Lotus K24 RWD
22-04-2011, 07:30 AM
I am putting a K24 into a Lotus 7 replica.
I am using a supra W series transmission with a cast bell housing with a 4.1 sierra cosworth diff.
The frame is a McGregor Motorsport custom chassis.
Engine was built for me by Car Aid in Christchurch.
Oversize wiseco pistons 13-1 comp
Eagle Rods
Cometic gaskets
ARP bolts all round
OBX quad Itb's
Evo 450 injectors
Link G4 ecu
So after enduring 2 earthquakes and having to fix my workshop twice I have finally made some progress.
I had the bellhousing pattern machined after I did the CAD drawing and afetr some minor adjustments I got it right.
Then off to the foundry to cast the 1st item. This took about 10 days and then I took it for the CnC machining at a mates place.
The final item looked great and fitted perfectly.
I then fit the motor into a frame and I was happy with the result.
I have some more work to do but in principle it will work and now I can concerntrate on building the car.
I have few other projects on the go as I am restoring 2 vintage race cars so progress will be a bit slow but I have to pay the bills first.
Here are some pics.
