Supercharged K20a2 Vtec - Race Spec by cptkirk

Sterring column is from Zcars and I believe it is called the SVA column, but I am not 100% on that, I checked my invoice and all it says is 'Steering Column' ????

Stock rack used, however the new positioning on the front subframe means that the rack has moved, which has left a particularly large and awkward hole the try and watertight.

The brackets for mounting the brake/clutch pedal box were fab'd by Zcars as part of the race spec kit.

Dont worry about asking questions, always glad to help if I can.

Yep I planned a summer project but there were delays that meant I couldnt collect until October. Yes it is feckin freezing working on the it, I managed to get the garage up to the heady heights of 13 degrees celsius for two days then the gas ran out and I was back down to 9 which took the cold bite off the metal but you could still see your breath, it was -1 outside.

Dynamat - use a heat gun when applying and one of the dynamat rollers or similar and you get good results, apart from the bits were you cant get the roller due to frame being in the way. Beware of sitting on the dynamat once it place as the black stuff sticks like sh!t to a blanket and is now firmly stuck to the ar5e of my trousers.

I am aiming for completion by the L2B in May, unfortunately I wont be able to do anything to the car in Feb as I am having a back operation which means no work for a month and no touching the car. In a twisted way I am looking forward to it as it means when I do get back to working on the car it wont hurt like f*ck any more, building a car and a bad back do not go well. I have to find things that other peole can do for me for a month.

I have been quiet on here for a while as I have been flat out trying to get as much done as poss before I go under the knife on Thursday.

So here goes, if you to come in to my garage and look you would probably say that I hadnt done a thing as I am in the midst of doing all the little jobs that take the time and look like you ahve achieved next to nothing.

So the car took a trip down from Notts to West Sussex exactly two weeks ago today, and is now living in my tiny little single garage in which I dont even have the room to swing a mouse, never mind about a cat. Still it is nice and cosy and I can get the temperature up to something near comfortable now.

So I made a start on mounting the fuse board/wiring loom (AKA 'The Snakes Wedding') and mounting the reservoir for the pedal box.

Bent up some ali sheet for the fuse board to live on (note the pedal box is out - again):

Made a mounting bracket for the reservoir:







Then I went about mounting the fuse board:






And over last weekend I have been moutning the engine wiring loom and making steps towards watertighting the rear bulkhead, a few snaps for a flavour:

Aiming for 300BHP and 200ft/lb torque. Thats what this setup is getting in the Elises, however the exhaust is slightly different and I have a few other bits that may help me get there. Later down the line I intend to intercool and get a few more ponies from it but thats a bit of a way off.
