Got the car running today and i was surprised by the amount of grunt there is with a barely modified 998.
Massive flat spot low down but timing and fueling havent been changed yet.

Did a couple local hillclimbs and gained some valuable experience. I found that this car would never be competitive in the modified class so i will be selling off my large bore gear and spending the winter getting it into the production class and building the engine properly ready for next year.



Nicely modified 202



GT17 and manifold to be.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

1 1/2" I think. Matches my ports pretty well when they are pinched square.

Not had a lot of time on it due to working on the landy and other peoples cars :(
Engines all stripped down just gotta measure up for the rebuild and get the block machined. Manifold is all tacked together not gonna finish it until the engines in and the bulkhead is rebuilt.
No racing this season :( might catch the last couple events to see whats going on.

Good point Andy i am going to have a joint on the down pipe so hopefully i wont need to mess with the elbow once its in position, i might even just weld it solid?

Mike, this was the tee: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-1-2-OD-STAINLE...=item3357d8cd28

The elbow seller has disappeared but they were something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Steel-...=item4ab78fdacf
