Hi Everyone,

We had a late night working on getting our sc installation completed. Came out pretty cool.

Looks great - how big is that intercooler
How much power does the car make?

18x12x3 core. very rIcy
no dyno yet. soon

Is the SC setup from Greg?
Top secret huh

Wow, that's exciting. Everything I can see in the picture looks good.

Michael, these guys made this kit themselves. It's not from me. I did send them some early prototype pieces to act as a general guideline, however every piece in thier kit is unique. They are using a MP90, Gotech and a huge air to air intercooler. With 8psi that car should put out around 275-280 rwhp.

Greg,

Do you think my engine can handle about 5 psi of boost? I'm worried about the stock rods. The compression is 10.5:1. Right now I can beat an Audi TT 225 and Volvo 850R Wagon (probably an Auto as it didn't seem as quick as the TT225). I can't imagine what it would do with an S/C.

BTW, I'm also passing the word around here (Ipoh, Malaysia).

Got one of the doors finished tonight with the carbon fiber skin. Hopefully now there won't be a torrent of water flowing into the cabin. And it looks pretty neat.

Nice!

But why does the door panel look wavy? Also can you give us some pointers for DIYers?

Thanks!

Quick DIY:

Get panel
Cut to shape
Attach with screws

Hey Mr. Hankook,

I'm talking about CF door panels. I was wondering if vacuum bagging or autoclave (I think this is totally out of the question for DIYers) will help make it look better.

It's in the DIY from Micke, first line:

"Get panel"

Making your own CF sheets is very boring and potentially hazardous (epoxy sucks), buying flat sheets is not that expensive.

Good luck to you guys during the One Lap event. I was hoping to stop by one of the events but I will be at a conference in North Carolina during that time.

Car looks good.

Zamani-

We had a roll of carbon fiber fabric donated to the club, so we bought some general resin (not epoxy) because we didn't need a lot of strength in this application. We used a special (perfectly flat) table to lay down the pieces of carbon fiber then put on the resin by hand. Let dry 48 hrs, peel them off, cut to shape (this was time consuming), and screw them on.

The panels are perfectly flat, so I'm not sure why they look wavy to you.

Here is a picture of the panels being made:

boring as a procedure. pretty exciting the first time you do it

Those door panels look nice.

Zamani, if you keep rpm below 6500 and use water/meth injection 5 psi would be no problem for your motor. Without water injection it will probably suffer from detonation.
