Nice car
What paint is on your cam cover?Comment
-
Looks awesome Dave! Cant wait to see it finished!
The paint is high temperature crackle black paint. Used a heat gun on the parts when spraying which helps it to crackle and cure.Comment

Good progress HamishChefComment

excellent mod for coils and sensors only criticism is braided pipes for wastegate and oil feed look routed untidy but otherwise great buildComment

Amazing work Hamish.
I like the way you plumbed your WG. Pressurising the upper chamber to control the boost allows for very aggressive boost control.

Well Hamish, how did you get on during your weeks off?
In case you haven't already done it, I think video's of it firing for the first time would be AWESOME!Comment

Thanks hamish for letting me have a look at the car on Sunday, just to let everyone know it looks much much better than the pics show it's a cracker of a car. I will be in touch re my project once mr Edwards g/box is sorted. Keep up the good work"...........regards Mark..Comment

Glad it was of some help to see the car Mark. Just give me a shout when you are ready to chop them up.
Failed in my 2 weeks off because the centre of the adjustable camwheel was machined off centre. So I am waiting on another coming before it can be fired up.Comment

Managed to get it almost ready to fire up but then came up against an issue with the cam pulley. The centre had been machined off centre by over a mil. Only noticed when the cambelt was put on and tensioned then it lost tension as it was turned over! That now sorted with a new centre which is spot on.
The last bit I had to fabricate on the engine was a cover for the dry sump belt and cambelt. The standard cambelt cover didn't fit anymore becasue I am using a wider cambelt than standard. I never understand people running with them un-guarded? Always a chance of debris or other auxilary belts taking out the important ones!
So I fabricated the dry sump guard from scratch:
I based the cambelt guard on the standard backing plate heavily modified with edges added to it to make it deeper.
Then I made an alloy front cover, and seperate side cover plate so the belts can still be removed with everything in place.
All trial fitted whilst I was waiting for the new cam sprocket
So with that done I got oil around the whole system which can be done by sliding the belt off and putting a drill onto the oil pump. I also got the fuel run around the whole system. So I am just waiting on the loom being finished then it will be fired up.Comment
