At least someone's nails were manicured in that video. :fencelook:

........and that someone certainly was not me!

are you going to drive it without the Eish for a bit?

 

[Peter@AEW]

Nope it will be started with the eish and run for 2000Km before it becomes EISH and runs full boost with an inter-cooler which needs to be organised still.

This build started as a budget build and we are now sitting at very high 5 figures and the inter cooler will push it into 6 figures.

So much for the budget build.

 

[moranor@axis]

lol budget is irrelevant in the face of greatness :rollsmile:

how many great things were finished on time and too budget? I cant think of any off hand

however many things are finished on time and according to budget only to find... if a little more time was taken and a little money spent it would have been perfect...

Truely one in a million, much respect to Peter and Alex for their workmanship and attention to detail. It is seldom if ever seen today in a world where "that'll do" reigns.

My only gripe is that you are in Jhb and I'm in Dbn - Awesome job guys well done. And kudos to Crash for going the extra mile(s) and rands to build this beast.

6 figures? #insanelyawesome

I just watched all 3 videos again.

Absolute car porn guys.
Honestly can`t wait to see her run again Chris.

Peter you and Alex are awesome at what you guys are doing. Keep it up. :thumbs:

Dunno about the nails the grass and pool looked very well manicured

I think Speedy was referring the the awesome ///M stripe nails in the video...

:fencelook:

Just watched the video, awesome stuff as usual.

1 question though, why the gasket? Wouldn't a few KGS of silicone have done the job

Just watched the video. More awesome sauce. :joy:

Was just wondering, looks like an original vanos hub. You also drill the pump disc?

 

[alucard]

Nice video! :thumbs: (Nice song too)
Exciting times ahead.. just image driving around in that! Will feel like an honor has been bestowed upon you..

Pump disc was not drilled.

 

[Rommies]

Great work Gents! :thumbs:

Surely after all this money and time its worth reinforcing the vanos. Unless there is another plan happening. Locked vanos?

A possibility at the moment as all hinges on levels of boost on the SC and the software.
It would be pointless to blow R1500 if the unit will not be utilised.

Small update.

This build has once again reminded me of the old saying "The best laid plans of mice and men".

S/C inlet manifold and BOV is on its way to the engineers to be modified.

We will have to make an adaptor plate between the manifold and BOF.

Given that we are still waiting for a few gaskets which are now 3 weeks overdue.......no pressure.

We will obviously post pics of the modification once completed.
