Wasso Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Not being funny Mark but it needs spacers and lowering. Didn't think much to the wooden bodykit either. Gota say looks high tech and highly tuned. Makes a dull job very interesting. If you need a loan zed to drop that into just let me know I'll be there!!

Dom187 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks epic... I did notice there was one box already in the back of that van, is that also yours? (or did all the kit have to be split over two boxes?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd understand two engines one for backup in case the first one blows but 3 isn't that a bit ott? Or is the expected engine life low? (so you need to rebuild after x amount of drags?)

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 3 engines, that's some investment to get a drag going. I'd understand two engines one for backup in case the first one blows but 3 isn't that a bit ott? Or is the expected engine life low? (so you need to rebuild after x amount of drags?) We run the motrs for around 20/24 runs , which then they need a rebuild. Bigest trouble we cant strip the motors easily as it is major work to remove the sump or cylinder heads. So we normally only have 2 motors in the UK and 1 in the US being rebuilt, but as it is the beginning of the year we have 3 motors ready to go. We find a few things that the motors have trouble with; running the car on the ORB ( making boost on the line) it is very agressive on the front cam lower sprocket, the cam buckets and the exhaust valves. The motor runs to 10,000 rpm with STOCK Nissan cam drive chain and gears so w ehave to keep an eye on these. Crank rods and pistons and bearings we now seem to have it all under control now . Head gaskets we use a normal high end performance gasket with very good quality head studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
