... at the fly I should imagine - would be a bit of a handfull at the wheels! Torque steer city! #;o)

[quote="Lantis-Dio"]hey shaggy, nice going there :top:
are the engine importers in your list trustworthy?

which one did u buys ur off?
and is the bpt engine u will be running the same as in unleashs car?
if yes why does he "only" have 147ish bhp and the bpt is listed with 190bhp on nagano japanese for example?!

p.s.:already jealous man, i can hear that turbo breathe [/quote]

Hey,

I got it from flashoptions, speak to Gav there
Yes its the same engine as Micks (Unleash) and yes as Adam stated the BHP is at the wheels, tho i thought it was more like 160 atw? It pushes over 200 at the fly


Ben

[quote="Miroslav Gabron Perkovi&a"]Shaggy the project is sweet!!! Wish some day i 'll do something with my engine too!!! You said earlier that you expect 250bhp,is it on the wheels or at the fly mate?
P.S. The lads vent a bit "Star Trek" with your car,ej ...stealth,sonar,how about an laser for taking out police radars,some Bond shit gadgets as well!!!!!! [/quote]

Hey


I dont expect 250bhp from this set up as im running standard gear, the only upgrade is a front mounted intercooler, upgraded plugs and leads, it might put out 185-190 with this set up but as the engine is old and un tuned currently it will probably be a little less. Im hoping in the future to upgrade the ECU and turbo, exhaust, blow off valve, booste control etc, I hope this will produce 250bhp at the flywheel, 190-200atw

Ben

Nice plan there mate,hope it all works out for ya!!

aah, cant wait to race my BG vs your BA

cya in uk next year

Spent tonight modding the AFm to fit my mini scaled air filter! aint it cute :D it just fits in the engine bay behind the lights

Pucka matey! #;o)

Well spent the day puttin more parts on the car, got all the IC plumbing sorted and on the car, was really easy to do aswell

also fitted the missing front gearbox mount, luckly i found one on a scrapped 323f so no importing from japan!!

Fitted the exhaust after some major cutting and welding, but im pleased to say its fitted and sorted now

Tomorrow im going to cut up whats left of my broken front bumper to make the IC pipes fit, hopefully ill have some shots of roughly what it will look like once its finished

Some pics....

[quote="GOGOBROOM"]Looking good Ben - is the excitement kicking in yet ?[/quote]

YES, slowly, its been such a mission im kind of numb to it all now Dan, soom people looked at it and said " dam its a GTX turbo in a 323f" i look at it and think "dam what have i done!"

People also say "it will be well fast", I think it will be rapid, i dont care aslong as it beats my mates 200bhp BMW!!!

[quote="stuartspel"]Hey Ben - Hope you aint disturbed the mice currently living inside your beast......!!!! Maybe on the 31st we could find em a new home...... [/quote]

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/shaggybenji/turbobenji.jpg[/img]

Few!!!!!

I thought you'd been having us on there, and I knew if that was the case that it would have dissapeared as soon as the snow melted

We're all in awe mate!

funny, no thats really just a random pic i got off the internet, i just swapped the head over on my BP :D im going to buy one of those " phhhhhsssstttt " audio machines for the car shows and rolling down the streets PMSL :D

Ben

Rich, bring ur ECU gizmo with you, snow will be gone by the 31st,

Propper sorted mate!!! Can't wait to hear the results!!!
You shouldn't put the front bumper back on,cause the way this F will run,bodyparts will rip off from the speed!!!!!!!!

dont be daft, its jap. they built stronger than brick sh!t houses.

Arty

I reckon that even a sumo fighter couldn't reck our F's mate!!!
Arty lol,don't take me seriosly,I'm always up for a joke!!!

Just took this as a sneeky preview, excuse the tape!

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/shaggybenji/Picture222.jpg[/img]

Tears are running down my face,I'm suddenly speechles,your picture says it all!! Beautifulllllll!!!!!!
The cooler looks amazing,no mesh for my taste,wouldn't dare to hide that beauty!!! cheers mate!

P.S. what you gonna do whit the former intake hole on the bumper? make another one on the opposite side and stick some fog lamps mate!

Simply stunning......

I half agree on the mesh, although it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some 'seethrough' mesh - to atleast protext your cooler a little bit.

Oh, and you really need to get a smaller plate Ben (AGAIN) - it just hides too much of that cooler!

Totally agree guys, looks AWESOME

I've got plenty of nice cool stainless mesh if you fancy a bit mate :D

After all, be a shame to get stones and rocks etc all over that lovely cooler :D:D

Yes it's the same here - but in my opinion it's morally illegal to have a standard sized numberplate. Ben has got an 'import plate' but it's still too big.......

cheers guys

I will be leaving the hole for now, the bumper is in a really bad state, you carnt see on the pics but its been battered about a bit, i will get a new bumper/splitter in the new year
Yes i agree i need a new number plate but i can never decide on a style, i might cut that one down a little bit

Ben

Standard sized numberplates are made for trucks mate!!!
P.S.I produced numberplates in a factory few years back,cars and truck same size,shite!
