time to put some photos of the quite finished job on my car... now with a twin turbo engine i did built from scratch
I purchased the car in February 2007 and did a lot of things during this years. The car was mecanically good, but i did a lot of works just for fun
I started as usual from little things and then the more i did the more i learnt...On the end of 2008 i did my first frame off, just for checking the conditions of the frame and taking out the engine wich needed an head gasket job. I did rebuilt the original engine and gave it a bit more hp with a DMCH exhaust and some other trick on the injection ( volvo gear etc )
I had some fun with the original engine for more than an year ^^ but soon discovered the brakes and suspension limits...
So i did a pair of other little jobs on the car
This winter i decided to galvanise the frame for being the last time to make a frame off ^^
Paint
And then endind with putting in a new engine...
I grew up a passion for the PRV engines the more i learnt about them... so i started for looking around, and found a turbo 2.5lt Z7U730 from an Alpine GT Turbo and a 2849cc Z7W efi from an Espace to play with.
So this winter i started the twin turbo project with the 2.5 Z7U engine...
This way a lot easier to work on the engine...without the rear frame section ^^
Oil - Water heat exchanger.
Moved spark distributor back - Space in the gearbox clutch housing for the RPM sensor of the EFI inj. - Hoses routing...
Welding muffler ^^ The muffler is still the Flowmaster unit of the old DMCH exhaust. Lot of noise but quiter now with the turbos ^^
Rechecking distribution... very easier and quick now
This is the actual resoult. I bought the V legend intake from Ed
( still have to pay for it at the moment lol )The air connection are temporary. I will be study a pair of chargecooler somewhere in the future...
Lot of hoses lol
Added an oil cooler also. With lot of power the heat goes high ^^
For the EFI im using now the original Renix Fenix 3 injection. I runs nice but it is a very old and closed unit, so im going to replace it with something other. I worked to remap a later Fenix 3B but i still need some injection parts, and this will be the next work in the soon future.
And finally the most important question...what about HP ??
...still dont know, but it runs very nice... Surely more than 200hp at the engine, wich the Z7U started with... very fun to drive... video soon...but I want to make better the Injection with the new EFI...IF someone has any question or want a particolar photo let me know...
TT
