Quick update, here is yesterdays work on the exhaust.I have used a TVR T350 silencer as the primary box.I chopped the audi header flanges off and welded my own 3 bolt flanges on instead...
 Then fed both banks into the TVR box...    The TVR box is mounted ridgidly to the transmission by brackets and will move with the engine, so no need for flexi sections until further downstream.From the TVR box i am going down through the floor where i will make up a left and right system with the final silencers on each side...   The trunk wall will be rebuilt around the exhaust to give me some storage space back and the whole thing will be very heavily heat protected where i can...... how will this sound? I am not far off finding out!  Last edited by Paul Woods; 02-06-2010 at 12:42 PM.. |

Ahh, you're from the UK... I was wondering where the hell you picked up TVR parts for that thing.

Well my VEMS ECU and modified V8 engine harness came back from Hilly today, i have to say i am blown away by the quality of this guys work, and i haven't even plugged it in yet.My harness is immaculate with all unneccesary wiring removed and everything labelled up perfectly.Everything and i do mean everything is in this package, and to cap it all off he has written a full user manual on fitting and setting up together with a CD ROM with the software on it etc.
 Top marks andy, this has taken all of the hard work out of getting this running, sincere thanks mate. Last edited by Paul Woods; 02-06-2010 at 12:42 PM.. |

Paul Woods, the guy who inspires me to go out and get a welder and start welding stuff together...hehehe...Then again, I would like to weld someones door just for fun and get that on video when they try to open it...now that would be funny, just blame paul though. I saw his welded stuff on this thread so blame the tv, I mean internet...
I really need to start going to bed, the mind starts wondering after 12am...it's now 5 minutes to 2am! Last edited by efx; 09-27-2009 at 03:04 PM.. |

I have finalized the position of my Apexi air filter, and i have mounted it right in the inner wing getting loads of cold air straight from the side vent.
To mount it here i unbolted the frame that usually holds the rubber ducting in place and welded that to the Apexi adapter.   The frame then bolts back in place and holds the filter perfectly....   The bracket/apexi adapter needs shotblasting and painting but i am pretty happy with this location.I have also bought some 3.5" mandrel bent aluminium piping and hose joiners to go from throttle body to filter.

Well i am going to make a shroud for the filter so the air gets ducted in properly.
Next on the list is the rear exhaust silencers being hung and the last part of the exhaust fabbed up.... then the whole exhaust can come back off for seam welding. |
