STAGE 2This stage will be changing a lot, project sleeper will be giving its true identity away by a loud whistle and a branded body by all the sponsors.
With the damaged pistons and head because of the "ORIGEN UNKNOWN" item that got sucked into the intake.... We decide that while opening the engine, lets do it properly ('
')
To give you a little clue....
Here is the list of goodies bought over a period of about 12 months:
Goodies from Turbo Direct S.A.
www.turbodirect.co.zaCustom Hybrid Garrett Turbo, TurboSmart External WasteGate, Blow off Valve & Electronic Boost Controller.
The Mr Turbo Cast Iron manifold was not used in the project because the turbo could not fit with it.
Total Kit (Prothane Suspension Upgrades)
Standard Size replacement bearings
New 9A 16v Ceramic Coated Pistons, H-Beam Con-rods, Rings and crank (Balanced)
Button Clutch
OUCH!!!
Bottom-end fitted
Test fitted Manifolds
As you can see, the turbo wouldnt fit with the supplied cast-iron Mr Turbo manifold (This manifold would work fine with a T3/T4 Turbo.
A Custom Manifold was build with "Weld-on" 90deg bends and T-Pieces 40mm. If you require any custom manifold, please call Dennis Eckly, this guy CAN BUILD IT! (082) 3244522
Test-Fit:
Work in progress:
Boost pipes fitted, Intercooler etc....
I Will post new engine pic as soon as possible...
It was not time to find bigger wheels... with the estimate power the 13" wheels might be a bit of a problem when it comes to traction.
Money is a problem but... If I can rob a bank or something, this is what I would like to fit:
Schmidt Modern Lines!
Well, the money only allowed me to do the following for now:
Got a set of 15" steel wheels
Send them to Vaal Piet in Vanderbyl to be widened: 8" front & 9" rear.
Also got a set of Achilles 123 Racing Semi Slicks (Street legal tyres)
END RESULT!!!
POWER: 270HP
