KE26 Wagon Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Hurry up johnny boi and get it back. Need some other people to take there cars out and do skids Quote
13bke26 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Posted February 12, 2013 another update, whole car is now ready for paint.. Picked up the gearbox from als race glides, found of the converter which was made isnt quite right, the snout that goes over the shaft isnt long enough and the converter bottoms out on the pump before the shaft is all the way in.. now its back at the converter shop getting sorted... as soon as its back and engine bay is painted, it all goes into get running Quote
13bke26 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Posted February 25, 2013 well the engine bay is all painted up now... Back to vis now to get engine back in and get running.. Spoke to the engineer today and he still says he can engineer it.. So hopefully it will hit the road mid year, fingers crossed! Quote
13bke26 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Posted April 13, 2013 small update...engine and box is in, engine bay is looking pretty full up now.. We fired it up for the first time on wednesday and it fired first kick.. Car has now gone back to paint to get the body painted.. Slowly starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now Quote
13bke26 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 bit of an update. car is back in my possession.. have started to put this thing back together. New engine goes totally different and its only on its run in tune. Mounted up a new seat, a simpson harness.. Transbrake is all set up now and works a treat.. Taking it to the dyno on saturday for a few hours to run in and get some kays on it, then off to get tuned on tuesday if all goes well..... Then if there are no problems i may be heading to the track to do some testing 1 Quote
13bke26 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Posted July 20, 2013 went to the dyno yesturday, all went well except for a couple of minor issues which will be sorted before tuesday.. as you can see it is a powerhouse 1 Quote
13bke26 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 Car went on the dyno and made 300hp on 10psi.. Going out on this Saturday to the test and tune to see how it runs Quote
drift freak Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Wow good numbers mate, I might have to get in touch with this Col Potts as I've been told this setup can't be engineered not that this is the way I've gone but a turbo 3SGE beams would be similar engineering requirements. Where abouts is he located?? Quote
13bke26 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 in other news, i went out and raced yesturday... seemed to go a bit slower then before, using the transbrake, all passes were 11.8... its super consistent, but way off where i want it... I want it more closer to the 11.2 range for now.. Car did perform good for its first day out, had a couple little niggly issues and its got a bad vibration now.. Wont be racing till thats fixed and might give it a bit more power as it didnt seem to really get on the converter 1 Quote
