James' LCR - 2008cc Stroker HTA GT3071r! - Tuned @ Badger5

[james.l]

Got the car booked in at Badger5 for the 9th of March. It's going to be a painfull 3 weeks having the car sitting in my garage and not having it done but Bill is a busy fellow and can't squeeze me in any sooner.

He is going to be making me up an intake pipe in 3.5" with RS4 MAF housing. A 3" downpipe with external wastegate routing and charge pipe suitable to mate to the OEM pipework. There are a few smaller bits that he is going to do as well that need doing to get it finished.

Got to get the car on the back of a flatbed truck as it can't be driven at the moment.

Had a delivery from INA yesterday, 2.0 coils, coil adapters & Intake mani spacer. Thanks Issam

Really looking forward to getting the car finished and hopefully this trip to bills will see it back on the road in all it's glory. I will hopefully nab the number 1 spot on the rollers too

Is bill mapping the car aswell?

 

[james.l]

yes

 

[Berg]

Sweet be interested to see the figures after mapping

 

[james.l]

yer i'm looking forward to it.

Well it's been nearly a week since my last update and sadly I don't have much to report.

Done a few small jobs, filled the gearbox with oil, aligned the gearbox linkage, installed the throttle body to the SEM and the SEM to the head.

That is about it for now. Isn't a lot more to do apart from put the plugs and 2.0 coils on when the plugs arrive. Only other job i've got to do is to install the inline fuel pump and put the front bumper back on and she will be ready for the 9th of March for the trip to bills.

It's going to be a boring couple of weeks for me as I won't have much to do on the car, I might try and get the car out of the garage and push it onto the drive to give it a wash before going up to bills apart from that it's a waiting game

Will get a few pics up of the engine bay as it stands later...

Any estimates on what your hoping to hit power wise?

450 - 500 is going to be achievable. Nearer the higher end of that bracket, I know so many people say they're not chasing number and i'm not really but I would like to make nearer the 500 mark.

I hear what your saying, it's obviously more about how it runs and the power curve etc but still nice to have some expectation on top end numbers. Looking forward to the update once its all set up, going to be a mad drive from Bills I'm guessing

 

[t0m]

Get my PM James?

It's going to be epic mate, I'm actually quite nervous about it...

 

[james.l]

Get my PM James?

I did mate, will reply shortly. haven't been on much recently.

 

[t0m]

Ok mate no probs.

4-500bhp is going to be insane in an LCR lol

 

[james.l]

yer mate, it's going to be pretty rapid....

 

[ben450]

Fook thats gonna be like **** of a well oiled shovel

 

[underpressure]

James i measured the OD of the RS4 MAF today. There are exactly 92mm on both sides.
