glenn that looks really good and if it sees some gains then its a win win, out of interest have you fount that the standard inlet has become restrictive at a certain power level or psi ?

10 points to anyone who spotted the the cage had to be modified once glenn realised he couldn't fit in the car anymore :laugh: Que us cutting out the middle bar and replacing it with a curved one so he could get the seat further back. It's a great shell, the straightest GT I've seen for a long time.

Had them for probably 1-2 years, not quite got round to fitting them, a member used to do them but there not original and not replicas there just a close resemblance really lol. I think your new purchase would look great with some originals but i kno there expensive now :( still looks fantastic without :D would love an original looking 5.

nothing special just a lot of messing about with bonnet pins
Looks amazing, but why didn't you remove any of the sound deading or cut away the inside of the doors? saves quite a bit of weight.

after running the white one with perspex windows for the last for years i wanted to keep the glass and not a lot of weight to be saved as you would need to lose 50 kilos to gain 2mph trap and .2 of a second the white car wheel spin to after the 1/8 at pod thinking of adding more weight this year to aid grip for this new one and the new rules for esc the new car needs to weight 60 kilos more than white one

Ahh ok cheers Glenn, I'll bodge something together! :D
Ahh ok cheers Glenn, I'll bodge something together! :D
all you need to buy are flush fit bonnet pins i bought them of ebay 11 posted
the red bonnet and original front wheel arches are for sale if anyone is intrested mint condition
the bumper and arches i got from tony i had to twist his arm up his back to sell them to me as they are only a shell and you have to make all your own mounting and shape them to fit properly so as he has a big company to run he did me a favour so sorry to upset anyone that it may
just a little update been doing a little more on the car coming on arches looks loads better painted

i was so tempted to go with a big spec vw engine which i had allready built costing well over £5000...... but still going to make the first 10 sec c1j i hope lol its just a lot funnier at comps when you tell them its only a 1.4 makes me smile

A 10 second c1j would seriously be some achivement..............in fact it's the type of achivement that most people don't belive untill they see it with their own eyes:laugh:

not much room for the full 3"downpipe & exhaust in there, with the kinda power your looking for its definetly worth the effort :goodJob:
is this being built purely for drag racing?
I see you have done away with the fan for the heaters on the Bulkhead , what you going to do for de-misting the windows ?
ive been really considering getting rid of mine or trying to duct it in a tidy way just cant decide what to do :confused: even considering a remote fan of some kind .
Looking good :agree: goto be a 10 in there now :)

never thought about that nice idea :cool:
i stripped the dash and loom out mine the day and was surprised how much weight is in that heater box :) i think id like try to keep the heater in situ maybe try rerouting the pipework somehow . bit more room in the enginebay and i dont need to worry about waterpipes running along the back of the manifold /downpipe
id love to lose the servo aswell but thats another £££ job i cant afford at the moment :crap:

same throttle body as last time it was too big for the last one but mint for new one
Glen, looks awesome:agree:
Out of curiosity looks like you may need a twin pas intercooler? also why does the exhaust manifold not have equal length pipes? Just curious, awesome project:agree::D. Keep up the top work?

manifold is made to flow better than the ktec one.. which i carnt do in equallenght to do this.. flow is more important ....... intercooler:confused:
Just admiring the engine bay of you car in the pics again glen and sorry if I sound stupid but is there a stud missing from the rocker shaft mate that comes up through the rocker cover is this a secret mod

how come you need 4 if its wasted spark?
when we went over 100bhp of gas and 36psi of boost it used to blow the spark out every time we tried too
Tony Walker
12-03-2012, 21:30
crazy lol :laugh:
Its individual coils tony, each is a high-output coil with inbuilt ignitor. The problem with making a lot of power from a small engine is that it's very hard to keep the spark going. With the 4x coils on glenns engine the air:fuel can be down in the 9s and it'll still pull clean as a whistle :)

27-03-2012, 20:26
Nice one glen :agree: cant wait to see this in the flesh!
Tonight we spent 6hrs on the dyno with Glenns HI5 C1J :)
The spec has changed somewhat, we knew it would be better but we did not know exactly how much better it was going to be. The improvement is just staggering, I can barely believe the results.
The evening starts with the usual part throttle/low load mapping which wasn't a million miles away from last years tune. Initial boost was about 10psi and with a bit of fine tuning I had that up to 150hp or so. 17psi saw about 200hp if I recall. 21psi made about 240hp @ 7000rpm. What's really interesting is that at 30psi the engine was still responding well to small boost increments. Last years motor did not make much extra power after 33psi and at 36psi the power was dropping off at higher RPM because it just couldn't breath all that well.
This time at 36psi we were making comfortably over 300hp and each 1psi increase was returning a notable power gain. The final result was 341hp @ just shy of 40psi boost. 279lb/ft of torque.
Some of the more skeptical will want to question the dyno result, and that is fine, I would probably do the very same. So let me tell you this: the engine is taking 95% duty from 560cc siemens deka injectors @ 3bar fuel pressure. Thats an 044 pump and fuel pressure is holding perfectly. Last year we managed about 80% if I recall. The injector duty calcs correspond with the dyno HP give or take.
Unfortunately 2 bent pushrods put an end to play late in the evening, I would have liked to try a full 3 bar of boost since the motor was still responding to increases. No spare pushrods to hand so that was that.
Hopefully next week we can think about tests with nitrous.
Hats off to Glenn for building a bomb proof motor, etc. Lets hope it does the numbers at the track too.

Surelly you dont want to just be using standard pushrods again ?
i got these 1's made for mine
http://www.rtoc.org/boards/picture.php?albumid=145&pictureid=4634
really makes me want to stick a bigger blower on mine , although i doubt id go anywhere near the size you are running , you are making 80hp more than mine made with T25 which ran out off puff at around 30 psi , Im guessing the big turbo will come into its own when you start running the Gas .
How long before that turbo sucks in a coil pack :p
Any testing planned over easter glen?
Mud, don't show him those, they're shiney and fancy, he'll want them right now :D
Yes maybe some better rods are needed. It used to be that we considered them a 'fuse' since it would often crack retainer caps too, and they would be evident whenever a rod needed changing. It has Ti retainers now so I think he should probably go for something like that. :)

How much we talking about and do you need to alter cylinder head

How much we talking about and do you need to alter cylinder head
they were not really expensive tbh , i sent over a standard 1 to a V8 drag racing specialist in America not sure what they were called it was a while ago now but il try find out , At the time i couldve had 200 made but just decided to get 8 ,the head does need altered though.

Are they steel or titanium? I've often thought about doing the same, but it only takes 2 minutes to swap a bent one (if you dont mind singed fingers) so didn't sort it out! Any CNC place / machine shop should be able to spin some up in a lathe?
Nice motor Glenn!

Personnally id say if your bending pushrods its down to to much rev's , and i think with the power and rev's Glenns is making he will forever be bending rods, they are ti pushrods which have been through a toughening process ,i use ti retainers and ive had all the rocker arms toughend so if anything is going to bend or break it will be the rocker assembly where it is fixed to the head that is cast .
Nothing to do with rpm and I don't really want ti ones neather not to worry carry on with standard ones I think thanks anyway

so if its not high revs that bend pushrods what causes it ?
so if its not high revs that bend pushrods what causes it ?
Mine bends them at 5500 rpm so I would say its the 280 lbft it's a vertical climb at 40 psi of boost from a big blower. High revs and valve bounce can cause it but I don't get valve bounce on mine pal
steer from the rear
31-03-2012, 11:00
so are we saying its cylinder pressure that causes it? is it intake or exhausts that go usually or a mix of rods?
so are we saying its cylinder pressure that causes it? is it intake or exhausts that go usually or a mix of rods?
Both on 1 cylinder at a time but that was on last engine I have only done 2 Rods this time so far we will just have to see how it gos been using it on the road for the last 2 days and been fine with big ish power comes small problems
9 times out of 10 it's high revs and valves bouncing but not this time so must be cylinder pressure ?
Dave Reed
31-03-2012, 13:24
its probably something to do with asking too much from the pencil tin push rods..
I remember the 1st time i used the gas, i bent 1 on the first run, changed that, and bent all 8 on the next :) i just put it down to cylinder pressure, as i never used to rev mine past 7.
I did uprate them after that though and never had a problem since.
