How much money to run 10s in a street car?now with part2, The evolution to turbo

[Chip]

Holy thread revival, Batman!
Just been looking at the photos on Eurodragster from Friday's RWYB attention Pod and saw a certain white 67 with lots of carbon bits with the front wheels so high up in the air! Didn't look to be a naturally aspirated exhaust any more...

Just looked that photo up!

Sure looked like a CB style turbo placement

Wow it was now 7 years ago that it ran that 1st 10sec pass!!! Need to get it back to track and see what the latest changes will do

Update time finally    Rob hogg this update is done partly due to you, your new thread motivated me to do it

A while ago I did a deal on the engine and gearbox from this, complete with the nitrous set up so now needed something to fill the hole!!!

But it still had to be done as cheaply as I could, and similarly to the 1st incarnation trying to use other peoples rejected/used/worn out junk via swapmeets and for sale pages go again along with stuff that has been left or replaced with upgrades from my own projects.
I had most of a run of the mill 2332 that had been used in Old cabrio at one time so that was the basis for the engine, and a internet deal for a well built bus box all way from New zealand gave me 2 big pieces of the puzzle:)
Next was to make it fit the car, and the real work could begin, time to join some tubes to put the turbo where i wanted[ contrary to some internet experts opinions there are no off the shelf parts used on the exhaust or intake side

Great to see that car evolve 
But, will this still be a 10 sec street car or a 9 second street car now?

I think it would be a waste of time and money if it didn't go quicker

cheers Richie

Its always fun opening big packages 

[richie]

Putting turbo where i wanted it made it all very tight to fit in, never had to notch a wastegate pipe to clear a shock before!!!

Who'd have thought i would be a "influencer" 

That looks great Richie, be interesting to see how it develops.

The gearbox crate looks like some dodgy back half kit  😂

    Your so trendy and didn't even know it 

Now we just need others to follow and do the same, I know people are still doing interesting projects but either became to lazy to share on here or maybe its some crazy secret shit

Yep, one springs to mind for me!!!!! Funkin crooks!!!

[richie]

I wanted it to be dry sump set up and tank to fit under back seat area opposite side to driver, nothing of shelf available to fit so made my own

Nice to see upgrades!  

Be wary of the light colour turbo-67 curse

They only happen to you  

[PPRMicke]

Where are you allowed to have oil in the driver's compartment?
Thought it was a big no no for any liquids that can burn or be hot there
It's barely but could have a liquid filled battery in there

With all the extra weight from the bus box, ally engine case, dry sump set up etc I needed to lose some from other places so it got some lightweight panels fitted 

[richie]

With the plan to convert car to hydraulic clutch I made some adjustments to the gearbox clutch arm and a new front mount to replace bowden tube bracket

Should have gone with the boat anchor gearbox 

Hopefully the curse is now gone

More like you should have gone IRS whichever gearbox you use


 Its not like there is a really quick car relatively local to you that uses mostly stock IRS parts to help you realise its the way forward

I think the problem is you go to quick... with the car and with the builds. 

now off I am going to do all the secret shit in my garage. hopefully

I am getting old, less time left so need to make most of it

[richie]

Had to clearance body a little to get gearbox in position i wanted it to sit, also bought a used 911 upright fan/alternator kit off hear so swapped from original type shroud to this, fit was pretty shite though!!!

[BossHogg76]

Great progress, that's some size gearbox!!

My influencer status was increased at EBI as I encouraged people to get their projects posted on here.

I think you are enjoying that part to much

I am still way behind on were car actually is today, just looking back for pics so i can add to the updates

Some of this was during covid which added to the need to use whatever i had already, for a while i worked around the unknown brand used 911 fan shroud.

Its covered

It looks like you ended up removing the package tray on this one. Did you end up boxing up to the rear window more or less? I'd love to do a similar setup to my 60 one of these days. I'm excited to see this build continue to mature!

I just clearanced it enough for turbo to fit up high enough and for air filter hose to turbo, then ally panelled over that, finally made a carbon rear seat to cover it all

[richie]

With the DTA ECU sold with the engine and box I went with a Fueltech ECU like i am running on both cabrios and a few customer cars, I made a mount to have it right in my vision on top of dash and the fun of wiring it all begun!!!
