They are no use in a folder. Get em scanned in and up on here. If you don't own a scanner go purchase one. :)

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Denis O'Brien.

Little bit of progress:

Started bolting car together for dry build. Also painted a few bits blue:

SHIT That is hot ! Looks beautiful !

Whats the planned engine spec ?

"So wat we gonna do tonight Brain?"
"Same thing we do evernight Pinky!"
"Try to take over the world!"

I'm still inbetween minds whether to go k1100 or normal 5 port (both turbo)

Just wanna get it all on wheels then its engine build time.

Looking good.

I feel the need to drill holes in my subframes....

looking great

a quick heads up though, you might run into problems with the brake resevoirs at the level

bar that, keep up the good work !

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I'd agree with Joey regarding the remote reservoirs, other than that though it looks super!

Hmm not really anywhere else to put them though, they are slightly higher than the inlets on the M/C's but i guess its the hose thats gonna cause problems.

Where would you reccomend if any of you guys have mounted them before?

The other option you have with the pots is put a 90 on the bottom of it?

Collected up some bits today...



Bmw 8v head
SC conversion kit
Omega pistons
Quaife S/C gear set
etc...

looking great, going to be a very nice car by the looks of it!

8v ???

You girl, it needs to be 16v

Rick

Yup bit dissapointed its only 8v, but this was a job lot of bits (still more to come yet) for a very very good price.

May update to 16v at a later date, as from what i can understand other than more pockets in the pistons it should be a straight swap.

And of course it will be turbo charged.

If you plan on changing to 16v then I get the impression that it will be big bore but a big bore turbo will go above 1400cc? With the composite roof too I assume you're going up against all the big boys? Are you sticking with your 1293 bottom end?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm sure I read about your intended class before but I had a quick scan of the thread and didn't see anything

Yeah because of the roof and front end its automatically in the sports libra class before we even talk about engines.

Yeah sticking with 1293cc for the moment i think. Tbh need some guidance really as this k conversion is all new to me. This lot came up at a good price so will see if its useable and will go from there i guess.

is it the lack of inner wings or composit front end that makes it go into sports libre?

Roof is the main problem, some clubs will allow the front as it is. The regulations state that is must be steel up to the wheel centreline.

JohnK is the man to talk to about twin cam stuff. His kit has evolved massively over the last couple of years. Other than block prep it's nearly bolt on. He can pocket pistons etc. for you
