The inlet manifold has a bend in so it misses the PAS pump which isn’t the best design, I’m getting a new exhaust over the winter so just thought about an ex manifold as well.
It’s not heavy at all when parking possibly a little lighter
#62: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventryPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:10 pm ---- i have found that the downpipe/ cat is only 2" i.d so i am going to change this to 2.5" i.d as i think its holding it back abit, and new exhaust cat back aswell. ill let you know if it helps
#63: Re: RC track car (update) Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:46 pm ---- Sounds like a decent idea. I believe for 200bhp you need a minimum of 2.5". There was a feature in a magazine I have that states the required exhaust sizes for particular power outputs.
Could that Saxo PAS pump have sat on a bracket on top of the gearbox mount? Would mean there would be no need for drilling the car for a new mount.
#64: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventryPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:48 pm ---- ye hopefully, would like a proper manifold like yours really but I think a diff would make a bigger difference for the price.
Ye I think you probably could mount it there and just get the original pipes modified to suit. That’s where the coil is on mine so had to go sum where else so put it down low to keep the weight low to the ground
#65: Re: RC track car (update) Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 11:52 am ---- A couple of interesting articles on exhausts and manifolds for power outputs, do these figures agree with those in your magazine?
#66: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventryPosted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:30 pm ---- what magazine?
#67: Re: RC track car (update) Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:43 pm ---- It was in Practical Performance car ages ago. I'll dig through my archives and see if I can find it. If I remember correctly it was written by an engineer who works for Jaguar.
#68: Re: RC track car (update) Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 7:45 am ---- Just looking at your 106 pas pump if you've converted to the elec pump why have you still got the old one piped up? As I thought the elec ones have there own resivor? Or has it been taken out after your up date?
As I'm planning on doing the same but just need some info before I order the bits
#69: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventryPosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:02 pm ---- I’m not using the electric pump yet as I haven’t changed my inlet manifold so I left mechanical pump on whilst I was testing the electric one. The electric pump works well and is all ready to go when/if I change the manifold.
spike_202, there’s some pictures of the rad mounting a few pages back.

#71: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventryPosted: Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:37 am ---- It had a standard diff before so can’t compare. The flywheel is from TTV I think it’s the same as the pug1off flywheel just much cheaper if you buy it direct from TTV
#72: Re: RC track car (update) Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Apr 24, 2012 1:08 pm ---- yer i had a good look mate thanks just looking around for a rad for mine atm, i have a pug1off L&B fly wheel on mine, had it put on when they did all my work.
also i don't suppose you could give me the measurements for your rad would you mate? as im trying to get one that fits under the trumpets
#73: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventryPosted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:36 am ---- Spike hope you got the rad sorted
After two track days this year I think the car needs to lose some weight so I have made a new back box and got some TD 1.2 wheels. The original back box was 15KG an my new one is under 5kg. The new wheels a about 3kg lighter each so that’s a good saving on un sprung weigh. Hopefully I should have some plastic windows soon an the passenger seat will be removed. Not got any good pictures yet though.
The gripper diff is brilliant by the way.

#74: Re: RC track car (update) Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:47 am ---- Hay steve nar the cars going into pug1off on Wednesday for the elec pas conversion uprated engine mounts and fitting a shorter rad then getting it remapped along with all my mods I have to put on so have a look at my project
#75: Re: RC track car (update) Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 8:28 am ---- Nice project... Sorry to hijack, but looking for uprated drop links for my own 180 and rather than p*ss in the wind with the universal jobs, can you let me know where you got yours from...
