My Engine @ Autosport

[fmp_]

anyone see my engine sitting proud on GDI's stand at the Autosport show?

for anyone that missed it, a few snaps....

It is just a mock up at the mo, as engine has no internals etc. (waiting on the bits)

but should be pretty fruity when done!

 

[Nafoff]

looks very nice, you must be well proud

 

[Russ_16v]

cool bud,what power/torque you hoping for?

 

[jimbo666]

wow!! sorry i may have missed other posts with the specs on it. what are they?

Engine is having throttle bodies as in pic, plus cams, valve springs,high comp pistons and forged rods. port & polish, full lighten and balance. Omex 710 ECU.


Should be good for a genuine 240bhp.

Any reason why you are using the 710 over the 600?

Looks good. I need to save up some pennys so I can buy myself a set of those ITBs

 

[Djw Dave]

Drool!

 

[Ali]

looks good! Cleanest it'll ever look!

Mainly for Data Logging initially. But also gives us options for the future, with extra injectors etc etc. Plus its plug and play with Racelogic stuff, should we chose to use thier dash or camera setups.

I met Richard from Omex today at Autosport, ran through it all with me. Top guy! and luckily for me, very enthusiastic about this years Time Attack series!

The data logging was the only thing I could think of.

Apparently Richard doesnt like me but Andy on tech support is a good guy.

Matt

you mean RaceTechology dashboards...

the Omex ECU's link straight to them...

its also going to be used for datalogging and possibly a few other tricks like playing with stand off injectors if we decide to raise the rev limit above 8000rpm

THATS WHAT I MEANT!! lol.

got too caught up in the excitment!

by the way... i NEED one of those in there

 

[graham_172]

i saw it aswell as mark's clio 182

 

[fmp_]

good stuff!

 

[Dave-Clio]

240bhp?!! my traction control would pack up its bags and leave lol.

 

[fmp_]

haha, i wont be running traction control!

nothing a bit of throttle control wont solve!

tho i hope to have a diff in there to help me out!

 

[clio_luke]

engine looks amazing mate. good plans too, that thing is going to shift!!

 

[TheJesus]

putting the power down was always pretty easy unless wet. In the dry as long as my tyres had a fair old amount of tread it would grip even launching from 1st. Guessing you will be on slicks though!

 

[kpowell911]

HOW MUCH is that dash? I Want it

i am shore that you have to run road tyres for time attack every think on the car has to be road legal

 

[Alan]

Looks ace..

 

[Andy GDI]

Dash unit is £499+ with the short loom and connectors.

the Omex ECU's connect directly to it, you can I believe have CAN bus adaptors from Race Technology... so theoretically it can take info from std ECU as the dash can be calibrated to read most sensors...

[Tigger]

This a whole engine rebuild or cleaned & painted parts?

Looks like a lot of time & effort and money put in
