Sparky Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ahh yea of course remember you posting in the new hybrid thrread on TGTT, the WG set up looks different to what I remember though!!Thoughts on the kit mate, its on my list possibly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sx_turbo Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Ahh yea of course remember you posting in the new hybrid thrread on TGTT, the WG set up looks different to what I remember though!!Thoughts on the kit mate, its on my list possibly it is a very good kit if i'm honest, the boost kicks in real hard and i acheive full boost by 3500rpm, it also hasnt been tuned yet and the boost controller is off, so i'm hoping for a spool of at least 3k full boost when it's all tuned with a bit of luck.the wastegate might look different because i have had it welded back into the downpipe, as i not a fan of screamer pipes.also if people are wanting to know, the attain hi throttle, makes absolutely no difference to throttle response, so imo is a waste of money unless you want a blue anodised throttle linkage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sx_turbo Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 finished car today, so it's all up and running.a few little bits and pieces to do and sort out, but the main thing is its working woo hooa few more pics to celebrate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sx_turbo Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Engine out................... AGAIN!!!!!!!!! 3RD TIME IN 6 MONTHS :mad:boot full of partswell after a lot of fecking about, i still have no car 7 months laterchanged me brake cables, and the gf decided the calipers were rubish, so decided she was gonna paint them, it was a choice of red, or gold from my old fiesta, so i went for gold, it's a really subtle cold, and just makes the calipers look newand while i was there i decided to wash under the archeswell the build must go on, so.....................after actually having the brake lines for 2 years, i fitted the front ones about this time last year, and at the weekend i have only just fitted the rear ones lolthe girlfriend got bored and decided to clean up the alternator and starter motor and decided to do a spot of paintingand i fitted the second race harness, again i've had this for over 6 months now hopefully have the rods on wednesday, and then i can send the block off to the machinists.block is now down at the machinists, i have complete faith in this guy though, he builds race engines for a living, and has 9 months work in front of him, which means he's bloody good at what he does, when i dropped it off to him, his workshop was just full of engines, and he has a special cubicle that is air tight and as clean as a whistle to ensure that no rubbish gets in the engine. guy certainly seems to have all the right parts, and impressed me with some of the engines he currently has down there, one he's working on at the mo, is an aston martin DB5 engine.this is where i am upto as of today, bit of a piss take the car has been off the road for 10 months now (well, excluding the 2 weeks it did work for)i feel i've kinda lost all heart and inspiration at the moment, but that will probably change when i have the engine back.if i get it back, was supposed to have it back 6 weeks ago, it now been with the builder 9 weeks oh well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sx_turbo Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 notching on block markings on bolts shows it was built to a high standardpainted blue, mucxh to my surprise (was gonna paint it black, but i now rather like the blue lol )scribble on pistons (makes sense to an engineer, but bugger all to me)the engineers sums, for the compression ratio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
