Something a little Different....

Cheers, Yer not many get to this level or have the "whole" package like this IMO

No what you mean no many cars get near this level, I had a lot plan for mine but 200 miles after having the bottom end forged and rebuild etc a conrod let go (was quite torqued up properly) as the guy refused any responsablitly I sold it to a mate for peanuts!

How much more you planning for it? Looks absolutely pucka

I am actually shocked at the attention to detail and the skill involved in this build everything has been done to such a high quality. Your a legend mate

Ah thats never good....

Is respect of planning... more headwork get more power, then use and enjoy.... until winter would like to cage (properly weld in)

Got a few more bits done...

First off modified the rocker cover to take -8 for the catch tank and the small breather will be blocked

Then on to my lockable aero catches what a pain in the ass to do....

Getting there slowely

Mike popped round to make the oil cooler lines too Top job thankyou...

Picking up the intercooler pipes from welding Monday and Steve @ GWR Motorsport is coming around Wednesday to measure the loom up

 

[Dale!]

Been getting on with few more bits

Got parts back from welding

Pre cooler intake temp sensor boss and DV take off

Shortened Brackets on baileys coolant tank

Also got small breather blocked on rocker and -8 fitting welded on for catch tank

Checking fitment

Getting there

Made new adapter for EGT boss as I wasn't happy with first one....

Steve made new earth for the alternator

Mounted the Map sensor up out of the way

Mounted ignition amplifier, ground paint underneath and used heat sink bonding paste to create good connection.

Mounted boost controller solenoid valve

Mounted Batter + joining post

 

[Dale!]

Engine earth and alternator earth

Fitted battery + and - and plumbed in

All hidden and where it comes out

Fitted EGT sensor and loom

Fitted fuel pump wiring loom

New vaccum take off from TB, which was the old air temp sensor

Thats all for now, the engine loom is currently being made

 

[Dale!]

On to making the engine loom After measuring the loom up Steve came up with this..

Then started...

And you end up with this at present 95% done....

The "main man"

Then it was time to test the M400 and CDL3, setup on the bench...

Plan is to get him up and running over the jubilee bank holiday weekend as he is booked for mot Wednesday.

I thought I would clean a spare rocker cover out and have it sprayed as mine always had a chip in it..

With breather plate removed

Plate refitted

SBD breather mod swapped over from last one

Had it painted in white with breather to sump done black (all cleaning was done after spraying ensuring all the crap was removed...

-8 tank of for catch tank

Last few bits turned up from Roose motorsport, vacuum hose with internal diameter of 6mm (external waste gate, DV) 4mm internal diameter vacuum hose, 13mm internal diameter hose for "Mod" to the inlet as seen in previous posts!

Busy weekend ahead as all my powdercoating is now done, picking that all up tomorrow

 

[Dale!]

Been working flat out recently probably doesn't look alot but its so close now

Picked my last parts up from powdercoating. Shafts with some new CV's. Built them up and fitted and fitted my new knuckles with VW/Audi wheel bearings (No pictures, shocking I know)

Steve finished off the dashboard loom

Made nylon spaces for the dash to be mounted

Added felt tape to the inside of the carbon not to vibrate

Fitted to see how it looks with trim surround

Plugged to and powered up to test, Screen needs to be setup to display all features still

Then got onto fitted the engine loom, mounted the fan fuses and relays out the way

A few snaps, we tried to hide as much as possible within reason!

Baffled catch tank with -8 fittings

Mounted

How the line will go, need to order 90 swept for the catch tank

How I left it, ready to turn over tomorrow to get oil around and do setup for starting....

are you an airplane engineer or something? impressive work

 

[Dale!]

are you an airplane engineer or something? impressive work

Lol what makes you say that? I work for BMW as a technician. Thankyou

 

[Dale!]

Been mental couple of days.... I rebuilt the front end, wings and bumper. My current bumper I ruined cutting to far but i fitted to get me for mot tomorrow.

Made a temp catch tank put wire wool in there to help

Time for some gearbox oil would been easier to do this before oil cooler was fitted but oh well

Tool for the job

Fitted gps wiring for dash, gps was hiden under boot carpet

Tapped into dimmer switch for dash to dim with interior illumination

Steve came over we sorting timing etc, cranked with plugs out to check good oil pressure with fuel disconnected. Then primed the fuel system to check for leaks, all was good! This was also done with feed disconnected at rail to check lines were clear! There was also lots more calibration but I will be here forever writing about it....

Before start up safety first...

little shot of the laptop checking the whats been logged after the car had been run for a bit, it took a long time tinkering etc...

Another shot of dash with car running

then once everything was double checked it was off for quick lap round the block just checking it was safe to drive to mot station tomorrow, few tweaks here and there and now he is ready for tomorrow...

Still along way off but its a positive step....

i cant really put into words how impressed i am with this car it was a weapon when i seen it in south wales a few months back parked next to a baby blue rx7, my mate was on mig web and kept pointing me to it and as coincidence he met you while i was chatting to robbie at a rolling road day @got boost small world eh!

how much power you going to put through it? a mate of mine is building a 500hp nova and myself think its wasted power as it'll never grip id rather it about 330-350 with good trackability and road legal to scare those evo boys

Cheers yer it was 301 hp then. Thats was a long time ago @ got boost lol that was back when i had ronnie I think or monty was 2.0 non turbo!

Not going near 500 well no plans, I agree but its how its mapped and how you set it up.... Whats the point of having a super low car with high HP?? the car has multi map to so will run to different maps! It used to scare evo boys before....

 

[Dale!]

More work on him once again....

First off, out the garage for for some fresh air

Then MOT time....

After that tracking was done to get me to PVS, will have proper setup/corner weight once he is back!

Then I headed back to steve's unit, we checked the base map at various RPM/Manifold pressure on several roads, once steve was happy we put 4k rpm limit and 6psi boost limit as above to get me to pvs and owen developments for mapping

Once this was done, back onto finishing the dash

How it looked in it current state..

Next was to fit the shift light module, spacers were made to mount it

Drilled the dash for "display controls" - "green" goes through menus, "red" accepts warnings and communication port for dash!

Drilled the dash for "ecu controls" - communication port, Traction control rate switch, Traction control on/off switch, High and low boost settings

Rebuilt dash with shift lights and leds for indicator left/right, ign light, handbrake light, rear fog light and main beam.

Parts turned up to fit my catch tank

Fitted some heat matting under the bonnet as the manifold gets nice and warm

Now after ruining my other bumper it was time to cut the new one, function over form now with cooling..... the end result might not be to everyones taste....

Also done the ducting to the oil cooler note the wonky screws oh well....

Finally a little video of shift lights and dash...
