Do you have a build thread for the car?
 
What is your exhaust setup?

[najiru]

So, disappointigly it turns out that the water pump problem was either caused by or cause water seal failure therefore i wont be at anglesey after all. Engine is now off to WGT for a rebuild to be ready for snetterton in september. Bit gutted for it to happen just a week before Anglesey but theres never a good time I guess.

Ahhhhhhhhhh gutted for you mate. Like you say never a good time for this to happen but
it could be worse it could have thrown a tip. Glass half full and all that

[Casey]

So sorry to hear about that Neil  
I was looking forward to hearing how you got on at Anglesey.
As above, get some porting done whilst the rebuild is being done maybe

[marcusd666]

Gutted for you mate. was going to pop down and watch you at Anglesey hope you will have it all sorted soon.

[najiru]

Yeah it could of been worse, mind you I\'m not discounting the possibility of more damage until it\'s opened up.
 
It\'s already got some big bridge ports so more porting isn\'t really on the cards. I\'m generally running 1bar on track giving me around 530bhp but I may have a slightly higher boost map added for those 1 off flying laps. I certainly think the car can put down a bit more power in the dry but am less confident that the gearbox can take it.
 
Snetterton is a long way for us northern lot but hopefully the engine will be done in time for a trackday there before the TA weekend.

[Casey]

When you get to Snett or Brands just let me know as they are both easy for me tog et to. Would like to see you and the car on track :Thumbs-up

[najiru]

Will do, welcome to a ride out if we\'re there for a trackday too.

[najiru]

Got the engine apart last weekend and it turned out that the rotor housings have warped due to the heat. The new ones arrived mid week but need to go for machining to put the dowels in. Should know from Pip on Monday when it will be ready but it\'s going to need some running in and isn\'t road legal so the clocks ticking for Snetterton.
 
Anyone with trade plates fancy some noisey and uncomfortable trips up and down the m6?? :rollin

[shaunwil]

Is there no trackdays between it and this, could run round track all day clocking the miles up !

Shaun

[najiru]

That\'s probably what it will have to be, good lesson in carrying speed going round with half revs haha. It doesn\'t help that I\'m away with work the week before so I only have 3 weeks from now to get everything ready.

[shaunwil]

I bet there are plenty of people willing to bed it in for you :Giggle

Shaun

[najiru]

Engine is back in and run but showed up a leak in the rad so thats out for repair but I\'m planning to be at oulton on fri for its run in before pip does the final map. I\'m now signed up to be competing on Sunday 23rd Sept at snetterton and will be there the fri before to practice since i\'ve never driven there before. Hopefully a day will get me familiar enough to do ok on the sunday.

Good news
