NitroDann's Long Awaited Garage Thread

Postby **NitroDann** » Tue Feb 12, 2013 8:00 pm

Heres today's work.

Only Trackspeeds best. Everything is milled and gasket free.

Getting the water and oil lines sorted, its has oil lines that are 2 layer, with the outside being a heat resistant silicone, then it has heat wrap that is the fibreglass on the inside, some super high temp polymer on the outside kind.

Heres just a bunch of pics of the completed setup.

Built a wastegate bracket from stainless, I was going to weld alloy bosses onto the turbo but got lazy.

Just a couple to show just how tucked up that exhaust actually is.

So anyways, I gave it back to him this arvo.

It starts, it runs, its goes, Zoooooo-TUTUTUTUTUTUTUTooo when you rev it. All the good stuff you know.

Im very happy with how the water lines, the brace and the oil feed interact.
not sure how it translates into photos but in person its very neat.

Couple of bits to do still, TPS for MS2's EBC, fix the bov /IWG vacuum tubes etc, but it should hit the dyno this week or next.

Im waiting for a single flange for a manifold and the only other thing then is the BIG FAT BORG!

Ok here are the aero results., not QUITE finished but a good effort for one day I think.

The car has a garage Vary lip but not anymore.

Angle grinder.

Rivnuts (nutserts) and flush allen key hardware, 10.9 tensile.

Using a pair of factory M6 threads and another 2 rivnuts in the subframe.

Rough cut 1/2" ply.

I weight 100kg and you can stand on the mofo, and even bounce on it.

The front most bracket, rivnuts in the body and rivnuts in this bracket.

Waiting for the rest of the pics to upload so there will be a post No. 2.

-
Steel flatbar to reinforce the bottom of the PVC front bar. The black plastic just in front of the tyre was removed after this shot.

Cutting out the wood for a rough starting shape, after the rear wing has been given proper sized endplates, the front splitter will be cut down until the front/rear downforce is similar.

Front bar PVC sheet clamped on test fitting, ready for nuts bolts and white sikaflex.

The wing mount, this MAY stay permanent depending how well it works, the boot has been braced with 3mm steel plate.

Top bolts in and cutting the excess.

The removed the protective layer to reveal nice shiny white PVC front bar.

Here it is almost done, I drove it like this.

Check the phone, yeh its pretty low. Should be efficient.

It needs the flat bar bonded and bolted to the bottom and a pair of braces for the widest points of the splitter.

I intend to take a sawzall to the track and cut the splitter down until front/rear downforce bias is neutral.

Its very low, check the picture with the phone on the ground to show its height, this is a big screen LG phone. Its about 80mm.

The owner will make cardboard templates for the radiator/IC ducting and I will make it and fit it (more rivnuts).

The intake opening was just rough cut so it could be dríven. I threw in some extra fuel to get it driveable and check everything worked right.

Its is the most responsive car Ive ever dríven, its great, Im super super happy with it. On 10 PSI with 17x9 slicks It spins 3rd no hastles at all. They were cold though.

Its telepathic in boost reposnse and spins 2nd from 2500rpm so low/mid torque is great.

Dyno by the weekend.
