K20 Rotrex/sequential/dry sump'd Pug 106

Hello guys, I've started my k20 pug 106 project now. In the next few months things should start to shape up nicely.

The main goal of my car is to make it as fast as possible for the money I have. There are no restrictions like there would be in some race series cars.

The general goal is to get the weight down to around 800kgs (roughly 1750lbs) and for the engine to produce around 450hp.
This project is by no means all about power, there will be a proper roll cage installed, digital dash, widetrack suspension, remote reservoir dampers and some nice brakes.

Here are a few taster pictures for now while I get some proper progress together..

Here's how it started

Designed and machined my own mounts (k-swap mounts would hit my chassis)

Add this into the mix and things get interesting

Add these things get more interesting

Lots more things happening including tilton pedal box and chassis work.

I'll keep it updated, this will be pretty nasty

That hood looks great!

That's just awesome Dan. Really looks amazing- aaannd bloody light too!

Dansk20pug · Feb 16, 2015

Thanks guys

Well an update ?..

Managed to get the car together and setup properly.
Over the last few months I've had serious issues with the handling and the car warning to pull me all over the place. After spending quite a lot of time and money on suspension setup and gearbox it turns out to be the steering rack had play in it. Since that's been sorted the car drives a million times better and actually is a pleasure to drive.

Even managed to do a trackday last weekend. Some improvements to be made and some issues to sort but nothing major.

Nice update. Car looks clean.

What was the problem with the steering rack?

Dansk20pug · Mar 1, 2015

Cheers

There is a large adjusting grub screw on the underside of the rack. This adjusts the tolerance between the rack and pinion. It was too lose so it was allowing my to twist the rack at the point where the steering arms attach to.

Some videos. Max boost 14psi, LOTS of setup still to do and only pushing 60% as its my first trackday in the car and there was a hell of a lot to take in

Think your vids maybe private mate.. links just take you to Youtube home page...

Epic build btw!

Dansk20pug · Mar 5, 2015

Search for k20 rotrex 106 Mallory and you should find it.

Cheers mate

Dansk20pug · Mar 5, 2015

Well my Rocker cover reacted really badly so thought it was about time to get it sorted.

I sent it to a place called spooner restorations to get refurbished and they did a great job I think. Looks cool

Dansk20pug · Mar 7, 2015

Better picture

CAFROG · Mar 7, 2015

Very Clean :up:

Tutuur · Mar 8, 2015

Tidy car as ever mate! Good to see you can finally use it

Dansk20pug · Mar 8, 2015

Cheers ?

Been putting some miles on the car. I've adjusted the BBG so now it's pretty much on the limit of grip in 1/2/3/4th and I've limited the engine to 16psi to make sure it lasts me a little while. It feels extremely fast.. bonkers quick really for what it is etc.

Been having issues with fuel injectors.. I bought them off a seller on here but cannot for the life of me remember who it was..
I'm trying to source a new injector and injector Dynamics want a part number off the injector but I don't think mine have them.. have a I bought dodgy non genuine ID1000's??

Dansk20pug · Apr 3, 2015

Can anyone tell me if these are real or "fake" ID1000??? I bought them from a guy off here and they are causing me problems

ben45r · Apr 3, 2015

they are bosch injectors.
i always put them now!
ID buys bosch injectors and sell them twice price for a fucking anodised adaptor added

now, your problem is we cannot see the complete reference because it was intentionally removed: 0 280 158 ...

4dvti · Apr 12, 2015

Have you had them tested, Dan?

I have a set of genuine ID1000s from when they were first released some 4-5 years ago. I'm not sure if they will vary from current IDs but I can dig them out for you for a comparison if you like?

Dansk20pug · Apr 12, 2015

Sorry for the late reply

I bought a new set of genuine Injector Dynamics.. so I've sorted the issue although at a cost.
Even if the ID1000 are just 're branded Bosch injectors I like the fact they match them properly and have a unique number so if one fails you can order a single one that should be identical flow to the one that failed.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've recently got back from my trip at the Nurburgring.. had a great time and it was an emotional trip as it was in honour of my best friend who last away last year. 50 people went for the same reason so it was a big trip.

I didn't do many laps in the car as I was suffering from some small issues but when it was working it really impressed me. There is lots of potential in the car.
I need to look at getting a dry sump kit (integrated dry sump) and find a better CV joint as i went though 4 on the weekend trip.

This car has plenty of propulsion :up:. Was it your first ride in the "Grüne Hölle" or as you guys translate it wordly "Green Hell"?

BTW...do the oil sump has baffles?

Dansk20pug · May 27, 2015

And this is what the whole trip was about... a group of good friends together celebrating the life of a great guy in the place he loved the most.
That is his car in this picture.. his Dad came on the trip and bought his car along which was nice.

AWOC · May 27, 2015

Very cool gathering! I hope I get the same treatment from my friends!

Sup with your CV axles? Going through four of them is a bit extreme. Are they too short?

Dansk20pug · May 27, 2015

He was a great guy with a lot of respect.

The driveshafts themselves are holding up.. It's just the CV joint. I'm sorting out a much larger cv joint which should be up for the task. And I'll also run an aftermarket grease as i think I'm heating up the grease and it's breaking down.

AWOC · May 27, 2015

Are they breaking due to torsional forces or the ball cage blowing up?

Dansk20pug · May 27, 2015

The ball cages are falling to bits... nearly had a big accident at about 130mph when one failed and tried putting me into the barrier.. I've got it on film. Scary at the Nurburgring

CAFROG · May 27, 2015

Sorry to read about your friend. I'm glad you guys got to celebrate his life in such a way.

Very unique trailer. The tandem tires are spaced apart much more than my trailer. I wonder if it affects the turning ability when backing it into a specific location (Tires barking)?

Dansk20pug · May 28, 2015

The trailer was perfect.. towed nice and straight. Only problem is it's much too big for my car really.. I will hire a smaller one next time.

Here's a video of my 2nd lap of the ring in this car

https://youtu.be/XW22w8ssBWo

Dansk20pug · Jun 1, 2015

Cheers

although it was only my second lap in that car pushing around 40%.. plenty to come from the car

Dansk20pug · Jun 3, 2015

Due to getting some oil pressure issues.. and I'd like to go k24 in the future I've put my name down for the integrated dry sump setup.. looking forward to seeing the results
