Hi all little up date


Fitted my new arc airbox with new filters from pipercross


I was concerned about how close the bottom air filter was to the alloy radiator.

so I made a ram air duct from glassfibre and plumbed it in the front bumper :)

Now I have an air tight seal around the bottom filter :)

Well guys

I've always liked the look of the dolphin tail exhaust systems.

So I'm developing a catback system which I can make to order once all development and testing have been completed

We will also be adding the mid-pipe and silenced mid-pipe at a later date

The spec will be 3" bore using 8x5" oval silencer and 4" mandrel 45 deg tail in plain or burnt tip

Below is the master system from which the other systems will be made from jigs

All systems will be T304 stainless and hand tig welded so all systems will be made from hand.

It's early days but what's your guys inputs on this design

Well my big brakes came this week and it's about time I rocked a set on the FD, as we have been dealers for K-Sport and BC coilovers for over 4 years.

I had already removed the ABS and ran my lines inside the cabin for the brake bias valve and line lock.

Anyway here's the pics ppl oh and also Im coming to rotorstock this year :)

I've not sized it up yet but has anyone ever ran the STD 4 pots at the rear?

[Topgear]

When we was bleeding the brakes we found that the master cylinder had a fair amount of movement so I start making up a brace

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f171/Top-end/d8066de2.jpg

[Topgear]

A few more of the brace

Ben a while so I thought a little update was in order

The KSports are working a treat and I'm very happy with them :)

Onto my new takata 3" Belts

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f171/Top-end/f4e5f54e.jpg

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f171/Top-end/23b0c245.jpg

I also found some time to work on the dolphin exhaust it's now on

And by god it's a different car now

I've nor done a DB test yet but I'm guessing it's way under 100db and that's without a cat or midbox

Once I'm happy with the system I will start making these for customers price will be around £250inc vat but + shipping

Ive also now got rid of the diagnostic port :)

Ordered my secondary injector rail now from Dale at DM-Motorsport

What's the best way to go guys with the injectors I was thinking id2000s but 1680s seem so more common an it's what my friend Jake runs in his.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f171/Top-end/1746c87e.jpg

Here's jakes and mine first time they have met awwww

Manifold will be made by me
DM motorsports fuel rail
Id2000 injectors or Bosch 1680s
Turbosmart 1200 FPR
Innovate wideband mtx and datalogic
Maybe twin EGT gauges if I find a good deal on a pair one for each port
STD 550 primary's
Bosch 044 pump
3.5" downpipe into 3" downpipeback system
Trust stock mount cooler
Direct wired coils

[speedjunkie]

I could swear I've seen these before, maybe it was on another forum. I love the dolphin tail exhaust and the gauge cluster for the center, so awesome.

[JShiz]

That's pretty awesome. I wish i had time to do stuff like that.

[Topgear]

Thanks guys i did start a thread in the newbe part of the forum but i never updated it so i started a new thread here.

Next week i hope to start on my new steering pump set up:)

[Fendamonky]

Looks awesome man!

I'm fairly certain I've seen this before, I don't know if it was on here or over on FDUK though.

As for the V-Mounts. I've got the RE:worx bit fitted on mine and I absolutely love it!

It seems like you're one hell of a fabricator, so I'm guessing you'll probably just make your own. If you are going for somebody elses kit though... I'd def take theirs over something like Dragon's.

[Topgear]

Cheers mate you have the best bumper out there :)

[Fendamonky]

Yup, thanks Craig =)

I actually picked it up when I was posted in England (E. Anglia, Huntingdon to be exact), I forget who I got it from.. I'd have to pop over to FDUK and check my old PM's.


I'll tell ya what... I miss the beer and I miss the birds =P

[JhnRX7]

Wow! great work. I love the exhaust work you have done. Do you have any videos of how it sounds?

[Topgear]

Cheers guys :)

Tonight we started on the power steering move to electric pump

I sourced the pump rack wiring for just 30 quid WIN

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f171/Top-end/6509795b.jpg

I'm well happy with the results

The engine bay is starting to look very clean and tidy

Driving the car feels good strong the only diffrance I would say is the steering is a touch heavy but I like that

That's me for this week

Cheers

Craig

One question I do have is I have the Bosch 0280158827/NGI-2 1680cc high resistance injectors

How do I fit these to the lim?? I'm guessing I remove the stock diffusers from the lim, now do I need to fit a rubber cushion or spacer as there isn't anything stopping the injectors dropping down the bigger denso seat.

Cheers

Craig

[Topgear]

This is where the turbo is going to sit now, I spent a few hours tonight finalising the placement for the runners

Thought I would mock up the 3.5" downpipe first before I figger where the wastegate is going to go.

I'm waiting on a 3.5" vband flange set which should be with me in the week so I can finish the downpipe when I have that

On the second runner I'm going to come in from the otherside and bring them both togeather

Last nights work :)

Sorted both wastegate runners into a merge and the watsegate placement for feed back into the bottom of the downpipe.

I couldn't find the vband to match the hotside so I rewelded a 3.5" one in place

BIG THANKS TO JAMES

For helping me till 1200 on Friday night getting my engine stripped to see what we had inside.

We also found the engine was using 3mm seals


I'm in the market for some 3mm conner seals, I'm guessing as I have a receipt from Hurley for the engine from the last owner that there his 3mm apex seals

Has anyone used hurley conner seals with the 3 built in springs

[Prodigy]

Great job so far mate... excited to see the whole thing completed running well etc...

Just so happens I'm working ona 4" intake pipe to mount the filter inside the v-mount

Not much to update as of late been mega busy at work and I'm just getting some miles on the engine TOB this Sunday as well

Check the site above the guy took some great photos .... This was at a Honda meet lol

Hi sorry for the delay in updates

The RA 2 stroke is working very well, the old tank I made did around 400 miles before I had to top up this was around 500ml

I've now had to make a bigger tank as I have fitted a new upper and lower 13b-RE manifold, the new tank holds 1 ltr :)

As for her running she feels great at the moment I'm running 6psi at the moment, when I'm back from Italy next week I'm going to start doing some more boost logs and getting that boost up :)

Anyway here's what I've been doing most would of seen at rotor stock

Cold intake ( I hope to be mounting the pee turbo water kit in this pipe)

Id1000cc

And

Update time

I've now sold my T04R and gone with the Borg Warner S300sx Aka the S366 , this was the turbo I was really after before I went single last year.

WOW she's a bigone lucky for me the turbo fitted my TGS manifold so I don't have to re-make that.

It was clear I would have to move my Intercooler to the o/s a little and it would need to come closer to the front panel.

Well this made me move the rest of the wiring in the bay out and tucked so now there isn't a single body loom wire in the bay :)

[RICE RACING]

FUCK!

(click on one page, and just kept looking through all your posts on the build!) You have put in some work here! I take me pants off to you :willy_nilly:
Excellent fabrication and do everything style.

If ever you need a hand or want someone to bounce ideas off feel free to pm me.

Best Regards

Peter

p.s. sorry if I forgot you Craig? I get jizzillions of e-mails and contact form kuuunts all over the world and I see I recommend you find this site, I just can't remember talking to you over e-mail? maybe when I was on fduk? anyway.......... def keep in touch dude, you have some abilities! and its sick as fuck to see more kunnnnts like you building stuff like this.

[Topgear]

Cheers peter I've followed your build for a long time now and what you have done is amazing. My wife is moving out to Perth in jan to see it we can make a living out there. When I was there in jan the heat was crazy.

If you still have your link ecu in a few months I might get her to buy for me :)

Next on the list is a bigger intercooler, pre tubs water and lots of boost ;)

One day I might get chance to come over an pay you a visit

Wire in the Power steering pump to a switch inside the car
Wrap downpipe
Finish intercooler setup or go for a bigger core just waiting on prices for a bigger core
Water/meth
Then mapping which this time I'm going to do all on my own eeeekk lol

There is prob loads more lol

[Topgear]

Ok update

Not much really has happened lol just loads of small bits like wiring

The Cosmo lim and upper was removed as I wanted to re pant them black the red was just to much for me

While it was off I port matched the plenum block to the upper and RW throttle body and also have it all a good polish :)

[RICE RACING]

Pete on the uk I'm forum I getting stick for where I have mounted my tank they say it will heat soak to much from the engine will this be a problem

It's a forum, most on them are stupid and have never done anything in their lives lol.

I have my tank in the same space, and have logs of driving my car for an hour straight and the tank will never ever heat up lol. IF you let the car sit after running it then of course the tank will get warm, takes a f7cking long time for that to happen though@!

I found those english forums gay. I don't post on them anymore. Should not read/post on any forum really, but I cant help myself :willy_nilly:

p.s. the temp of the water has 2 fifths of f7ck all difference to how WI works anyway, so its a non concern heat soaked or not.

[Topgear]

Lol I thought the same I predict the water temp to be close to the pressure source temp but only test will prove


Thanks again for your help

[RICE RACING]

Lol I thought the same I predict the water temp to be close to the pressure source temp but only test will prove


Thanks again for your help

There is so much energy required to change the temperature of water its unreal, to give you an example. I leave my car overnight (temp say 12deg C) the water tank is cool to touch. go for drive for an hour to friends place, stop chat with him kick about, go for drive to show off car ........ come back talk more crap, jump in drive back 1 hour home and you know what the tank is still cool to touch, it is by no means hot, and is more a reflection of the ambient temperature of the day you run the car from the air flow into the engine bay.

Most of the f7ckwit opinions from forums are from kuuuunts who have never done anything or dont even have running cars lol. Just sh7t kuuuunts who type garbage and or otherwise are pests lol.

Your location is fine ;) its the same as mine :)

[RICE RACING]

p.s. it is such a great location and works so well that I use my tank as my fuel cooler too ;) it has a fuel coil build into the tank :) little secret trick, well not so secret now LOL.

I have posted up logs of my fuel temp after a 1 hr run too, people just need to look at all of the stuff I have typed over the years :)

[Topgear]

I did eye spy that in your build ;) rice water master ;)

Was a very nice touch and a great idea I'm sure no one would of ever thought of doing it that way love ur work

[Topgear]

I'm happy and once she is all done I can run some tests

[Topgear]

Once in running I will prove them wrong lol

[RICE RACING]

Once in running I will prove them wrong lol

It's all been proven before lol

1942 Republic Air Plane Company built the best most famous water injected turbocharged plane ever that still to this day holds speed record and highest ever piston engine output in long term tests and it had its WM50 tank located in the engine bay lol.

All of this stuff has been proven before in history, like I said on that dickhead UK forum, if it were not for water injection you kuuuuunts would be eating sausage and speaking german now lol.

The arguments are nothing new or a surprise, it does not matter what topic, ports, seals, water injection, ignition systems lol the only constant is you are talking with (on those forums the general populace who are wannabe's in life, with no technical ability, let alone skills of any use !) most are pretenders and pay to play nut swingers, just cock jockeys outright, nothing more nothing less.

You sort out the shit from the clay pretty quick ;) and like I always say, if you have a FAST FD prove it! you will see in the true street car scene you can count them on one hand lol.......... especially when it comes to PROOF! not many can prove anything other than that they are keyboard whores and sh7t kuuuuunts in the extreme

:smash:

Keep up the good work and don't get hung up on talking with Parrots on forums :D

[Topgear]

Ok the tank is nearly done just waiting on a level sensor :)

Made up the baffle plate for inside the sump

[grantrx4]

good attention to detail. i see you have the clipped turbine wheel, i do too:)

Ok everything on the tank is finished

Level sensor fitted this will switch on a small red light on the dash once the level is below halfway

Tank holds 3.5ltrs :)

[Erdin]

Thats a mighty fine system you got there:)

[Topgear]

Why thank you kind sir :) MWI systems you know

[RICE RACING]

For your 6mm nylon tubing here is a trick to make it more PRO (lol)

Put a piece of electrical wire up it (to stop tube from collapsing) and heat it up gently with a heat gun and BEND it to suit your application :) it then stays in position perfectly and looks sick as fuck :)

I have mine routed in all kinds of places, and in hot environments I sleeve it as well. Little tricks you learn over 20 years ;)

[Erdin]

Would that trick still work for 8mm hose?

[Topgear]

I will try it out tomorrow Peter and report back thanks for that :)

[Topgear]

It took me a few try's as I kept getting the cable stuck in the tube, but then I found if I lubed the wire and moved it while heating I could bend away

[Topgear]

Little update

Have put my order in for a nice large intercooler but she is going to take around 30-40 days :( after that the car should be done

Tonight I got to work making up a shot blasting cabinet

Then I stuck the red upper and lower cosmo manifolds in there

This has to be the best tool I've made/bought no more sending stuff out to be cleaned.

I'm going to keep the manifold this way now as it matches my turbo

[RXtacy]

Looks good :icon_tup:

You might want to clear coat the manifolds, as they can oxidize over time.

[Topgear]

Few more shots of a quick mock up of the intake system, I will be removing this lot again to apply the heat treatment sheets to the lim and under the upper

Quick update nothing big

I have the intercooler sized up and ready to be made now so soon as that's ready I should be back on the road

I am still on the look out for a GM 3bar map sensor

Anyways after cleaning up the intake I had to redo all the heat shielding so that's what I've been upto this afternoon

Enjoy

[vst8]

very nice build. i want your vmount setup.

[Topgear]

I will be offering the new v-mount kit on my website in a few months once I have all the testing done keep your eyes peeled

[Topgear]

Im forever moving on with my systems and trying new things so with this new build comes a new lighter system

As I have the tooling with this system I wanted to try tight spring slip joints for the centre to rear system

The start of the rear system with 3" flange upto 3.5" slip joint so the 3.5" system can be used with the stock cat pipe

Is that an oil restrictor on the turbo inlet or is it just an adapter to the oil line off the turbo?
Want some sound vids of it boosting up!

It's very light and I will still have to trim and cut the holes for the rad and cooler,I'm happy with the way it's turned out

[RICE RACING]

Honestly mate, hurry up and move to Australia!
You will make a killing here with your skills you are showing, and there is lots of drug proceeds that are laundered here so money is no object for lots of customers.
UK and US are broke ass motherfuckers compared to us, you need to move and move now!

[Topgear]

Sounds like a job offer :)

My plan is to be there middle of 2015 , my misses has been there now for 6 months working and she brings in more than I do lol.....

Your right the uk is fucked most customers want everything for nothing more so now than ever.....And the goverment don't help

When I do get to your home land I need to find a shop that works well and isn't full of retards untill then i couldnt even think about starting again on my own

Maybe give some pointers to people who want to undertake some fiber glass work?
that duct looks excellent btw.

[Topgear]

Ok lower duct is finished I stone chipped the duct to match my chassis legs which I did last year then a coat of Matt black

Once everything is in you can't really see the duct at all lol

But I do have plans for an upper duct I just need the balls to cut my bonnet or I need to find a plain OEM style glass fibre bonnet or a cheap as chips carbon one

Anyway onto the ram air ducting ;)

Pic with the cooler out gives you a better idea

I also sealed the rad and later the cooler to the ducting with foam 7mm weather stripping to unsure air tight seal

So out with the old slam panel and in with a new TGS one ;)

Not really a good photo I will get more tomorrow when I get some time to finish it I may even tie into the lower front intercooler mount for added strength... But even now it feels stronger than what I had left there after cutting to get the cooler in place

Thanks to concept 7 for making me a OEM glass bonnet so I can start on the next big body mod ;)

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zpsa26196f6.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zpsd64133eb.jpg

And one thing I must say these guy know how to pack a bonnet first class service :)

[grantrx4]

Car is looking really good bud:D I think that rear bumper is probably one of a few which actually suit the car. Are you thinking of getting the rear arches to match the rear bumper which you can just see in one of the pics you posted?

Loving the fish eye lens shots, have just got a fish eye converter for our camera

[Topgear]

Thank you very much bud I do plan on somthing for the arches just not made my mind up yet

Need to start work in my bonnet and finish my base map then I will move onto more bodywork :)

[Topgear]

Hi guys been a while now I've had a lot on and still mountins of work still to do, work is been crazy this summer along with that we had both of our severs attacked which took all my spare time to sort.

I've still got the shop online and secure but the main site had to be removed and restarted from the start so for now please only use www.topgearstockport.co.uk while I rebuild a better site on the old www.topgearstockport.com sever

Anyways

Onto what little work I've done to the Rex over the past month

Mapping is going well and I'm now at 12psi ready for the water meth at 13psi but..... Just not had time to get out the shop to get my meth so can't go any higher than 12psi

I'm also planning another nurburg trip at the start of October so I need to get my car fully ready for then.

My need to do list for the ring is

Tyres
New stronger brake lines and new rear braided lines
Brake bias valve to remove the stock one from my system
If time permits finish the last part of the flat floor
Will also have to do somthing with my screamer pipe

As a side note I ended putting a large 8" round silencer at the rear now my exhaust is 88db @ 3000 rpm :)

Onto what little I've done

If you remember concept 7 made me OEM style hood the quality was 100% and seemed a shame to cut the bugger up but hay it's what I do for the greater good

I like to work quick but due to work and the above this has taken me a lot of time to get to this stage just wish we had more days in the week

The planed cut lines

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zps207e899f.jpg

The start of cutting away the frame
http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zps8e4e06b7.jpg

:) big hole in my hood :)

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zps7a102f80.jpg

Nice bit of flex
http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zps42a60f83.jpg

Now I didn't get a photo but formed the most upper part of the curve to begin the curve I started from the drill holes and went upto 20 deep halfway down

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc356/TopGearStockport/null_zps6a40f8d4.jpg

Ok update time

Very happy with the way things are going, we had to notch the roof cross as they come as complete long bars but no problem :)

Ok update time been a bit slow as of late being mega busy at TG and getting the online store running again :)

Brakes you need them and Jon @ MinotaurRacing once again helped out with a much better pedel box, much like the OBP design but Jon's box is stronger and also includes mounts for the brake and clutch switches

I will update soon with photos of the box but for now here are a few shots of the pots mounted to the dash bar ;)

Dry carbon front clam shell just under 6kg in total weight once I find time I will be putting
My seven on a diet and sliming her down to what I hope will be around 850-890kg in total weight ;)

Hello from New Mexico, I will try this again, tried yesterday and the servers wouldn't talk to each other. Dave here and let me say your work is awesome. As many times as you had that car apart you need to invent stainless Velcro. That could save you a lot time. I wish you all the luck in the future and if you make the move to Au I know you be welcomed with your talents. Keep posting you and your work are a treat.

Gee I didn't mean to scare you away. I come here everyday for my fix and go away crying. Hope you come back soon. Dave
