WHTBIX...Updated **56K Warning**
Boost1n-Et, i think they are nexen or something like that. Ill confirm.
Well, did some more tonight and i finaly feel like its getting somewhere. The bog is starting to get applied. There is a fair bit of work to do because the room rippled when i welded the rust holes up. Ive worked out where the coolers going so now its just a matter of doing the stainless/alloy pipework. Here is a coulpe more photos, and ill take some more of the shock towers to show how to relocate the dampers inboard 10mm.
Note the welded seams, wanted it to be a smooth contour
The reason for the 90degree alloy bends is due to the lack of room for the reducer hoses
The ripples in the roof all bogged up
Till next time

With exam for uni fast approaching, the build slowed dow some what. More bog onto the car, with more sanding came more small rust holes that needed to be welded.
So not alot has been happening. Bought a head unit, going to run some splits on the front a couple of amps, rewire all of the internal electrics (very messy at the moment), wire in a new alarm, a few more mods on the rear suspension/getting the 17's to fit nicer, turn up some thinner spacers.
Then get the cooler hooked up. I think the rest of the bogging/sanding could be done in a day or two, then itl be time to spray. Hopefully it should be completed in about 6 weeks.....I HOPE.

Headunit arrived, and am ordering a black widow alarm off ebay tonight. Ive turned into a bit of an ebay whore. haha.
Only six more days until the work begins again, and to tell you the truth, the old man cant wait...not to get the car done, but to get it out of the garage. So the vee can get back in!!!
If anyone has a spare cam gear lying around, pleeeeaaaassseeee let me know and a price as well, im going to make a couple of adjustable ones, maybe for sale later on if it works well.
Cheers,
Kris

What do you think?
I think the car is sweet,good reliable ET turbo....though i noticed something in your pic,that looked like it can get modified,and get better airflow through the runners.... CHOP the plenum off,USE the import runners (with a little porting),and MAKE a custom chamber...??? just an ideaWXTBIX wrote:Name: Kris

EXAM ARE OVER FINALLY!!!!!! FOREVER
Well after a long delay away from the car with uni exams/assignments comming out of my arse, i finally got back into working on the car. The car is getting increasingly closer to be primed and the doors are really the only panels that need to be finished (small dints to fill and some panel beating)
The cooler is mounted...I picked up the top mounts off the bonnet latch bolt holes, and thats come up nice. So once i finish the second reducer, and modify the endtanks, i can weld it all up and then all that is left is the stainless cooler piping (still need ss filler rod!!!)
The gear shifter is still to be lengthened by 20mm, but ill check if it is going to hit the exhaust, i think this was a problem for someone else?
Also, has anyone fitted 6.5" speakers to the rear, where the original 4' ones were, Can it be done, and how did it / would it sound?
Im also replacing all of the speaker wiring, and tidying up the majority of wires with some condut.
Ill post some more pics soon...
Cheers

Hurls,
I havnt had the car dyno'd yet. I am getting a stage 4-5 cam done and have a spare head im going to port n' polish, bigger valves etc. Once thats on the car, and a larger fuel pump ill dyno it. I am looking for around 180-200kw at the wheels. So far i havnt seen anyone pull big power out of a stroker engine. With the current nakeup of my engine i would expect 160-170kw on about 16psi.
If anyone has dynod a stroker, with a larger turbo, let me know.
Cheers
