My frp and big plans

[RyanG]

Did a little bit today as everyone was in, first we faced the top of the block

Then washed the block off next i masked the top face and oil ways etc and etch primed it

After it had dried then gave it several coats of silver and shes looking lovely

Got inlet manifold sorted that was a little concerned about so now everything is either waiting on bits or money im aiming for the dyno in 6weeks

I wish I had the workspace and tools/equipment to do something like this...

 

[RyanG]

Yer the milling machine comes in so handy but the Dyno is where its at, lots of development when were aiming for 245bhp

 

[PumaNoob]

Block looks good, a nice shiny base. That paint job will give you extra bhp!! :lol: I have to agree with Mac, I wish I had access to the tooling & equipment you do, it would be disrespectful not to take advantage of that stuff! You'd bring shame upon your family if you chose to drive a Prius with the facilities & knowledge in your family! :lol:

 

[RyanG]

Haha thanks mate, yer id say around 5bhp

I was considering turbo charging it the other day when a spare 30/71 turned up but cant handle the gearbox issues you and my brother suffered with lol plus its a car for the nurburgring, a freind of ours has a supercharged dc5 id love to mock him up the road maybe next year

 

[RyanG]

Few bits turned up today thanks to chris at lightening motorsport i got new valves and shells off him

Few pics of the new valves which make the originals look tiny lol they may or may not be turned down slightly depending on calculations

Few pics of the cams which i have put to one side out the stores, they were slightly too big for the latest spec evolution works engines at the time so should be spot on for mine

Exhaust next to standard sorry I'm awful at taking pictures lol

Inlet cam has around 2mm more lift than the exhaust im using around 4mm more lift than standard with between 310 and 320 degrees duration, good job im using vct as it couldnt be started on the starter motor without

Inlet system is being custom made at the minute out of a billet which will be 4 weeks.
Rods and pistons will be around 5weeks
Cylinder head will be around 6weks as its having new seats for the much bigger valves also i need the inlet to be matched to the head so this will be last.
The bottom end will all be complete at that point ready to drop the head on then strap it on the dyno

Nice bits of kit

[PumaNoob]

Them lobes look HUGE!!! Are those quoted durations complete, or are they at .5 lift? They gonna be lairy!!

 

[RyanG]

Yer there crazy alright, there just what kent cams have it down as so id say no lift.
Im gonna have a switchable map, calm then lairy tick over it will sound like some huge v8 lol

Interesting to compare with mine, are you going to have to machine the head out and increase the bucket size?

 

[RyanG]

How big is the base circle of yours?

 

[RyanG]

I'm using standard sized buckets and no do not have to modify the head I believe yours runs a larger base circle that's why your head has to be modified, what's the lift on your inlet cam,

 

[Blue3]

30mm base circle with 12mm lift

 

[RyanG]

Ill check in the morning but im nearly 100% sure mine are a smaller base circle which is why i can get away with not modifying the head,
12mm lift isnt shy my inlet cams 12.6mm
Do you know what compression ratio yours is they may have it a little lower and because of them cams they run the dynamic compression ratio higher.

 

[Blue3]

To be fair I measured it in the engine,so could be a little more, don't know the comp, but I know it is quite high

Simon

 

[RyanG]

Not an issue mate i was under the impression the f3 engine ran a restrictor and didnt rev too high so that size of cam makes sense

 

[RyanG]

Wow im excited now billet inlet system nearly ready :twisted:

 

[Blue3]

Is it just an intake or throttle bodies.?

Simon

 

[PumaJay]

judging by that second pic it looks like it has a butterfly in there, looks likes ITB's to me

 

[RyanG]

No each is a billet single butterfly to make itb's short as possible for revs, using 8 injector for drivability
