Looking good!

 

Very nice IV. Very clean for its age.

 

cheers guys

 

got some rather worn stocko pads on it atm, just took it for a lap around the block, once they settled in my first impressions are it pulls up harder with less pedal effort.

took a bit of fiddling to get em to sit nice, had to move the backing plates as it made them sit wrong, but all good now.



Going to get some other 2nd hand pads this weekend with a bit more meat on em, but yeah very happy

 

6 point cage fitted





had to remove A pillar trims so put the gauges down near the shifter



got some Hankook Z221 softs for the Nats coming up in August



have fitted a Turbosmart actuator which holds boost a lot better that the original one



have got the boost pretty well sorted now, turbo failed some time ago and is running fine with the HD thrust now fitted to it, now also running United E85 pump fuel

3rd gear VDR run

 

made it to the local track, Queensland Raceway for a sprint session, was pouring down rain early in the morning and for the first session so it was a bit skatey, the wing was working awesome, by the 3rd a half decent dry line was developing and by then I had first outright for the day, last session 2nd lap my motor cried enough and kicked a rod out (SCAT H beam) and caught fire so luckily I put my extinguishers to good use and saved the car from a fiery death, my mate pipped me at the line by 3 tenths so 2nd outright (39 entrants) was the result, so anyway next motor will be a 2.4 with,

MAGNUS I beam long rods
WISECO HD pistons
OEM crank
GSC R2 cams and springs
GTPumps 762 turbo
5ltr surge tank with twin 044 pumps

in the wet, and doing a bit of off road









motor KO











2.4 purchased



stripped and setting up block, breather fitted





new turbo

pic from GTPumps

 

my best lap of the day 59.09 was still patchy damp in the esses so I took it easy

 

upgrading all the fuel system etc to support the 2.4

5ltr surge and twin 044



PLAZMAMAN LICP



ported the outlet to match the turbo



AN-10 fuel line to front, will split to 2x-6 to the fuel rail



trial fitting the parts



motor will have

GSC R2 cams w/ 5041 springs
Kiggly HLA
WISECO 9:1 HD pistons
MAGNUS 156mm I beam steel rods
triple crank scraper
RACE FAB sump
GTPumps 762GTP turbo
FULL RACE manifold

will be running on E85 2 tunes at 26/35psi should go about 550-600whp on 35psi

 

sucks about the motor but that's a mighty fine looking iv

 

Very nice Jase, it's coming along!

 

lol hows it going Tim yeah getting bits as I can just gotta get some motor parts now

 

Nice one, those magnus (R&R) I beams look great, should hold up well. Going to be very quick with that much power in such a light car. Hope I can see it in action at the next nats

 

yeah that is the plan, hoping to do a few time attack days prior to get it fully dialed in, it certainly went well at QR so hopefully handling wise it is nearly there, it is not that light either 1340kgs with the cage and me in it

 

Well that's about 40kg lighter than mine without me in it, if someone dumped 120kg in your back seat you'd feel it for sure. Keep the updates coming

 

decided to trail fit the motor today to check for things not quite right, luckily I did....

dump is a bit close to the PLAZMAMAN hot side piping



fuel lines done





bit of a tight squeeze
