Well the good news is.........

Its on my drive, tucked up nicely in its new pyjamas

Drove if home and it's geo is all over the place, the brembos rattle, the shocks are set too hard, suspension is too low, oil leak drops onto exhaust manifold which is leaking.........body work needs some flatting polishing and a few chips from fitting.

but its on my drive and third gear with foot to floor is a giggle exhaust sounds lovely too

Photo when it was light....its all together now





SSCCCHHHWWWIIINNNGGGG

very nice !!!!!

Woo hoo it has electricity !

Dont know for how long but it managed to get to the local track for a quick blast up the straight, did a 3rd and 4th gear on low 11psi boost

You can hear the exhaust manifold blowing and its a little laggy, also ECU light is linked up to the DTA and comes on when its time to shift

yes apart from full suspension geometry, flat and polish, few grills, ported head 285 cams and mech lifters, exhaust manifold is leaking, front splitter and a bit of touch up paint (scotts fault)

Should be good for Summer

Went to see Dylan today and he asked me to show what he's been up to as he hasn't got time. I'm not a fan myself, but he seems to think it's good..

Its looking good hey Ding.....just needs those wheels of mine you have to set it off

Tony, that was real time and on low boost

Well after the Ported Head i purchase was a dud, i decided to go all gung ho and get a new head ported by Jason Hellier of Hellier Performance as he is 20 mins from my house and i have heard good things about him. He is also good friends with Rog from Sabre heads and i would like to thank rog for his help.

Anyway, i asked for Jason to Flow Test the new head, the old cracked one (supposedly a GBE head, but its not) and the std head to see what flows i would get. The cams i have are 260 degree 285M Piper re-grinds with just under 10mm lift so figures at 400 thou are roughly this.

The std head flows ok, the cracked head did well on the inlet but basically bugger all improvement on the exhaust even though massive amount of metal was removed. Luckily Jason spotted this and his head flows approx 20% more than the std head on the inlet and exhaust so i cant complain. All test were done on the Janspeed Flow tester in CFM

Cams were set up and measured, took a day apparently, single piper springs (157lb @ 10mm vs 128lb std springs) with modified std caps for a 7500rpm limit.

But i now have a solid tested head so i hope this helps with the lack of top end revs.

Car is with JDM Dyno in Cumbria who will strip the head and re-dyno with a few other minor mods

this puts Dylans car into perspective, my 40-100 time is not shabby although I was getting too much wheelspin, Dylan is 20mph faster than me in the same time on low boost, thats going to be a very quick car

Well the head is off and new head going on tomorrow

Looks like the old head had been ported slightly

Exhaust manifold was warped, its been skimmed and ready to go back on

Oil leak was not what I expected. The cam carrier was leaking, but small amounts. Main problem was it was coming out the dipstick straight onto the exhaust manifold....so will add a couple of breathers.

Should be on the rollers on Friday for 400bhp........

One breather was blocked off so will add some more

Dipstick was not pushed in and the holder has been bent a few times so sits a lot lower in the engine bay

I may of over filled it (as dipstick is not easy to get to) as well

Other than that not panicking just yet.......honest

Oh and FYI they have just started fitting ecoboost engines to the elise......the 1.6 verion though

What piston rings have you used?]
It could be quite difficult to bed in.

Engine was bought complete, been running for a little while before i had it in a 620TI and didnt have issues as drove it before i bought it. Engine was built by Drew at Roverdose who built the 1.4 turbo so dont doubt the build. When head came off there was a slight lip at top where the oil ring stops but nothing to be worried about.

Issue i have is oil up dipstick but nothing and i mean nothing from the cam cover breathers that are open to atmosphere, no oil smoke from the exhaust just the engine bay

Good news is that I was kindly sent me an S2 wishbone to compare with the existing one and it was slightly longer than the one fitted, so seems you the wishbone was an S1 item hence not being able to get negative camber

Bad news is that the original cams in the engine may not have been the piper 270 ones as they are not stamped by piper on the end. But this will be good news as the cams could be std so happy with the power it was making esp as the head only has a light port

Car will go back to Sportomotive to have the Geo corrected properly. Will then drive it for a few weeks and see what its like, then next year take it to one of the know how guys and get it setup how i want it. Secretly hoping the 340R settings will be good enough though :nana

Hoping the dipstick oil issue is windage and oil levels but its a worry as its a strange one, but it should be on the rollers this afternoon may even get a couple of power runs and hopeful to go over the 400bhp possibly slightly more if the engine will rev to the 7500rpm i would like :bc

This is what happened today.....low boost is 11psi so spot the problem

Looks like the std garrett wastegate is too small and now I am getting more flow through the head it just cant cope so backed out at 6000rpm.

Still 360bhp but at 19psi so really have no control ovet boost

So ordered an external wastegate and will get this fitted next week.just a shame internal wastegate doesnt flow enough but external will control better 44mm tial on order

Worse is the fact the tyres wont grip on the dyno, then I saw this plot and realised why
