Bit more done on the tig weld mission

[Andy Sykes]

Bit more done

[Andy Sykes]

Bit by bit

[Andy Sykes]

Little bit more done I think after its of pondering and making some rough sperical bearing mounts I may have a plan

Hi Andy

Looking good - as usual. Can I ask, what's the tube with the 10 fittings welded to it (picture before the throttle body) ?

Surely I'm not the only one that doesn't know what it is 

Thanks
Darren

Hi it's for oil
Bit more steering rack in place

[Andy Sykes]

Built up the turbos properly and put in place now to make a bracket then I can finish the headers

GTF off the internet and into the shed then, never going to get finished if you keep talking about it all the time

[Andy Sykes]

Well my plan is to talk about it then take it to few pinics so I tell everybody how fast it may go

[Andy Sykes]

Bit more done well started lots of tubes to go in now

[Andy Sykes]

the headers are about ready to weld up ive enjoyed this part



















and started on the exhaust no idea yet where they will come out yet









next up is the induction pipe work that should be pretty easy

cheers andy

[kev d]

Thanks it's taking some time but I'm getting there

[Andy Sykes]

Headers all welded up at last










Hopefully I will get time make the exhausts today

[Andy Sykes]

On another subject I have the idea to make a composite inlet this may turn into somthing that ends up in the bin but no harm in trying I guess



First cast and look ok I think still lots of work to go into yet









So no sharp bends or turns

[andy198712]

is that the stuff you make body casts out of? looks cool design, would be light in composite... defo worth trying!

[BeetleBug]

I`m loving it! No sharp turns and decrasing radius all the way to the intake valve?

Yes the blue stuff it water cured polyester they use for broken limbs it's pretty good stuff

Thanks lots to do on it yet and some engineering to work out but that's all part of the fun for Me

[Andy Sykes]

So somehow I've got to get 2 76mm exhausts out of the car ideas so far







I have another idea but that may have to wait until it back on the floor

Cheers Andy

[VWGlassee]

I like idea number 2  

Number 3 is defiantly a no-go for me  


Love this build! Keep the updates coming!

an exit something like this 5 inch pipe?

[mg]

Those are some wild cut rotors, why remove so much surface area?

I can't decide apart it won't be 3

I like the side exit but I'm running out of room fast lol

[Andy Sykes]

But she's back on the floor







Ani have on for a 28" tyre when I'm ready

Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

First weigh in dry so I can plan were to put tanks batteries etc

[Andy Sykes]

Oil pump in it new position so I can start on the oil and fuel lines

[Andy Sykes]

Test making hard line



 



Than at last fitted the coaxial breather I made about 2 years ago
