P1 Scooby! that is all.

 

[Law22]

Yea thinking is200 or altezza. Do like altezza's but there expensive. And p1 scooby is abit out of my price range I think

New wheels, woooooooooooooo :drool:

They are steel, so extremely heavy and function over form is very much my style. But I really had to have these, at £240 a set brand new delivered I couldn't pass it up.

Also I need the ET0 offset for the latest project by a friend of mine...... billeted hubs, already started reverse engineering an original set, as to make some with greater lock and zero effects on geometry when lowered.

Wheels are 15 X 8 ET0, with a 3.5inch dish.

Wow! Only just got round to looking at this. Haven't read it all - I couldn't really be bothered.

For saying you're a bit of a nobber, you're car is pretty awesome - can't wait to see those wheels on! I shall also be watching the hub development closely too!

What kind of power are you aiming for Nobber?

Don't be scared to run plenty of rubber on those bud, 8j et0 fits fine under the arches

Haha thanks Sketchy, my delivery of build thread is somewhat lacking. 'Here is a Turbo, insert photo' and 'I did a drift, insert photo' is the best I can do. Not a very imaginative person.

Anything above 160 Nobber Powers and I will be happy, only running 320cc's injectors which is the limiting factor. Happy for a lower power yet reliable position.

See I haven't run stretch tyre thing before, whats the best. Ideally I want to maximise tyre width, 195/45 is what I was think, really I want 205 wide.

Happy to roll and hammer my arches around.

Like the wheels mate seen the company on Facebook do some decent offsets and big dish

195/45 will give good feed back but 205 better. But with 205, if your running lowish you may need some arch work yes. Saying that I'm running 205 on a 9j et0 with just a small role

 

[Law22]

Haha to good or to scared you will get addicted to it. It's good for car bits and that.

Nothing too productive this weekend, busy helping a fellow nutzer on Saturday and I'm waiting for a clear weekend to fab my exhaust up.

Nonetheless my injectors came back from Autotronix Developments, they went away filthy and I was doubting their capability, but they were actually flowing rather well.

Being 320cc they are somewhat limiting now im running Megasquirt MS1, but its a start and will allow me to upgrade diff and clutch before winding the boost up.

Bit of a pain in the arse getting the old ones out that hadn't moved for 22 years, but in the end they are in.

Heat wrapped the brake line seeing as it is so close to the down pipe,

What the fuck is going on with the weather, earlier in the day I was getting withdrawal sysptoms from not having a roof down in the sunshine. Then it rains heavy, which turns to hail, then briefly turned to snow!

15 minutes of it and it builds up to this, feels sorry for the people on the Somerset levels.

Eyeing up my new wheels

Also I neatly routed my vacuum points for the MS1.

Apparently stickers are for children.... so I use permanent pen

All in all my list of 'to do' is somewhat getting shorter. Basically build an exhaust system, tap the oil return, then sort the ECU.

Drift day at the end of march, so aiming to get it up and running healthy before then.

Just had a quick skim, sexual! I shuold probably get a build thread of my car up lol.

Also, how much was it to get the injectors cleaned? My unc is having issues with his oil burner and apparently it's injectors so I figured he could send them off for a good clean.

Cheers bud, basically page 1 is all drift photos and stuff, rest it turbo buildness.

£45, for cleaning, flow testing, and replacement seals.

Yeah do one, everyone should have one in my eyes.

 

[Driftmonkey]

I think you can squeeze a bit more out your injectors with a rrfpr with some success.
Might be worth a look up

 

[towelie]

Just skim read this, looking good!

Where did you get the compressor flange adaptors from.. ebay?

If I were you i'd keep an eye out for a set of rx8 injectors.. boost IS addictive!

also whats the turbo from is that a gtir turbo?

Basically I'm building up a replacement turbo kit for my car built around an s14 t28 an a hks manifold.. hoping to go around the 250 mark! 200 wasn't enough!

Thanks for the comments bud :thumb-up: .

Compressor flanges adaptors here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321034984602?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390558845594?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

That is my plan, get a set of RX8's get them cleaned and and likely install a GT28R turbo. Possibly looking at some EV14's as a counterpart.

From my very little research I believe its from a late SR20DET, due to the bolt on inlet. Yummy 250 would be nice, and likely my next goal. This only started as something to do over the winter, now im hooked :wallbash:

Just finished having a proper read. Looks fucking awesome.

Don't have pics at work, photobucket is blocked because of laaaaame.

Making me even more tempted to Turbo :'(

Cheers mate, ruddy IT peoples with their blocking.

Go own you know you want boost , just get your wallet out.

Looks like I'm going to have to miss the first drift event of the year down here on the 22nd March, next local one isn't until August!

Unless I can do the following in 4 weeks.

- MOT

- IAT Fitting and Wiring

- VTPS Fitting and Wiring

- Alloy Rad installation and coolant hose through

- Re-paint roll cage

- Sort and fit turbo to mani studs, and insta-gasket

- Fabricate exhaust system

- Purchase and fit tyres to new wheels

- Fit drift tyres

- Purchase and install a Wideband

- Welding to N/S sill

- Fully fit manual boost controller

- Drill and tap oil return line

- Oil and filter change

- Purchase and fit boost gauge

- Purchase and fit new wheel nuts

- Megasquirt install

- Megasquirt tuning

Dont see it happening, and I reckon that's another £600 worth of kit. I really wana go burn some rubber, but dont want to rush the build and cut any corners or compromise.
