Just had TTS do a full 1400cc stroker conversion on my stock SR3. Here's some pics taken today when I collected it from TTS's premises in Northampton:-



Large Intercooler now occupies space previously used for airbox. Custom exhaust uses 2 standard Hayabusa silencers and the car is now half as noisy as it was.




Close up of Intercooler. You can also see the Supercharger under the 2 black subframe members to the left of the Intercooler.




The stock airscoop now cools the Intercooler (notice the blow-off valve on it's front) as well as the Intercooler oil cooler mounted in front.




New carbon-fibre induction intake scoop. Kinda sexual

From another angle.




The important bit. Peak rear-wheel power up from 149HP to 265HP. Yee-ha

Picked up some very pricey C14 racing fuel - 121RON/114Octane at - wait for it - £2.88 +VAT per litre I will find a more reasonable source but I have over 100 Litres for the weekend.

I'll be at the Easytrack trackday at Oulton Park on . I just hope it all holds together.

That is v cool

Where did you get the carbon intake duct from? Reverie?

What's the refresh time like on these?

Cheers

Looks the part.
Simon Heaps has one that ran at Snet. last Britsports. Sounded good and went like an Exocet, but was unreliable. I think installation rather than structural failiure.
Keen to hear how it runs, and if the additional horses strain the chassis particularly at mountings.

with kind regards
