Will it be sucking warm air in with those air filters ? It scares me

It not as good as getting them down the front but no room at all...the air goes through an intercooler and then water injection so will be fine by the time it gets to the engine.

absolutely bonkers! love it!

What is your target power?

Going to start at I would imagine 600-700 I don't think it will get any lower on 6.3 with 7lb Wastegate Springs

I suppose I better get in the garage and finish mine off to give you some competition

The only other Chimaera that will be close will be macs monster at present

[neal1980]

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.

No ls3 is 6.2.. I spent months planning every part and only place they could go

Its all in there just

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

Cheers pupp were both in the diy club..

And the turbos are like that for a reason you will see

[neal1980]

Thanks for all the comments def a men in sheds build here.

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






will try and answer more questions tomorrow.

Does it have traction control ?

It will have Daz, I plan to put racelogic on it but with all the bits its about 1.5k.

It has adjustable boost on the steering wheel so I can tame the beast until I save some pennies

I expect it would run a 10 without breaking a sweat.
Soon in the 9's then who knows

It better run 10's easily else its going in the bin

9's would be very nice

What tyres for the strip?
All comes down to traction

need to order some ET streets?? Same as you and Brummie i'm on 888's at the minute there not gonna do a fat lot.

Just uploading a video at the min need to chop it about from Macs 65billion meg video.

Fired first turn of the key..running on an old 4.6 Map with exhaust only under the block hence the loudness. New exhaust to be made next week I hope

NickOrangeTVR said:

What water injection system are you using Neal? and on what basis does it inject? - seems like the perfect solution for the Turbo tho.

Cheers again

Nick - I'm running 2 Aquamist systems (not plumbed in yet fully) going to inject 1 x 0.5mm jet in each turbo (pre turbo) and 1 x 1mm jet in the inlet pipe just before the TB.

Had a single system when it was a rover engine and you could see the temps tumble when activated but it never got crazy hot with the big front mount intercooler anyway.

Would love to see a photo documented story in TVRCCs Sprit mag?

Funny you should mention that had an email from them...so think I better join up

[neal1980]

I have at last moved house so able to finish off the build. Just the exhaust to do now big thanks to Mac who has helped me yesterday to get almost all of it done. Just one more push and the car will be done

Looking forward to racing it

You better stick some more nitrous jets in then

SILICONEKID345HP said:

Is there a chance of the exhaust catching the chassis when the engine moves ?

Every chance lol

But will cross any problems when I have too...its definitely tight running the 6 speed gearbox size wise but I got to get 2 x 2.5" pipes down the side to not compromise the power.

Sssppgg had the same gearbox / pipe setup in his car and that was ok so fingers crossed
