Mmmmm, proper tuning stuff

Is there much difference between the potential of your head there (which looks like a silver top to me?) and a black top or ST170 head?

it is a silvertop,well once the heads back its going off again to have the big valves fitted. as for a comparison between the different type i could comment but mine looks much nicer lol

What I meant was is there scope for more flow with the same work if you'd modified a black top or ST170 head to fit your silver top bottom end? Or would the results be exactly the same? Obviously as standard the black top flows better, and the ST170 even more so.

im sure gains could of been had with either of the other but ill stick with the silvertop engine...stick with what you know and all that lol

Yeah, that's fair enough

[FRSJON]

time for a update


some pic first..


this..



turned into this..













bumpers now look like this



front splitter is carbon





cylinder head is back from having the big valves fitted and a skim





the turbo has now been changed and is CR turbo t38, plus the injectors changed again to siemens 875cc ones. i have this week off to get as much done to the engine as possible as the cars been engineless for a year now !

The front bumper looks really good! Very suiting to the rest of the car.

Do you have a power figure in mind?

[FRSJON]

cheers chaps,power wise id still like to see 350 but whatever it makes after that is a bonus

[FRSJON]

first pic of the new exhaust manifold crazycage has made me

[Smo]

That's some amazing skill there!

Very nice

Were you tempted to move the turbo over the box at all?

[2105adam]

Lovely bit of kit that. How are going to make room at the front now? Guessing there isn't much left for the rad and cooler.

no,i wanted it in the standard position...charge pipe and wiring locations put me off the over the gearbox type

we will see lol to be fair the turbo itself 'looks' closer to the box and slightly further to the right of the bay so room should be ok..my rad/cooler are as far forward as they can go..

[FRSJON]

manifold all welded up

[jayrs]

Very nice jon

[Dazza]

[chrisxr2it3]

Looks spot on fairplay what's the space between turbo and rad like with one of these fitted

[niracka]

That manifold looks lush. Good to see it done properly!! Can I ask what radius of bends he used for the sections?

Olly

[FRSJON]

cheers chaps,space between manifold and rad are a unknown at the mo as neither of them are on the car ,as for the radius,all bend were 90 degree and straight sections added where needed if thats what you mean.pretty sure the tube is 40 something mm heads getting bolted down in a min with cams fitted..just waiting for the cam pulley then i can fit the belt and get it in the car

[niracka]

Was after the actual bend radius but if you don't know it don't matter was just interested but its something i'll be able to work out with some more research. If I get a frst I'll be making myself one. Has it got a separator in the collector??

Olly

[FRSJON]

the collector is four sections of tube cut and welded to make one.. its awesome
this is how it started..

[niracka]

Nice work there. Like I said its nice to see it done properly!!

Look forward to seing it all fitted

[FRSJON]

well after tomorrow the engine will be ready to go in the car so wont be long before i can try it

[Turboboy67]

Great progress mate

[FRSJON]

no pics yet but engines in

It´s a great car. I love it.
But is the diffusor right ? Your diffusor is horizontally to the ground. But for the ground effect, you need angle.

you sir are correct i think a 15 degree angle is the most efficient but mine is only a diffuser to the eye,it wont be working in the way it should.mine is more to open up the rear bumper and look mean lol to be fair rear down force is not something the car really needs and most will tell you i wont drive it fast enough to make it work any way

[FRSJON]

a few pics of how it stands at the mo...

[jayrs]

Very nice dude

[niracka]

Looks lovely. not a lot of room for the rad though

Olly

Olly

my rad sits on the outside of the lip on the cross member so all good.. hope the turbo has enough room though

[freak power]

Makes me want to buy a FRST and build a monster Zetec turbo

Just a shame I have problems sorting out my 650bhp Audi S3
