Getting a lot done so maybe longer? It's a painful wait that's for sure! I wonder if i can make it for tracks hmmm? Lol
What do you mean by a lot done? Explain
I look forward to you updating with the V6'd result

Oh and climate control had to come out as engine won't fit!
Defiantly going to attend more meets when it's finished! Hope
It's finished before trax
#78: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is out* p5 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 10:42 am ---- Did it cost extra because of the clutch type coversion?
And does the V6 weigh enough to compromise handling? Just curious
#79: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is out* p5 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 11:31 am ---- Yeah extra for the following, exhaust from manifold to back box, hydraulic clutch conversion and a single piece driveshaft.
Not sure about the engines weight but it is designed for a coupè.
P.S the engine is in the bay!!!! Wiring it in today

That engine in a SW Si would be perfect combination.

Is that because the SW has slightly more weight at the back to give better distribution?
#83: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: 00budham00, Location: IpsPosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 7:20 am ---- snug whats does the v6 in bhp push ?
#84: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 7:54 am ---- 215bhp without any turbos so am told will like to put on a dyno

Nope, just because you wouldnt expect an SW to be fast!
#87: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 9:31 am ---- I noticed there is a Catcams application for the V6...
#88: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:53 am ---- It can be turboed too but I'd probably keep it as is I'm going from 90bhp to 215 which is a big jump
