Diary - 427TT install

You will need to seriously look into heat management around those manifolds, plug leads etc.

I hear they run better on the dyno with the bonnet up, so figured to get rid of the bonnet altogether

Here we go again

Fantastic pics Harry. It will be worth the wait. I wonder if Monfish had a few more of the exhausts cut to size at the same time? I hope so - and that could explain why they are selling their second-hand single turbo kit on the Ute

Harry - how much longer do you think it's going to take for the rest of the installation/mapping etc ?

That looks like an LT1 Pontiac Transam in the background too

I have followed this with great interest, and have one question - is it me, or are those turbos feckin' enormous???

Ha, it doesnt matter what I think, only what Roger can deliver. I set him a target to finish in time to run at vmax on 11/11 though. Lets see

They're about the right size for a gt37

Nice to see it coming together but to me that looks like a chargecooler rad rather than an intercooler one as those outlets look every small - correct ?

Keep up the good work

You're right of course. One mans chargecooler is another mans air to water intercooler

Fair enough, so that leads to the next question, if space is soo tight where have you managed to find the room for the heat exchanger(s)

Aha! They're in the plenum. A custom design of Mikes, incorporating a twin throttle body, the heat exchangers, water injection and twin injectors (if we need to up the fuel flow).
With all that going on let's hope it works!

Awesome work.. I love that!

Superb thread, I hope it's still at Rogers when I visit in a couple of weeks so I can have a look.
Have you considered any vents in the bonnet as per Aston Martin/Jaguar XKR to get some heat away from those manifolds. The CV8 bonnet fits very tightly across the top of the engine ??

I'd be interested to see the bonnet shut with that throttle body/butterfly arrangement?

Pah, bonnet, who needs a bonnet!

The big bad wolf had one....

Bloody hell! Are you taking your pilots licence before you dare take that thing out???
