Feckin sweet build man. wish i had sum money to build sumthing like this

[stewyb]

Josh got the china evo mainfold and i chopped off the head flange and welded a bg one on it was really easy. only problem is the runners are flat not angled up like stock manifold so getting to the starter motor and knock sensor ect is very hard with the manifold on.

Thought id update,

Progress has been slow, the things im buying at the moment soak the cash. Been saving over the last couple of months so i can go full steam at end of jan.

Driveline

Have committed to a PAR dogbox, 1-4 straight cut with synchro 5th for road use and transport style driving.

Found a good deal at HRPworld.com for the tilton twin plate, basically got it for half the price the AUS distributors wanted for it, same product.

Flywheel is still being manufactured by PAR.

Fuelling

Cut a big hole in the back to house a fuel cell, Incorperating a surge tank section and adding or upgrading the fuel pump in order to use E85 fuel. Will prob stick with 2 and run 2 -6 teflon lines down the length of the car.

Need to locate some affordable 1000cc injectors to feed the motor.

Engine

Have the old and new head down at harris, looking at the porting and combustion chamber work in comparison to a relativly stock head looks like we will have some good gains with this head. Will be putting them side by side on the flowbench in the coming weeks to see the gains.

JE pistons, and Supertech oversize valves have arrived. Have Eagle rods here too but deciding weather to ditch them for some Spool rods or use them.

Interior

Have pulled every mm of wire out the car ready for a bare essentials rewire, purchased a new loom for the SM4

Pulled the factory dash out, have completed a plug that incorperates a switch panel and rise for the racepak iq3 dash display. Attempting this dash in carbon/kevlar. See how we go.

So yeh, all things going forward atm, just need the bank account to recover a bit and look at getting it on the road for this seasons time attack. Ive ironed out all the bugs in the first build so i know what to and what not to do this time around.

Still have goals at 420whp/1080ish kg

where did u get those cams and do u have any videos or sound clips of the car ideling

[worldhazard]

freakin aussies... that's all i got to say. i need to send the g/f back there again and have her bring me stuff back this time around...

[Mazda_Powered]

i still like this, anymore pictures? its basically porn for us people on this time zone lol.

[joshg123]

No more pics unfortuantly, gathering parts atm. Just bought another laser 4wd for a profit maker so just saving cash atm.... 5000 for a dogbox takes a bit of extra cash haha.

Ill update once i have the engine built on the stand, should look rather snazzy.

Evo manifold is super easy if you have a horizontal bandsaw and a alloy welder, literally chop the 4g flange off and weld the bp flange on, grind out the ports to suit

Car ran rotational when it had its first tune (320whp)

My comment of 'too fast for the street' remains when it spins all 4 under power as it is, you feel it skating in the rear end... needs race tyres and i need to soften the rear end..... This was the first time i ever drove it hard, and the clutch gave up (hence the current build), you hear it hit limiter in the last run haha

When the loudest thing you hear in the cabin is the fuel pump.....you're doing it right.


Pretty brave of the passenger too

[jay]

Yep, that is *nasty*. Fan-freakin-tastic!

[deathtrigga]

Passenger needs to harden up,

He had no seatbelts either in that run haha!

More i look at that vid, the more eager i am to rebuild the engine and get it back out there. Just want to make use of all the equipment it has, 20psi doesnt do it justice needs 30psi and race fuel to wind it up.

[stewyb]

I dont think we had bolted the passengers seat down at that time josh hehe
