appletree - not dealt with rotrex myself - but heard good things via client - will talk to him about maybe dealing with A-tech on supply - as he is not geared up for retail stuff - they are MUCH more efficient than eatons - but predictably more Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£'s than our eatons oguz327 - got to sort some ...

short fun vid of some early testing still misses on some throttle openings and not really nailing it - but all fun - charlie the dog was not harmed in this footage etc etc

great work - bet you are just itching for that first toe down moment to justify that work

guys update tomorrow - progress is being made - she runs but hunts at 3.5k under load - hopefully addressing/logging tomorrow - when running ok - still makes big boost after 6k - sounds ridiculous to the extent that for low profile with neighbours tomorrow will have to go further afield to do some l...

thanks mark i am sooo excited boring the tits off everyone at work - they are all leaving early with a catatonic expression gotta say dont think it's have half the grunt of your monster -would love to have seen the guy in the scooby after your recent sortie in your e30 :D next steps include a bigger...

ok after a false start in april and well documented bad karma i really dont want to tempt fate BUT - MOT booked for tomorrow am - fingers crossed! winkeye - might be driving it tomorrow - can't wait not driven it yet - and only heard it run via phone - which suggests 98db days are gonna be out of th...

customer had one of their cars smashed up in korea over the weekend - guy drove into him a couple of times in straight - gonna be a re-shell @schnitzers - ouch!

pics below - with the man himself doing some fettling - overhead shot shows depth of i/c - it's big and fits like a glove behind spoiler/bumper assembly and the front rail

guys bigger crank pulley = more/higher boost car was driven over to ants yesterday - good to see A-tech work on bank holidays! car had i/c mounted but we are short of some piping so it's going to get ordered/collected tuesday on the way over - first time the car has run for ages - the newly located ...

karaokebykris - thanks for pic - i have 3 for front so i'll use probably use location in the pic posted by nickso: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/rob89m3/DTM6.jpg shame i don't have the rest of the car to match the bonnet pins on that DTM beast! thanks for your help guys - i am off home to ...

vertical - can you upload a pic of engine bay where you located pins? - fitting mine one night this week - thanks

stunning - remember last year at a donington trackday standing by the pitlane as a guy came past - with that gorgeous induction noise bouncing off the pitwall

- you lucky blighter

think it's a safe place for your dough too - can't see them dropping much and they already have cult status

Ok - we got it running - without pipes - so really just a test of mechanical pulleys/brackets - but it sounds cool! Click below for first run vid (top one on page): http://www.etribes.com/video/gallery/73127 http://www.etribes.com/sites/etribes.com/files/images/68240618_23-03-07_1852.jpg.preview.jpg...

car in the back is an f40 being rebuilt to concours spec

http://www.racecar.net/idler.jpg tensioner pulley just been made - good work david!(Apal) - then gonna be anodised + shaft being made tomorrow - by the end of the week all bracketry will be ready for trial fit to engine in car. once trial fit done on saturday - they will be taken off to be painted/...

put a different pic up - you can see a bit more of cage

http://www.racecar.net/320.jpg Just done some livery work for a client - Team Modena in High Wycombe - who is running this car in Korean GT series this year. If you think you have seen workmanship on a cage - think again - this puppy is a work of art - should kick some rice butt in Korea this year....

Stunning result guys!

- must be a flying machine!

chin up dude - tightening those lovely top bellhousing bolts when it is all in - with that really easy access lol :-x will be a piece of piss after your trials! a job i would rate as desirable as undoing propshaft flange bolts on a muddy surface in the rain - enhanced by a german shepherd who has ju...

andrew

yes i am sure of it they mainly do trick marine engineering proto stuff - but think mike is keen to do more car stuff

if you can send dimensions will help - i'd give mike a call and ask the question - i can say that the workmanship is shit hot!

ross

bottlecape30 - thats a good read on your project - i can see you have the finishing tape in sight - keep it up! first pix of pulleys from MDTS : http://www.etribes.com/sites/etribes.com/files/images/71746423_photo-0014.jpg.preview.jpg http://www.etribes.com/sites/etribes.com/files/images/84063444_ph...

well you are getting some grin factor for the price of a trackday - just don't fall into the trap of pissing loads of Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£'s into it and halfway through forgetting why you bought it in the first place - like me in fact

well - bonnet and pins were something like Ã‚£175+delivery and VAT i have got a 6 pot which is stripped out and there's serious weight @front but fook all at the back well worth it imho - but also doing work on it @moment all the time it seems and being able to whip the bonnet off everytime would ma...

Ã‚£200 - bargain!

yeah that pulls!

- what sort of torque do you guesstimate?!

ok just ordered f/g bonnet with pins from taffy do most of you ditch all brackets and just use pins? does anyone retain existing mounting brackets - and locate pins into these so that you can still use bonnet release mechanism - and so that in the event of a prang the bonnet raises at rear and goes ...

had similar problem: e30 2.7 trackcar - heavily modified e36 m3 evo saloon - stock but biz use caterham 7 with cosworth bdg - heavily modified merc 300 te - stock golf 1.3 - v.stock! was paying serious Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£'s because they were insured with 3 separate co's - and no claims could not be used on al...

this looks like a really good project! - used to have 2002 with a trick M10 with a Heini Mader head/dellorto 48's/wild 310 or something schrick etc - bet the M10 is soo much lighter than M20 and i luv the way your engine is so far back in bulkhead - hurry up and get it finished so we can hear that l...

jk can you email the blower spreadsheet to ross AT racecar DOT co.uk? thanks! we are working on it this afternoon - and trying brackets that have been made on dummy block on car. understand that the blower takes 40hp to run at 12k - so we are keen to make it "stout" - also alternator will be set up/...

guys

any idea on diameter and length if poss? - want to replace with braided hose

thanks ross

yeah to make it worthwhile and justify the low cr build - reasonable boost is expected and the M90 specs mean that with a "little" engine to feed - the blower will not be operating past it's efficiency range - m90 is aimed at 3.0-5.0 lumps and has double the capacity of the m45 which seems to be ok ...

it was v frustrating building a low comp 2.7 with boost in mind and then running it n/a for a year - well ok it's only probably done 3 trackdays! low comp bottom end in this case = m20 block not decked as much as you would for optimum n/a c:r however not sure anyone has used eaton m90 on a m20 yet? ...

ant
thats a good plan! - will try that! it was getting late afternoon on sunday and pubs were beckoning - i'll look at it tonight - phone you later dude
