congrates on the build.

Do you think you might do a wiretuck or a tubetuck in the future to tidy up the engine bay a bit more?

haha yes, it's very messy at the moment, it was all hooked up to get it running, i dont plan to keep it looking like sphagetti bolognaise no

Thats very very very nice, look forward to seeing this next gt4 meet

updated photo, a bit tidier now, also got a new bonnet vent shield custom made its really cool maybe might give some people a few ideas i'll take a photo when its daylight.

Hi Mike,

great built, does i ask you where you connected the header tank and from where the breathing tank comes from?

greetz

niice stuff mike

Hi Sunny, I have -4 AN welded on the top of the water outlet elbow to feed the header tank, and -6 AN return to the bottom hose. The header tank is also fed by -4 AN from the old radiator overflow. The breather tank is -10AN and the rocker cover was stripped of PCV valve and metal press-in fitting replaced by weld-in bungs. Both tanks are custom made





Here are some pictures of the shield, it needs some bufffing and some autosol, just made of alloy







Reason for this, my manifold sits higher than the factory manifold, and the cardboard shield almost caught fire

+ the rain water pools up in the manifold and causes rust to it and the turbo, etc

Nice shield I'd like to make something similar soon. Though I've heard multiple times that a little rain through the vent won't cause rust, I'm skeptical. Plus there's only a BEAMS under my hood, so no need for the extra ventilation. I can't say that my shield will look as nice as yours though.

my stainless steel mani rusted from water aswell

It is a very simple design , I poked the grill into a piece of cardboard to get the mounting holes right and traced the outline then trimmed it back to 10mm of the mounting holes, transfer template to sheet of aluminium. Then just 2 slits in the middle, bend it back and weld 2 triangle pieces , its good to have an engineer who's good with the tig

nice design on that water drainer. what happened to your oem piece. it does exactly the same thing...

Fire is not generally desirable

Great thread Mike and really nice engine bay.

Hi,

thanks, but why do you close the bonnet air escape?

greetz

I suppose I've never shown my battery to boot relocation, please excuse my lack of boot vacuuming











i remember having special rods made up where one end was died M6 and the other end was tapped M6, there is 2 M6 nuts tacked to the floor of my boot that these rods screw into,

and then my bling alloy battery holder can be screwed in with SS cap screws ;D was just a special touch, if only my sh*t as wiring could be improved to do the photo justice ;/

Been a while since my last update,

Lately I've just been fixing up a few loose ends, deleted AC, finished water spray and tidied up a few wires and hoses














VIDEO:

Clean and mean, very impressive.

great to see some more work coming out of this thread

With your intercooler sprayers, is it possible to adjust them to get a more atomised & wider range spray coming out?


Also hought about swapping to the ST202 (I'm pretty sure it was that one) throttle cable for shorter length?

curious as to why you didnt upgrade the cams or do a mild regrind on them?

Hi, guess that's a future consideration , and ultimately the gen4 motor is the one to get. The main idea of this car is the low down torque, so I kept a stock head , you see unlike the ct turbos, this 28rs doesn't trail off at 6000 anyways. I do understand there's huge gains to be had though
