Building to return to Hillclimbing

[suzukigsxr]

Was a basic road going car, made a few changes and added a few bits with the intention of getting back Sprinting and Hillclimbing.
Here are some pics, your comments would be gratefully received

Just waiting for a cage to come from Italy, a 19 point weld in jobby, and just waiting for the Gaz coilovers to arrive with adjustable TCA's,
Oh and my Ebay Bargain
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/c0ssy/CIMG1799.jpg
£20

Should be a bit quicker than standard and hold the road a bit better

Couriers has lost my cage, so I will have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks for another one to be made in Italy
What a pain in the arse. So all on hold until that comes

[suzukigsxr]

Out of interest, would you mind saying how much the cage cost.

[suzukigsxr]

£600

[suzukigsxr]

here is the power curve, 200BHP increase between 4800 and 5600 revs on 95 Ron

Diff cooler fitted aswell
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/c0ssy/white%20trackcar/CIMG1952.jpg

added a few more bits and sealed the tank and pumps in aswell, car is now taxed and MOT'd and I am having fun trying to keep it in a straight line when the boost comes in

[tom burgess]

nice:cool:sounds like fun on the road too:D

[david_white]

Gorgeous car mate, thats gonna be loads of fun with that power. :cool:

Cage looks good too, looking forward to seeing it all finished popcorn:

[suzukigsxr]

All finished and ragging it around now
A pair of rears lasted 2 tanks of fuel (12 gallon tank)
No speedo so I don't know the mileage, around 120miles I would guess

cant wait to see a video of the car should sound awesome with that exhaust manifold well i think it should

[suzukigsxr]

Been invited to Ford Fair by Simon at Fast Ford
So it will be there

[zoso11]

awsome looking work there. kept me awake on my night shift that did!!

Glad to be of service hahahahaha

[suzukigsxr]

Check this months Fast Ford for the write up on it

[stan]

Excuse my lack of no how ?
that plenum,how does that work ? would it be suitable for a aspirated cosworth motor for road use ?

FAB looking car ,a credit to ya.

you could, but atmo engines and hot cams dont like plenums, so you would have to keep the cams mild,
i would of thought that a normal dcoe manifold and throttle bodies would be better and cheaper

[4parajon]

Gorgeous car mate:thumb:
Can you enlighten me as to why you decided to get your cage from Italy as I would have thought it would be quicker and cheaper to get it from one of the many cage makers in the UK:confused:

[suzukigsxr]

I wanted Sparco Cage as I have had a bad experience with Safety Devices. £600 for a multi point quality cage or £900+ for a locally built. They come from Italy to Silvertstone.
Plenum allows better airflow with no elbows or corners to slow the airspeed down, not much good for an Atmo motor. I ran my Atmo YB on DCOE SP50's.

[twin40s]

exhaust manifold is the nuts :drool:
where did you get it??
and if u dont mind me asking how much...

[graham bahr]

i've seen those manifolds on ebay, they look very nice, not sure they give any more power though as they look like a straight copy in stainless of a std 2wd manifold

[david_white]

Watching this car with interest, got any more pics of it? :cool:

[mista weava]

Great car - stickers always help

:D

thats one peaky power output you have there! turbo must be laggy as fook! :D

[suzukigsxr]

Stainless manifold is a copy off Ebay, by some shower, cant remember their name, flanges were made of too thin material and kept warping after high boost runs so I had to tig weld the two parts together to keep it gas tight. Advantage with the manifold is the whole manifold weighs less the the small part of the original cast item. I think it was around £75 which was about £30 too much for the quality.

Yes the motor is very laggy and would like to sort anti lag out as the Autronics ECU is already equipped for it. That will be the more or less sandard head and throats with BD16 cams.

Car is in the workshop up on stands at the mo doing some work to the rear beam so no pics at the mo, it will be out again around April/May for lots of track time and perhaps a few hill Climbs/Sprints

[mista weava]

I ran autronics on an evo 5 and it was the nuts.

just get Mark Shead to map it!

[cr500dom]

Nice car :thumb:

Your shiny exhaust manifold wont be helping your Lag though ...

Tubular manifolds shed loads of heat (energy out of the charge), you`d find it better with teh standard one on there or ceramic coat the pretty one inside to keep the energy in the pipe

[suzukigsxr]

The exhaust manifold is heat wrapped very well as the heat it lets out ate 2 altenators even with drop brackets and heat shield. The saving in weight over the standard cast manifold is worth using it to be honest. Even with all the problems it has given me.

Bought ECU off Mark and got Rob @ SCC to map it for me, he was impressed with the torque. Car is having new beam and arms at the mo money permitting, sticking with analogue gauges and not going for a Stack, I think antilag will have to wait until next year now. Spent long enough building it so just want to clean up the rear end and get it back on the road for some "burn up boy racer" fun
