Should be something posted on socials soon as far as tickets for spectators. I will PM details over in case you are interested in attending. Should be a good show with lots of nice cars and people attending. Hopefully see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Latest update and progress photos from Lee/SRD. Turbo is fitted along with the Hypertune intake manifold. Ash has made a start on the new intercooler piping and the guys are waiting on some bits for the new Garrett G40-1150 so they can fabricate the oil feed and down pipe. The oil return side of the turbo is all fabricated and installed. It’s coming together nicely and every photo I see is getting me more excited as it’s one step closer to being finished and ready for me to collect and drive. I’ll keep you all posted when I hear more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Morning All. Small update from Lee/SRD. The new intercooler pipes have been fabricated by the super talented Ash, and have been sent off to Sean at Inspraytion for powder coating in the same dark copper used on the original pipes. Mike is tackling the new engine loom and Ash is currently getting stuck in to the downpipe and midpipe, however they still need a flange to turn up. Not much in the way of photos, but did get this one of the new pipework. Ash has done a fab job as always and hopefully these will be powder coated soon and sent back to the guys to reinstall. I’ll keep you all posted when I hear more. Have a great day all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 So bit of an update. Pipework should be done now and hopefully on the way back to Lee and the team to fit. Mike has also finished the new engine loom which has to be said looks amazing! Such quality work. Still some work to be done, but moving forwards which is all I can ask for as I know how busy SRD are trying to help as many of us as possible. Will update further when I hear more. Enjoy the sun folks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be going to crazy power wise as still on stock engine and stock cams. 700 would be nice, but will have to see how it goes next week when it’s hopefully going on the dyno. Mike’s beautiful engine loom is all fitted now so just need the intercooler pipework back from Inspraytion so the guys can finish up and hit the rollers. I’ll keep you posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Ahh mate it looks amazing. 700 would definitely be a good number! You'd have a lot of fun at 700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Evening All. So making steady progress on the single swap. New intercooler pipework is back from Inspraytion and is looking good installed on the car. Hopefully full speed ahead now so it can get on the dyno soon. Will keep you posted when I hear more from Lee P and the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve used it for the half cage inside as well as the intercooler pipes, core and front strut brace. Adds a nice touch I think.

Not as responsive as it should be after we do the engine build mind. Once it has the Dart block, 3.4 Titan stroker and head/cams from SRD to match, should be building boost like OEM which will be quite something I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, Dart Iron Eagle block seems like a great price, I’m not likely to go over 1,000hp, but having a block rated for twice that just gives peace of mind.

Peter P Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 So numbers are in. Keeping it safe given we are still on stock engine and cams. Lee has confirmed this was at 1.6 bar and pointed out it’s an awesome power band and should feel epic. Exciting times and hopefully I’ll be able to pick it up soon.

Peter P Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 Couple of dyno run videos from Mike at SRD. He’s doing a great job mapping this and it sounds epic! Can’t wait to drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Mike finished up on the dyno today. Pops and bangs with a good dose of flames, launch and traction control all setup as well more importantly. Getting closer to getting it back. Road test tomorrow. 4c2cb8d1-5bde-4454-9a5b-6e130cd69460.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
