oooooh, rather nice


have u settles on finalities? (is that a word?) like where the turbo's going etc and other spec or that hush?

[andywaller]

well im settled enough that it will be a k1100 seeing as i just bought one but other than that, you know what im like!

[Jammy]

Can't wait to see you build that supercharged KAD engine (after 2 or 3 more decision changes!)

[danwebster]

Trust me, it'll be a high revving N/A.

[andywaller]

not a pooper charger fan but i know where your coming from.

i will proberbly end up with a vtec in it


dan, roll on the co-pilot ride in your car!

[danwebster]

I'm going to make a special effort to get the car done quickly just so I can give you a ride in it and convince you to stick with us N/A boys.....

Andy I think I forgot to mention,

SC have a supercharged K1100 under development.

none of that messing with exhaust parts and oil lines!

as your not looking for silly boost could be a great option.

also here's an interesting link if you've not seen it...

turbo! turbo! turbo! you know it makes sense!

[andywaller]

all paid for.

im a K owner.

im setting up a little race between a tuned focus rs (turbo) and a kit car with a high reving N/A engine on throttle bodies, this way i can see how each performs, and the for and against of each option!

should help me make a decision.

I'd go N/A Andy. Thats gonna be more than enough power for such a light mini I reckon.

[andywaller]

i may well do that tom. i think i will go n/a get the car up and running give it a shakedown and get used to it, then if i decide i want more power i will build a turbo motor.

[andywaller]

well i feel like i am back on form, i have got quite a bit done today.

i now have a complete lower bulkhead again, the turbo box is in neatly and it all feels a bit stronger.

i also ground back the welds around the windsreen aperature.

i sorted out a few of the little templates i needed to make, and finally got round to sorting out some new tower supports for my subframe and swiss cheesed them.

i have also lined up one of my brace bars.

[mini93]

there the brace bars? mint! do they lengthen and shorten?

and the turbo box looks quite good indeed
