AX JP4 turbo on NOS NOW 6 SPEED

[Peasnall]

thats awesome mate, top job!

[Saxo_theedge]

What a beast, will keep my eye on this

[Mathias]

What turbo is that in the picture??

[Dboyvts]

martin yor nuts that is one hell of a turbo to run on a ax. Like the idea about the rad in the boot you must have no room at all up front since the ax is what 2 " shorter than a saxo.

Always thought mine was a tight fit..

[djrem]

an awesome project. top work!

its a GT30 turbo, not sure if were useing that one now though might come down a size to keep some drivability on the road

[Ryanp]

fantastic to see it coming back together mate

let us know when its done, id like to pop down and have a cheeky look at it

[tweeqd]

im trying to get the shell back on the road just after xmas and its off to the ring in june(with a 1.4 on lots of nos lol)

[tweeqd]

thought id have a change from the norm with the colour of the struts lol
new bearings top and bottom and new 25mm springs

[Ryanp]

even painted the bearing. you must be keen mate

seen the 1.4 motor on RR should be still worth a giggle once its all built up now.

How good are you lot at fabricating seat rails> as i need some asap and for once have a car thats actually on the road that needs em fitting

[VTEC-Saxo]

there being changed anyway for bigger ones to work with the BE, the 1.4 didnt cost me anything so once its back from the ring/le mans im just going to keep upping the nos till it blows lol

[Ryanp]

HAHAHA you grade a Carrot nut job!

are you plannig on doing a track day or 10 next year. A few of us might do a double header of the ring and spa if the time is right.

[tweeqd]

for the 1st time in 2 years ive started putting bits back on to the car
the front suspension is all back on and working with all new bearing and bushes



and the BE hubs are all sorted and brakes back on


there is a little bit of welding needed in the floor wells but its is 17 years old



and something came up very cheap so i wont have to use the 1.4 as a temp engine untill the turbo one is built, should be a laugh with 100bhp nitrous
I DO HAVE TO SAY IM NOT GAY BUT I HAVE GONE 16V (for now it is only temp)

[dannygti]

good stuff there mate, at least your moving forward now..

have you took any dimensions and stuff on the BE conversion? as i might need your service at some point in the future.

[Ryanp]

hahaha now you have gone 16v ill await a 'fuck it im boosting the 16v now '

love the RL7 just randomly popping into the pic on the floor

[sick-Saxo]

loving the Ax mate!

[tweeqd]

spent the day with lucy and its starting to look like a car again

[Sophia_Bush]
