It's been a busy summer and no time with the car, but now we've got lot's of motivation to continue I did some planning for the next summer and decided to use STD M30 bottom end with low boost. Found a cheap one, cylinder head still missing..


We also did some research of blow-off valves or dump valves and noticed cheap ones had serious quality problems and those well known brands cost a million.
I spent days modelling our own product which finally became even lighter and more compact compared to similar valve! And the price tag should be no problem for anyone looking for a dump valve
Yesterday we started machining the first prototypes (raw version) for testing, let us know what do you think!

These kind of projects is what makes the visit of the forum worth it, good luck!

Thanks for your comment!

Today I had a feeling, that I must continue with the project..
I dig the front piece from the garage and finished mountings for the oil cooler and radiator. Bottom of the radiator will lay on two rubber pads.


Welded upper mounts:


Earlier I started to fit the brake calipers, finally made them fit "deep" enough, needed some more cutting of the king-pins.. 17in wheels will be no problem I think RF centres needed a 20mm spacer:

Rear brakes only need adapter plates to fit, measured all critical dimensions today. RF wheel centre might fit even without spacer:


Adapter will be made of aluminium and it has threaded holes:


We also tried DIY anodizing in our dump valve:

Damn this is a great project! Keep up the good work!

Here's a picture of front king pin modifications:


Yesterday I got my rear brake adapters and I anodized them dark grey:


I'm planning to buy Ferodo DS2500 brake pads, haven't heard any good about EBC (though I have a set of greenstuff in my bicycle ).. Any other suggestions about pads?

Finally after anodizing our dump valve got laser engraved texts in it's cap:

Recently I made a place for the IC radiator, that was pretty much the only place because I didn't want to stuff anything extra to the front. Water tank and pump will be placed to the trunk also.

Satan vilket schysst bygge! Följer!

Looking good!

kan man besikta med kylaren där??

Ja men om du har bränslesystemet i baklucka då måste du bygga separat låda för bränsletanken, så jag måste bearbeta det.

Fuel tank is now isolated from the cabin, I wasn't really satisfied with the previous version but this turned out better
Horizontal tubes support rear wing and vertical ones sway bar fastening points:


Like our page, it motivates us to work hard! Thank You!

Don't ask how many hours I've spent with this thing and why is it so complicated..

Very nice work!

This looks great I like the blow off valve you build, hope it work fine ++ for that one.

Thank you! Blow off valve works fine, two of them has been tested in a turbo Miata and RB26 powered Nissan

Today I got my single wiper conversion work, it's pretty compact package compared to orginal system:


Then I spent few minutes to sketch dashboard, next I'll make a plywood model:

Here's air intake for cabin heater, I'm going to use an universal heater unit. Water should run to direction of the blue arrow and red arrow shows path for air:


IC is also now mounted, heater will be bolted on top of it:


Wood workshop! Plywood model almost done, today I must check if the gear stick has enough room, you can't remember everything at once...

Awesome man!

Thanks!

Yesterday chassis had a quick wash with water and in some parts we used sand:

No major progress with the car this year, yet, just completed some unfinished welds and made necessary reinforcements for the roll cage:


Our gas turbine bike has taken some time again as we are taking it to a Finnish bike show in the end of the month, few updates and polishing:
