Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build



  182cup & 172 racecar
Now it has cam's in, the old set up was restricting it.

Went from 205 bhp to 212 bhp

So it now runs a Pipercross sausage on the front. Thanks Dan at 519 for that late visit.

See you there Tony, be good to see how it performs on track :)
 
Sounds good guys! I bet you can't wait to get out and give the new engine a go :) Hope you have a good day and if you need a spanner boy/general bi*ch for the day then you have my number!

I'll try to get down to see it, interested to see how it goes/sounds now.

I'm not sure how long I missed the last few updates, but awesome work as ever.

Looks like Danny did a cracking job, not that I'd expect any different.

It won't be to exciting, looking at data and set up options for May 7th.

Plus we need to make sure we put it back together properly and nothing falls off.


Lol, I'll make sure to pop by your garage at some point during the day and stick my head in if you dont seem to busy or if im not too busy bombing it round haha :)

That was hosted by Track Days, was punted as open pit lane and then they did 20 min sessions at the last minute because yep you guessed it they overbooked et al the mega traffic all day!

you're no fun at times Tony....of course I know you're there for a reason....though after watching the traffic on Icemans vid hope Easytrack live up to their "we don't cram in\on as many cars as we can" and it's not that busy.

Never had a problems with them to be honest. I've heard other organisers are bad though. MSV, in my experience are also pretty good.

20min sessions would suit us anyway, we wouldn't run it for more than that at the best of times.

Fuel rail and oil cooler:

Were booked in at Tour-De-Force next week to get the new engine calibrated, in the meantime there is a few things we needed to finish off. For the last 2 seasons the car has run the standard plastic road car fuel rail, we have never been happy with the way the fuel lines joined together, it was a possible weak point.
We decided to swap to a solid AT Power fuel rail, also increasing the fuel pressure with a new regulator at the same time. It was a
fairly straight forward job.

We are quite pleased how neat the fuel lines came out, the 180′ bend was quite expensive but makes a very tidy job of it. Another little job that we finished off was to fit an oil cooler/heat exchanger.

So that’s the engine bay complete and we’re all ready for our trip to TDF to see how many Gee Gee’s we have to play with this season………
Excitement building.

What size of fuel lines did you guys use if you don't mind me asking?
