Signed up on here a while ago and introduced myself but figured i'd fire up some pics of my WIP!
Bought this about a year ago...
It already had a really good spec including
Carnival Yellow
B16B Engine
EK9 Gearbox
Jackson Racing Supercharger @7psi
DTA management
Hasport mounts
Spoon Full system
SSR Type C's
Buddyclub Coilovers
DC2 Recaro's
J's Racing type S carbon bonnet
One of the first things I done was fit some wings west RS sideskirts and a BYS front lip.
It was at this point that I started to get used to the power and decided I needed to make it faster. I had extracted as much power from the b16b as I could, without just casually whacking up the boost. So I sorn'd it and sold my B16B bottom end and my charger. I've slowly worked my way through the whole car bit by bit, selling on what I didn't want / need and and since taking it off the road in Sept 2011, I've been a busy boy!
I then sold the Recaro's, bought a pair of Bride Zeta III's and switched the grey interior for a black one. I also stripped out the rear and painted it.
Before
After
Not bad for a rattlecan job!
Bought some bride material and got my girlfriend to retrim my doorcards which turned out pretty good!
The plan at this stage was to buy a charge cooled version of the Jackson Racing inlet manifold. A company called LHT make these in the states. Basically, they run 2 cooling cores through the inlet manifold, and then a water pump and a charge cooler pass water through the manifold to keep the intake temperatures down. Thus allowing you to run more boost at lower temps! So I obviously had to have one...
They also port your "S tube" as part of the service to allow better flow through the charger.
And since I now was short of a bottom end, I sourced myself a nice low mileage MB6 to rob of the b18c4 and use it for my build. The c4 has a CR of 10.2:1 so will be ideal for boost in stock form.
I'm a bit of an SSR fan boy so I recently treated myself to a set of SSR Direzza's. Rare as **** and a really cool wheel. I gave them a coat of satin black and fired them on. My mate chewy came up and took some pics of the car in its somewhat sorry state, but this is how it stands...
I'm planning on running a 4.0" nose pulley, MVM stepper, and a CRV crank pulley which should net me around 11.7psi according to the veris calculator. I'm aiming for around 270bhp.
And that's it up until now I'm afraid! I have a pile of bits sitting like my J's Racing 3D GT wing, that I havn't quite got round to fitting but will try and update this as I progress... Be warned, I'm hopeless at this!
