Hubba hubba!

Looks like a lovely car mate - keep us updated with pics as it gets put back together

Is it going to be used on track at all? Will keep an eye out for it at the shows next year

Cheers,

Andy

 

i might use it on the track but it's mainly going to be used to scare all the jap crap out there

 

Good stuff!

 

good

 

Jeeez, blower on that Looks lovely car too

 

specs of the engine?

looks very nice mate!

 

the engine 200 block 1mm oversized pistons lots of new parts in it arp stud+nut kit wrc head gasket now we get 2 the TURBO IT ONLY A BABY ONE HA HA garrett super t70 84 ar exhaust housing twin roller bearing with external wastegate can take up 2 650bhp but i will be running about 400+bhp on greys and 4 the SANTA POD DAYS 100bhp nos kit

 

turbo looks like an ebay job to me, be very very careful, i bet its not what they say

a real t70 would be rated to anything up to 900bhp for a good one, most are good for over 800, never seen a real t70 rated as low as that.

cool car tho

 

just fitted engine and gearbox next step making external wastegate pipe and fitting the exhaust and fitting my little intercooler??

 

nice motor can see the sheel falling aprt with that much power without stentheing
is it 5 linked??

 

yes mate it will be 5 linked with coilovers all round if it twists it will be fun while it lasts going sideways

 

keep the pics cumin m8 ,luks class

 

Damn, I want that thing

Superb !!!

 

Car looks fantastic

 

just put on a few pictures of the manifold with the wastegate fitted after i was playing around with the welder. only took me an hour to make the wastegate pipe and weld it to the manifold using special arc rods. the hardest part was getting the hole in the manifold

 

car looks g8 bet that will put in sum quick times

 

they only way is sideways

 

some more pictures of the engine and intercooler

 

looks nice m8 will be fun when that turbo kicks in you might wanna bubble it and get some wider rubber

 

looks real nice mate! where did you get the spacers for the exhaust manifold, good way of getting the clearance without going to a 2wd manifold.

 

 

got the spacers made by a friend of mine. he used an exhaust gasket as a template and had them machined out of billet alluminium. my friend has got a set left if any one is interested in them. there £20 plus p+p

 

Very Cool, that is one mutha of a turbo!!

 

exhaust and fuel tank fitted.

 

 

 

finally got the motor running. almost ready for mot. just the brakes and seats to get sorted

 

very nice mex, nice choice of engine

COSSIE POWER BITCH!!!!!!!!!!

 

fooking sweet.

 

that looks the part!!!

the proof is in the tasting so to speak!!

 

very very nice, will be a scream to drive

 

 

The nuts

 

sweet as a nut mate

 

Wow just plain wow. How much did the turbo cost?
PM me if you like.
