Thanks Mate, I really appreciate your feedback, will have a look through my notes from the 3800 build when I can, to give you an idea – are you keeping the motor N/A or applying F.I. on top & if so, what type – Turbo or Centrifugal? Plus it’s a holistic application with the driveline, intake & exhaust to gain maximum performance as you know. Cheers!

thanks mate appreciate it , it will be N/A for everday/street use; due to P Plate restrictions but looking at all my options in going forward as well if i want to convert it too F/I once off P’s etc.

Cheers.

Bit of an update:

Thanks to a split in the radiator the other week that was noticed at a local charity show; a new one had to be sourced, so in went a ADRAD radiator and accompanying trans hoses  and so far its worked a treat.

She’s now out of reg so the fun can begin. Over the next few months the Berlina will receive a bit of a overhaul/revamp & general tidy up dubbed “Phase 2”. This includes driveline completion, susp overhaul and interior work all getting ready for when i can finally get around to building up the new motor (undisclosed).

So keep an eye out for updates on here, more to come soon!

Love the new motor setup! keen to see it installed, any estimate on what power/torque its going to make?

Currently piecing together ideas for my own engine build (S1) over the next few months, much work to bring the comp up to 9.6:1? i want to try and do most of the work myself so curious on how its best to go about it.

Cheers,

Thought i would add a few photos to show the changes the car has over the few years that i have it in my possession.

Basically how i got the car, after giving it a good detail.

New wheels fitted up.

Momo Wheel & Gauges (still to finish up the gauge install)

A Couple of photos from the 2013 Cruise For Charity; before respray & lowered.

Photos from Cruise For Charity 2014 after respray and low.

Just a comparison shot: Top photo as i got the car, bottom from Jafs cruise

 

Cheers, Brandon
