hay mate, to tell the truth i dont know what is being done with the cam covers.

the engine is in the car and the ARE intercooler is bolted in position, pipe work has begun, the mercury welder is very neat, ill post up photos in a few days once it is done.

thumbs up

The covers are painted in an awesome custom pearl blue colour, which is currently Mercury's signature colour for rocker covers. It's up to Jay whether or not he intends to keep this colour or choose another!

The engine is in the car and the piping is being fabbed and the rest of the gear is being bolted in.

Here are the latest photos.

1st photo is the spit fire coil packs

2nd photo is the turbo side of the intercooler with the bov on it

3rd photo is the ATI 1000hp balanced

4th photo is the custom serge tank with 2 x 044 pumps

5th photo is of the 4inch dump pipe an par gear box

how much padding for the cage will you need to put in? this is going on the street still isn't it?

to be correctly mod plated it needs to have padding anywhere near where the head can hit.

Looks great! What kind of power you hoping to achieve after final tune?

there is no reason why it cant make 650 - 700hp on e85

[johnbarry88]

it would be good too see both urs and simons skyline head to head man

[r33_racer]

Nice! Thats alot of power for a rwd car! No doubt it will be heaps of fun!

[Dongaz]

to be correctly mod plated it needs to have padding anywhere near where the head can hit.

So if I was to use a metre/(0.9) length from the top of the front legs down to the floor, it obviously won't go the whole way...they won't whinge about that?

And i've found a few different types of padding available...does it have to be a certain thickness to pass?

[GOT04]

the engine is in and received a run in tune.

on 20psi and rev limit set at 7100rpm the car made 492hp on pump.

there are 2 things that need to be changed before it gets a hard pump tune and that is the spring in the waste gate at the moment is a 7psi spring so the car is lazy on to boost, so it will be changed to a 14psi spring so then the car will make a lot more in the mid range and therefore would have more power to build off for the top end so it should make more up top. and the exhaust is all 4 inch but finishes off at 3 inch at the muffler. so a new muffler is needed also.

this engine is made to rev to 8500rpm, i dont think the tuner at mercury motorsport will take it that high just yet but i look forward to seeing what is to come on pump fuel.

That is not a curve is is a vertical line, it will be a wheel spinning monster. Be careful on the pedal champ.

Good to see it running tho, congrats.

[GOT04]

so it got the run in tune last friday and i had power play last saturday, here are some photos from the day at queensland raceway.

i lost 1 race out of the whole day to a spastic evo that mercury motorsport also built, i look forward to a serious tune and full slicks for a rematch hehe

mick

[bigmikespec]

Shit that looks tough!

[FineLine]

Bring it Jay, Bout time you got your arse to time attack mate. Looks Hawt.

[N1GTR]

Looking good so far, the final tune will be a more accurate tale of how it drives

So far it looks like a lot of wheel spin though so it should be fun to keep in a straight line

[32vspec2gtr]

Looks good Jay and good to see whats gone into it so far.

Good to see Tessa and Trent are looking after you well.

By the way, didn't even know you and Tess were on here.

This is Matt with the 32 gtr tess was talking to you about and how i commented on your fb photo lol

Bit random

Sould be good to see what the final power figure turns out to be.
