Every little helps

[The Batman]

Lol, excuse to buy something new

[Nev]

Came across this today, K20 engine with serial rotrex compound charging, may be of interest to you:

 

http://www.k20a.org/...hp/t-86410.html

 

It's nicely in depth and the guy seems to run an auto-engineering company from what I've read, so likely to be good info. Seems to be making 500 to 600 WHP from looking at the dynos - you might need some more rear rubber!

I will give it a read later on My plan was to go rotrex as I have one in the garage but I dont think I need one yet so will assess the situation this winter as Im sure everyone has upped there game Was also a money thing as I will need to buy a chargecooler system etc, plus time is a issue atm Bloody wedding

[Mopeytitan]

I have a Mercedes S65 chargecooler in the garage it’s similar to the pro alloy one except it’s not one if it’s of any interest to you?

[The Batman]

You are a bad person, got some photos

[Nev]

Have you ever seen the turbo & S/C which is all combined into a single unit on the S65? Very tight packaging and quite novel, although the log manifold looks horrendous for flow.

Ill get some pics this weekend for you

[The Batman]

got a few minutes, so wrapped the U bend that vocky modified for me, so the smalled flexi i could buy to take up the space, so it will now fit my existing modified 2bular backbox. Also added a extra lambda bung for wide band when mapping

 

 

 

[Danny Scarbro]

Engine bay looks fantastic. Which ITB set up is it Joe? Looks to fit nicely? And have you now got an RRC manifold you no longer need? Dan

[The Batman]

Its a kit that is coming to market soon pending r and d! Yeah I have a spare ported rrc manifold, 70mm skunk2 throttle body and a set of 725cc injectors

[Danny Scarbro]

PM your way.

DCOE pattern bodies?

[The Batman]

They are 46mm throttle bodies

I put in a couple of late nights this weekend and Vocky helped me yesterday and all is almost back together now



So basically just waiting on parts to arrive before its finished!

Your tail pipes are going to be white hot!!! I hope you're putting some heat management on the clam

[The Batman]

I have a load of nimbus but havent looked at the clam yet. Where do you suggest? Only the left tailpipe works Also the previous exhaust was completely wrapped as above

Edited by The Batman, 11 February 2018 - 05:59 PM.

[fiveoclock]

All around the left tail pipe then! All that heat is being channelled along and out of that pipe, its got to go somewhere.

[The Batman]

yeah, maybe a bit of chav gold reflector will have to be used!

 

will see what i can come up with when im at that stage.

[Nev]

I have just a few mm clearance on my tailpipe (which barely fits as it's 3.5" and hence super close to the g/f) and don't seem to get any clam melting issues (so long as it's not touching the clam itself). There is terrific turbulence around there so long as you're doing 10 MPH+

[The Batman]

I might just wrap the back of the clam in gold crap.. although Im really not a fan of gold! But J6 or j7 Thats the question
