Hi Adam, the floor isn’t finished in the pictures. I guess some weight is "good weight" a bit like the cage?

He didn’t charge me anything like £30-40k but he will no doubt remind me that he should have done. I expect it would have been north of 40k with some of the big firms, especially when you consider all the bits it had already.

Any updates?

Caddyshack

had a few pics this week and he seems to think it will be finished soon.

Is engine all done mate ready to go in ?

If we dont soon get sorted and have our day at pod we will soon be able to pop to the post office on the way to pod to collect our pensions 🤣😂 lmfao

turnover

to be fare to caddy shack his crisp packet is basically been fully rebuilt,your cosworth Karl has had a head fitted and a remap which has been how long 😂🤣

Caddyshack

engine just needs Mr Shead to have a quick look over but yes, it is ready for the map to be tweaked to suit the new spec stroker and then we will stick the bigger efr on it. Engine made over 700 bhp when it was dynoed before but I am using a smaller turbo.

Caddyshack

it really is a crisp packet...even more than before!

Only 18 months 😂🤣 lol
Had a gearbox blow up aswell and 2 remaps, awaiting 3rd 🤣😂

What you going for now mate a max response 500/500 setup ?

visa_broke

What happened to the gearbox?

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

It destroyed 3rd gear but rod had that gearbox for years and years

Caddyshack

undecided, either the above or go for 630 and max out the next efr up. Most likely 500 for now...if the back pressure on the turbo is not too high it should come on boost like an electric car takes off.

Have you looked at some plots mate to see losses to the left and gains to the right for the 630 setup ?
Must be loads on marks page dyno plots to look at, which turbos you looking at ? IL go take a look pal once I know the turbos your considering and see what I can find for ya 👍👍

Efr 7064 full shove 4000 rpm





Efr 7670
full shove 5000 rpm

I always find these dyno graphs of a turbo engine difficult to interpret. On the dyno the load must be different than on the road, so it turbo might spool sooner or later on the road. So perhaps full boost for the 7064 can already be at 3500 on the road (also depending on which gear of course).

On the road in 3rd gear my T34.48 makes full boost at 3600-3700 rpm. No idea how comparable that would be to the 7064 for instance, as comparing this graph to the dyno seems incorrect to me.

scoooby slayer

On a dyno dynamics in shootout mode the load (ramp rate) is always the same which makes the results comparable

It will be different on the road depending what gear your in but for making comparisons you need comparable data and there are no data logs from cars on the road to compare all the different turbos hence why all one can do is use comparable dyno runs

Caddyshack

Mark Shead was concerned that the 7064 that I currently have might not be able to hold 500 bhp on the stroker in the higher revs. Thanks for posting the plots. 7670 Is the alternative for me...much bigger won’t fit and is not needed for me.

it seems a shame not to make the most of the engine spec, the 7670 would do that imo. We expect the cams to be a bit more specced to higher revs.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Are you going on solids so can rev higher ? I guess you gotta weigh up what you want mate

I only had a quick look for plots but if those I found are comparable then there's 1000 rpm to be lost in spool to gain 100 of hp

So wots the news toby have you got the shell back from MK ???

Caddyshack

Hi Buddy,

No. not back.

I will give you a buzz and have a catch up...keen to hear how your new engine is going.

Toby

Caddyshack

To be honest I have forgotten the full spec of the engine but I am pretty sure it was built to be safe to 8000 but will not go near there as the stroker is not really suited

Any updates on this?

i only pop back in now and then to see how it’s coming along 👍

Any further progress on your project Toby?

Caddyshack

Texted Mark today as I had arranged with him to collect end of 2020, looks like I will have trailer booked for first week Jan 21. I do not have any update pics to share.

i will do a load of pics when it is back here. Thanks for looking in, I really hope to show you some rebuild pics soon.

Thank you Martin and Ian...very kind of you both.

A mate dragged half of my stuff back from scotland yesterday most sold within a day sad but time waits for nobody

Caddyshack

shame but I guess you just need to draw a line under it and move on. I hope the Sierra is proving fun?

smiley

Definitely mate everybody in this game seems to take years and years even if it would've got fabbed up ready then thiers the engine more years and years got one more run to bring the rest back then cracking on with 3dr your beam and the supra diff will be kept for it no messing about with building engine saph stg 4 dropping straight in all focus rs bits will go on an st to smoke about in so not a focus rs cosworth in the end but a focus and a cosworth 😎👍

I still have my pug 106 Cosworth 4x4 but it isn't getting a YB no more. bar my Escos im done with YB's far too expensive

Caddyshack

yes, not cheap. What engine do you plan on using? There are some nice modern engines about. I like the idea of a nice, normally aspirated engine.

i also fancy doing an Ultima with a big crate Engine.

Adam-M

Sorry to hear youve cancelled yours scott but your bloody right everyone takes ages no wonder the uk has lost its manufacturing lol

smiley

Is that ultima gtr mate? I love them look amazing followed one up the a34 not so long ago
