wilky Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Well as most of you will know I had the the car mapped on Monday. It all went very well however Ive managed to hump the six speed gearbox with the torque. Im glad this happened before we switch to the bigger injectors and start chasing the boost. Defo well into the 500 club, and looking forward to easing into the 600 club. Once the new injectors arrive. Thanks to Uncle Steve Whitson for the late nights, and to Uncle Andy Forrest for taking on the new ECU, Im sure you will both be pleased with how its all gone so far. I cannot commend the build quality enough, its absolutely awesome, thanks Steve. Callum W
the squiggle Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Happy days apart from the gearbox What went on the 6 speed?

Callum W Well Callum gald you got the results mate, Stevie W does A1 work not that i am bias or anything, the proof is in the results of his builds, what your plans for the gearbox PPG possibly?? hope to see this beast in action soon.. ?? best of luck mate hope you sort it asap..and crank up that boost Chris
colin_ross Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Defo well into the 500 clubCallum W I'll say. With that masssssssive blower and maxing out that fuel system I'd say that was never gonna be in any doubt. What I can't say though is how much torque it must be putting out to mash a 6 jdm speed in less than one tank of fuel. Top marks for raising the mental bar again mate. Can't wait for the full boost version.
Joe G Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I smell a PPG calum Look forward to seeing the results when the boost gets wound up. Joe
green_goblin Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yeh well done mate......sounds like a weapon!!! Oh and sorry to hear about the gearbox Jase
frank c Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Looks - Fantastic Power - Mental Sounds - Awesome Was gutted to hear about Monday night Callum but delighted your happy with the car.. ps: Well done Steve
RA Dunk Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I smell a PPG calum Joe PPG 1st and 2nd is only rated for 400 (derated since all of the failures at last years SSO) PPG 3rd and 4th is only rated for 600 Question is what does he replace the 6 speed with? Think Lateral use uprated 5 speed gears in a six speed case in the bannana, maybe worth looking into this for future proof
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Loving the thought of 600 rampant horses Dont give up Callum - gearbox is merely a consumable item after all ! Cal

Think Lateral use uprated 5 speed gears in a six speed case in the bannana, maybe worth looking into this for future proof There are a few options out there. First job is to repair the 6 speed which is in hand, and to understand we have a limitation. Second is to have a look at what's available in the USA and to look at shipping costs. failing that I'll be digging deep and spending alot of time offshore in the Gulf of Mexico to foot the bill for what I have in mind. I love a challenge! callum
mk1cos Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 have to agree with frank c looks-amazing power-mental sound-unlike anything else ive heard will be running soon
st3ph3n Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Does this mean the Fatboy is westbound and down for the US of Gay?
frank c Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Forgot to add....... your wee trumpets look the dogs danglies
wilky Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Forgot to add....... your wee trumpets look the dogs danglies Aye the wee trumpets are are rather nice, having been on a good number of years Im used to wee trumpets. The screamer pipe is pretty feckin outrageous sounding!! No Stephen the Fatboy is staying in Scotland and will serve my lust for speed on this side of the pond. I have my iron in another fire as far as cars are concerned in the USA! Callum Edited October 17, 2009 by Wilky
dipsy Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Must be a beast and a half with that power Mr Wilky any under bonnet pic's
wilky Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 Must be a beast and a half with that power Mr Wilky any under bonnet pic's I'll take some and post them up during the week.
RS Grant Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Are you going to go for a 'bang bang' box, a sequential hardcore, serious money box?? IMO this car is transforming into The Gobstoppers Newage Brother with the brilliant looks, mega sound, serious spec etc. Cheers, Grant

Well the gearbox problem turned out to be a snapped driveshaft and a collapsed bearing which have now been replaced. Ive driven tha car all day and even at only 1.6 bar its an animal, In fact Im off out in it again!! Callum
Joe G Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 U up in aberdeen the now callum? Will need to set my eyes on the beast at some point haha!! Joe
frank c Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Good news indeed Callum.... Chuffed to bits for you ! I'm guessing the drive up the road however was a tad more entertaining and slightly noisier than the trip down ? ps: the mcdonalds went down a treat , esp in the new comfy bus Frank.

G.T. Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 you got any plans for the interior callum, and whats a screamer pipe
wilky Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 you got any plans for the interior callum, and whats a screamer pipe Genuine prodrive WRC seats on the front but no cage. When you have an external waste gate you can either recirculate the bled off exhaust gas back into the up pipe or just VTA with a mini exhaust known as a screamer pipe. Some silence it some have it straight through. I like the phantom boak it gives and have kept it straight through. On boost it's really ASBOish.
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Unsure of your location @ present Callum but give me a bell if you are in ABZ - we MUST get some decent fly by and in car footage of the rally slag for YouTube consumption ......
