Burna Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 yeah Friday fingers crossed but everything appears to be on schedule. remember guys I've only had this engine around 8 weeks in my possession because of waiting for outside companies to do there jobs, parts to arrive, issues with the valve springs etc. And hes had a lot of custom work gone into this not just bolt a few bits together. and no not by the hour but i wish, i'm making a flat £1000 from all this Tim TB Developments Did the machine shop whittle it all by hand?!? Joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBDevelopments Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 lol you couldn't resist lol. i only sent them like 30mins ago. no Burna is was 2 different machinists unfortunately as this had billet main caps and my usual machinist doesn't have the specialist equipment for that so that had to be sent away and lets say he dragged his feet for months. But excuses aside i'll be honest I've way to much demand at the moment and everyone's screaming for jobs to be completed so its a few hours here, a few hours there. this is why I've closed the shop until i can get it all sorted. Then i can fully concentrate on a job until completion before taking on the next. This means once i have a job it'll be complete a lot faster.

TBDevelopments Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Nope! To say I'm getting a tad P#%4ed off is an understatement. Had to cancel the guy that is going to trailer it back to the bodyshop several times and as well as letting down the bodyshop. Latest update is its going on the dyno possibly Friday........ whats causing he delay mark? Just so people know this isn't me this Time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 whats causing he delay mark? Just so people know this isn't me this Time lol Ha ha, no not your fault Tim. I think it's a case of too much work and not enough time. There is usually a car booked in on the dyno pretty much every day so mine gets worked on as and when. I rang him yesterday and there's an issue with the DCT that they are trying to resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 That Return pipe is a work of art. What is you turbo & manifold setup for that to be required ? Thanks mate yeah it is beautiful Im using a Garrett GTX4202R on a Boostlogic manifold, is a big snail so will generate alot of heat around that area which is also the reason for my additional custom vents in my bonnet ( Good pics here on post 406 from when I picked her up from the bodyshop ) whats the bracket on the turbo mounting for ? Im having a polished heatshield to sit overtop of it which will be mounted from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
