Kaan W Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah it looks nice Kaan, they have been doing custom cnc for ages, I had custom bits made last year and shipped out. They really are anal about their work, far from cheap though. I've been following them for a while now and I can back that there work is second to none, some real great products they produce. It really isn't cheap especially for one off items which is why I tried to get the group buy on the go But yeah now the covers are being made they do look rather tasty!

Kaan W Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Small but major update: The car is due to be picked up on the 4th October for its journey over to SRD, by this time the engine should be pretty much complete if all goes to plan we're just waiting on the billet timing belt covers and a few bits from the chromers. It will be nice to get these bits on the engine to complete it before the car goes there as it's not seen the new engine yet then once the car's there the rest of the work can commence. I'm not sure how long it's going to take as there is still some major work to do still but it's definitely not far off. The ultimate dream is almost a reality and I can't wait Edited September 21, 2014 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Great news Bet your more excited than a kid at Christmas now you have a date for then car going in, will still look forward to your updates. Yeah definitely mate, I can't believe this journey of all the money and all the hard work will give the end result sitting in my garage within a few months. To be honest I'm scared already to drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 After spending that much dosh on an engine, an air filter would be worth more to me than a shiny 3bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Same here mate, I had a huge K&N fitted before I picked mine up. Shame I'm changing turbo setup now, as a 6" ID K&N and polished intake hard pipe will be useless to me on my new 6870 setup lol. John always ran it without a filter, but this worried me. It only takes a small bit of debris to get sucked in and you've got one hell of an expensive mess to sort out. Does look cool at a show though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 6" Intake pipe Definetly a bit overkill on a smaller turbo I think that would even look silly on mine lol. There's always that chance something could get sucked in but to be safe it's always best to run with a filter, but as you said at shows its just there to look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) It was a GT47 T6 Kaan and that was the size of the inlet. Took ages to get hold of a 6" polished intake pipe with a 45deg bend in it believe it or not! Lol (apparently very hard to mandrel bend pipe of this diameter). Had to get one from PHR in the states through MVP in the end. Edited September 29, 2014 by Phlukey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah I bet mate, alot of people end up welding sections together and smoothing the welds out. Probably quite expensive no doubt to have pipe that diameter bent!! That's a fair old size turbo though can't those things make 1400hp?

Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Probably, but it'd definitely need to be on a stroked motor running ethanol to get anywhere near that figure I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
