I thought I would try to keep a thread on this up-grade,

new header tank bracket

fuel rails

new cable bracket

headers ceramic coated black

turbo oil feed pipe

wing box for cold air feed,yet to be painted

new intercooler pipe,this will be powder coated in red like the inlet manifold

GT3076R Turbo

oil and water pipes to the turbo

pipe to the power steering,now cut down and ran along the chassis.
Thats it for now,more to come....

I just had a little sex wee.

that is one hell of an engine a true credit to you

Nice one Chris. Wing box makes a lot of sense!!

by **Chris B** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 3:35 pm

This is a picture of the engine before these latest mods so you will be able to compare things,the old turbo,up-pipe,down pipe,headers,fuel pump,inlet manifold,induction kit, dump valve are all being changed on this up-grade,the dump valve will be fitted into the intercooler pipe,an air-injector kit will replace the 3 port boost solenoid.

Just got the alternator polished by Terry,a friend of mine,not the best picture but it looks like chrome.

Matt Clark has just had a couple of custom made hoses finished for the car,one is for the header tank and the other for the intercooler to the turbo,Matt rang me tonight to say it should be ready by the weekend,I will pop up tomorrow to get some more pics,not long now.......

by **WR 1mposter** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:53 pm

go get the sleeping bag out, camp outside until it's done and send me pics first :wink:

by **Chris B** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:38 pm

These are the custom hoses made for the car.

The hose was shaped to wrap around the wheel arch taking hot air back to the front mount.

Fuel lines taking shape all braided and covered with nomex to keep heat away.

Car should be ready in the next week or so,just in time for its winter hibernation.

Alternater now in place.

New intercooler pipe just back from powder coating,the dump valve will be fitted in the pipe,the same as the Gobstopper.

by **Chris B** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 9:31 pm

The lightweight pulleys and oil filler cap have been stripped and are being nickel plated.

by **jimmy** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:03 pm

that is a beast,i bet the turbo is loud,how many hp when finished?

by **Chris B** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 6:27 am

Approx 520-550bhp

by **jimmy** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 8:15 pm

wtf!!and it will look standard aswell right?imagine how many folk you will catch out thinking its just a standard 1 :shock:

by **danr55** » Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:39 pm

Awesome work guys, this is going to be great when it's done!

by **Chris B** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 7:28 pm

Not long now,intercooler pipes all powder coated......

The Tial dump valve is now fitted into the intercooler pipe

Air injector kit to control boost more accurately than the standard 3 port boost soleniod.

Cold air box now painted 23G,to blend in and look more OEM,but remember this is RCM.

by **Chris B** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 7:48 pm

Turbo is a GT3076R.

by **CAVEMAN** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:49 pm

fook me...that is some work gone into this...

do you have a fully built engine too?

Might as well just make an offer for the 'other' RCM car and paint it 23G...might be cheaper!

love to see what you get outta it when its being dialled in...you using Motec?

by **Azyman** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 4:09 pm
