Re: New car and parts for 2012
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 .

Re: New car and parts for 2012

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:

Re: New car and parts for 2012
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?

when we went over 100bhp of gas and 36psi of boost it used to blow the spark out every time we tried too

Re: New car and parts for 2012
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 :)
