  • B20 Turbo in 142

I have been building my 142 for far too long but I can almost see the end now..then it will be time to enjoy it







Been watching this with interest, but 1 question, what class are you going to run it in? ( as in CAMS)
Or is it for track days etc......
Just for club days and track days really.i have just built it how I want it
Specs
B20 with custom rods,pistons and roller rockers.
I sky lifters,pushrods and double row valve springs
Custom manifolds.
Garrett GT35R turbo
Motec M84 ECU and CDI ignition
Tilton twin plate clutch
Getrag close ratio 5 speed box (M51)
True Trac diff centre
AP Racing 6 spot front brakes with 355 rotors
AP Racing 4 spot rear brakes with 330 rotors (S60R)
Custom Cuomo wheel studs and nuts
Tilton pedal box with adjustable brake bias
Sparco seats
50l fuel cell with bosch motorsport pump
18x8 wheels but have 18x8.5 simmons on order at the moment
GAZ shocks and coilovers in the rear
Plus other bits n bobs
Some more info there

Gawd in heaven...

It is spectacular. You've set a very high bar for other builds to aspire to - the attention to detail is enviable.
Im surprised the rods are not longer and the pistons shorter and more h beam on the rods

Still looks good though
Amazing project - vertical B20, I'm in awe, technical prize winning. I'm in meltdown over the clutch/fly combo.
Pic4 - dash mounted fluids - Sorry but an instant fail at CAMS scrutineering for having fluids in the cabin.
At the very least they would have to be placed inside a fully sealed metal box near the floor.
For other dash gauges, ensure no fluid goes to them, electrical senders only.
Good thing I've built it to how I want it and not to any rules.because I want the reservoirs there one the dash.

It's a very impressive show car.

Aren't you going to race it? I think he's talking about rules at the track.

You are talking the more tolerant hillclimb style rules too @Anthony ?
Once I get it going if there's things I need to change it will address them then.but at the moment I'm doing things the way I fell they should be and want.o plan to do track days and car club meets mostly.just fun days.obviously the resinous need to be above the master cylinders and thats the most suitable place for them

Top left engine bay is a bracket holding a manifold air pressure sensor - correct?
Good its mounted above inlet manifold height, but suggest moving away from turbo exhaust heat zone and hence over to middle of engine bay; also so the length of tube is a shorter run.

A turbo blanket to contain heat radiation - from inlet manifold.

Coil packs - info appreciated
