Nice project so far!
Is there available a bigger picture of dyno results?
For what power outputs the wagner EM is made for?

[gedu]

Unfortunately I don't have larger picture of that "baseline" dyno plot. Think I binned the original dyno slip right after scanning it.

I have no definite power figures for that manifold, but gossip is that it can support at least 7xxhp power levels, and has pretty much as even flow as 1 chamber manifold can have. Also it get's bonus for "stock-like" appearance, how many MOT officers would think that a cast manifold in a car would in fact be performance part

On another note, my intercooling solution was binned, 5x6" pwr core can't support power levels I'm going to generate, and 6x6" core is just too big to fit in place of original stamp of a intercooler.

Some of parts going into this build are in fact going to be used also when I can get my stroker bottom end built (will take time as parts DO cost money for some reason )

More pr0n

This arrived today with other things needed for cambelt change:





Made of steel

[Bram]

Where did you purchase it if I may ask?

[gedu]

Well, I got it from that same Teppo that sourced and installed my VEMS. I think it's manufactured in sweden or norway, but cannot be sure.

Brake Disks, chargecooler, aux-rad for chargecooler, chargecooler pump (will be using identical pump for after-cooling function.) have arrived. Most of motor parts are in FeDex hands here in Finland, waiting for customs bill. Also got Schroth ASM seat belts. Now waiting for exhaust to arrive, so that I can MOT car before starting heavy disassembly/assembly. Goodridge brake hoses are also on order. Pics, as soon as I can make a presentable studio for things

Some parts





For safety


For cooling down, even after turbo timer, and keeping that charge cool.


Good, plain injector connector.


We'll see how this fares.


CD for giving some scale of sizes. Aux-rad for chargecooler.

Rest of bits are in garage 8km away from my home, will try to snap some pictures tomorrow.
