim was "a little bit" over 560 BHP but with very quick spool-up (low lag)........The idea/spec was to build a really responsive engine with T4 power

 

You now need a sticker for the rear bumper stating "Running In - please pass....whilst you can!"

 

that turbo is never up to a stage one surely?



very nice doug! hope it all comes together soon!

 

wicked doug,, going too be one hell of a machine

 

I'll leave that all up to Brom who is installing the engine - he properly knows his stuff!!

 

is that a T3 or T34 ?????

looks sweet tho

 

Looking good Doug

Top work by Brom as usual

 

well done doug and brom going to go past me even faster next time then

 

When you looking to have it on the road, Doug

 

Hope it's ready for this weekend..........but I'm not rushing Brom.

I'ts ready when he says so

 

 

top work

 

got my inj new from mike r and the first thing harvey said when he asked what inj i was using was to get them to him to flow test them, i think some have had probs. I used a pj manifold but had to modify for my wastegate cos of a different flange and did not like the mounting position. I could have modified a standard one and saved a fortune , but where the take off is it bares off from the manifold rather than at 90 deg so a bit better for flow.

 

well i have all injectors tested brand new or 2nd hand and regardless of make
best to double check everything
martoons wastgate design is the best out there bar a tubulair manifold

 

was't that developed by mr gibbs either waythey all seem to work, just dont use egr pipes

 

no as far as i know martoon did it on his car yrs ago and now sells them to everybody

 

cool i think he developed it with harvey a while back, it works very well and is a lot cheaper than other options

 

at the end of the day its your own choice, one advantage of martins is you can have different flanges( he supplied my tial ones) they both work well, if we were all the same it would be wank

 

Engine looks fantastic Doug, cant wait to see it in real life

 

looks the dogs mate

 

no it was not

 

ok , p.s thanks for the advice you gave during my build, its good to see some people are still prepared to help out

 

back on topic, good luck doug

 

Thanks for all the nice replies............

 

Doug,

Spoke to Brom today, and he said your engine was a bit of a monster!

Fair play - I'll happily take a ride out in the yellow car or the red car when I meet ya

 

Looking good Doug is it getting dyno'd + live mapped or just live mapped?

ps...
Sorry but i just had to add the following!

Phil stop talking the talk having not really walked the walk you argumentative tart

Some of the rest of you need to stop bum licking certain individuals as quite frankly its embarasing to watch

 

Thanks Spadge...............not been dyno'd but it will be properly live mapped by Karl

No problem Rich

 

VERY NICE Doug



To Brom and the other zooer's


Well said spadge

 

looking good doug im sure you will get the most out of it when its done

 

Looking Good Mr Stirling

Al...

 

Looks brilliant mate

 

Just to clarify Martin's wastegate design, it was developed on Harvey's engine dyno (which may be where there is the confusion) BY Martin. The first design didn't work, and with the wastegate fully removed from the pipe, it still made 2 bar of boost. All Harvey said was that Martin would have to change the design to get the gas flow to travel down the pipe (as it was bypassing it). Martin went away, redesigned it all by himself, came back and it worked perfectly. I know this, as I was there. You have to remember, this was all a bit of a dark art at the time. Although Martin's wastegate postition will need to be heat protected, it works properly and can control the boost . The reason why Martin often comments on others that might not work, is because his first design (that didn't work) is exactly how many others have built theirs. Now you all know the score, you can stop bitching .
