Got it, I wonder how long before some of the aftermarket companies start to design up nice low profile alternatives.

Too much work as it also effects the intercooler inside the lid.

Nah completely different.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Only the ctsv lid has the lines on the back.

Hey Cav, is it possible to put that op on the blower 180 degrees so the two hoses come out the back not the front? Is it symmetrical?

What you talking bout Willis???

Will go 300kw 400rwhp IMO

Slowly tinkering.

Intake is made. Just need to buy. A 5inch turbo guard for street duties and a 6inch bellmouth for when I race.

Engineer spec intake is next. Radiator hoses are also sorted and I’ve also done the heater hoses. Going to see what it’s like without running the heater tap at first. If no good then I’ll add some in.

Geometry and bump steer changes. Ian can explain this at a greater depth.

Dropping it that much create issues with rack, headers, etc.

To gain the 48mm clearance under the car you would then have to raise the suspension.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

48mm is quite a lot. I’d draw the line at 25mm

Either mill the lid and gain some clearance or change to a ctsv lid.

Very snug. With the accelerator. Won’t that be uncomfortable with the controller in the way?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Ahh ok. So bonnet clearance is the thing. You need to drop the whole lot  otherwise your Tb will clash also

K frame spacers and CTSV Lid. Done.

I still can’t work out what the meaning for all this is?

Can you enlighten me?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Apparently it meets ADR

LOL won’t happen without a CAMS license and a Club membership —————————————————- Bit more thinking on the intermediate steering shaft today, I was going to make 2x shafts 1 for each rack height setting, they would have had fixed uni joints at each end as I did the Lexcen.. In hindsight this may have contributed to some of the notchiness in the steering as Uni joint don’t rotate in perfect circles, it’s more a figure 8 motion with some length change as they turn. I’ve found a late model Rav 4 intermediate shaft new at a reasonable price and have ordered it, I’ll cut the ends off and graft on my own, the shaft telescopes so will serve 2 purposes, 1 it’ll get rid of the notchiness 2 it’ll allow length changes and make rack height changes far easier..

Ill pretend I’m you. Post makeover.

When it’s done. I’ll take it for a steer.

If 4 eyes are better then 2. Then imagine   Having a test pilot.

forgot to mention that I had to tap out 6 bolt holes “total” in the block 4 in the mounts and two for the bellhousing were slightly cross treaded all perfect now , got some 10mm plate for the start of the mounts going to cut the x member mounts off and move them back so I can run the air con pump , the motor is sitting back 30-40mm (I’m guessing here ) from where it would sit with of the shelf mounts be it TUFF or CRS , pros and con more room in one place less in others will just have to work around it less weight forward is a good thing , means I can bring radiator back towards motor , more room in front for aircon radiator and interchiller setups plus going to have radiator lower for a custom otr (air intake) modifying the snout and throttle to turn more into centre, big plans

What are you trying to achieve. You have lost me

 

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Was going to suggest pinning it like one would do to a balancer. With a blower. Or is there a way to do a key way?

Mine had an issue where it jammed full throttle, issue was trying to wrangle it back after you shut it down with no power steering. Id have a switch that enabled that to keep going some how if possible

cant happen if it’s mechanical.

Fuck…. This is why we can’t have nice things, good to hear it’s just a rim, a BIG stop button would do the job, wire it to the ECU power in so it shuts EVERYTHING down..

Isnt that what the key is for?

 

No good Harry could of been much worse. Gotta be thankful for what’s the final outcome was.
