well i dont post here that much but ive gone the whole hog dont know 100% what its going to the final outcome but hoping for about 230ish
still a bit to do yet but i will try and keep you posted carbon throttle bodys (from wsr btcc) DAT ecu light weight flywheel steve :) |
Oh I hate you so much! :laugh:
Please do keep us posted as I am interested in how this pans out. Hats off to you fella. |
This project is gonna be very interesting to follow, looking forward to seeing the end product mate, and also seeing it again in our work car park!!
My zs is lonely all on its own!! Lol:console: |
Should sound sweet!
|
BTCC kit... Hmmm. :)

thanks for the kind comments :) |
Nice!
Bet thats setting you back a few dollar... |
230 thats hopefull??
|
230+ I would say is possible if using 285 cams as they can give up to 40bhp, throttle bodies with a DTA, why not? QED can spec over 300 depending on pocket depth. But then who would actually spend that much?
|
hasnt it got 270cams?

sports cat mani's 270 cam verniers mapping done by RSM bmc with custom made pipe same as the ITG (already sold) carbon catch tank think thats about it ??? Quote:
285;s there the same price as the 270;s ????? would of thought they would be more |
I think the carriers need machining out to clear the lobes of 285's. Quite common when going that far, had to do this on my Audi many moons ago.
|
Very nice dude, should go like stink :D
|
just a little update
well the engine is out to fit all the aux stuff, new bracket being made for the alternator this has moved to where the air-con pump was it wound not fit where it was so had to be moved and the power steering pump off and an electric one added this also was in the way so all new pipe work made up for that as well,small red top battery and the tray moved so the air box can be fitted (this has not been made up yet) some other little bits and bobs done but thats about it :) |

anybody who wants to know anything about RSM can ask me rather than post things on here about dont hold your hopes up etc.
while this car has been delayed due to moves, and units etc(out of rsm control) its well on its way and will be finished shortly but as i said earlier in this post,please dont start making things up or spreading things that arnt quite true, its pointless and creates a issue out of nothing. since joining this forum, iv not seen any posts like this other than in this one, in the past and present i am friends with Gmac. but dont post about it and dont want to get involved it is uneeded. after speaking with George tonight there will be futher pics of this next week!! :D |
That sounds good Ross:mml:
By the sounds of it, its been a hard year for G. He had alot of Issues to deal with this year with moving problems, the decease of a close family members etc.. Deserves a break! Cant wait to hear that V6 with tbs!! :w00t: |
last time I saw the car it was looking nearly finished, they are impressive looking bits of kit!
|
Really looking forward to seeing and hearing this car. Am really gutted that nothing came along like this when i still owned the Hot Wheels MG. Searched high and low to get some ex-BTCC bits.:D
|
i dont think talking cars was saying about rsm, i think he was saying wouldnt hold your hopes up from hearing from him because he hadnt been online:)
|
I was saying that you are unlikly to hear from Steve as he hasn't been on for a while.
I was also suggesting that progress on the car is likely to have been slowed as RSM been closed by the owner reopened as a different company and has moved twice since the first post in this thread. The company change and 2 moves are fact, Steves last visit was a fact at time of posting, everything else is are resonable assumptions based on these facts. |

QED made 230 on their trackday 2.5 kv6 engine with t.b's, 285 cams, dta etc but thats not the full story, they were making that power at 7600 rpm's and over iirc, thats real power proven on an engine dyno not an optomistic rolling road guesstimate. 270 cams power band ends at 6700 rpm's so you wont gain anything even if you up the rev limit as i did some years back. I wonder if the plenum with vis removed and mapped with dta could even make the same power....at just 210 ish bhp the plenum may not even be a restriction. The throttle bodies are just 1 piece of a thouasnd piece jigsaw that is the btcc engine and its just impossible for them to give big gains on their own. Interesting project but the true cost makes it irrelevant as no one will ever do it again. Throw in some more parts and will turn into something very nice but then unless your cars a track car it will start to have poor road manners. I wonder if it will even need a "friendly" mot place to pass it as it stands now.lol |
