Might be able to sort that out for ya!
Cheers Danny! Can only take credit for the design, and parts but the welding has made what it is. Focrs was at it for about 5 hours on Sunday so a massive thanks to him!
Cheers mate!
Cheers Wayne, hopefully soon. Hows yours doing?
You said it Stuart! Thanks again for the help at the weekend! :approve:
The scariest blast in a car under 30mph I've ever had. Lol! I'll repay the favour and take you out in this when it's done and let you sit on a stool!

Great stuff!! love the inlet matey
Cheers mate, happy with it myself.
Last summer! Seriously though, I would say May.
Mine is still in bits hoping to have the engine back sometime next week, but been buying all the small parts like gauges oil return hose and fittings also waiting on my clutch coming back for helix so should be good to go dying to get it done miss the boost :-(

Will not be making any parts for a while till this one is tested but will do.
yeah, same head but mine is designed around a 172 cup alternator so would need to measure up for a non cup alternator setup too.

Trophy Turbo :)
The pure motor sport stuff is class. Very impressed with it. Your welcome Steve
I'm gona need one of them, I wana join the crew lol

No, not a quick shift. Just repositions the stick far higher with no additional travel along with taking out any play making it a much more precise gear change.
Cheers mate, I've got a box of random bends that I'm going to make into solid pipes with only a few silicone couplers. Should look tidy when I've worked it out. When are you back?

Seems to be the 'in thing' these days. Hopefully it works as good as it looks.
Should be back end of the month is it S/s or alloy. Should be easy enough get a trailer and get the car down and get it finished.

They are stainless. I'll measure them up and mark them so just need welded.
Catch you when you're back then. Don't work too hard mind!

Been working away on the car when time allows so a wee update is needed.
The inlet manifold is now finished and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. @focrs has done a great job on it even with some of my annoying design requirements.
After a paint with Holts version of D43 paint which is quite a bit darker than what's on the car. Looks good but not a good match at all.
Did the catch tank when I was at it
@focrs also welded up all the boost pipes which just need a polish to finish them off. They all fit well after a test fit.
Also decided to not fit a set of AP CP5200's to the P1 and instead donate them to the Clio. Offered them up to the discs and if I use 300mm discs and 20mm spacers with custom brackets they should fit under 15's. The brackets are being made just now so will test fit over the weekend. Fingers crossed as they will be more than enough stopping power for the wee Clio.
Here's how the engine bay is looking without the boost pipes, fuel rail, hoses, etc. gives an idea but all just small things to do now.
New fuel setup too. Pretty much everything needed a new home from the old engine to now so a lot of expense buying new fitting, hoses and bits and pieces.
Been talking to Scoff at EFI Parts as well as I wanted to get some advice how best to run in the new engine without having to bring it all the way down to him without even turning it over only to find there is a leak here and there, lol! The map from the old engine is completely different to the new one so not really compatible. All I can say is he has been an absolute legend AGAIN and has helped out massively. Basically, he has sent me a base map of a similar spec car and told me how to make the necessary changes to the fueling and wiring of the DBW throttle. Big thanks to that man and not that he needs any more recommendations, here is another one for all your mapping needs!
Think I've went on long enough so.......

Cheers mate, had some thinking making all 3 brain cells work together to come up with that position. That was about the 3rd mounting place but worked out best. Just had to buy more fittings and owe to make it work. Yeah, Scoff is the man! For such a busy person he never fails to get back to you on a query.
Probably not going to make to FCS as there still a bit to do first and still needs mapped which Scoff says he has a months waiting list for.
Cheers Wayne. Not sure if I'll be fully finished first but it could be running first. I'm sure we'll catch up soon at KH!
I bet you will be mate, months waiting list aww crap I better get on the emails then I want to get mine run in this year lol
We fired ours up for the first time yesterday. Not usable but it starts and revs!
This is on a whole other level though from our shitty wee build!

Amazing attention to detail

Thought you guys would be first! Well done.
Nothing s**tty about your build. Fully caged track weapon, should do the damage no probs.
Still got loads to do then?
Cheers mate, unfortunately, the attention to detail is what takes me so long as I keep changing things rather than moving on to something else.
I see you're thinking of a diffed 02M conversion. Maybe a group buy again if w33 brl is up for this too.
I'm up for it once I get the car built can't buy anything else until it's built, but at least a month now :-( hopefully find out Monday what's happening
172 cup, Impreza P1
Same here tbh, needs to be running well before sinking another few grand into it.
Sounds about right, I'll be looking about Christmas time likes
I am hoping to have mine completed by the end of June, so I don't think we are all in the right place for a group buy
Nice idea though!
