Looks great Koray, You need bigger brakes.........maybe the AWD Magna/Outlander conversion is for you? Still don't understand the geometry of the shifter, the fulcrum point remains the same but the throw is shorter? Will this put extra strain on the front shaft joint? Anyway.........Love your work. |

Already on the way:) Bitza wrote: Still don't understand the geometry of the shifter, the fulcrum point remains the same but the throw is shorter? Increasing the shaft length below the fulcrum joint is comparable to raising the fulcrum higher on the stock shaft. In both cases, the lever arm below the pivot is increased relative to the section above (the ratio is altered in the same way). This reduces the amount of travel required above the fulcrum as there is now more potential displacement below the fulcrum. The advantage to this method is that there is no added bulk to the mounting inside the cabin. Since I have no centre console I wanted to avoid having a bulge in the carpet. The only disadvantage is the shaft is now 15mm longer and therefore hangs lower, you need to ensure is does not come in contact with the exhaust. I hope this made sense. |

That dump pipe is a work of art. Very interested to hear more about that radiator and see where exactly you'll be putting the battery. Glad you got your motivation back. Look forward to more updates. |

Looks great Koray.........are you willing to make a radiator for me? |

Post subject: | Re: trq-str new ride |
I could do that, it wouldn't be until after my car is up and running though. Is your copper recore holding up for the time being? |

My radiator is still looking like new, would like an alloy one mainly for thermal efficiency. |

Nice Koray, the VR4 engine looks so much cleaner with the cordia thermostat neck! Can't wait to set the air to water intercooler completed. |

Really nice work! Love how you made up the new water pipe. Looks beautiful. What was the part number for the in tank fuel filter you got from Amayama? Also, what coilovers are you using? |

Thanks gents, 4cylturb wrote: What was the part number for the in tank fuel filter you got from Amayama? Also, what coilovers are you using? 12mm GSR in tank fuel filter = MB129890 Coil overs are Bc "type BR" with 7Kg springs to suite evo 123. On the softest setting they're extremely streetable and handle speed humps, rumble strips etc like an unmodified modern sports car. The stiffest setting is as stiff as you would want on a street car, it certainly effects drive ability as you need to pay more attention to the speed at which you travel over objects. The word required to install them and the set the limits of travel was documented earlier in this thread, unfortunately the photos are all gone for the time being. When I get some time Ill re upload the photos for you. |

Update, I had a chance to break in the engine on the dyno mid last month, we managed 195kw@5200rpm running 15psi and 8 degrees timing. Minus a very laggy turbo (15psi @ 4500 rpm in 4th gear) all was going well until we noticed the engine wouldn't take any more timing, we found this unusual for a ~9:1 comp engine and stopped while we were ahead. Upon inspection the ignition system suffered from ~7 degrees timing drift, thanks to Andrew and other experts in the field the issue has since been resolved. The build had other teething issues also, a drivetrain vibration and wastgate geometry to name a few. I'm currently working on the vibration but the wastegate issue (binding rod) seems to have been solved. The A2W setup remains closed loop and has not seen over 35 degrees (rarely over 30), seems to be working well. |
