What I did today...

[matt dunn]

Well, at 3.30 today may car looked like this,



So a few hours later,

it now looks like this,



Took a bit more than i thought.
Had to swap over all the accessories, replaced rear main seal, removed sump and fitted the baffeled one with turbo return etc etc.

Not too bad for a few hour works including going to have tea at the In-laws.

Tomorrow, hopefully, will get all the rest back together.

damn good effort man

[Bling]

I hope you lifted that in by hand..... its how real men do it anyway...

ok, so just poor people without engine hoists

[crispy'86]

Good effort Matt, just a feshen up for the new season for the engine was it?

[flygt4]

not a bad effort. whats the specs on the engine? same again ?

[matt dunn]

No, the old engine is still fine, just sitting in the corner waiting,

This one is a new setup, in the never ending search for more power.

Can't raise the boost as the class I race in has an 18psi limit,
so raised the compression ratio instead.
Will see how it goes next weekend hopefully.

Matt

[crnkin]

yes! high compression for the win!

[matt dunn]

Gone up from 7.8 to 9,

but the modified head and aftermarket cams are still on the other engine,

so will be interesting to see if there more power, less power, or the same?

Time ( and a dyno plot) will tell.

Thinking of getting a bigger turbo?

[Adamal]

Can't raise the boost as the class I race in has an 18psi limit

Now why would he want a bigger turbo when he can't go over 18psi?

bigger turbo on same boost would make more power..?

[flygt4]

would also sacrifice response , depends how responsive he wants it. tho with raised compression it should be able to spool a slightly larger turbo just as fast as before.

[matt dunn]

I may go for a bigger turbo when i go for an engine with more cc's.
