Track Group update via Stephen…
Where’s the box with the s/c in it??
You know it makes sense…
Pistons are back from being Xylan coated
Existing block Nikasil coated
Well it’s not perfect. I had it painted to see what it looks like, scratched it immediately, and had put a couple of holes in the wrong place (because that’s how I roll 
). It’s also out by 10mm to one side with every bolt tight, not particularly noticeable but enough to have me do it again while the cars away at Track-Club. Consider it finished in a won’t mention it again sort of way :whistle:
looking good
How have you actually fastened it to the bottom of the crash box matey ?
Nuts and bolts mate under the radiator on an angle bracket same as the ones on the side.
More images from Track-Club HQ. I’m so impressed with Stephens service, it has been A1 
First class efficiency, help and advice.
We are lucky to have people like him, John (JSRacing) and Jim Valentine active on this forum all have been a great help to me so far… (and not forgetting Gav) YES I am excited!!! 
Brrrmmmm Brrrmmmmm
There have been some changes with the spec so I thought I’d go through what’s what so far engine-wise…
The Circuitworx oil pump gears were indeed faulty. Track Clubs engineers found it only turned so far then stopped, faltered in the housing. Removing them found three of the lobes are out and this is where the gears catch. Phew

What have you done to the OEM crank?
Not a thing, took advice about lightning it and decided it wasn’t for me, I think it was described as just something else that could go wrong for very little gain.
Sounds great John! Top job!
So, what are you doing with the head then!!! Bigger valves, wilder cams, flowed etc etc???
I guess this N/A will put out 240 ish BHP???
… guess we will now have to re-fit our rear view mirrors!
Nice list of mods jonny, still cant see a SC or Turbo amongst them, perhaps you over looked them. chop chop
He could not cope with the power increase
Not for the time being fella’s… Who knows
Yea Pete all of that really but 240bhp is wishful thinking me thinks!
All those bits and pieces are a mystery to me. You’ve been very brave, I think. But I look forward to seeing and hearing it in action.

No S/C or turbo with that compression ratio !
…top marks for going the whole hog with atmospheric tho …
J/F … I reckon you keep your old motor and slowly build a low compression unit for a future turbo install !
does the plenum setup make more power than ITBs?
Like these…
Just been talking about this, hot topic this week in fact with more than a few people. I don’t know but I’m sure we’ll be finding out sooner rather than later. For me there was not enough information on the net about reliability where as the DD Performance intake is now widly used in the Celica, MR2 world with realistic reliable gains. It’s a track day car, got to get home lol.
Interesting tho…
