Cupcake Rebuild (again!):

I have had this car since the early '90s and it is time again for it to be dusted off and fired up...  

This time, it is being converted back to twin turbo (still with the flat fan) but with water-to-air intercoolers and new intake plenums on top of the throttle bodies, my custom rods and all the usual tricks inside the motor.  We aren't trying to maximise power under the curve on this one, but it will be more of a fun 8500rpm flame throwing grenade motor with too much power!

I have lost a gear in the gearbox (back to five) but the supershift / paddle shift is retained but now coupled to the new drive-by-wire throttle... 

Adding the bigger brakes with six piston front calipers was a bit silly considering it has added so much to the unsprung weight.  The total weight is now 870kg so I guess I need to add more boost...  This car is more of a sledgehammer approach than an example of efficient engineering but it all about having a bit of fun... 

I am aiming to have the engine on the dyno in the next month if I can find some spare time, the rest is ready to go.  I was having a serious think about putting a K3 body on it but I think I will now wait until it hits a wall...

      

The above photos are all out of date.  I haven't taken a photo of it in recent years so I will have to make a bit more of an effort!
