Hey there,
First can I say well done with your project looks great. I'm planning on moving my battery to the boot. What do I need and what size cable do I need?

Thanks Ed

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks a lot for your compliment, you need the following parts
have a look to this homepage

http://www.gtfours.co.uk/

-> how too -> relocate the battery

if i remember correctly i'am using a 35mm² wire and a 120A fuse on the battery (-> RS-components fuse holder)

hope it helps

Hi Sunny.
Your project is perfect,but why you didn't buy WOSSNER pistons and WOSSNER connecting rods?They have lower weight.

[Sunny]

Hi,

sorry for the late reply and thanks for you compliment

i had a few phone calls to wössner, and i also compared the weight there isn't a big difference but iirc CP-Carillo was a bit lower in weight
i think it simple was a matter of taste why i decided to go with CP-Carillo, or possible the fact that a good friend drives wössner in his engine
and i want something different to bring some color in the game

.....hope for some updates soon

Hi,

small update,

uprated oem water pump

the following two pictures shows the axial clearance without gasket

oem, is ~2mm + 0,5 for the gasket



and here the machined one, 0 clearance without gasket (target clearance of 0,5mm with gasket)



i also machined all edges, good to see the two angles of the oem plastic impeller pump seat



and here a comparison of the two different pump housings, gen.3 GTE with the two angle seat and gen.4 with the simple one angle stainless variant



and here a how to do,

all 3S engines from gen.3 onward uses the simple stainless pump except the gen.3 GTE
i found that the stainless pump housing has enough material to machine the two angle seat at the target clearance so you need both housings, one where you get the angels measured and stainless pump housing to machine it
we did it on CNC turning machine, and was in need to built a bracket becouse the housing isn't able to get fixed centric without, then we measured the angles and programmed it

it takes ~2hours and cost me 100€, absolute ok i think
feel free to drop me any question if needed

I want that aluminum panel that bolts under engine bay looks so nice!! Great build can't wait to see it all come together. Patience is a necessity but it looks like its coming together great! A+ work on all custom pieces

[RoyO]

You've done nice custom work again!! I'm very curious about the rest of the build..

[Sunny]

Hi, Roy,

thanks, it was that housing you sent to me so one more thank you

[Sunny]

Hi,

just some small things are done

some high heat screws for the manifold





and a selfmade tower bar, so it is easier for me to weld on mountings if i'am in need





a bigger update soon once the block is back from the builder

maschined intake manifold to fit the smaller haltech IAT thread
