Breaking 205 whp GT1

[Towelie]

After a lot of deliberation, I’ve decided to call it quits with my GT as I can no longer motivate myself to keep this project alive. I always thought I’d keep this forever, but things never work out the way you plan them!



To save anyone from asking, I’ve decided to keep the Emerald ECU as this is going to be used on my next project.

This list is pretty much everything that I have/will be removing in the next few days. Please ask if there is anything that you want that I may have missed.

The prices shown are for collection from NG12, they are not delivery inclusive.

No silly offers please.

Engine (block + head assembly) - sold
The engine was professionally built in 2006 at 78k miles (now 82k miles) with the following spec:
Accralite 81mm forged pistons
Lightened & balanced rods and crank
Gas flowed cylinder head
Bronze valve guides
3 angle valve seats
276/250 cam with vernier pulley
Spesso head gasket with separate fire rings

It is still fine and I am reluctant to pull it apart for the sake of it. Earlier this year, it made good power with 1.35 bar boost and would easily have made more with better fueling http://www.puntosports.co.uk/forums/...d.php?t=110309. My plan was to fit 440cc injectors and have another go – unfortunately, I didn’t get round to doing this

Thanks for looking.

Thanks also to Superdan for helping me strip it last weekend!

As it stands today (22/05/2010)

God Dammit!! Dean have you got to the ARB's before me?!?

Second dibs on the ARB's

Turbo - being the standard VL7, what has been changed to make it a hybrid?

i guess it's the same unit as standard so a straight swap?

[Towelie]

The turbo was from Walker's in Northallerton - who presumably had it hybridised elsewhere. It has a slightly larger compressor wheel and re-profiled compressor housing. Absolutely perfect, no play etc etc.

Yep, straight swap.
