I just want that cover anyway for the 172 - no window mind

 

[kevin.s]

whats up bud?

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Not happy cause I have nothing to update!

Still waitin

 

[stevo172-RWD]

little update.

im told rear brakes (hi-spec four pots)
are now comete.

should have the car back in a week or two!
then i can finish the dash etc,and make up bits to hold the rear cover.

then it will go back to k-tec for engine which is being worked on-aux brackets etc.
and mapping on omex.

 

[theduck]

its gonna be worth it fella Keep with it!

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Oh and the discs are two piece bolt together ones
not sure what size.
Think they are 330mm

 

[medici999]

what kind of power will this be producing once finally completed and mapped/running properly?

 

[kevin.s]

you know you will have to take a trip to one of the midlands meets so i can see this when done.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

cam i get it done first lol

then do all of the following.
not too bothered how much power it makes atm.
should b around where it was said to be before 250bhp.
id b happy with 172bhp lol

id like the option of more power when needed so i think boost controller will be a good buy plus iv been told my turbocharger is too small and is maxed out at 250bhp??
only 0.6bar?
been loking at the garret gt35 !looks bigger.
not sure it would suit the size of the engine and power delivery etc.

iv also been thinking ditch the turbo and go supercharged as i already have low comp bottom end and omex . . . .plus other bits aux kit,bigger injectors.

i think i need to set a new finish date and throw all i have at it!
id like to say end of december/jan but i know it wont happen.

iv almost thought of giving up on this project i really have.
but i havent yet!
and dont intend too!

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Aha!!

Do you know someone with the reg R100 LCM? Silver 172?

[declanN44]

looks minted great project !!

 

[stevo172-RWD]

It's getting there!
Very slowley

 

[kevin_172]

stevo this is taking time the months at GDI and now K-tec.. hurry up because i want to see it finnished!!!

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Uh yer it's taking a while longer than first thought.

It's getting there.

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Sounds like its coming along well fella. As said already a garret GT2871R will be perfect for the car and they are very easy to get hold of. A Gt35 is HUUUGE but would be great fun if you could rev the engine high enough. Failing that, bolt one on as youve already turbo'd it and just add a supercharger aswell!! No Lag worries and endless amount of scope for more power lol Its pretty easy to do as well. That would make the ultimate 172 in my eyes...... turbocharged and supercharged mid engined sleeper....lancia S4 style!!!

 

[stevo172-RWD]

I might go NA route.

Mybe itbs

 

[fez]

great read

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Mybe itbs

Only kidding, to be honest this is my favorite project by far on here so keep up the work fella. Can't wait to see those vee covers on.
