Full on JIL

looks like a splitter for a timing beam - See you at Prescott then?

No,not enough time as the geo and brakes and mapping all needs doing and I'm rammed with work and so is Martin.Plan is to get up to Scoffs early June then we'll spend the rest of this year setting up locally...Donnington or Blyton Park being the obvious choices as only a stones throw away + when the new lump comes on stream we'll need the loooong straights
Not road legal so we'll be scrapping together the pennies to do it all as well .....
Martin has been working on the head issues we had last year so that should get bolted together along with the LSD'd box ..
It's a hell of a lot closer than it's ever been tho

Great job guys, well done
It's been a long road but worth it in the end innit

Well done both!

Wiring virtually done and dusted,gauges and shizzle in,bat and extinguisher strapped down.Fresh Toyo rubber and a few dozen little bits and bobs finalised .Huge thanks to Martin as usual for pulling a straight 26hr shift on Sat on 'wtf does this wire do duty' ....crazy MoFo

We've also got progress on JIL BIG Lump with heads now sorted so can go on + deep sump baffled
We got so much done we have even decided on a colour This of course will remain secret until it's done

If its a yellow wire, it connects to the dash. Otherwise all wiring is a black art.

What about a Pink Panther colour scheme

Good work....

every time I see the dash I think of this...
...so I guess you have decided on a brushed stainless finish..?


.

Ali please ! Not stainless ! ...far to weighty

Martins gone all 'tidy it up more' ,'OHHH!!! what colour shall we have?' of late ...think he's on the turn ...He'll be aligning screwheads next

He'll be aligning screwheads next

and whats wrong with that ?

Rear end done and dusted but I have to hit all the panels for paint soon ...Luckily first issue will be done with GCSE's in a couple of weeks and so will need a work ethic instilling

All looking mighty good there fella. Will be nice to see it on track one day!!

Cheers Pauly,not long now .Just got in from a day at Scoff's mapping baby JIL lump .All went very well .Old lump with a set of cams thrown in,Faulksie blower and Renix ECU mod,nothing big,just a bit clever in places and a set of A610 inj.
Got some vids and plot to upload but 311ftlbs and 274 bhp should be good enough for testing

Looks good for a 2.5 with a bit of boost and limited mods. What does a standard GTA Turbo make on that dyno? We only give engine Hp here if it is run on an engine dyno. What figure at the wheels before correction?

I remember many years ago Mr. Gentleman quoting that the exhaust manifolds were the big stopper on getting performance, and yet I think I saw somewhere a turbo on standard manifolds making over 300 Hp. In my case anything over 250Hp at the wheels will be fine.

I have a Volvo B280F engine part built for my GTA Turbo, using the Volvo cross bolted block and crank, A610 pistons, Volvo cams, GTA Turbo heads with the larger Volvo valves, and a Garrett GT3071R with internal wastegate .63 Ex, .5 Comp. Looking to run around 18Psi with Ford XR6 Turbo injectors and an aftermarket ECU, perhaps an Adaptronic as they are a popular fit on our cars. We have such a diversity of manufacturers in Australia. A PWR barrel type water to air intercooler will possibly be fitted also. Have you fitted a bigger throttle butterfly on your big JIL engine? Perhaps a talk to Martin about cams is in order for me.

My Alpine sits under a cover in my Mum's garage awaiting a time when I have space available to fit it in at home. To my shame it has been unused for 3 years.
