Hi Keith, how is the taxi doing? ;)

 

Good price that! But suspect you may get into trouble for not being a member trying to flog them.

 

Hi Thorin

 

True but it i thought i would maybe help someone out on here and save me having to send them back.

So here are a few work in progress shots of our first incarnation off the dry sump system

Here are a few photos of the dry sump tank.

 

The feed and return pipes are -16 with a -20 for the vent.

 

It has a drain in the bottom with two 110v heaters and it spilts in half to make it easy to clean.

Here are a few photos of the new light weight rear Wilwood brakes, the disc and bell are only 3.4lbs in weight. :wink:

 

That is a big saving over the std discs

A few pics of the head, it is having a few very minor mods from last year, but nothing major as it seems to be working really well, unlike the cams which are getting completely replaced with a very different lift/duration.

pictures of rear of sump. Very little room to play with, no room between crank and central area of sump due to increase in stroke, no room under sump due to steering rack, very little room at either side. sorry for quality, pics from phone.

Very nice Keith, what's your aims for this year?

 

I recognise that engine mount in the last and second to last pic ;)

 

You will maybe get to make more parts soon lol

 

Thorin the turbo is a one off by Turbo Dynamics it is part GT42 and part GT47 the front cover inlet is 6"

It will run up to 1300bhp at TOTB last year on the 0-300 run the data logging showed that we hit 3.5 bar boost:eyebrows:.

 

Photo of my mate next to the turbo lol

SmigzyTT i hope you are right about the times.

 

The new light wheels and brakes will save about 45/50kg that will help it rev:)

 

The best mod this year is that we have fitted a airshifter to the OS Giken gearbox,if you go to the link below you will see my box going up and down the gears,it takes 70mil seconds to change gear,this is going to help big time on the 1/4 mile.
