SaxoMuffin's Awesome Throttle Bodied 8V.....Bodies and Suspension Fitted and Collected..But There's Problem's...19/05 - Page 14 - Saxperience

Ah right, I always wondered why there was never any decent mani's for the 98 vtr as the port spacing on that looks alot more suited than the 90 vtr's from the outside at least, can't comment on the angles in the head as I can't remember lol

How much are they planning on selling the mani for? Same as the other 8v one?

Can't wait to see this come together!!!

Have to get it on the k-tech dyno when it's done!

Yeah the port spacing and design is ALOT better than the earlier engines only downside is the roller rocker type head. but this isn't an issue to be honest I can get head work later on to get this improved

Yeah the same prices as the existing kit £550 is what i paid in total (excluding the bodies themself)

Which for what they are is a bargain in my eyes....

Cheers dude, it's getting so close now I have all the parts sitting at home (apart from the filter) so I'll take some funky pics later to get the thread updated. I'm going to take the car of the road to a month or two in October to get it all fitted along with the cage which is jizz material on it's own lol....

Yeah I still want to get it dyno'd before I change anything to get a base figure...

Also I may fit the cam next week as I have a week off because I'm impaitent then closer to October it'll purely be the bodies and ecu

Sounds sweet!!

Whilst the heads off you could port match the inlet to the head? Every little bit helps

Well........

This is were things can really turn fun lol....

I'm on the look out for a second hand head in 'decent' condition and I'm going to give it to a my brothers old lecturer at college (he studied motorsport engineering) and he is going to have a little play

raunchz · 11th August 2010, 13:27

Beadwork would finish this off!!

100% get some done, whack a cam in, port match it and enjoy the results!!!

Yeah it's just sourcing a 'decent' one is annoying and plus I'll have to wait until September ish to buy it do to all the parts ive just bought and the cage ....

but definitely by 2011 the car will be done (well the throttle body side of things lol still a lot left lol)...

Yeah imagine then when your knackered and driving home at like 1 in the morning not cool.. lol

Hopefully I'll be sorting it at the weekend and yeah the rain stuff is awesome but like I said so distracting ... because you try and let lots of water go when your stationary and you can hardly see out but you drive off and its like woooossshhhh its gone! lol....

thats looks naughty

Wayne · 16th August 2010, 20:13

Nice load of goodies Wes

bodies look superb

can't wait till everything is fitted

The_Notorious_C_A_T · 16th August 2010, 20:44

Looks shit mate, may as well sell it all

Shame there aint a plug and play for the 3 plug yet, would save a good bit of cost with the wiring of the ecu.

Good to see someone doing it to a vtr as well, always fancied a vtr on bodies, as it aint all about horse power. Smiles per hour not miles per hour

filth

Cheers Wayne, yeah it's all coming along slowly but surely the car will be off the road in October for a month or so to get the bodies and cage fitted with some other bodywork done

Lol fancy buying then

Yeah I was hoping the Predator would be done in time but nope so the omex may work out for the better if the build does change over time

Thanks though, at least someone appreciates it being done on an 8v, as thats the exact reason I drive a car to enjoy it and it doesn't have to be silly power for the sheer fun you can have even with 8 valves..

Stuff look mint, i agree too with all the work being done to a 8v. You going for a shorter box too?

Mathias · 17th August 2010, 20:30

Looking quality mate, nice to see another tuned 8v

Should be worth it with everything fitted

dibs on a spin in this once done

i like to see 8v's tuned something you don't see to often.
