[connor]

Little did i know its an old mates dad who owns it and lives about a mile from me! see it outside the house every day but didnt realise it was the same one till i saw the back of it!

[connor]

[Fred@BTM]

news to me, I was down at K-tec the other week and Dave mentioned nothing about a SC Vee6

 

[Mike T]

erm - the old man would be me then!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave didnt do it but there are more than a few bits of his on the car and its running about 340-370 bhp depending on road or track mapping.

Hmm those seats have got me thinking, I take it the new V6 has the same bog standard 172 seats?

Quite fancy some black/blue Cobras or Sparco seats!

Not to mention a nice Illiade blue MK1 http://www.novidem.com/images/illu_cliov630.gif

 

[cliotuRS]

can we have a vid of the speedo accelerating?? or some sounds from inside the cabin? hehe

 

[Mike T]

Ill sort some video out next weekend if someone can tell me how to upload it!!!!!!!!

Amusing sounds are - fuels pumps engaging for 10 seconds at ignition - ridiculous induction roar which pick up small rodent from the left intake - 100db from the back at 7600rpm (no cats and straight through box) and the bangs as the flames come out on the overrun. Oh and the batmobile whine from the charger - apart from that youd never know anything had been done!!

Its a rotrex centrifugal charger running 1 bar boost - engine fully rebuilt /balanced with HKS pistons at 8.1:1compression

 

[BenR]

HKS!??

i am assuming that they were intended for a different vehicle?

if not......wow.

 

[Mike T]

custom made for the car

 

[BenR]

very nice.

What made you choose HKS?

 

[Mike T]

Crowns are treated and a good basic design - plenty of fat for machining the valve clearances I needed

 

[BenR]

ahh right!....so did you specify pin and compression heights, bore, taper crown thickness etc etc....or was it a by chance sort of thing?

Sounds nice.

 

[Mike T]

All specified by the engine builder (grumpy) and machined for clearances in the machine shop

 

[Ben j]

how much did that conversion cost u?

 

[Mike T]

erm!! loads and loads as I rewired the car, changed the ECU etc etc etc

 

[Neil82]

7k?

 

[Mike T]

for the ECU and electrics??? - youre close!

 

[Fred@BTM]

run it on the rollers or 1/4 mile at all??????
