That's fucking nuts!

 

Spoke to Mark this morning looking to map it next thursday or friday

Keith

 

WOW The engine etc is absolutley fucking immense.

This is my fave pic tho, it looks SO badass



Trust me mate, its a LOT thicker and wider than anything ive seen on a Cossie as yet!

 

Hi Stavros

Glad you like it,

Its about time Redline came and took some more photos of it lol

Keith

 

Some photos of the new 2008 spec engine.

 

Hi J1mbo

The intercooler core is 700mm long 300mm tall and 170mm thick.

Keith

 

such a cool piece of machinery!

 

Just read this all the way through Keith - what a proper weapon

Such awesome attention to detail - all the right ingredients for a VERY fast car!

Come on so far from when i first saw you run at Shakey - Rotorstock 2004 i think...

Look forward to seeing it used in anger at TOTB!

 

cant wait for totb!

 

yes things have changed over the last few years lol

Keith

 

that is fucking awesome mate

 

Looks Amazing mate!


fair play to you mate, hope it performs how you want it too

 

wow that is alot bigger than what it looks like in the pics
fair play

 

Fuck me this car makes me damp!!

 

Amazing machine, looks like you have had to take quite a swipe out of the cam cover just to make space to fit that huge turbo!

 

just a little bit lol

 

I just love how purposeful it is, utterly fuck all there that isnt needed, and everything present and correct that should be, "no compromise" sums it up well in 2 words, but so does "fucking nuts"

 

If you look close you will see 2 cosworth crank sensors lol

 

LOL, oh yeah, glad fords were useful for something!

In that picture about that one it looks like the jubilee clips are REALLY narrow, then I realise they are probably 10mm wide its just they are on a fucking MASSIVE pipe.

What size is that intake to the turbo? 6"?

 

Yes the pipework going to the turbo is 6" and the pipwwork from the turbo to the intercooler is 4".

the throttle body is 120mm

 

 

Engineering masterpiece mate...

So what sort of times are you aiming for this year the Keith?

Dare i say 7's?

 

Thats just mental, really really cool, everything just on such a huge scale.

Intake manifold looks awesome, is that an off the shelf aftermarket one or custom?

 

would love to get close to a 7

Keith

 

Wish you all the best then mate...

looking at the car id say you gotta be in with a shot of a 7

Massive, massive respect

 

the plenum was made by the same person that made all the pipework and the intake.

 

Good skills, you obviously have all the right people on the case

I spoke to Mark about the engine years ago and was fucking amazed how much timing it takes etc, nutty what these motors will do on race fuel!

 

little and large lol

 

Fucking hell, I had a picture like that of my GT42R, but that thing would dwarf it!

 

I think we were running 28 degrees ign with 3 bar boost last year.

Keith

 

Yeah he was saying no matter what compression ratio it got built, it always seemed to want higher!



Crazy stuff, amazing it manages to hold in one piece!

I take it no one has ever had the sort of block issues Mark is getting with the YB's?

 

its a one off from turbo dynamics its part GT42 and GT47 i think lol

it will run 1300bhp so i am told.

Keith

 

I just dont know how the transmission manages to take it!

 

on the 0-300 run at totb last year we lifted the head,that was because we had boost kreep after the run i looked at the log and in 6th gear it was pulling 3.5bar lol

Keith

 

3.5 bar from a 42R... fuck me thats gotta feel amazing!!

 

not a problem still running a std transfer box and std driveshafts, i think nissan went a bit ott with the std skyline.

 

here is the turbo sitting next to a T88

 

^^^ Ha ha ha awesome

 

Thats gotta make 4wd cossie owners feel pretty sick, lol

 

@ 3.5 bar, for fucks sake!
