Parry_10 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Very nice mate good work, Not having the plenum polished as well would bug the hell out of me though. Would go better with the rest of the engine if it was polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 One of the best threads ever. Mainly because total novices like me can begin to full understand the components that make up a full engine build with damn good pics and simple English! Thank you bud.

Noz Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Very jealous here. Going 800hp on stock intake? Would a different intake make that much difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Very jealous here. Going 800hp on stock intake? Would a different intake make that much difference? Could possibly gain you 20-30bhp at a rough guess, but the stock intake is still very good I believe even at this power level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 A lot of yanks use the stock intake while pushing 900 at the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutters Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Very jealous here. Going 800hp on stock intake? Would a different intake make that much difference? I have done a bit of research and it seems most give a 1KW HP rating, much over that then swap. - - - Updated - - - A lot of yanks use the stock intake while pushing 900 at the wheels.

Noz Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Be great to get hold of one and measure the area of each of the runners against the NA one to see why the TT setup flows so well, and people upgrade the NA system above 500. Great build. Let me know when it's ready to pick up for my transplant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks mate... Did you make the 3 pod pillar pods in the end? Yes mate I did. I've made a couple now. I've had loads of random projects being finished at the moment, as well as my own car. I'm now coming to an end finishing a pod for a member on here. With the pillar flexing, it's a nightmare reducing the cracking on the smoothed finish, ARGH nightmare! I've also been hammering new job options, and one looks 99% certain, so I'm looking at doing a engine like yours. 800hp is a strange target, ive seen 700, but never 8. I think it must be because 8 is so close to 1k people just aim for that. How come you didn't aim for 1khp? Would you consider engine building services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
