SR20DET powered Westfield

[Scotty_s13]

This should be off the hook...

[TheChin]

Look at you getting all "Ganster!"

Looking good Dan, my friend is selling a cossy turbo caterham. Only £10k

[Petrol]

Looks good I love Westfield's Oh and subcribed

[flanss14]

Hay Dan, looks like sweet starting point with that chassis! and at this rate you'll have it finished for the summer. I've currently got a Luego with a Sr20 lump in it. Even with 250-260 its a bloody handfull so yours will be mental. I have a thread here if you need any ideas

i had to cut the chassis quite abit to get the engine back, aswell as trimming the box like you have.

Good engine choice though. better than the typical Cossi.

Ps im Only In Leighton Buzzard so if you need anything drop me a pm

[Jeffers_S13]

Nissan powered 7's FTW ! I chose the best engine though we should have our own stand at Prescott.

[flanss14]

Whens Prescott James! oh BTW bit late now but i should have told you about last saturday. All the Dax boys went to Shakesperes raceway for the fastest Caterham shootout.

The quickest was Duncans hyabusa Turbo'd Rush. 11.4 iirc I olny managed a 12.7@109

PM'd to avoid thread hijack

Little update from Sundays work, and the engine is in (well mostly)

Had to relocate the alternator to the exhaust side, easy enough just knock up a bracket to accept the alternator:-





Fitted the flywheel:-



Then came the fun task of fitting the gearbox down the tunnel anyhow after a bit of chopping it went it.



Gear shifter location:-




Then the engine had to be plonked in (thanks to evilchap and veefS13 for turning up at the crucial point or mating the gearbox to the engine , )





Now all I need is to do some wiring find a D-Jetro or similar and plumb in the I/C

Will keep you updated.

Nice project and good engine choice Dan
There is a D-jetro for sale here on the forum, its got nothing to do with me but i think its a good price LINK

Nice project Dan how low does the engine sit from the ground?

[Dan@DB-Power]

At the moment the sump is about an inch from the ground planning on lifting the engine a little higher over the weekend though

Dan

[warner]

It still looks high?? Are you going to need a bonnet bulge/raise the bonnet at all?
You should make a kit for this when your done
SR'd 7

[M.D.]

wow thats gone in quick, looks very snug in there, amost like your going to have to make a custom inlet

top mount turbo should help with space too i should immagine,

id be tempted to leave the engine as low as you can but cut the sump up a bit and make it wider to make up for the lost oil capacity.

does look very tall in there, you sure its going to fit lol

[Egon]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus....thats gonna be a handful...
Good luck mate...

[gander]

rb30 still in bits but i have all the other bits, pumps and arp studs to get it going . no time though.

what colour is it going to be?

It's going to need a bulge/vent on the nose cone which will lead into a bulge on the bonnet

Will have fun with fibreglass soon.

I've work out that a 30mm bulge should cover it, but it's amazing how tall the SR is

I think the inlet will be ok, but I will have to chop the throttle face off the plenum and just angle it more towards the engine, minor work though

The sump is currently about 6cm off the ground, (was an inch). I'm going to see how it copes, but I think the whole car needs raising as the chassis is only 7cm off the ground and most speed bumps are 10cm, I have a feeling I will bottom out

Yeah your not the 1st to say that, I hope it will be controllable though

Build Build Build

It will be black and orange but I haven't decided on which way i.e. body orange wheel guards black or vice versa. Anyone photoshoppers out there want to try

Dan

[M.D.]

body orange and arches black would be perfect,

reminds me of my old fiesta

[flanss14]

Hay Dan,

Looks good so far

Are you planning on running an intercooler or chargecooler. My engine's gettin bloody hot at the moment. Bit of a knightmare with a chargecooler rad in front of the engine rad.

Also with all that air coming in the front the bonnet lifts because the air can't get out fast enough. The Dax boys are all fitting these side pannels...

http://home.wanadoo.nl/daxrush/images/DAX-RUSH-MC.jpg

just an idea. Im going to try it on mine soon.

[CNHSS1]

guy on pistonheads thats got a SR20'd Westy

[Dan@DB-Power]

I'm going intercooler at the moment, but I have thought about under bonnet temps, I will have a few vents though but I do like those side vents

Also that converter you made for the SR20 prop to Sierra diff, you wouldn't happen to have a drawing of that would you? or am able to make one? Seen the sierra's props and they don't look that strong

Dan
