she is !!



all but for a bit of fine tuning she is a goer

awaiting the oil cooler, then strip down again and fit

then re mapping



off on hols on thursday so give it a couple of weeks

[shorty]

Looking very nice Bazza but I think you will have some serious torque steer with all that going though the front wheels

[Adie]

Will we be seeing her again up Pod on the 8th?

would like to say yes
but im not sure, there is running and there is running safely, getting the bit in the middle done might be tight to fit in before the 8th
but you never know

Barry is this what your aiming for

dunno how true the title is as i looks like the dodgest dyno ever

[Bazza]

a few developments

after seeing very high oil temperatures, is was necessary to get them cooler, the new turbo will help, but is was deemed necessary for a bit of cooling help

finally the oil cooler arrived
along with the filter relocator
and thermostatic divertor
a load of braided hose
and fittings
managed to find somewhere to put it all ! , its getting a bit tight in there now
after a lot of measuring, dismantling and cutting its in
have sore hands, that braided hose isnt very skin friendly



divertor is located behind the chassis bar


a little bit of tidying and tying up, and another job done
hopefully this will keep those oil temperatures down !


other developments
the turbo is having a new exhaust housing fabricated
this will allow the use of an external wastegate to allow more consistant boost levels
obviously nothings straight forward, in turn a new manifold is now being fabricated along with a new downpipe to accomodate the external wastegate

as they say, Rome wasnt built in a day

Very nice barry, have u got a catch tank ???

Good work Barrie

The stainless over braiding is quite abrasive and can "saw" through things, so it would be worth while considering spiral wrap for the hoses to protect peripheral components.

PLEASE tell me you have connected the remote oil filter pipes correctly. We saw an engine seizure a couple of weeks ago due to a garage installing one of these incorrectly by not realising that there is a one way valve inside the filter.

[Monster-Mat]

hopefully the filter head had the flow markings on it

yep all flow and returns checked

will be double checked, then triple checked when the oil pressure meter is connected

the filter head, the divertor, the adaptor plate were all marked with arrows



the hoses will be secured and where necessary wrapped, youre not kidding about it being abrasive ! my hands are still sore
