have been busy with it, have a water/meth set up on it and bumped the boost up a bit







results so far



fitted a SPOOLINUP COP kit



also got a VII rocker cover and painted it marble blue



moved the battery to the boot, had a underdrive alt pulley made as you can't buy the pulley by it's self underdriven.





new catch can fabricated



fitting welded to sump for drainback when racing





current engine bay photo, I also wrapped the UICP to stop heat soak from the radiator fan blowing hot air on them it has stabilised the IATs alot and dropped them by about 10 deg C through out the range with power runs being between 6-8 deg C above ambient at 29psi.



Bridgestone RE55s fitted as I am prepping it for track work



it is curently at the suspension place getting corner weighted and offset caster bushes fitted to the front and a track alignment.

Looks good man! Have you considered putting Brembo's on it? It was a cheap and easy upgrade that made alot of difference for me.

Yeah my track wheels won't fit brembo's but my new street wheels will might look into it in the future, got some ENKEI SC 24 and some cheap 225/45 tyres as the camber will chew them out and I don't want to be spending 100s on replacing them





fitted the eliptech shiftlite

motor is out after wrist pin failure, not impressed with this as it wasn't making that much power, pistons are manley sport comps



so far I have got for the rebuild

ARD forged knife edged crank



FP HTA GREEN turbo w/ 25psi actuator, 1450cc FIC injectors for E85, balance shaft removal kit, windage tray and crank scraper, and new lifters will wait and see what manley have to say about the pin failure but will most probably be getting WISECO HD pistons this time.

I have got a Evo IX oil cooler to replace the VII one I had prev



just fits



Also got some Aero latches and fitted them



hoping to be back on the road early next year all things going to plan
