Copy cat

GT30 will be fun!! Any modifications needed on the bulk head or anything to get it to fit? What sort of power you going for? 350+?

 

[batesey]

Haha looked good on yours so had to do it yeah 350-400, it's a gt30 with gt28 exhaust housing so won't be massive power but I hope will reduce lag but at the same time have a big punch

 

[r0ss172]

Haha fair play mate!

Haha 350-400 will be mental! Got some spare gear boxes lined up?

 

[batesey]

Lol I'll be fitted LSD with a circlip plate hopefully it will be ok if I don't launch it too much haha

 

[George182]

This is going to be epic!

You got a diff already?

 

[batesey]

Nope not yet mate

 

[batesey]

You got a diff already?

You got one?

 

[NorthloopCup]

You got one?

I can supply one.

 

[batesey]

New or 2nd hand pm me

What difference does having a LSD diff and circlip have over a standard diff and box?

 

[batesey]

What difference does having a LSD diff and circlip have over a standard diff and box?

More grip basically, better around corners, I think less torque steer and less wheel spin, the circlip pops off easily and is a box off job so using a bolted in plate is the best idea

I understand the benefits of a LSD from a performance point of view, but you made it sound like it might handle the power a little better and it last longer. I think at that power instead of spending your money on a diff for a JC5 box, I'd consider having the VAG box put on that Andyrg does... IMO of course

The circlip failure does not require the box to be removed, only the passenger driveshaft.

 

[batesey]

Ahh good nice to know

 

[batesey]

Been working on her again today


Welded up all the holes left in the bay I didn't want


Then carried on till gone 8 to get it done so I can start prep tomorrow


More updates tomorrow

 

[batesey]

Not updated in a while, managed to get a few bits done but ive been working loads, started a new shift pattern at work and hopefully I will get more time now, mainly waiting on parts now too get the engine done...Its turning out to be quite a high spec engine,All seals, bearings, belts will be replaced, JE 9:5.1 piston, Forged rods, Paddle clutch, supertech valves and springs, looking forward to drive it now Got the EPAS column in place

Did the wiring today which is one thing I hate but I got there in the endAlso the bay is nearly ready for paint now

Going to spend a bit of time getting it ready for paint tomorrowAlso was in this months PFC again Not too many pictures as my photobucket is being gay

 

[batesey]

Done a few more bits on cup,

Prepped/smooth even more on the bay

Then Tuesday night my mate came over to paint the bay at 8:30pm

Then finished at near on midnight...

Not bad for a direct gloss paint in an old open front shed, few niggles but will polish out very happy and better than the previous bodyshop's job

Parts all came just waiting on my supertec exhaust valves..

Never the less I took the engine to the builders to get started and ill send the valves over when they come for him to do the head

Then I had a spare day and once id rotated the new turbo housing the actuator bracket didn't fit sooo I got fabricating, my weldings not anything to shout about but its good enough for this sort of stuff

That's currently at the powder coaters with the newly smoothed inlet

At this point I decided my nuts needed a clean....

Then the gearbox a snazz up, decided to stick with stock at the moment until I collect parts for O2M

Then finally I found a cup alternator setup to replace the PMS kit, the PMS is a great bit of kit but I needed a new alternator and you cant just run a shorter belt on it and with me binning off the PAS I wanted to do that

Got a new shorter Gates belt to run with it, once it arrived I'll tart it up because i'm a ..well a tart haha

More pictures coming soon

Nice spray job in the bay. Something I wanted to do to mine but HATE painting. Not got the patience for the prep and am dreading spraying my interior.

Fancy a job?? Lol

 

[batesey]

If you was closer mate i'd pop over and prep it for u, sure my mate would do it for beers too lol

Cheers for the offer, might just drop it off at yours then. Lol

Can you take a pic of your actuator bracket in situ? Why did you need such an angle? Could you not just rotate the bracket?

 

[George182]

Awesome update. Bay look brilliant.


(Jealous)

 

[batesey]

No I needed a large angle for the rod the line up with the gate , I'll take a pic when I have it all back together

 

[batesey]

Been busy today...

Cleaned up the alternator / brackets

Painted boost pipe

Fitted it

Took the wheels off

Refurbing them as they have been done 3 years ago and starting to look tatty, got some R888 for the fronts

More updates next week as im working the weekend

 

[batesey]

Few updates, still no engine though

Tyres off the wheels

Picked up my resprayed wings earlier so I fitted them and finally fitted the bullets sprayshack made in a group buy

Was also having issues with the liquid metal bungs I made for the EPAS conversion, I couldn't get hold of any M12 x 1.0 bolts so I welded up the holes on my brass fittings which went quite well, then I cleaned them up on the grinder

Also started to fit the headlights with new stainless bolts

Then decided to clean the hoses in the bath

Hoping the engine will be back soon as im really missing driving the thing now

 

[batesey]

Few pictures from the engine builders

 

[batesey]

Few pics from last few days

And shes now back..
I've built a bit up tonight will do more over next few days

 

[dmallett]

uhhh-mazing.

Awesome build!

 

[batesey]

Been at it a bit more the last week...

Last friday i go the engine in

Turbo on

Slight issue, bigger turbo and few things had altered

So Jsperformance to the rescue again, been toying with pink boost hoses for a while

Just got downpipe to fit, inlet to fit properly, restof coolant pipes then modify the screamer pipe as its altered slightly,

Will hopefully get it ran in soon
