[QUOTE=Zzz...Zzz;4225421]Time for a little update...

Had a (new) setback, wich isn't very hard to fix, just extreeeeeamly boring and none motivating stuff to do...

It seems the size of the Tremec3650 and the TKO housing is not as similar as the spec's say they are.. so with the real trans fitted , we did not get the angle of either the engine or the trans right...
Yep, up with the angle grinder again..... :S

This was not the dream stuff to fettle with now as the car is coming together...

The new "lid" getting there....

On the other side you can see the profile of the new centre console, wich will be made out of alu and carbon

Mixed updates.. :

The Dash is getting quite digital, the main 8" instrumet in centre talk to the engine management and other stff trough can-bus, and a 12.2" lcd to the right wich is connected to the cars on board computer, whom will have quite a few tasks on board... you'll see those later , the sound system will of course also be based around the computer as well.

Two channel wide band lamda instrument to the left in the picture,theese two corrected signals are also fed to the engine management, wich in turn also has it's separate wida band lambda sensors. 100% controll on lambda values has got a high priority after many years of engine tuning.

Looks pretty good for a 30 year old for

rear :

front :

details front :

Quite spacious for wheels/tyres at front as well

Fuel system soon complete.

Convenient to be able to let most of the front be able to come off...

Clutch and brake reservoairs in place and plumbed.

Not to happy about doing welding,priming,grinding and painting again...takes its toll on motivaton theese summer days.... :S[/QUOTE]

from the owner
Glad you enjoyed spending time reading about it

Yeah, I wanted something very extreme and very different, guess it gonna be just that..

We have decided to use the small turbos for starters, and get a feeling of the car. They run out of air at about 1750hp.
We actually have put alot of effort of the engine design(heads) in making as "little" torque as possible, instad giving the engine good reving capability with good Hp numbers over the rev range(will rev to 9500) and less torque.
Nevertheless it will produce somwhere -+ 1500nm over a very(almost too) broad range.

Top speed? haha, how fast would you go in a granada shaped car?
Will easily do abit above 300km/h, as I did 296km/h with the YB in it.

Cheers"

I'd be happy without any turbos tbh!!!!!

I honestly think in 10 years of cars, that this seriously is the most maddest modified car ever to grave the earth.

Jun 1000bhp Skyline in the late 90's, meh, childsplay....

I think pro rata, the Callaway Sledgehammer was so far ahead of it's time that it will always be the ultimate for me Daimo

This car has inspired another V8 Granada to be pushed out of the shed, and into the workshop. Nicely done. All that fabrication is top class.

Sadly not at this time. It is a Mk2 Granada, Rover V8, 4sp manual transmission. It has been sat idle for years in storage, but my mate promises me he is going to get to work on it... He is thinking of a new turn key 4.6 V8, and ZF auto...
