BGTV8 VQ40HRGA Race engine build

BGTV8 · 01-20-2019, 01:54 PM

Nope ... M150 has been running the car for a while (OEM engine but no sequential box yet though).

Car is being stripped for a cage and new engine and sequential box should be in during March.

Lots of other sh1t happening as well .... my old race car suffered a small detonation moment at Winton Festival of Sports Cars in August and broke a ring land/ring so that engine had to be re-linered and a couple of new pistons ..... and then we took the opportunity to grind a new cam and those who understand will get the rest - more lift equals more head-work and piston fly-cuts to make it all work.

I really should baseline the old race car and stop spending money on it and finish the Zed.

Thought maybe the wifey got tired of it all. And thrown you off a bridge with the motor as a weight.

Hey BG, is this the motor you're using?

94mm stroke rather than 96 and I will be running E85 but same heads, cams but slightly lower CR and everything else similar apart from 1.75" primaries on the exhaust. We have the mandrels for 2" primaries though.

Cage is prety much done, needs inspection from Scrutineer and final engineering signoff before was can fix the cage certification they blow paint over the internals and it all start to come together.
