2.8 v6 ....yummy......on throttle bodies and 285's, mouth watering build right here. Cannot wait to see this, the 2.8 litre kv6 would be a real 220 bhp with just the basic breathing mods.
That would just transform the zs ....can you build me a 2.8 kv6 please ?

were is the "we are not worthy " smiley when you need it

cheers for the comments.

not much to update today, will be looking at making some clips for the brake lines on the gaz shocks and some new bits for the TB's.

pics of the front end tomorrow.

I love good engineering......... Any chance of a pic of the smaller pulley for the charger ?

Just seen this, what an awesome project. Real bespoke engineering

What sort of compression do you hope to be running at, also any idea of rpm limit?

Reckon you could see pretty decent numbers. Im guessing 240bhp and 255lb/ft. Without the throttle bodies or supercharger.

cheers Jay.
with the 2.8? ill be iro 12.3:1 and as im on hydraulic tappets ill be limited to 7.5k rpm.

pic of the supercharger pulleys..

new on the left (59mm), old on the right (62mm)

didnt get much done today, got some rough drawings done of some TB fittings, hopefully have them finished in a couple weeks. will order some pipes etc off the net. once i got those i can start looking at an airbox / final positioning.

did manage to get a couple pics of the car as it is now..

way too low atm, can only just get my finger between tyre and arch. may think about removing the arch liners?!

cheers

i dont think ill see 255lb, im hoping to pull 300nm = 220lb/ft.

cheers

from just a 12 percent increase in capacity ?!?!?!
naah ...doubt it imo.
how much extra boost will the pulley give you drew?
