well guys lots been going on recently i bought my new gearbox last weekend and dropped it off down at automedics my engine is now out and we have decided to alter a few things

firstly were going to town on the head and porting it to the max with multi angle seats etc and also porting the inlet manifold

second whilst the box is out we sent my flywheel to be lightened which i get back today ill report back on official weight but its meant to be around 4kg

then onto the biggest news my car is going be the official demo car for automedics (am motorsport) so will be at lots of shows, 1/4 mile days, track days etc and the plans that are set for it are rather impressive and with it being a demo car i get the work done very cheap.

few things that are upcoming are a complete respray including engine out and inside the bay done with any holes that aint needed filled in etc, anything that can be renewed will be eg brake servo, brake master cylinder header tank etc. also the wiring loom will be altered so anything thats not needed will go.
engine wise were thinking of moving battery to the boot and fitting aem water injection. an external wastegate will be added and a possible change of turbo spec using my existing one and upgrading the front wheel to a t34 mated to a .49 t25 ex housing with around 30psi put through it. oh and of course a big brake upgrade as the standard ones aint really up to much after standard boost lol
these are all only a few things that were going to be doing so watch this space for one cracking project

 

Real stunner as it is, will be insane as a demo car, congrats man... & T34 @ 30psi , whats the power gonna be?

What you hoping for down the 1/4 when all said & done? could it crack 11...?

 

Thanks mate its not bad but its gotta be perfect with it being a show car as well.
Power am unsure of as im not aware of anyone doing this turbo spec iv got a feeling it will crack 250 easy though. 1/4 times are anyones guess depends how good it can be launched lol it might do 11s we will have wait and see i know gtts with around 210bhp can do high 12s.

 

Dam sounds good,going be a right beast.

 

Oh yeah its going be interesting thats for sure.

 

you should come down here some time, i know a local lad in stafford who has 3 r5's, his names carl you might of heard of him? One of his 5's is a 1.7 turbo campus, the other is a gt28 red Ph2 which has steel liners, forged pistons and rods, newman cam, Omex rev limiter and some other bits, it was 260odd bhp Before he fitted his stainless manifold, 3" downpipe and better intercooler, He also has plans for a gordini head conversion or somethin and wants over 300!

he was also breaking a black ph1 last time i saw him, Hes had shit loads of 5's in the matter of 3 years since knowing him, hes had a purple Ph1 on gold 3 spokes with a genuinew webasto sunroof, a Black Ktec/carisma kitted t25 gt, a grey Gt on polished turbines, also t25, and some others lol!

 

is he a member of rtoc ?

 

bit of an update had my flywheel lightened by am motorsport so this should help it rev a bit better espoecially when coming on/off throttle

should have my car back end of this month or start of next just in time get it to some shows etc

 

been down to am motorsport on my way home from work tonight i now have a lightened/balanced flywheel for the small cost of Ł50.
justin is looking to crack on with my car next week. he informed me that anything that can be polished in the engine bay is going to be done which i wont argue with and also hes going to port my inlet manifold whilst its off. there is going to be plenty of pics of the headwork etc

iv also decided to buy one of the tubular manifolds from the rtoc group buy (Ł135) purely so i can do a back to back test with them against a standard one am not to bothered with regards to big power gains more bothered with spool up?throttle response etc

 

my new tubular manifold looks a decent bit of kit tbh



should have car back in a week or 2

 

just bought these a much needed investment tbh ktec 285mm front brake set up Ł82 all in not bad eh

also treated car to a new header tank as mine was filthy
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...T#ht_500wt_715

 

wouldnt a gt28rs be better on a c1j than a t34?

 

Beast...av one in the family too Long way away from Rtoc....

 

not as such as they use a big .64 rear housing where as ill be using a .49 t25 rear

cool mate howcome you not in with rtoc ?

 

I am fella...Avin a changr of seen for a day while i sort her outbelieve u posted a response too me the other day on there...
was a soppie question about headgasket fitting(5 Turbo is me)..

 

ah yeah i did and iv answered you today anyhthing you wanna know fella just drop me a pm on there

anyway couple of updates for you all

received the ktec big brakes and new header tank last week



should help me stop better and that header tank will tidy up the engine bay as mine was tatty as you can see from pics

popped into am motorsport tonight on route back from work things are looking good and the head is looking sound, couldnt believe how shoddy the bb tuning head was seemed like a friday afternoon special haha.
had a good chat whilst i was there and it looks like ill be getting fibreglass panels sometime prob over the winter

panels which we are looking at doing are, bonnet,boot,doors,front wings and roof

best thing is both my doors aint the best and my bonnet is rather shot so its ideal really

 

few updates for you all cant say how happy i am with the headwork and inlet work thats been done by justin at am motorsport

before bb tuning poor work head


after am motosport bw head







had alot of work done to it also the inlet has been really ported out and also had the exterior flatted down and mirror polished ill get pics asap. also taken the opportunity to clean all the samco hoses whilst all off the car they have come up really well and look like new

will be getting car back this week with a bit of hope we did find that it needs a new passenger side wheel bearing so one of them will be going on.

 

also for anyone interested the r5gtt c1j world record was finally bought back to the uk yesterday 11.09 @ 127.01 mph this is not running at full power and could very well see it into the high 10s today
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StMHM..._order&list=UL

 

engine is now all built back up with the tubular manifold fitted just a case of dropping it in the bay now and then the fun begins



had a bit of a pig replaced the passenger front wheel bearing and the discovered that the inner spigot is worn out so gotta get another, also was supplied with the wrong 2mm needle valve for my carb so gotta order the right one

 

Your a Gent..
Looking Good Fella..Gona shift her when she done...
Hope you got spare cacks

 

not a problem fella

iv also decided to replace both ball joints and track rod ends whilst we have the front hubs off would be rude not to really

 

UPDATE as of 25/05/2011 the engine went back in the car and started for the first time sounded really good and my god does it rev more sharply now with the l/b flywheel

couple of quick bay pics



its really close to being done now all thats left is fine tune the carb for 22psi, gauges id imagine will be in now as when i left at 4pm today they wasnt far off going in .

weather permitting this weekend ill be doing a full valet on the car all day job lol ready for rtoc national day 4th june

 

how the hell do you know where all them vacuum pipes go off the carb :S

i wouldnt even attempt to put my raider gtt back together mechnically haha

 

haha theres a mound of stuff in that bay its pretty straight forward after watching it being done several times really

 

i suppose so! haha!

i just got fed up with my raider and stuck it up for sale! im too busy focusing on my rs turbo, to give the R5 the love it needs!

there is a guy actually coming from yorkshire, at the weekend to buy it!

 

very good mate you getting a good price for it ? my mate just sold his 250+bhp r5gtt for Ł3400

 

it has barely had interest at Ł525 fuck sake

rtoc thread: http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=10683

 

my old r5 ran a gt28rs with like you say a 0.63 end

13psi of boost at 5100rpm and 30psi of boost at 5500rpm, ported head on standard manifold, due to the 270cam it ran out of puff at 6500rpm so very narrow powerband, still produced 260bhp at 30psi and ran mid 12s at 111mph

when i went from a 270 cam to a 285 it made a much better difference as it was still making power into the early 7krpm to give me a better power band and of course more power, i estimated it was about 275bhp then.

was still on standard pistons and rods so there with some work, bigger ports and valves and more boost i think 300bhp should be achieveable.

best was my mate stu who i helped develop with front mount kit, after which he ran 11.4@124mph at 42psi of boost and revved to 8600rpm.

if i had kept it, i think i would have continued to develop it up to a real 350bhp.....not the old bullshit numbers that went around years ago.

im interested in who ran 11.09 as i work out hes making around 420bhp, any specs on it?

 

ill try get the spec off glen fella

UPDATE

iv now got my car back and my god is it a different beast to when it went on the last dyno day, fuelling is set up absolutely bang on sounds healthy as anything, and also left a certain subapoo driver with egg on his face about half hour ago

so now tomorrow ill be spending all day cleaning it making it look good ready for rtoc national day next sat

 

You in Crewe tonight with it? Looks well

 

See you and your dad years ago doing 12,s at pod. You only use to have 1k powerband on that lag moster before you changed gears.You also had a front on it that looked like a lorry.

 

Ay up yeah i was up there pal we was at some leaving party for someone who worked with my mrs. I decided drive get a few miles clocked up and also check the fuelling in 4th n 5th which has shown me just might need drill.lut the main or 2nd stage a tad more.
Are you.coming the next dyno day in july?

 

well guys am absolutely loving the car atm got a little tweak of the carb to do today as in 4th and especially 5th its going lean on full boost 13-14afr

carb atm is standard main,2mm needle,1.2mm 2nd stage and 100 air corrector so am thinking either 1.3mm 2nd stage or 0.9 a/c might solve this

gave the car a full valet inside and out yesterday i was really pleased with how the carpet/seats etc come up used ag interior shampoo couldnt believe how well it cleaned everything

 

thursday evenings plan will be to drill out 2nd stage to 1.3 and reduce a/c to 0.9. also fitting a new uj for the steering wheel as mine has a bit of play in it

 

got a quick pic earlier

 

thats me, first ever run at pod turned out to be a 12.9 on low boost, turned my water injection on, stuck another set of plugs in as the water was blowing the spark out then pulled the line off the wastegate, was good fun that car, tuning with a carb was so simple back then, if in doubt, add more fuel and boost!!

i think i ran a 1.35mm jet which was good enough for 30psi of boost and on the videos you could tell it was a bit rich, still it helps a little with piston cooling, you added any water injection yet?

 

staying with standard main atm as alot of people never change this anymore, might need change it if we still need a spot more fuel though and now iv got the aem wideband in there can keep a good close eye on things

water injection is going on in winter fella as thats when the next build is happening diff turbo spec etc

 

well guys had a great day out yesterday at the rtoc national day at mallory park first time iv been there was a great little drive out 125mile round trip and the car didnt miss a beat used half tank of fuel oh and had one of the best shots in my rear view mirror ever a jaguar xj220 obviously he wasnt there for long cuz i smoked him innit blud haha .

had a couple of fords on track yesterday a xr2 what seemed be on a zetec with throttle bodies/carbs and a focus st which seemed pretty stock maybe a stage 1 remap?

anyway i got a few pics from the night before when i gave my car a little going over they aint the best but you get the idea.

 

i do love an R5 looks spot on to grey, red seats and turbines perfect car
