The V8 Owners Forum -

Nice! Although when he says budget its probably way out of my budget!!!
Makes good numbers for the psi, i wonder what poundage the injectors were, cam specs etc etc

Its a 60mm gate
Thanks for the links!

I see your point ill ask Wayne to redo it in the new year.
Do you think, if it'll fit, placing the wastegate horizontally and nearer the flange would help?

Lots of nice work going on, although flow path to the wastegates is a little odd.

How come you didnt keep all the hot pipes low and come into the turbo from underneath ?

Its probably a bit tricky to see from the pics both banks feed into the offside the wastegate is on the nearside single vband ...

That is an awesome set up.
Methinks that might be a bit swift when finished.

Great work and keep the pictures coming

Cheers gelmonkey, all credit must go to Wayne i just told him where i wanted everything to go!

this is my favourite one



I had to get a doctor to remove the grin off my face!

Again super happy with Waynes work, now have a long list of little jobs to do

then a pair of rads to go with the intercooler

it fits just right in here

then things started getting interesting.....


just look at the cool exhaust Wayne made for me!

So.....as someone stated earlier steering can be useful so I got the car back over to Wayne at www.custom-garage.co.uk

If you dont mind looking over the pond have a look at squeeze performance or liljohns motorsports solutions also vsracing may be able to help

Or would it not have been easier just to use regular engine style engine mounts ?

Map take off lines up near perfectly with the halo/hoop on the gearbox side

Regular mounts? Because race car Stevie!

so i turned my front plate into a two piece

and hacked off the offending part

SO I got down from the loft
LS9 MLS head gaskets

heads
and inlet
but as with anything slightly modified the inlet will need modifying as the Map takeoff at the back hits the mid plate
also need to cut the front plate to allow the manifold to actually connect to the heads, might be useful I spose ...

Any modification of the monocoque/chassis should mean an IVA test. It looks like there has been some work done there

Aw c'mon guys don't put a downer on things, it's just a few braces is all!
