On this page you can "in-detail" follow the Stage V project
2004-12-16, Went up to Patrik and Alutech this morning with the Rotrex additional parts, discussed how to solve the intercooler problem with a descent symmetrical piping, at least same capacity as the current one, good flow values etc... I think we came up with a resonable solution - I've seen nohting like it on any S/C'ed car out there today, more info as soon as I have something to show!
2004-12-14, The Rotrex parts came up with DHL Today, quite funny they used a Setrab oilcooler (a Swedish brand)
2004-12-14, Tony from VAC got back to me today, the sleeves are supposed to be at VAC at the end of the week
2004-12-13, Just found out from Rotrex that the SP30-94 units was not available anymore (replaced by C30-94 with improved internals on the gear-side), problem is they are not available until March.... thats - big problems
2004-12-13, Trying to get hold of the Oilcooler,cannister and filters from Rotrex, supposed to be sent by DHL Thursday last week
2004-12-10, Mailed Tony at VAC Motorsports requested status on my order of the set of flanged steel-sleeves.
2004-12-10, Took the car to Alutech in Gävle this morning, had a 1 hour discussion with Patrik (thanks for the coffee and leverpastej-sandwich!) about my thougts and plans for the installation of the twin Rotrex setup, leaved the car up there to be able to run the Stage-V-project on two fronts. Patrik/Alutech will work on the Rotrex installation togheter with the new intercooler, cooler, oilcooler, piping, relocation of oilfilter, servo-cannister, and 2000 other small issues that has to be solved, I'll get back to the "second "front" next week
.
btw. a quite intresting drive up there today, the car has been in the garage since SCF, and when going 07.30 am, I realized that water for the wipers had'nt been installed since the paintjob. Took a few stops on the 150km's drive to clean up the windshield to get some visibiltiy, also the grip in the Yokahamas AVS 315/20-19" simply is not the "optimal" for winter conditions....
2004-12-10, Official start for Stage V
