I have had little time to work on the car but the time I have had has been very fruitful.

I dont have any picts but I will try and get some for you.

Here are my updates
1) Installed racing window stays to the windshield and the rear Perspex window
2) Added clear scoops to the side NACA ducts to catch more air
3) Polished the new radiator
4) Had the front radiator pipes redone and they are a work of art
5) Redid the rear carbon boot to a single skin version and dehinged

The titanium exhaust is still being fabricated but they have been sending me picts of it and if they look anything like the water pipes they did for me. OH MY GOD, I cant wait.

Still to do
1) Add more carbon
2) Install the Exhaust when it returns
3) Get my horn working
4) Change the air jacks release valve (doesnt work the way I want it too)
5) Get my 's mounted in a different place

Then attention turns to my display, I think im going to use a 10' x 10' x 10' aluminum truss setup with LED lighting.

So Lyle, its been another month and a half, hows that bad boy car of yours coming along now??

[PhotoguyUSA]

Working on the carbon, should be done here in a couple of weeks.


Horn works now
Jacks are working like a dream
Headsets are remounted

The exhaust is still not fabricated fully but it will be done soon as its all been cut and tacked together. Just the final welds need to be done.

[PhotoguyUSA]

Yep equal length.

Any reason why you went titanium instead of stainless, does it perform better in any way?

[PhotoguyUSA]

Performance No!


Lighter Yes
Specialness Yes!
Bling ABSOLUTELY!

nice work there..........
but why two 44mm tail external...
what turbo you will use......???

[PhotoguyUSA]

On my original steel manifold and exhaust I was overboosting at 25psi at 60% throttle. Im using a Borg Warner S362 turbo its just so efficient and there is so little backpressure that it was flowing right past the wastegate and overboosting. So since a redesign was in order I had it redone in titanium and added an additional wastegate for good measure.

20psi at 60% throttle was at 408HP 300TQ at the hub. This is on 91 octane crap we have in CA/USA I expect we will break into the 500's with this.

[sotiris]

44 tial and you had overboost.....

this turbo is huge.......

.......... rise boost ..... 550++++ wait for you
good luck...!!!!



here in greece we have 100 octane all time.... i have never put 91 octane....

[Monte Busa]

Do they use RON and MON average for Octane (AKI) rating (R + M)/2 in Greece?

I've often wondered that when I've seen 100 Octane fuel at regular roadside stations there.

They use (R + M)/2 in the US.
