today my intercooler radiator and cams turned up hopefully the rest of my parts turn up by friday

ok thanks ill defernetly look in to the tomei pump then hopefully they will cancel my order for the n1 pump

ok any reason why you say no to the n1 pump

thanks mate i hope it will be a bit of a update i ordered n1 water and oil pump today and adjustable cam gears ill get photos when i get some good progress or parts start turning up and also the car is completely stripped minus the dash and the doors and suspention and im about to start seam welding it what im wondering is it better to stich weld it or completely seam weld it ive herd good and bad about both stiles any imput would be appreciated thanks tim

it was ment to have a new pinion and crown wheel and was reshimed and a whole lot of other crap but to be onest im not shaw what was done and i wasnt happy with any of the work that the work shop done since then ive done every thing my self and will do as much as i can on this one sorry i couldnt help more

i originally wanted to keep my active lsd with my old car so i got it rebuilt and it was good again for about 4 track days but last time i went out it was strarting to single spin again thats why ive been considering changing it but i might have to look in the drive train section thank for the help as for the quaife lsd that would be the one i got three of my mates have them and any lsd that has a lifetime warranty sounds good to me but so far quaife havent helpied to my emails so i might have to try looking some where else to get one

i ordered most of the parts for the motor today i ordered cp 20 thou over bore pistons argo rods arp main caps arp head studs tomie type b valve springs tomie 270 by 10.3 cams bronze valve guides acl race series bearing mains and bigends i will order 1mm oversize valves soon along and will be starting to port the head soon still undecided on alot of things like is it worth buying a front lsd or should i changed the rear diff from active lsd to 2 way lsd or if i should go dry sump this time

an update the motor is out and is now striped it was in good nick for a motor with 160000 kms on it the block and crank and head will go of to the machineing shop this week

the manifold is complete minus drilling the hole for the wastegate and mounting the wastegate witch ill try and get done by the weekend

ok thanks i didnt think it would be possible to get a new one

im about to get my car sand blasted so it can be resprayed what i was wondering is if i get the car sand blasted the sticker is going to come of what i want to no is if it is possible to get a new and where would i go about getting it from thanks tim

a bit of a update while iam waiting to get my engine crane back me and a mate decided to start on the manifold on my other car so there will still be some process this week the manifold will be made out of 1.5 inch steam pipe with 500 mm runners here is the progress

thats all good i like a challenge thats why i want to build the whole cage not shaw if ill bend it up my self or not yet but ill have at least a month to decide and also every time some else works on my car they stuff it up thats why the plan is for this car to do evry thing my self decides machineing of the the motor

thanks for that it might be worth looking into ill deferntly weld it in my self witch eva way i decide to go thanks tim

i only want a steel cage chrome molly is a no go for me dont want the hassle or expenise of it does it say any thing about the grade of steel required

might be worth looking in to what would you roughly be looking for them to bend up a basic cage if they are not to expensive thanks tim

thats great i might have to look into bigger cams and also a different ecu the only problem with that is learning the new tunning soft ware also concidering oversize valves this time around other then that im super happy with the bottom end combo i went on my road car so ill stick with the same on this one

the cage will be going in as soon as ive stripped it all and figured out a design and all the spec ill need to build the cage to it will be a slow process as it will be the first cage ive built so far im strugling to under stand the cams manual for cage specs from what i can see i cant find steel grade spec or if your aloud to use press bends in it or what type of welder must be used to get it cams aproved

thats impressive witch exhaust housing is it and is it garrett or hks and how aggressive did you have to go with your tune to get them numbers if you dont mind me asking as im hoping to push the tune a bit harder this time a bit of a update the engine and box is ready to come out when i get my engine crane back from my mate tommorrow

thats big power 620 at 25s a good effort is that on pump fuel at the moment i think cams are holding my road car back as they are baby pon cams 9,15 by 260s with this car im still unsure of what cams im going to use i want to go bigger as the pon cams are not making power after 7600rpm i was thinking around 270 by 10.3 this time but dont want it to be to laggy any ideas of a good track cam thanks tim

im hoping to make some good numbers out of it my road car made 401 kws on 21 pound with a really safe tune this motor will be the same as my road car with just a few little differences hopin for about the 420 to 430 mark at 21 pound fingers crossed ill start stripping the car tommorrow should have the motor and box out by next weekend then ill start on the interior and wireing the week after

i was tossing up between the two and opted for the t04z with my road car at first the response and power was weigh down untill i cracked a head gaskit and decided to up the comp from 8.2 to 9.7 and i find that a really good combo on diy race fuel any way probably not be great on pump fuel but this car will be on diy race fuel at all times and ive also got two exhaust housings for the t04z housings .70 divided and a .84 divided havent tried the .70 yet but should make full boost by about 4000 hopefully thanks for the advice keep it coming

the main thing im planning for the car will be road rallys and hill climbs and time attack but ill see how i go the plan for the car is full built motor top mount t04z turbo mild steel cage strut to strut full seam weld porsche 997 gt3 brakes and a few other things ive been planning but ill have to see how i go the car was just imported as a race only vechile

ive just started a new project if any one is interested here it is after stuffing around with my road car for the last four years it got to the point where i was going to have to ruin a good road car and turn it into a race car or to start fresh with a proper race only car and sell my road car as standard and get out of a bit of dept so i decided to get a race only car and it turned up today it looks very straight and i cant wait to start turning it into a race car any way heres some pics and ill keep any one whos interested updated

thanks for the help fellows i think ill just use them and see how they go its good to no i got bigger calipers then i thought yippy
