Time to put my cards on the table.

Trying to find parts this is going to be a lot tougher then I thought,


This is what I'm going to do first

1 Braking systems, no point having a fast car when the brakes are dinosaur era.
2 Suspension for better handling.
3 Gearbox and clutch system, give me the grunt I need to pull in every gear.
4 Tyres, I've bought my ZT alloys which are being hydo dipped, Tyres are going to be Bridgestone very good.
5 safety equipment, things you need on the track and for car safety for driver and passenger.
6 Weight reduction, remove trim that slows the car down and fit it to either other 75 or ZT, If do get other the same space spec like my Rover then the trim can be slod to members.
7 Last and not least engine performance upgrades. Upgrades that will allow more fuel and air into the engine, plus cooling upagrdes and other major parts, LIKE THE CRANKSHAFT.

I need to ask a question, has anyone here doing tuning to any motorsport vehicles, I don't mean the V8 but any diesel car?

Also regarding parts where the best places to go?

I've sorted out the hybrid turbo and manifold, injectors and injector pump.
But otherwise nothing else.

Unlikely to be many pennies left for the V8 purchase methinks..........

Not to forget Sabine in the Diesel Transit on The Ring

Not to forget Sabine in the Diesel Transit on The Ring

That was a good top gear episode that one, we used to have a transit mk6 and mk7.
But it wasn't as quick as that one tho.
She's just amazing behind the wheel.

It took JC 3 days to get the time he did in the Jag, with Sabine training. (I did a 10.27 the second time on with the F)

If I could have her directing me I would take the ZTT.

Just done a bit reading will the camshafts have to be upgraded as well.?

Just got an email off Kieth and this is what he said.


Hi David,


Some facts about your turbo,


A compressor wheel mod will be about £ 450.00 to £ 650.00 and an extra £ 150.00 for a billet wheel mod, this makes the turbo spin easier.
To enlarge the exhaust side as well will be an full cost of about £ 770.00 but enlarging the exhaust you will have a slower spool up.


A compressor wheel mod will give you about 30 Bhp more
A full mod will give you about 60 Bhp more


I personally think that the way to go will be the compressor mod with uprated injectors and a remap. I would estimate that the total cost will be
about £ 1200.00 to £ 1500.00.
I would need the vehicle for about a week.


Have a think about it and let me know your thoughts.


Thanks,
Regards,
Keith
