Nice move going to COP.
 
Strange the RacerX cam sensor is done so poorly. He normally does things quite nice but that just looks odd. Will you be making a cover or just leave it like that? Crank trigger being adjustable too?
 
Certainly looks alot more serious now thats for sure!

holy****balls!
 
that is epic...great work!

Dumb question. But what is the slotting on the trigger wheel for? Setting the base timing or something?
 
Looks like you'll be in the 300KW club with this one.

Needs a cover like this

I found out something surprising when I talked to MRC recently...apparently my turbo is actually a GT3082R, but all this time we thought it was a GT3076R! For those who don't know, a GT3082R has the turbine from a GT3076R and the compressor from a GT3582R.
The reason this situation came about is because my turbo was very briefly used by a different workshop on a different engine before ending up on MRC's shelf for a while, then MRC sold it to me for a good price because it had been used (for a very very short time). MRC was told that it was a GT3076R, so the workshop which originally used the turbo is at fault for misinforming MRC.

This discovery might explain why the turbo has slightly more lag than I initially expected it to have, but still a bit less lag than a GT3582R.
The GT3086R may have a reputation for having a 'mismatched' turbine and compressor, but I've been happy with it (and of course I've been oblivious to the mismatch all along)! I've never experienced compressor surge or anything like that.

The only reason I'm even mentioning this is to avoid misinformation on the forums.

Some more progress to report.
The engine is back in the car, and most of the hard stuff is done. The fuel lines and FPR have been relocated for the new fuel rail system, the CAS and COP wiring has been partiallly completed, the throttle cable has been extended and mounted to a custom bracket on the plenum, the holes in the boot firewall (from the original A2W IC) have been patched up, etc.
 
I love how easily the fuel rail and purple ID2000 injectors can be seen with the new plenum:

 
Here is the new PWR front mount heat exchanger for my A2W IC system. The core size (without the end tanks) is 480x230x32. PWR custom-made it according to a drawing provided by MRC. The air conditioning system is retained. I have a copy of the CAD drawing by PWR, and the drawing number is "PWH62619". So, if anyone wants the same heat exchanger, you can just call PWR and provide that drawing number.

 

 

 
*EDIT*
I got some photos of the Johnson CM90 water pump installed (these photos were taken at a later date after the above photos of the heat exchanger were taken)...
 
This shows the pump location, and where the horn was relocated on each side of the car:

 
The specs sticker on the pump (it might be too hard to read after the image is compressed):

 
Looking down through where the left pop-up headlight normally goes, with the front of the car at the top of the photo:

 

MRC just sent me a few photos of the OS Giken R2CD twin plate clutch.
