Update 30-10-14

So the block has now been cleaned, bored 86.5, decked & honed.

Then painted with a heat temp paint.

The flywheel, crank, rods, pistons & alloy crank pulley are due back tomorrow from being balanced







Cheers Craig

Hi All,

Bottom end has moved on a wee bit further, Pistons in place.

Nice

[CRAIGROBBO]

Hi All,

That's the short block all completed and sealed up - Next week the head will be checked over and fitted. Once in the bay the oil filter will be relocated to the bulk head to reduce heat from the down pipe & screamer pipe.





Things to get ordered this weekend:

Syvecs command switch
Syvecs clutch switch

Might also buy the Syvecs fuel flex unit

Cheers Craig

I know they're a bit pricey, but have you looked at the Syvecs Toucan?

Ashley,

At the minute I have a set of SARD 850cc injectors but not sure if I might go 1000cc yet??

Sorry

I was going to get one, but decided to take an alternative route, mainly due to features per £.

[ashley]

If you're planning on running high power on E85 you may want to rethink that, from the little I know E85 requires significantly higher fuel volumes to be injected...some research required

Engine is looking good. I've having my block painted in the same colour/paint.

[CRAIGROBBO]

Hi all,

Little update - Head gasket arrived so head could be put in place which has been re-shimmed while waiting on the gasket arriving... getting closer by the day

Syvecs clutch & cal switch also arrived.









Cheers Craig

Manifold, Turbo, Downpipe, Wastegate & Screamer Pipe all dry fitted until gasket kit arrives.




Cheers Craig

Hi All,

Cant believe its been over 15 Weeks since my last update.....

Time is just flying by and the car has been off the road now for 16 Months.

Last spoke with Peter on March 26th and the aim was to her back up and running end of April so fingers crossed we shouldn't have much longer to go.

Got a few events planned for May and a popular car mag wants to do a feature so really eager to get her back to have the body work all tidied up rear diffuser to custom fit along with Daie MS front lip...

Cheers Craig....

[CRAIGROBBO]

Hi All,

So hoping to hear this week about the car, Hopefully nearing completion as the summer is approaching fast and lots planned with the car!

Will update once iv heard some news....

Cheers Craig
