13b-rew Into T2

wow........

talk about take over my prodect thread..

first off fish... the tank is small as you pointed out but youll also see that my spaceframe trolly chassis is very light. as i wouldnt be dragging alot of exess weight i hoped the mpg would b ok....

your right i have based my 400 bhp on what i have read on usa and oz sites. one of the turbo shops advatised the hks to4e to be capable of 400rwhp and alot of the cars over there are 400 bhp. i am also very aware that its not just a load of parts bolted together that make bhp its the way there set up.

for this i have to rely compleatly on who says the best rolling road place is for this engine. right now im nowere near being able to set up the engine as its not even in the same gararge as the car:D

im with evil rota, im useing 2mm seals and if i have to ill put in new housings. ill stick with the fd lump as it will be all the sweeter doing fd\'s on trackdays useing there own power plant :rollin

now GET OFF MY LAND:wave

It sounds like your on a Buget, so Steel Apex\'s will be the way to go but your be carefull you dont fall into the trap of the wanting Big hp for no money, you will find it will cost alot more in the long run, Take it from me i have a garage full of bits from my past Projects.

,im glad i dont have to put ALL this back,, do i?

they say the trick to cheap performance is weight reduction.

i took off the power steering pump , abs pump and bracket and some other stuff off the inner wing ie coils and charcoal filters.quite a good reduction

t2rew · August 04, 2003, 09:37:21 PM

much better . now i can get to the mounts easier

richrx · August 04, 2003, 09:38:54 PM

can you get 400bhp uot the 13bt? or is it too risky

t2rew · August 04, 2003, 09:41:25 PM

its going to make this thread very long with all these lame photos but hey, i do it coz i can

t2rew · August 04, 2003, 09:48:14 PM

hi rich

you can but i think there is an issue with the strength of the statonary gears or end plates. worth a try though;)

this is the start of my new mounts. 10mm plate with some holes init

dont now what all the fuss is about. any one could do it:cool

richrx · August 04, 2003, 09:53:06 PM

cheers:cool justa bridge port and toughened gears, so it\'ll rev to 15000:cool :cool and i\'ll be happy

todays update. i havent spent that long on it today as i went to work today. i picked the engine up, yes by hand, there great little things arnt they and put it in the hole were it should go. its now bolted to the box with my fabricated bits of 10mm plate with 6mm spacers to clear the sump bolts. you can also so the 100mm dics bolted to the t2 rubber mounts.

the pics are left side, right side, and a look at the engine in the hole.

im hoping to join the two part together tomorrow but im going to a wedding tonight so mabe not:D

t2rew · August 09, 2003, 03:24:45 PM

right

t2rew · August 09, 2003, 03:32:04 PM

looks like it was made to go there.

the rew mounts are at the back of the engine but the t2\'s are more in the center. im sure there is a very good reason for this but i think the t2 way is much better.

but then what do i know:)

Don\'t look like your going to have much room for the twin turbo set in there!!!!!

Seriously keep the pics coming , your doing well.

All the best Clive
