  1. Very nice work. Having a read threw now. Nice v.
  2. I'm just having a catch up now. Some very nice parts I see. It's going to be very nice.
  3. Little update. Because of the design of the early Turbo spool system employed long narrow/even length inlet/exhaust runners + inlet D valve & twin throttle body + preturbo throttle on the engine we have decided to fit and try the masive standard Td05 20g turbo I got cheap. It's starting to build good pressure at 3krpm and full on by 4krpm, (.5bar at present). There is still some work to do to fine tune the pre turbo throttle system. (As can be seen fitted in the previous post picture). The power delivery is kinder to the near standard 4efe engine smoother but Waw kicks fo
  4. Nice work as always. Great build. Gotta love modding, it's never ending.
  5. Yep sure am. I do like the white.
  6. Not going to lie, I'm missing this car. It has been sent away to the body shop for a full paint and restore, also the engine bay is getting widened to house the 7age motor and c164 box. It will be at least 6 month, but I'm expecting it to be more like 18months.
  7. So after being parted for several months, I'm back in (working on the starlet) again. Reunited. It started up straight away. The paseo has gone into the body shop. First job replace engine oil and filter. (Lots of mapping done on this oil) Next job will be to mod the inlet to take the Audi throttle body. The off side/right drive shaft gearbox seal has developed a small leak, since being parked up!?.
  8. Having a catch up now.

    Haha, I was working. What a track!! I'm just catching up now. Then I'm on holiday for 1 month. Keep at it sometimes things need to get ugly In order to get straightend out. Merc will have the issues sorted very soon. That car has massive potential with its reduced drag.
  10. Yeh. Motor sport/proformamce is not a easy thing to do correctly, when ever I have phoned these guys they have always been happy to help anwser question's. I've had afew parts off them last year and have never had a problem. It sounds like the move has taken alot of there time up.

    Yeh defo. Farrari have been developing this car the longest + they have had more wind tunnel time than all the other big teams, due to the sliding scale wind tunnel rules. This situation was bound to happen, which is a good even rule, I think. Nothing the FIA could do to help max there.

    What a race. The red cars are back. Last season I watch Charles prove he can race wheel to wheel in a car that was seriously unstable. I'm getting a red cap for Monaco. I can't help but like this pair. Get ready to fight the mercs there on there way up the order.
  13. Keep us updated, love the trials tunning/modding brings. The injectors are definitely a great step. The denso units are hard work.
  14. Have you solved the issue.
  15. Just disconnect the battery or pull the efi fuse for 10sec.
  16. Sounds like a plan I will look into it this weekend.
  17. I'll lookin to the 4wd gearbox. See were the transfer box of is located.
  18. Not sure on the 4wd box, "BUT" I have swapped alot of Toyota C series gearbox bell housings over on various boxes so far so good. The only real problem I have come across is certain differential drive shaft splines count and shaft diameter can differ. Things like main shaft/lay shaft bearings require swapping over and things like syncros and florks cam be different. Which because of power levels I always opt for the strongest option. Also the diff bearing preload Sims require setting up. When you swap a bell housing you also swap half of the diff carrier housing.

    So here it is. The new Merc with the new Tech, from the company I proudly work for. It's been 3x years in the making. And a crazy time to meet the dead line. https://reactionengines.co.uk
  20. I've just had a catch up on the build. Really nice work. Thanks for sharing.
  21. There are some very smart builds taking shape at present. Nice touch with the light gray door trim.

    Haha I know me to. It was unacceptable last season, but at least it's got Lewis fired up. This season we will see what max can do. he's got more in the running to contend with. He's going to have to put his points in the bag head on, if hes able to do that we will see. Yep it's down to the Russian people to stop there government. I understand there's many of them that risk alot inorder to speak out. At the very least we get a laff and the investment will help young Mick. Let's hope he's able to fight others this year.
  23. As soon as I saw the surging of the headlights as the engine revs up and dims again as it returned to idle I know the electrical system on these was poor at very best. Then I started to investigate, and found its very poor. A larger capacity battery helps a great deal. Rember to run a earth to the engine sensor earth bank. And the ignitor/ignition amp also benefits from a solid return earth. This attaches to the frame/mounting bracket. The ignitor earth is internal to the alloy cover. Littraly every system on this little car is so very basic.
  24. I've got 2 spare 3sge rev3 engines if you do. They are crazy powerful motors. Remind me of the second gen 4g63. I hear you on the SR engine. Like you say minimum should of been a 5e. So much more torque from that engine. Yeh I was watching the 1990s btcc with the siera cossworths Andy and ste going tooth and nail. Great to watch. Great racing.
  25. Little things like spark plug gaps often get over looked also. Keep us posted.
