Finally managed to get this thing on the wall! (if you know, you know).
What an awesome feeling it is to finally make some horsepower with this new combo! After the previous clutch failure destroyed a fair amount of parts it’s good to see a result!
Joel has put in a mammoth amount of fabrication work recently to make the vision come to life, not only fitting things into spaces they shouldn’t be in but keeping them flowing and looking good.
Ended up finding the limit of the fuel system so had to call it at this but I think it’s more than enough to achieve the goal we have for the car!
This car is 100% built, wired, fabricated, plumbed, tuned and setup in house at Platinum Tuning.
A massive thanks to the companies that have helped and sourced or supplied parts for this build!
- Haltech in control with a Nexus R3, PDM, IC7, full electronics
- Fueltech Tasmania - Palfs Performance coming in clutch with the 170lb/hr injectors
- Turbosmart for wastegate, fuel system and filters
- plazmaman.com with the killer new W2A Intercooler
- artecperformance with that sweet looking manifold
- Pulsar Turbo Australia for the 7170G turbo
- BYP Racing and Developments for the hookup on the Quaife gearbox and new clutch plus various other parts.
- elusive_racing for a massive amount of engine parts
- Platinum Racing Products for making some kickass ignition coils
But most importantly, the team and family that we have here at Platinum Tuning, without everyone in the background helping out, doing odd jobs or making sure other things are sorted so that this can happen is absolutely unbelievable!
