That dash.. you know you made it from the old dash (mold).. its not going to be like 10mm too big to fit back in? and you have prob now scaled it up a little bit to fit where everything was before?

just found a company who make me a shorter ally radiator and intercool in one!
Are you still going to make the ITB air box yourself?
Well impressed by all that mate! Thought anything about the tires you'll be running it on - you'll need some seriously soft rubber to keep all the power down. Might be worth some dot-specs or something.
Think you're doing really well though, and I wish I had the balls to do that - and the space!
What's next once you finish this one? A twin engined one, or a four wheel drive one?
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the dash works out.
one set has the best road tyre ever IMO = Pe2's

plenham, thats the word I was trying to think of.
Custom plenham aswell then.
Is Ben developing the supercharger conversion then? What ECU are you going to use?
well ben is doing the work, but this kit would not fit a normal 172 without modifing it,
as i have a custom AUX setup and boddies etc
not sure on the ECU...ben worries about stuff liek that... i just write the cheques!
400hp from a super charger? is that the stats on the side of the tin ben? how did you arrive at those numbers?
so many questions for you lad!!
jamie
basically I could run about 480hp with the charger, its all on the pulley size etc.400hp from a super charger? is that the stats on the side of the tin ben? how did you arrive at those numbers?

Reworked oil channels in the block?
It can be made road legal though.Seen a Ph2 172 track on ebay b4, it was stunning. shame its ilegal 2 drive it on the road. lol
Why not VAg 1.8 T it then use the 6 speedo box of then?
But your always stuck with them draining power from the engine. You could oversppeed it though or it heat the air up to much.so the higher the revs the more power and you cant out spin a charger like a dirty Turbo with its hot air. so the power would never drop off like a turbo.
Are you keeping the engine in the same place then or going to try move it back a bit to help with weight.it originally was a high reving N/A but now ive had to change half way through.
the Rotrex's arent too bad for sucking the power as the gearbox is very smart on them.
i think k-tec sell a uprated pump for there turbo kit which fits in the stock tank?
