Guest Bijal Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ok guys and girls.... Our latest project, as some of you already know, is building a circuit monster. Designed to be road legal and within certain FIA approved specifications and rules. The development work has been going on for 10 months and the innitial planning around 7 months. In this post we will be covering the following: -Complete Start To Finish Engine Building, Tricks of the trade etc. -Engine Installation, running in period, tuning on dyno and mapping. -Fuel System Setup And Installation. -Complete Suspension Setup, Suspension kit, Bushes, Anti Roll Bars etc. -Roll Cage Installation. -Fire Extingusiher for Engine Bay (FIA Approved). -Interior setup and design. -Braking System including our very own Brake Bias System setup. And many more....... I will add to this list as i see fit and think of anything i might miss at the moment. We will cover EVERYTHING possible and give reasons WHY we do the things we have chosen to, what benefits are gained from it, advantages and disadvantages. The entire time we cover this we will post pictures and videos during start up, dyno and road tuning (after running in period). Tests and checks to be made during running in period, what to look out for etc etc. Testing at the tracks etc. Most of the work will be done in personal time but should be up and running within the next 4-5 weeks. Stay Tuned...... Bijal p.s..more pictures to come.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I love the HKS TO4Z turbo Mate has one on his 2.8 ltr R33 and its just mental on the road and in my opinion the best road turbo out there!! full boost by 3500 revs and makes 650 BHP at the hubs!! and for such an amount of power its not that big a turbo but the technology nowadays makes up for it. Should make for an interesting track car, what gearbox you going for, my friend has the OS Giken 6 Speed Seq box and it takes a little getting used to it but once you are you can bang through the gears with such a speed Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dee_rz Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Look forward to seeing this, need a nice quick track supra for a bit of a refresh after all the shed loads of skylines, evo's, scoobs and 200sx i keep seeing throughout the year at all the uk track circuits, i've had enough it about time we see more sup's out there goodluck and hope to see this soon, any eta's as to when it'll be ready roughly??

stupra Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 This sounds like its gonna be good. What kinda price is the TO4Z turbo, is it a mega buck's item ?, an do they fit onto any single turbo manifold ?. (I might be being a little dumb here) .
