Good stuff andy, the race is truly on isn't it!

You may have a car ready before me but I already have an engine built hehehe

[andywaller]

yeah mini93 there is but it just means i will be able to get the correct length when the frame is fitted.


dan your right, maybe you should just give me your engine to put in my car, ive got an old shot 998 i will swap it for

its good to get some stuff done again finally!

i want it ready for its media blast asap.

tomorrow i will:

weld on the subframe tower brace plates, seam weld the frame and do some cut outs on it.

grind back and finish the rear arches

weld up the holes for the old roll cage that i drilled.

then its just the frount bulkhead and go rounf the car and make sure everything is ground back and tidy.

i have been tidying up so havent got a chance to do what i wanted to do today, but i did get and chance to sort my block out ready for the K tried my SC template on aswell!

couple of pictures,

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...

http://www.rbracing-...m/bmwturbos.htm

Moorspeed have a supercharged K1100 in their showroom already......

[mini13]

Is that a bit like their 300 brake engine though......

if you mean what I think you mean - then yeah, kinda.

i just had a look at there site, its impressive in a way but that must stick out of the bonnet, i dont mind a few filters pokings out but a whole supercharger, no ta.

I here ya there pal, its abit USA having the whole thing out in the open

[riley]

Just read the whole thread and must say there has been some great work gone into you mini.
Keep up the good work

[mini13]

That morspeed charger kit looks pretty stupid!

I'm damn sure that its possible to sling the charger where the alternator would normally be or maybe put the charger over the back of the engine above the exhaust manifold in a similar position to a vMax charger, maybe the charger would sit higher and maybe the bonet would need to have the rear raised to clear it but i'd far rather do that and have the ability to add an intercooler than have that lump poking out the grille!

Stay N/a Andy!
I would, it'll be more fun, and easier to rebuild...

[mini13]

NOOO!

stick a blower on it, it'll work out cheaper!

[Dog]

Its up to Andy at the end of the day, but I *think* dans KAD needs a rebuild every 4k... and thats an N/a, imagine if u had forced induction... rebuilds will be around about the same time you ran it in lol

[mini93]

but on the other hand, wouldnt have to run higher compression so less force acting upon parts, still smooth with supercharger unlike turbo, that would require often rebuilds

and im sure thats down to dans choice, i remember him saying he chooses often rebuids

[mini13]

Its RPM that causes wear,

Remember that the loadings on the bearings go up with a square rule as the revs rise, not to mention piston speeds, cam nose loadings ect.

I know Andy'll do what he wants in the end. I'm just playing devils advocate and giving him some ideas LOL.
