Here's a peak at my new engine build !

Picked this up on sunday from Mr Kimmins at the Bingley show.


Got a plenum started.











Also made some different legth ram pipes up on the lathe.

Looks like a beast! I'm loving all this machined stuff i'm seeing these days, but i don't have anywhere to do it

Where are you getting your plenum tube from mate?

Should be a beast when its finished! What bhp you aiming for?

Just I think ive made my mind up on whether to go 7port or turbo , im subscribed to this!

[Turbo Phil]

The plenum material came from the states. I'm looking to break 200hp, but I'm more interested in a decent spread of torque and good drivability so it's quick on the road.

I will be following this closely, I love the idea of 7 port turbos running full engine management and injection

In my eyes, its about as good as an A series can get!

Modernising a great engine Good Luck! Is water injection or anything fancy going to appear or just a decent intercooler??

Why the expensive rods and crank? What is the rev range you will be aiming for?

[hazpalmer14]

that thing will shift phil, be nice to hear it barking around the lakes

[custodia]

Phil that looks like a beast. On a side note do you know if the plenium shape and size will provide equal pressure along all the intakes?
keep up the pictures!!

Because I paid £100 for the crank & I've owned the rods for about 7 years & they're fitted in my current engine so may as well reuse them.

[mini13]

100quid billet cranks are the way forward eh Phil!

[jamie@thefatgarage]

Bargain!
