I had the inlet made by a metal fabricator at a place called adage engineering for £150 in coate near devizes in wiltshire, i made a full size mock up out of mdf with everything that i wanted in respect to holes for trumpets and angles etc as it has to clear the bulk head. then he made it and welded it in 4 hours and it was done. bolted it all to the bodies and it fits pefectly.

before the turbo and bits were put on it was doing 150bhp, bear in mind it has no head work or nothing which it could do with to see more power but was gonna go down that road when it breaks as i would have to take it apart anyway. time isnt on my side to take it apart all the time.

The point about the cams makes sense, as it built on a budget its gonna be a case of getting it on the rollers when its mapped and see what it needs, if it needs different cams, injectors etc ill have to get them but i aint prepared to go throw £££££'s at it as it a fun track car. i gonna see how it is when its mapped then get anything its needs after that. im prepared to sacrifice some power rather than spending dollar at the mo as wanna get it running, the car does well anyway with the power it had around the track so this is a experiment/learnig curve too see if we can get the bodies/turbo to work together.

i got some of the white window stickers left bud, 6 i think if you interested as we all got them on our cars when we goto tracks as me and chris help mend a few of our our mates scoobs and other cars. im running ebc grooved and drilled with red stuff all round, the cars so light so it stops well. the whole car is cut to pieces inside so it ways very little.

Chris_429 · 29th December 2009, 10:26

That's awesome - should go a fair bit!

Will be keeping an eye on this.

frankie · 29th December 2009, 10:28

whens it going to mtech for mapping?

might come up for a butchers if you dont mind, their only up the road, and would be great to see this beast

rushy_23 · 29th December 2009, 10:34

Damn!

Car looks to be a great spec, interior is VERY minimalistic. What sort of power does the car make? Hard to get the power down?

Sean_VTS^p · 29th December 2009, 10:46

Looks like an incredible build tbh!

Really impressed!!!

AndySAXO^p · 29th December 2009, 12:09

what suspension set up are you running?

andy

AndySAXO^p · 29th December 2009, 12:13

edit didnt see your post with the spec, how does the spax work on the track, i was using apex and i didnt like them on the track, loving the intertior though!

bet it very very light like that, have you have on a weight brigde or osmething to find the wieght?

but still dont like the look of the management like that seem alittle thrown together with the loom like that

but everything else looks very nice

andy

auds · 29th December 2009, 12:24

Looks awesome

Have you heard of Martin Bowyer, he does mapping etc and is brilliant too, although a little slow lol!!

The spax seem to be good to be fair for what they cost, if anything they feel e little soft but that is good as castle combe is very bumpy and contorey so it allows the suspension to articulate and the wheels to grip even on the bumpy stuff.

The loom adapter is really good to be honest, a lot better that a lot of of the ones i have seen, the main thing is that its out of that way of the cambelt and as its just a click together loom converter it takes seconds to take apart and remove if i need to take it out of the car. For the money the MTECH V4ecu and loom adapter is an absolute bargain, with it being a standalone management ive only got to ring matt and pop the car down and he maps it to anything straight away that i have changed on the engine.

I know some peolpe in the past have had some problems with MTECH but the person that was causing the grief down there has been sacked, im going on my dealings with them and there work for me has been spot on as the car performs perfectly evertime.

AndySAXO^p · 29th December 2009, 16:37

yer i am running the predator which is a driect plug and play and doesnt have that loom off it,

what software do they use? there own? or is a MS or other type of software?

where are they based?

andy

AndySAXO^p · 29th December 2009, 16:38

many thanks

andy
