On a side note...does anyone know what type of end is on the throttle cable (pedal end) I cant get in there with it in the garage.

Standard cylindrical type nipple (oooh-err mrs!)

...... Built an absolute monster, to a very high standard


Can't figure out a small cable



Can't wait to see this thing Neal..

OMG well done! When i bought your old diff you were heating parts in the oven - amazing job to build everything yourself, and with virtually no room in the garage - you deserve an award. Hope it all works as you planned. I am in awe.

Is it an LS3 ? You must of spent a`lot of time just on research ,finding out what parts to use .

You could have got the turbos level

Absolutely loopy; best thing built by a man in a shed for years! Doubt you'll have any air temperature issues with the filters there - mine is drawing from much the same location and is fine so far

Your carrying on the work peter Wheeler started. TVR is heart and sole and you have bundles of it.

[Driver101]

You are gonna need bigger tyres!
Dyno Torque Craigs 6.9ltr twin turbo was 1017bhp, so that gives you a rough idea!

[SteveSPG]

that engine and turbo combination will provide over 1000.

next step is to cut a hole through the seat base, and the floor, to let the inevitable brown stuff drain, 'cos theres going to be a lot of it.

[Richard 858]

Neal, I certainly hope you'll make it to Burghley I'm looking forward to seeing it complete and "in the flesh" so to speak, it is a thing of wonder.

Did I read that correctly - 4 fuel pumps!?!?!

really hope you can make it to Shakey Neal!

Me too bloke, working on it. Even if it can't run a time [not enough miles on it] be good to see it drive there.

[Mr Plow]

That looks mental.

Planning to go to shakey to watch the other chimaera's. Be great to see it there.

[MarkTVRchim]

Absolutely fantastic what a man in a shed can achieve. I thought my Chimaera was mad, yours is bonkers. Well done that man!

[neal1980]

Got it back on the floor tonight the engine looks MEAN!
