Well i have to say i dont know yet about the engerneering side of things, Its still regerstered as a 2L. I have a few loop holes i can use if i need to. My engerneer here will not do a supercharged v6 in my car so i am going to make in NA and put the supercharger back on after. Stock it is only 230hp so that should be no problem. 500hp? flywheel or wheels?? Thats pritty good, should be a rocket with that much. Do you know how much the v6 cossie weighs?? Mine with supercharger(no flywheel) came in at 160kg. I will be pushing to get 400Rwhp/300RwKW. If i have 250-260kw atw and 600+Nm torque by 2000rpm i think it will keep quite happy. You will alway get more HP from turbos but you will never get the torque curve of a supercharger.[:p] Im having a sook tonight because i have to get the crank ground on the big ends, and new bearings[:(!] So i figured while i have it apart i am getting the heads ported. Gasket matched on the inlet and getting the exausts ported as well, possibly new cam and valve springs and New roller rockers and rings. More money and its still not going[:(!][8~2][8~2]. Oh well i figure its better to do it while it is apart and it will be totally rebuilt then. should add about 50-70RWHP. That should put me up around 250atw, with bigger injectors and port the blower should put me around 270-280RWHP. This is about all i want for starters. Later a Autorotor or Whipple screw type blower ($3000) and that will give me another 100HP[:x)] Im talking in Hp as this is what the guys from the USA with these motors are talking in. Another couple of weeks and i hope to have it back together. Then to sort out the wireing loom[8~2][8~2][8~2].

Ayamisu: Do you have room for a twin turbo setup? must be a narrow V. I looked at the idea of feeding the supercharger with twin turbo but i barely have room for my 1 5/8 primary headers to fit down inbetween the chassis. I could have mounted them up high maybe but i decided the if i ran a good screw type blower the extra effort to fit turbos wouldnt realy be worth it except fo the WOW factor. Im not into that so if i can keep it all out of sight, thats the way i will do it.

Yes there is a little bit of room there. I am putting an airbox, intercooler pipeing and electric water pump on the drivers side and on the pasenger side the alternator and intercooler piping, all that room is taken up on mine. Anything over about 250Kw wont realy be usable i would think. just makes it more fun[:x)][:x)][:x)]

Well update for those who are interested. I now have my new cam, hardened pushrods, double valve springs, big end and main bearings and molly rings, Getting the crank big ends reground this week and the heads have been ported, I have to polish them yet and then they are in for reassembly.  Hope to have it all back together in the next couple of weeks. I have got to, and cut all the engine original mounts off the cross member and made up some new ones to fit on EL falcon mounts. These should be strong enough and are fully captive. I have the engine and gear box sitting in the shell where i want them so i can finish off the motor mounts. Then onto the firewall and trans tunnel. I will post some pics of the mounts when finished. Looking very nice, PROGRESS[%][%][:x)][:x)][:x)] Download Attachment: engine mounts01.JPG107.61 KB The mounts are only tacked and not finiched yet but it is looking good. I have turned the crossmember around and I am going to get a power steering rack from a ford Corsair and fit it on. it is 2 1/2 turns lock to lock. It has the right amount of thro and body and just needs the rods shortened and re-threded for my tie rod ends. I will be fitting a suport bearing at the end of the steering column and run uni's down to the steering rack. Download Attachment: engine mounts02.JPG106.38 KB I have mounted the motor a fair way back but because i had to mod the fire wall and tunnel any way it is tight but will fit realy nicely.

Looks very nice mate. Dont worry once you get 250rwkw you will want more. You can never have enough power. :)

That is so very true. I will only have about the 210kw for starters. Then ill be insearch for more.[:p][:p][:p][:p] Well i got side tracked today. Sick fo the wheels hitting on the floor pan and guard when hard on the brakes and turning slightly.[:(!] So I whiped up the start of a AntiDive kit with 13mm of caster built in. 13mm is a lot but because all the guards and front nose cone have been modded i should be able to get away with that much. Just playing around but i think dropping the sway bar 50mm might be a bit much. Ill have to have a good look at the situation on sunday.

Well i jacked the car up and with the sway bar dropped 50mm the bar is still running down 10mm from the front mounts to the anchor point in the lower control arm. It make heaps of difference under brakes. Only went for test up the road. I am about to take it for a good flex to see what effect the extra caster (13mm forward) and antidive has on handeling. looks good all painted up.

Well it turns in much better with castor. I can actually see the castor now.  I have gone from toe out to a fair bit of toe in so i will have to get that done properly and get the camber done also. I have removed my second, 18mm sway bar and it feels more stable in corners now with less body role[x2x], maybe im just imagineing things there but it feels a lot better.    Dives very little under brakes and has lots less under steer in corners. im very happy with the resalts.[:x)][:p] Onto the next job on the list.[%][%]

some awsome bodywork goin on there, can i offer my personal opionion and say perhaps a different colour to white? white is so common and dont feel like will highlight all that time you hav spent on the body. what about somethin with a bit of depth? hot house green or sumthin? or...pink [:X]haha jks. good work tho. how did / do you get 17's through regency?

I reckon the red off the Mazda 3 would look great on an RS. It's sort of a dark red, with a light red pearl through it, looks stunning. Along with some shiny black bumpers, grille, and decals it'd look awesome.

Thanks guys. Its been a lot of hard, time consuming work i can tell you. I havent got anything engerneered yet as it is still rego'd as a 2L. If i get pulled up im screwed.[xo][8~2] I am running 16x7.5's at the moment but the back tyres are about bald so i mite have to swap back to the 17x8's again soon. Part of the reason why i was going white was so i dont draw so much attention, I love RS's in white and it doesnt stand out so much.[%][%][%] I was thinking phantom purple but i think i will do my other RS that color.  It should be ready for painting soon to i think.

I only done the guards because they were already butchered with flares and figured while i was re-doing them why not make it to i can get it low on 17" rims. For people to look at, it looks a lot tuffer than a standard RS even thou they may not be able to work out why. If you paint a car up, people expect it to be good and go well. If it blends in it comes up and bites them in the bum
