What he said! :smile:

Still looking good though, yours is definately my fave of all the local WR blue newages! :10:

Love it tim, I too would get the ends painted at some point. :10:

Your car is really looking the dogs mate! :cool:

You are doing some good work with it mate, looking forward to seeing that on the German roads :drive:

thanks chaps....cant wait for germany!

Its taking to long to come around :)

Looks good but YEP...your running out of things to do to it........that will only lead to that big spend at API.

there will always be things to do...that is the beauty/downside of these cars:brickwall:

I did try to see if a bigger filter would fit but thought that would be enough lol

Missing my car already and I only dropped it off yesterday at TFS in surrey

to save you asking its having the following...

2.1 upgrade (arp head studs,mahle pistons, h beam rods etc)
Cosworth baffle plate
cosworth gaskets
cosworth timing belt
Rcm oil pump
new water pump
Ap Clutch
Catch can
Oil cooler
Sc50 billet turbo
Syvecs by Simon
parallel fuel rails/fpr
800cc inj's
Group N engine/gearbox mounts

then its at least 500 running in miles and then the rollers:???:

I bet you can't wait now mate.

A good running in trip is down to the Services just outside dover (Shell) where we meet up for the Ferry, on the M20 and then coming home on the A Roads via Hastings. It rack the miles up and gives you loads of different scenarios, gear changes and rev ranges. :ok:

Nice spec :ok: give that front mount a good working :-D

good idea that although stew recommended as little motorways as poss and the varied driving that you mention too:ok:

It was the last bit of the running in process for me, I had 400+ miles on the clock before setting out.

I did it at night too, with an empty motorway so you could speed up, slow down, start to put a teeny bit of boost through it and raise the rev range just a smidge. By that, I mean going up to 5000 3 or 4 times instead of holding it at 4000 all the way.

There are so many theories on what you should or shouldn't do. Some say that keeping it too low glazes the bores. Some say you should get a bit of boost through it.

I will never forget getting mine up to SRR for Simon to start the process, after pretty much nursing it through the run in. He then gets it on the rollers and canes the back out of it :shock: And just looks over with a knowing grin and says "don't worry..... it'll be fine" :mrgreen:

I must admit its the running in I fear most...as its on my back if it breaks!

mate it wont break we all know it will be ran in carefully and time will go quickly you know where i am if you need company on the running in as i wont be going anywhere for sometime

ah yes of course.....day trip for breakfast in dover then!

Gonna be a long 3 weeks mate, but will be well worth it. :smile:

oh yes like that idea now im sure we can tour the garages of the south east too !! lol

I drove to lands end to run in a mates Skyline and Yeovil for the trooper

Convoy :norty:

would think yours would be done and run in by the time tim gets his back :ok:

Tim,

If you're selling the APS for a decent price met me know as I'm not sure mine is 100% and I should be able to fit yours with too much of a map tweak! I need to get my new fuel rails plus FRP and 650s fitted anyway!

Progress at last......

Been waiting on some Pistons from the states as the ones that arrived weren't the correct grade...in the end the engineer had some slightly bigger ones just sitting there:deadhorse: so its now being put together by Stew and the engine capacity will be slightly bigger than 2.1 now:norty:

I asked him to take a couple of pics as he goes so apologise for the quality but you get the idea!

In the final stages now....I am hoping/praying to pick up early next week.....chomping at bit now:drumroll:

That turbo looks HUGE

Thats what Stew said...and he's seen a few!:mrgreen:

What is it?

What he said!

Is there a plane missing a part somewhere?

Scooby clinic billet sc50

Nice :cool:

What kind of figures you hoping for at the end of all this Tim?

hmmm nice :doubleup:

I dont know... I change my inlet manifold to blue to be different and then another pops up a month later ;)

Looking good Tim... Im guessing the size of the turbo is the reason SC said it might be slightly laggy on a 2.1

At least 480 would be nice but these turbos are capable of more as I understand

I assume so James too, but hey I'll just have to change down a gear then wheyhey!

One mans lag is anothers spool ;)

Im sure it will be fine :)

Nice :ok:

That Sc50 shouldn't be laggy on a 2.1 & a bit. BB + billet should spool very well.
Unless it's single scroll ? I take it the 50 part means 500bhp :twisted:

Yup....I think I read somewhere that 550 is possible but I would be over the moon with 500 tbho;-)

What size injectors have you got for this tubby? fuel pump & so on? :drive:

His is single scroll Nige

Ahhhh join the lag school of gear changes my friend. I think i might be changing my tubby after the Ring & i'm twinscroll. :drive:
