If I knew how, I would!

Awesome project!
someone needs to get a few videos up for you so we can all fantasise

Yeh!

Propper crap video, and the lack of exhaust just fills the cabin with smoke. But you get the idea!

Small update for now, although there's been quite a bit going on

Had to remake the oil return as it ran straight through my new downpipe location


Also had to make new coolant lines as the n/a ones were too short



Made up most of my brake lines, but had to mount the brake bias to finish the rear line off. So am just finishing up this





Got a few more jobs planned for the weekend, then I'm hoping to be able to drive it out of the garage for the 1st time with the new engine

Very nice

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Is that genuine carbon fibre ?

thats a very nice project.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

finish date set for project 1... march 2018

Throttle pedal now done as well.



Needs a grip pad fitting, but weighs 62 grams as is

Fitted the reservoirs.



Was struggling for somewhere to put them. But this seems ok, I think!

Also nearly finished making the brake lines, but miscounted the fittings so need to order 2 more.

Like

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Lovely.

Carnt help think those reservoir pipes could be shorter though ?

Same here, if you go shorter where the reservoirs are now it starts to kink next to the cylinder.

Might move them closer so that I can shorten the hoses....

Ahh , yes I see.

That pedal looks stunning

Nice pedal. Is it one piece design, all cured at once?

Looks great that pedal.

With regards to the cylinders, is that the correct plumbing? On mine the top would be outlet rather than going to reservoir.

Yes, 4 piece mould. All cured in one go, then bonded to the aluminium

That's how mine are plumped mate,

3/8 fitting at the bottom is the outlet.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Mine are wilwood to. A different type though so that is probably why!

A new titanium addition to the project!



Going to stop major progress for 8 weeks though 😕
