Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | So glad when we got married we agreed to have seperate bank accounts  Have bought a VX220 turbo intercooler which i will mount in the drivers side pod and get some side scoops to help air flow  Also managed to find a nice Ported and Polished Head with 32.5mm inlets and 28.5mm exhaust valves and mechanical followers. Cams are 1227 which would be a little wild for the turbo but i may use the inlet cam and get a custom high lift low duration for the exhaust 10.5mm and 260 degrees for example.   Idea is to get the STD 1.8 turbo (for the mini) into the car with an intercooler, get the mems 3 up and running whilst buying bits as i go for a high power rover k series. This may change on whether the wife finds out, loses her job, kills me or baby comes early Oh and Wayne at Pro Alloy kindly sent me a triple pass radiator  Spent most of today sorting out the heating, heater matrix and blower as the car has been sat for 4 years they have all corroded up. All working now Lights were a bugger had issues with the light control module blowing, a lose connection and also an open circuit. Been frustrating few days but all working and hunky dorey now !

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Ok some of you may have seen that all my k series stuff has been up for sale Basically i tried as best as i could to get the k to over 350bhp, but everyone that has gone to this level other than the 1.4 boys have had issues so i just couldnt take the chance. Thats not to say its not possible but i dont have the time and money when i had the metro to buy, try and fix. So i sold everything in a bid to raise some cash for a new engine. This has been done to an elise before but only as std spec and they are quick then, but i have bought a forged T series, well pistons and rods, and in this spec with the right turbo they are good for 500bhp+ This one has a GT3076R turbo and custom manifold but neither will fit the elise and i dont want nothing / everything so changing a few things. ECU is an E48 DTA but will be going S80 so i can have traction control (elises swap ends easily and i havent had a RWD car since i was 17, and i crashed that...twice)   Power Curve with the current setup  Bought some bits from Grant at www.gb-ent.com GTX2867R 0.64a/r turbine housing should be a nice and quick spool actuator 12psi Gizzmo MS-IBC to control Boost MTX Wide band controller Water pump flange, goes onto block for electric water pump Davis Craig EWP 80lpm with controller T Series exhaust flange, to add to K series manifold Collected engine today from Chelmsford after work so tomorrow evening i have a go at squeezing it in, mainly as i have no room at the moment  Edited by djwilma 26/7/2012 10:07 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Ding, they aint seen nothing yet Engine is out of the Alfa, which needs a clean, and its now at the lock up with the lotus. Removed the manifold that was on there today as it just wont fit in the Lotus, the turbo a small GT3076R was also removed  Here is the difference, the old 160VVC engine next to the T series....  Cheeky Scott, Bournemouths finest panel beater holding up the turbo and manifold which i have sold with the loom and E48 ECU already to cover the cost of the GTX  Then when i was home i got the k series manifold out and checked it against the T series one from www.gb-ent.com should fit.  Ordered bits yesterday and they arrived today, nothing like good service from Grant. Turbo should be with me Thursday so i can look at getting a trial fit against the bulk head  Edited by djwilma 27/7/2012 5:13 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Well the engine is in the car, gearbox mount is on but the cam cover side of things is a little bit of a bugger The aluminium mount is touching the plastic cam cover  But as said the engine is in and not too bad a fit   There is a little bit of room for the manifold and turbo to be fitted  When i got home today also had a couple of goodies waiting for me, the ECU DTA S80Pro and the GTX2867 turbo oh and a reminder i only have 8 weeks to finish the car off     This is the compressor curve for the GTX it is supposed to spool a little quicker than a disco potato and flow as well as the GT2871 and stay efficient above 2 bar boost !

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Engine mount was made today, used the existing 620 turbo mount and modded to suit the std elise one Will see how this gets on as the std mount is not known for its torque holding capability but the vibratechnics ones are  Thanks for comments so far  | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | glyn-ellis - 5/9/2012 5:10 AM Do you know the differance in weight between the k series and t series?? Fully dressed with all the bits and bobs ect yes about 60kgs, but engine is about 15 kgs lighter than a t as the flywheel is lightened and the water / pas pump has been removed But the additional weight of turbo and charge cooler should add about 30kgs Basically the idea is to be under 900kgs Also got the bottom engine mount made too Engines sitting where it should now | ||
