Peer Review! -ST185 GT4 Modification

[Squid]

I second that, the 165 will be having holes cut in the bonnet, it is just too damn hot under there.

What Richard said is pretty close to what I am doing in the 165, but I have the 205 engine and I am going to run on stock internals till it pops! I am however using a T04E turbo and I will probably do 264 degree cams too.

Underdrive pulley, 2200cc Stroker kit and upgraded crankshaft has been cut from the plans.

BOV will be plumb-back and does not release to the atmosphere, so no phwoosh.

Looking into modifying the ST184 bonnet to allow heat dissipation... I want a sleeper, so the bonnet must stay. Heatwrapping all the lines (air, oil and fuel) will hopefully aid in this too. And a turbo heat-bag.

Also, thanks to -==L=a=N=c=E==- for his suggested plans which I will look into as a definite possibility, though the Whiteline works kit does not factor coilovers into the plan, I have looked into that.

Just wanted the post to go to the top one last time to make sure everything that's had to be said is said.

I cannot thank you all enough for guiding me through this ideas and giving me a good education on the right type of mindset for modification. It's been a valuable lesson I'll not soon forget.

Looking very forward to having the build ready and up on the site as a testament to the friendliness of Toymods community.

Thankyou all again.

Nick.
