well heres my pics i took after getting it mostly finished today.

spec:
8.2:1CR,
ported head,
standard cams (for the minute)
T61 turbo and Turbonetics external wastegate running 10psi at present,
stainless pipework,
Proalloy intercooler with larger 105mm in/out pipes,
1000cc/min walbro injectors,
L8 ecu with karl norris map,bought with injectors/ECU untill mine goes into Paul Hills next year to get mapped to my P8/ALS ECU,
10mm plug leads
iriddium race plugs

AP 4 paddle clutch,
helical 1st,2nd and 3rd gears in T5 RWD box,

spax shocks/springs,

17inch ESA 6 spokes in anthracite,

standard brakes for the minute but 330mm/brembo calipers on the way,


sparco drivers seat,
leather passenger seat,
stripped interior,


mods to come:
brakes,
fit front + rear strutbraces that are lying in the boot!
50bhp NOS kit to fit on hot side of intercooler to help cooling of ACT`s even more,
17inch OZ racing magnezium Monte style wheels powdercoated anthracite,
harnesses,

few more bits and bobs but that`ll do for the minute!

hope you enjoy pics:

 

what is the purpose of your saff mate. track days or for the road
looks well nice
what sort of bhp?

 

sounds cool mate,,, long time no chat

 

 

i`ll mostly use it for track/drag purposes but its also taxed and tested

i`ll be happy with 450bhp as i want to sacrifice a bit of top end power for massive torque, well in theory anyways


Alright Gareth, i`ll catch you on MSN tonight at some point


even on 10psi its much much quicker than my old spec of T35 and greys setup, bit laggy though but it needs the springs in wastegate replaced and they not here untill next weekend.

 

top mate i love it

what bhp do you think she is at 10psi?


carl

 

i like the rocker cover colours. very nice

 

i have no idea what power, guessing 350ish? but loads and loads more torque though


it took me ages to decide on colours to do rocker cover, see how long before someone copies it

 

Looking good Sean!!!

 

Very nice indeed

I bet its a animal on those standard wheels

 

Looks good,saw it at AAS the other day.

 

That is hard as fuck.
I like it

 

Aye aye wee man

Get stuck in because this sounds like a cool beasty

 

alright Davy/Lambchop etc!

cheers for comments people, much appreciated

hope to have Damien fully built to Destroyer spec by april next year.
After cam swops and remapped with P8/ALS i hope to have over 480bhp but even more torque.

Transmission mods possibly entail a quaife tall first gear/ultra close 2/3/4/5 with 3.9:1 diff or 6 speed T56 but i am waiting untill the motor is fully setup so i can see where the power delivery comes in,
if it is 4800+rpm when on full boost i will defanitley fit a 6sp box.

time will tell though, but for the minute my low boost setup is brilliant for making the same noise as a Harrier Jump Jet

 

i got a couple of pics on my pc of Damien, from while ago but gives a rough idea on what the body/wheels are like at present!

 

Alreeeet Sean

Engine looks like its gonna do some damage good luck with it!

 

wtf have you got covers on the headlights for? They look gash

 

Looks like it will be a beast, I was gunna ask as well. Whats the crack with the head light covers

 

lookin good mate, love the rocker cover but really gotta agree with Lambchop regardng the light covers. ruin the look of the car. spot on apart from that

 

i would run standard wheels if i could get good enough traction!
i only run 17`s because i seem to have less wheelspin, no matter what tyres i used on the 15" rims...... slicks etc......... once i fitted 17`s my 1/4 mile times instantley dropped by over 2 seconds.

even tried 15" wheels on full slicks and cant even get close to 13.2sec 1/4 mile times i ran on the 17`s.

 

only used the headlamp covers cos they matched the wheels.

when you look round the car up close it actually suits the wheels etc!

 

shouldn't you have an air filter on your list of next mods?

love the cam cover

 

i actually like the headlight covers

 

Nitrous before the intercooler is a properly dum idea by the way.

 

dumb idea?
not being arsey but hows it dumb?
inject N2O on hot side, cools air before intercooler, then it is cooled by intercooler and lowers inlet charge temps even more.
proven fact in places like Australia,US and Malta.

i was told and given detailed rolling road and datalogged temp sensor/power readings this by the guys at Zqodi racing (spelling) in Malta who run a 7sec mk1 escort running 2wd cossie power.

as said before, NOT being arsey but after seeing power output and temp graphs in realtime setups, what do your setups/figures suggest?

i am genuinley interested in deferences in oppinion here as i have never had this discussion or been questioned on my choice for point of feed for a hard tuned and force fed (non naturally aspirated) engine, besides the american V8 setup!

regards (very very curious) Sean

 

Well I dont know about nitrous, but when injecting fuel pre intercooler is a bad idea as the rapid density change of the air when it has fuel vapour in it is a very destructive combination and will happily remove the front of your car. So depending on the Nitrous setup if you are injecting Nox and fuel at the same point I can see where it can lead, hence the concern.

I like the headlamp cover very 80's capri

Rob

 

how much are these external wastegates??,i need my wastegate ported,would i be better with one of these?

 

is it long studded sean? just outa interest?

i know you use a 205 blocks so i was just wondering

 

Hi Sean

looking good mate !!!! well done

marco

 

...a 205 block cannot be long studded!

 

Whys that Phil ?
