[misc_work] Still Nothing To Do With 205's...

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Whats the new project then!? Shame selling this one, its got heritage!

[Rippthrough 98]

Nothing for a while, few issues with family and friends health lately meant it's taken a back burner and may as well just go out of the way, will build a new one at some point later on hopefully.

I slipped, and this fell in, oh well:

No idea where that is from, is that a super charger though? Jag?

[stef205 91 1 Cars]

Looks like a k20 engine, m90 or m112 charger.

Bit if a clue further up the page.....

 

 

Yeah, if it's fooked we're considered sticking a 2.2 Honda motor with a blower in the back, they're not too much heavier and we'll sort out the extra length somehow.

F series and a Jaaaaag charger off a V8

^^What the welsh one said.

Had some surgery since, that cross bar has moved forwards and the bellhousing is getting some angle grinder and TIG welding fun to make it 30mm shorter and bring the engine even further forwards.

[Rippthrough 98]

Bit of shuffling to get the engine forwards, angle grinder vs bellhousing, grinder won.

[Rippthrough 98]

Bit of tidying up work, and a comparison to the old engine cage position...

 

Spaghetti Junction time this evening, sorry about the first pic, hands still vibrating from overuse of angle grinder...

Is that a base-model 205 steering wheel I spy there?

[welshpug 1,622]

306 I think, given the 99 rabbit powered wagon has a 405 MI wheel in it

[Rippthrough 98]

You should both hang your heads in shame, it's obviously a 106 XN steering wheel.

The 405Mi wheel in the 306 is knackered already. Lots of camber and castor plus a manual quick rack means it's getting torn to pieces, need a new one, again

So i hear you like exhausts, so we put an exhaust in your exhaust so you can burble while you rev.

[Rippthrough 98]

Did the exhaust for the rotary in about 3 hours from start to finish. This one is on 3 days and counting....

[welshpug 1,622]

will that have more torque from not being limited to 12" long primaries with no secondaries?

[Rippthrough 98]

 

Sorted.

Should have a chunk more torque in the 3k to 6k area.

[Rippthrough 98]

Shiny shiny!



Boost time!

[Rippthrough 98]

Dry sump on at last:




And yes, that is a bright pink mug of tea in the background.

[Rippthrough 98]

Anyway, got on with positioning the rest of the exhaust system, mocked the old rear cage up and sat the Mahooosive silencer down the side, sat the supercharger in after chopping some excess lugs off it (weight saving and all that shiz), then realised there was no way in f*** was the big assed 165 amp alternator going to go near the stock location as we originally thought....

So, looks like it's sitting at the side of the supercharger snout driving off a small belt and pulley bolted to the supercharger pulley.....I don't like it, but there's plenty of wraparound on that 5" pulley so it may be okay.

And after having the old cage on and taking some measurements, a couple of quick outline sketches to see how the new rear end/bonnet will end up:

Old bonnet/scoop/air feed:


Roughly where the new one will end up:


Plus extra's....

[Rippthrough 98]

Moar 'beer mat' type sketching....

Tidied that last one up a bit:

Porn.

Small wing good, big wing better?
