Hi just and update,

Be a slow process these last few weeks, not much left to go before we can crank the big bitch over for the first time.. Has got 15L of penrite run in oil, in the dry sump tank ready to rock. So the last few days iv been doing all the tidy up jobs. Not long now!!

just a quick question: when the engine torques will it do damaged to the top rad hose as its vertually rigid? Looks great though!

bugger, sorry mate i think i dribbled on your car

the wiggins clamps actually do have an amount of flex in them. I think it should be ok.

great build mate. should be a very, very, very fast car. Love that it's still a 2.7 and not a 30. I think for what you want a 2.6 or 2.7 is the way to go as you will want revs and lots of them.

what kind of gearbox are you going to run in it?

[johnbarry88]

so they work on a vband style setup correct? if so when the pipe does move away from the 2 surfaces does that mean the clamp will seal the fluid inside?

[Beer Baron]

there's a little expandable piece inside. hard to explain but if you've ever held one in your hands and played with it a bit you'll get the idea. it's not a huge amount but they do allow both flex and twist without leaking.

loooooool - are u talking about the hose or something else? haha

[johnbarry88]

lol sweet thanks for the clarification

[Nur33]

The clamps have a fair amount of give in them, they are rubber o'ring sealed on a feral, the are a pain in the arse to put together but are extremely well made as these are the genuine Adel Wiggins clamps, the 4" clamp was worth $600 and thats each. If you you look at any top notch race cars, weather it be Ken Blocks Fiesta, GT Cars, majority of them run them.

[PM-R33]

Fark! $600 each!?

[NYTSKY]

Ive estimated over 100k for this build so far. $600 for a clamp is neither here or there.

Love this thread too Phil?

[typevu]

Epic build you've got going here! I just went through the whole thread - get a video up of your first dyno run and down the strip!

Heres something to get you pumped

Hi Guys

Another quick update for ya's, engine work is nearly complete, the wiring loom will be finished on thrusday, once thats done just gotta do brake lines and a few other tidy up jobs. Tomorrow we will be test fitting all the body panels and checking the lines of them all and adjusting them so they look shit hot. Here's some quick pics of the engine in its final stages (sorry about poor quality, get some better ones tomorrow).
