Finally

[Thevet]

So after nearly 4 years of painful rebuild, my monster is alive



So, we have 700 crank HP, some plug issues to sort before another .1-2 bar of boost gets added leading to a genuine 850hp on 850kg, all parameters looking good so far, mate behind me in the ferarri said tyres were smoking and exhausts on fire........videos will be recorded soon, so thanks to Mike from Boost Performance, Henry from TripleH , Andy at the factory, and Simon from MyAutoElectronics, it is amazing to get back to reliability and even better, to smile performance. There will be more pics soon

looking great. Do you think you can squeeze anything more into that engine bay.

I'm hoping nothing else is needed, twin turbo installs are always busy, maybe that's why the factory seem to favour supercharging? Anyway, water-meth is in place just not active yet, it's not for performance just reliability by reducing intake temps.
Tried getting some more pics tonight but decided they showed a far too dirty car from the weekend's runs, so a bit of cleaning and I'll post some more.

Fantastic to see this come together after such a long journey

Can't see you getting many offers to do routine maintenance in that engine bay ............!

Congratulations on a job well done, great symmetrical install on the engine, particularly like the short runs from the turbo to the intake with just 2 bends. How’s the heat management in the engine bay? Does the shielding around the exhaust pipes work ?
Regards Tim

Thanks for the comments, and yes the space is a pain, as witnessed by all the scrapes on my hands and arms. However, one of the most positive findings is the exhaust wrap from Thermo-Met, absolutely amazing effect, How often have we burned arms/hands while trying to check/tighten some piece while the engine is still hot? With the cover, you can touch the wrapped exhaust safely immediately after running. Not only better for me but also keeps the bay cooler under the rear clip. This should be helped by the side scoops and the roof scoop once it's fitted. As for routine maintenance, why would I need anybody else? Good to hear from you again Stuart.
One thing not shown are the wastegates now rerouted out through the rear clip, thet look similar to the mclaren 600 when on song, just not quite as dramatic. Another bit I forgot, was a thank you to the factory for their continued excellent service, esp Andy.
Anyway, hopefully some more pics soon although the week ahead is wet so not much chance of playing.

Very nice, more pics and details please. A video with sound would be great.

[Thevet]

I will try but as an OAP soon to be, such techy stuff can be challenging x

[845ste]

many interesting modifies. can you post many photos ant/post please?
what coating for heat and what glue did you use for the post clam?

[confusionhunter]

Amazing Tim! Maybe I can see it in the flesh next year at some point on a local ish run? Get the band back together

[Thevet]

Of course, hoping for a knockhill run next weekend but the weather is looking grim. Irrespective, I will be out and about ........a bit so get the gang back on the road lol
