No point me adding much here, cos I spoke to you last night, and I am speaking to you now PMSL

 

looks amzing! well done!

 

Spot on Mr C

 

OK Peeps. Update time!!

Having done a bit of High Boost/High Load testing, we found that the ACT's were creeping up. Normally I wouldn't have worried, but with the fact that the car is going to see some Top Speed action, I went for a rethink on the Intercooler. This involved a trip to Pro Alloy's workshop and after a lengthy discussion we arrived at a new Custom Intercooler design for my car. Then, due to certain other time constraints, the boys really delivered the goods in terms of time. They turned this job around SO quickly, for which I am highly grateful. CheeRS Wayne/Alex.

Anyway, the new Cooler features a 63mm Core and is wider than its predecessor. The design of the Top End Tank is nothing less than superb. There is no way that you could run an RST Bonnet Catch with this style of cooler, due to the Bonnet Clearance (or lack of).

I wanted to run a Cooler that was no bigger than I needed, for the purpose of minimising lag, but on this occassion, I have had to make a sacrifice in the name of a little more safety, due to the expected use of the car. I haven't carried out further tests yet, but if the new Cooler yields any extra power, then it will certainly have surpassed my expectations. The car already feels VERY fast.

Incidentally, the Fans had to be upgraded too, due to the extra thickness of the Intercooler. I also had to remount the Radiator and Cannabalise the Bumper!

So a BIG to the Pro Alloy guys.

I didn't get a chance to take a pic of the finished article with the Bumper on as the fitting of the Cooler resulted in me being late to pick up Ms B from work (for which I would have received a sharp slap to the head). I will take some pics over the weekend and hopefully get a chance to run it up on the 'Test Track'.

Enjoy......

 

Those boys rock up there, eh Mr C

Did you get them a cake to easy the burden? I did, went down a treat

Q TT ordering one too

 

AFPMSL.

I would LOVE to hack Tonys car to make that bad boy fit!!

 

I think thats the way to go mate, with the bumper back on i bet you can't see ant mountings?

Better than drilling ya slam panel

 

Niiiiiiiiiiice

No turbo cooler? It looks like it can be a bit longer too, hmmmmm, all things to be considered in the mk2 version

Looks like an easy fit mate, very nice. Now hurry up and fit mine

 

looks sweet

 

Thats quite an amazing job you're doing there
Nice to see how you do everything yourself... hopefully you'll sort it out so "she" will be back on the road soon..

good luck

 

Top work the Pro Alloy boys as usual!!!

 

wow!!!! looks like an Pace on steroids well done, lucky me I don't have to cough up the ŁŁŁ's

 

ya could have bolted a rs500 cooler from them on, u would have never have problems then, but the way are u going to be running water injection

 

sweet car want it. what speeds are you looking for on the new engine?

 

CheeRS everyone.

Hoping for 165mph. I just don't know when I will get the opportunity to run it.

 

Looking good Christian - hope to see the car in the flesh sometime soon

 

Great read and nice work to.Engine look cool

 

What turbo you running now Mr C ?

Where do ya get the black crackly stuff done ?

 

Turbo is GT Series. It was spec'd for the car, so can't really say exactly what it is.

As for the Black Crackle, I have it done by a Local guy who is a good friend. He does alot of Cam Covers for our Nissan 200SX Engine builds too and the quality is SUPERB!!

 

Christian, you'll have a pm later

 

intercooler looks the business dont forget to let us know how the act's change with it fitted

 

WOW!

Just taken time to read the whole thread start to finish and to say i'm impressed with this car would be an understatement!

I knew it was a special bit of kit before you started doing all this to it but the work gone into the engine is just superb!

What kind of power do you think, or know lol its running now mate?

Well Done!

 

When you do...

Good luck with your top speed run

 

 

 

sorted

 

Hi Everyone!!! Thanks for your comments.

There are some more changes coming with the car, so there may be an update or two over the course of the next week or so.

All in time for the PF Thrash, hopefully!!

 

 

The first of 3 main changes has arrived today.

 

UPDATE!

 

update us then mr C

 

Is it an intercooler as you said you weren't happy with yours when I saw you at the Essex Meet?

 

mad car hopefully ready for pf thrash i think youll easily get your 165mph mate mint car

 

update

 

Dave, how can you tell? - Will be good to see the update and results

 

I'm saying nothing

Mr C - You know where to send the top secret preview photos first

 

 

so it is your intercooler thats for sale

howcome?

bassboy

 

I think tomorrow night is the night!!

Not sure if I will get it all done though.

It's nothing that major, just hopefully the few missing links that then mean I can turn the Boost up a little!!

The car is constantly in development, but I really do NEED to be able to drive it and enjoy it, as the problems lately have really destroyed my enthusiasm. There are a few things like ALS, Full Throttle Gearshift and Closed Loop Lambda Control that are coming soon, but they have really taken a back seat for now.

CheeRS again all for your comments. Can't wait until the Thrash!!
