Pastywagon Racing Sprint Dates 2006

[F2 Stu]

Thats good to hear guess I'll have to put them springs and one of these rad to my endless shopping list

 

[RobT]

fookin expensive toy though and I dont fancy santa's chances of getting it down the chimney (might make the sleigh a bit quicker though LOL)

The old engine already had fancy valve springs, but they still broke.....time will tell if the new ones are any better

 

[F2 Stu]

I'm sure they'll recieve a thorough test

mucho doller were they?

 

[RobT]

you dont want to know

 

[F2 Stu]

yer I do, pointless me building a simular engine for it to go bang on a known weakness.

 

[ibizacupra]

you building a motor with solid lifters, very high compression & big cams Stu?

 

[RobT]

A 'similar' engine - and whats that then ?

 

[F2 Stu]

When I meant simular i did'nt mean litteraly - I meant somthing out of the ordinary, hell I dont know what's in your engine

these springs then.............

 

[F2 Stu]

you building a motor with solid lifters, very high compression & big cams Stu?

Big big cams - No - daily runner so summat inbetween
Solid lifters - No
High(er) compression - thats the plan
Accumalating parts and not doing anything with them with any urgency - Oh yes

 

[RobT]

Latest - got me new motor

Like the old one but with added pasty. Found out what the problem with the old one was:

Oops. Thats what a dropped valve does to an engine - caused by a broken valve spring (into 3 pieces) - inturn caused by an overrev

New one:

Coming to a sprint track very very soon

Ave it

Rob

 

[WeeJase]

you've done a proper job on that piston big fella

 

[m0rk]

Found out what the problem with the old one was.....

10/10 for effort

 

[RobT]

latest - engine and box are back in the car - top days pasty action and cheers to Saul for helping out - will connect ancillaries and odds and sods over next few weeks, biggest issue being dry sump pipes as are going to change routing of these this time and go for a lighter construction pipe (dont need the 10,000 psi of last time methinks LOL - excavator hydraulic hose.....bit of overkill)

Ave it

Rob

 

[F2 Stu]

the piping for the oil cooler on the Ibiza was simular psi rating from Pirtek

wondered why it was so heavy & expensive

 

[RobT]

Dry sump lines, of the design my car has, are essentially atmospheric - all the pressurisation occurs in the body of the pump - the only pressure they have to stand is that generated by 6ft x 1" of oil - 100psi would be easily enough - going to get some pukka aeroquip dry sump pipe - pushes on to end fittings and is really light and flexible

 

[ibizacupra]

got that sort of pipe on my cooler connections. you will luv it once you have used it... mucho easyo to route.

Pasty wagen nearly there. Woohoo!

'Ave it

Were you at Curborough on Saturday, Rob?
Just heard that somebody called Deryk Young set a new record - 50.43 for a double run, crossing the line at a speed of 136mph. On their third run, they crossed the finish line at 142mph - that seems a bl**dy fast speed to cross the finish line at, must have great brakes to get it slowed down again before reaching the loop!

 

[m0rk]

142 is fast there....

That's his car - Judd engined - so will be plenty powerful

Wings & a diffuser

 

[RobT]

Thats massive......very very fast saloons sometimes get down to 60secs, fast caterfields 59-56 so a 50 sec is massive........respect
