ke-rolla Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hey mate what front engine belt covers are you using? 20v or 7a ones? or a combination? morgz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hi there, The timing belt covers are a combination of “16V” and “20V”. As you can see in the photo’s I have used 2 “16V” middle sections and cut one to be the same profile and just glued it on to the middle section. This little section is 15mm which is the different in height between the 4A block to the 7A block. If you need to know more, just ask.

RO78IN Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 This build / car is awesome. I'm sure once you get it running it will all be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_FNQ_rolla_ Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yep, That is exactly what i have done with this 7A Hybrid combo. Have you started to build one or are you planning on building one. If you need to know anything have a read over my thread or if it is not clear, just ask and i will point you in the right direction. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link but I got the W58 with the electronic speedo sender. Well I hoping to have this thing on the road within the next 3 months just have little bits and pieces to finish off but these are the most time consuming and I am fussy with this build/engine. Will get some more pictures up soon, putting all of the interior back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_FNQ_rolla_ Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 More bits and pieces… Intercooler, few different sizes and angle of silicone hoses, T-hose clamps, blow off valve, catch can, oil cooler,-10 braided hose and fittings For this 7AGTE 20V I’m going for a liquid to air intercooler for a couple of reasons. The first being it will have very short piping between the turbo and the inlet manifold, which will have a fast boost response (less volume to fill before the head). The second being because of the ambient temperature up here in the far north and the boost pressure I’m planning on running (I can use it as an Ice to Air intercooler).

dbr11k Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I would pick water to air over air to air anyday, for the exact reasons you just listed. Plus then you don't have a bog ugly fmic on the front of your car looking like bait for police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah, I do not want the attention that front mount (air to air intercoolers) can attract, as this car will still be driven on the road. Anyway I did a little bit more on the bomb on the weekend (not a lot though) I would like to have this finished before Christmas. I think that I should turn the oil cooler up the other way so no air will be trapped in the cooler. This is what it looks like with the bumper and grill back on … all stealth … I want the sleeper look but I think the wheels might give it away.

dbr11k Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Even with nice wheels, no one will ever suspect/expect that to be lurking under the bonnet ! looking good mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
