AX JP4 turbo on NOS NOW 6 SPEED

[Manwhore]

White carbon looks cool brakes are awesome ....I'll get them sent tomorrow

[tweeqd]

Looks like back to the drawing board on the brakes
The will wood setup were bought from manwhore who posted above, the bells, rotors and caliper brackets dont fit so a complete waste of money


Be carefull anyone who buys from him

[Jack-Cooley]

Is that nothing to do with you using the BE hub setup?

were they off a Ford or something daft?

[welshpug]

saw this come past us early on Thursday the 14th as we were trundling down the motorway towards the channel tunnel in the Frontera towing a Red saxo kitcar.

This one



I was on my way to ashford for the saxp ring trip


Was an awesome trip






I stupidly over over adjusted the clutch ans as i didnt get my new rad back from pro alloy untill just before we left it ment i didnt get time to test the car
This ment the clutch was making a noise by the time i got to ashford
My sensible head said go home
So i continued on with the trip and made it to the ring, did 3 laps and on the final corner of lap 3 the clutch let go loosing all drive
The marshals allowed us to push the car off track as we rolled under the gantry lol
So the car spent the day in the car park



My mood on the day was lifted by an 8:30 lap in josh's mental mango

My car was left at the hotel for the week while i got a lift home with ross in the rs4
Then went back the follwing week with a trailer to bring her home

[welshpug]

Thats the one!

[Jack-Cooley]

Aww dissapointed man? Car looks well though

[Duffy Xsi]

Just read this from start to finish. And erm.... Wow. I applaud the work you've done on this. Nothing is done half heartedly at all. I remember the feature in this in Pfc and it's always been a favourite out of all the feature cars. Just amazing. Well done sir.

Cheers duffy

Ive kind of fallen out of love with the car since getting by bike but even though it broke the trip has made me love it again, it handled beter than i thought it would at the ring but did show up how laggy it is
Never been that bothered as its a drag car but over winter it will get a new turbo and exhaust to make it more responsive, then back to germany next year

Little vid chris did on thetrip to the ring

[Duffy Xsi]

Yeah I fell out of low with my pug but I'm gettin the low for it again now. Just need to get my turbo. Just running it on decomp plate and a cast mani. No figure chasing but something that'll give the local honda lads down at our local drag place a shock.

tweeqd, was the bike brake lever conversion for the lift up reverse sucessful?

me and a mate were discussing the 6 speed conversion last night and as i have a satch shift it seems i'd have to do the same as you.

cheers

aidy

[tweeqd]

yes and yes, the bike lever works a treat and cost about £7 from eBay

well got her apart to properly asses the damage from the ring



stripped all the splines clean out of both friction plates, so clutch has gone back to AP for repair

also decided to play with the engine a little while the box was out, this has got a little out of hand lol
a customer was selling his 0 miles engine cheap so i naturally had that off him

brand new woosner pistons 1mm oversize, j4 block bored to match, brand new forged PEC rods

it also came with a balanced crank and heavily ported j4 head with 3 angle valves but ill flog these on


my crank is balanced to my flywheel so swapped that in to the new block


pugsprt sump baffle


blasted mounts back on




new ARP head stud conversion to stop the head lifting with boost and NOS



brand new ACL race spec main and big end bearings


also the powder coating company next to me has just bought an aqua blaster so i got a bit carried away with that lol









while I'm upgrading i thought it would be rude not to look at the turbo, again got carried away so bought this
an Owen developments GT2865HTA billet wheeled turbo


good for 430bhp and will spool 1k rpm earlier than the T34, with the getting carried away I thought if I've gone this far might swell carry on so I've ordered some mechanical spec turbo cat cams, spring, caps, shims and solid lifters.
this will allow me to rev to 8.5-9k RPM :mrgreen:

im also swapping to a 3'' exhaust but there is no room under the car so it will be a single box system exiting out the front where the screamer pipe is, allowing me to run a completely flat floor and rear diffuser

all in all it should see an easy 400bhp (will be pegged at that to try and keep it reliable), the much bigger power band means i can spread the torque so it should be less harsh on the drivetrain, i still the now to put in on top which ill use for the strip but all the other mods should make it a much better road/track car

[sje00]

Always thought this would be a laggy beast with that turbo.
Very good choice with the new turbo. I had a 2868HTA with TiAL .60 housing, was an extremely responsive turbo with the hydraulic Cat Cams I had. Would've easily made 400bhp. My next step is Solid lifters and more revs after a gear kit.

[tweeqd]

yes hoping the 2865hta will be responsive, what rpm did your turbo come in?
I've got my solid lifters and cams on the way so will see what the turbo does at 8.5k lol

[sje00]

There was a graph on here somewhere, it spooled earlier than a GT2860RS and the response of the turbo was pretty much instant. I have Cat Cams Turbo cams (not 735's) and standard size valves with Terry Dolphin headwork. So the head set up was geared for maximum response.
Don't know how big wild cams will effect it though, but Solid lifters and big revs is something I will be interested in.

[tweeqd]

I've gone for sinus valves and the gold spec springs with the mech lifter spec turbo cams so will see how it responds above 9k
I've got a feeling past 8 won't make a diff but as it will safely go past 9 ill give it a go
9k should also make the top speed quite interesting on the 6 speed
