Dan's GTX3582r, 2.0 20v, project '600'

[BoostHard]

Dan, Have you bought that from Lee Manning?
He had spent an obscene amount on that thing.

Difd you get to see his westfield?

 

[Dan1720v]

I did, lee is a good friend of a friend. His westie is currently under going a re-chassis.

Sadly the car I've bought is literally just a shell (with cage). He now has a 200cup racer as his Clio fix. Although I've promised him he can get back in the hot seat any time (one of the only people I trust!)

 

[cupra.al]

how come you have got another shell?

 

[Dan1720v]

Rust put it on the ramp the other day and the pad went though the sill

 

[cupra.al]

Fair enough at least your have the other best colour now.
Ive really got a craving for a clio sport at the moment.

 

[BoostHard]

I was lucky enough to go out in his old 3dr cossie a few years back, just before he sold it.
My legs were like jelly after I got out.
Went round Combe with him.
Lee is a very genuine guy. Always willing to chat and help out were possible.

His Westfield is just ridiculous

 

[BoostHard]

Your friend isn't Renton or Chip is it?

 

[Dan1720v]

Chip and mike Woodford 2 of my best friends funnily enough. Yeh totally agree about lee, he has said he is very glad it has gone to someone he knows. I've not experienced his westie, I've seen that video though lol

 

[BoostHard]

Has Chip still got his Turbo Clio that mike built?

 

[Dan1720v]

Yes and no, we rebuilt it about 2 years ago now, fully forged etc and mapped to ~300bhp, but he ignored my concerns regarding the injectors. Then about 6 months later it melted a piston. It's now got a 197 engine in with itbs and nitrous.

 

[Dan1720v]

I'll just leave this here..

 

[Dan1720v]

So lots to update, shall be along shortly.

 

[cupra.al]

hurry up i want to see.

 

[Dan1720v]

So with the ph1 dying of rust, I collected this shell:

Porkies old cup, complete with safety devices full cage.

This thread will be a build log more than a thread.

Slowly things are coming together for the engine build, things have been turning up slowly, but surely.
Spec will be based around the following, with minor details changing.

1.8 20v turbo, bored and stroked to 2.0

Large port head with super tech valves,springs and retainers

Badger 5 cams

Wiseco Pistons (9:1CR)

ZRP Rifle drilled forged con rods

GTX3071 (may even go GT35)

Suspension will be the Roll centre kit and b14's, but these will be changed to possibly BC's but I've got something planned for the future so this may wait.

Interior
Will have a Dash2, and remote pedal box to get rid of my clutch issues (master cyl over heating due to turbo/manifold)

Here's the pics of stuff I e already gathered...
2.0 crankshaft


ZRP Rods


Large port head


And a weathered block

 

[Dan1720v]

Few more bits have turned up...

ARP head studs and main bearing studs & remote pedal box (I'll grab a picture tomorrow)

My GTX3582r with a gt30 compressor housing machined to suit.



Dash2


Just waiting on the wiseco pistons and supertech valve train to arrive before I can get the motor built.

 

[Dan1720v]

ARP's


Pedal box:


ACL's arrived, let's hope they're within tolerance when I build it all up!



Supertech valves, titanium valve springs and retainers have all been ordered, just awaiting delivery.

 

[t0m]

This is so awesome. GT35 in that woweeeeeeeeeeeeee... Great stuff look forward to seeing how this pans out dude.

 

[Dan1720v]

Supertech package here


Just waiting for the Pistons from badger5 then the engine build can begin.

 

[Dan1720v]

Pistons are here (many thanks to Bill@badger5)


Bit of help from a mate today.

He came up, and we got the pedal box positioned, seat roughly positioned, then attacked it in the form of making it lighter. Any unnecessary wiring removed (stereo/airbag/alarm etc)

 

[Dan1720v]

Little update..

Loom is all back together, @stopherson has popped up a few times and we've had the seat rails welded in, sadly no pics of that.

Meanwhile engine parts are arriving thick and fast.

Downpipe parts:

Turbosmart compgate external waste gate

Then popped up to badger5 today as I was on trackday support for a few guys, and ordered my cams, but also came away with a billet interference fit crankshaft sprocket, ARP Crank bolt, ARP Flywheel bolts.

Engine is coming out the grey one this weekend to raid the clutch and flywheel to get the whole bottom end assembly off for dynamic balancing.
