2.0 Redtop mini on its way (now 172bhp at the wheels)

[Allan McD]

I have just bought a Vauxhall Calibra redtop and plan to build an Allspeed framed racer.I am collecting the car tommorow picks to follow :lol:
Allan

[XEValver]

sweet! I'll be watching with interest...

and very unhappy if you get it done before me! (joke! :lol: )

whats the plans for the shell? stadard?extended?clubby?

good luck!

[Allan McD]

It will be a round nose probably extended but only by the shortest amount that makes the job easy.
Allan

[BassAddict]

Blimey Allan - are you planning to setup business building 16v minis !! :lol:
Seriously though, good luck with it mate - and hope it goes as quickly as the others :) !!!

[noisymini]

I think we may be witnessing a medical first.

16 valve Mini building obsessive compulsive disorder

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[WRB560]

You will have completed 3 cars in the time it's taken me to strip and put the subframe in mine. Looks good though, keep us up to date with pics, it will good motivation for me. 8)

@ noisymini :D

Will

[Allan McD]

I havnt done anything yet as I am just geting over the flu but I have ordered most of the bits sub frame etc just to tell the wife how much it all is :shock:
Allan

[Allan McD]

Allan

[Woody]

I realy love the petrol cans used as axle stands whilst welding !!!!

[Allan McD]

They work fine and I aint blown myself up yet but I get your point.
I have thought it was stupid a few times but I dont have high stands :?
Allan

[Richspec]

Allan

Excellent work in such a short space of time! BUT

If you can afford KAD bits and pieces surely you can afford some proper high stands???

Would hate to see such an enthusiastic 16V owner squished :wink:

end of public safety announcement :!: :lol:

Rich

[Allan McD]

I have just finished fitting a CAD anti roll bar
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/anti-roll-bar.JPG
Also new brake drums (check out my new ally floor in the boot)
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Beam-axle.JPG
I have near all the paint removed from the shell so I should be able to get it painted in primer before the weekend is over.
Allan

[Allan McD]

I got my front Allspeed subframe today (Thanks Matt http://www.16vminishop.co.uk/) just been home and it fitted in 5 mins it still needs a we bit more work but it wont take long now.

doorhandles?

[Allan McD]

doorhandles?
I wasnt going to have any just a button to work the door catch how are yours done :?:
Allan

[evolotion]

http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Dsci0014delock.jpg

im going back to handles shortly, the de-handling never let me down, but could be a real PITA when the doors froze and my attempt at fillign the handle holes kept cracking :lol:

obv the above is jsut a proof of concept on a spare door, a few modifations were made to allwo the interior handle to still push it without astraining the servo (key to longevity, remember mine were in daily use for the last 3 years!) but you get the idea :)

[Allan McD]

Thanks for the reply but frozen doors wont affect my summer toy 8)
I plan just having a small button to push the door mechanism simple and light.
Allan

[Allan McD]

I have got a new cam belt fitted and my throttle bodies near fitted

Here is a pick of my airbox it needs a couple of hors work to finish it.
Allan
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/airbox.JPG

[Allan McD]

I got the exhaust manifold modified it’s the stock manifold but it stuck out to far so I cut a couple of cm’s from the centre two branches re-welded it and a I made a small mod to the subframe to get a bit extra clearance.
Allan
Ps you can see one of the sections I cut out siting on the rockercover in one of the pics
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/exhaust-manifold2.JPG
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/exhaust-manifold.JPG

[Allan McD]

I have been trying for a couple of days to purchase a better exhaust manifold (clearance issues) but no joy.I noticed fbm-spec on here had a neat one and asked where he got it,he made it himself so I bought some tubing this afternoon and made one.

Allan

[bodgeit]

Just out of interest where did you get the tubing from? especialy the bends. are they the same size as original?

Cheers
Matt

[Allan McD]

I got them from a local agricultural supplier they are used in dairy farming The top tubes are 1.5 inch running in to 2 inch which is a we bit bigger than stock I plan to run these in to a 2.5 inch system.
Allan

[bodgeit]

cheers Allan your a star! :D

[Allan McD]

I have got the alternator fitted tonight its coming along but I had a slow weekend to much to do at work :cry:

[Allan McD]

looks good mate.

can you tell me what radiator that is?
The radiator is the stock Calibra one but its a we bit big so I have got a Rover 200 rad which is a lot more sutable I will post some pics tomorrow.
Allan

[Allan McD]

Here are the first pictures of my gear lever setup and my new radiator from a Rover 200 Mk1 I need a beter top hose and a few brackets.

[Allan McD]

She runs
I ran a temp fuel system and joined up the engine wiring harness and it fired up for a few seconds I didnt have water in it and the exhaust is just the manifold so just a few we bursts :lol: :lol:
I am waiting for a LSD so the engine will have to come out again but things are loooking good for a finish date around the end of the month.
Allan

[BassAddict]

Excellent news Allan :) :beer:

[bodgeit]

sweet, wish i could get mine done this quick! :cry:

[Allan McD]

I have near finished making my exhaust just a streght run to the rear now easy job I hope.

[JoeT]

Super duper!

How have you got on fitting it?

[Allan McD]

I fitted it today at lunch time 15 mins no problem.
Allan

[Allan McD]

I lost a few days because I had to go to Gran Canaria 8)
Managed to get it outside today and got the fuell system near sorted and a we video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gzkaV8Ps4c
Its no running well in the video as I had forgotn the lambda :( but its on now and running prety well.
Allan

[Swiftmini]

Nice one mate you really do crack on with these projects.

How do you find the doors fit ok or not ok?

Cheers
Kev

[Swiftmini]

Thats with throttle bodies and megasquirt as well ain't it. Nice.

[Allan McD]

The doors fit ace but I have only driven about 2mph so I dont know if they will stay on :shock:
Allan

[Allan McD]

I am going to York this weekend Minis v Beetles http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/near_finished.JPG

http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/dark2.JPG
Ps I have some new wheels.
Allan

[XEValver]

what arches are they? they look like miglia. what wheel size will you be running?

[Allan McD]

what arches are they? they look like miglia. what wheel size will you be running?
They are miglea arches the wheels are 13"-7" minilight style.

[Allan McD]

I got a bit more done this morning before work and tonight
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/painted.JPG
all of the metal is painted, a bit rough for now but it will do for this weekend all electrics finished (no lights etc for now) wheels on brakes finished.
Allan

[Allan McD]

Here’s an update I went to York last weekend I got one run 1/4 mile with smoke everywhere :cry: and it cut out at the end of the run the engine started again so back to the pits I messed about with the breathers and of I went but before I got to the track it stopped to cut a long story short the fuel pump was goosed it had a bit of aluminium swarf in it.
I tried for a few hours to get a pump with no joy so of home and got one fitted with a pre filter this time back to York at 12pm got half drunk and had a few good runs on Monday best time 14.3.
On Thursday I removed the pistons and ordered new rings and shells which I fitted today after a bit of gas flowing grinding valves and fitting valve stem seals its now running a treat without loads of oil coming out of the breathers :lol:
Allan

[Allan McD]

I have got the car near ready for its first race at Teeside in just over a week holiday monday :lol:
The body work is finished with a home made power bulge on the bonnet
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/bonnet.JPG
I have never raced a car on tarmac before (with corners) I have a lot to learn suspension setings caster etc :? I have a book in the post once I have read it wach out MarkD :wink:
Allan

[JoBu]

Where did you get the arches from? And were they quick delivery?

Only asking as i need some wide miglia arches asap and cant really wait 3-4weeks for Curleys. Although i want Curleys fibreglass ones :?

[Allan McD]

I bought them at Bingleyhall a few months ago I cant remember who from.
Allan

Ready for them hill climbs?!

Matt

[evolotion]

oooooooooooooooh get you and your wee tent ya tart :D

looking good, cant wait to see the latest creation in the flesh :) will she be debuting at crail at any point!?

[Allan McD]

I will be at Crail some time but the way it was handling tonight it may have dents in the roof :shock:
I have new wheels coming this week which will help I hope.
Allan

[evolotion]

sounds fun :) lookign forward to seing it





from a distance. :lol:

[Richspec]

I will be at Crail some time but the way it was handling tonight it may have dents in the roof :shock:

Allan

Whats wrong with the handling Allan??

Rich

[Allan McD]

It wants to throw its self of the road on the straights (torque steer)I have just had delivery of my new wheels which are an inch narower and have very litle offset.I will give it a run today somtime.
Allan

[Swiftmini]

This all sounds very fun. Hope the new wheels sort the problem.

Out of interest its a shame you can't test out a set of tens.

Good luck for when ever your first event is.
Kev

[Richspec]

Are you running one looooong shaft and a short one or a setup with the halfshaft?
How is the suspension setup, castor / camber angles etc?
Check the side to side lengths as well as not every garage thats 'sets the suspension' knows what they're doing :x

I ran (from memory) standard tracking, standardish castor, half a degree negative camber all round (might have been more on the front? ), and used 300Lb coilovers, plus a rear antiroll bar that transformed the handling.

Wheels were 6x13 ultralites and BF goodrich tyres
Rich

[Allan McD]

Both shafts are the same length (halfshaft)
caster 6 deg camber 0 deg for now
side lenghths ??
antiroll bar fitted but I havn't been round a corner yet :shock:
New wheels 6x13 with yokos 048s
Yellow spot cones
I recon if the race is streght I could get to the end without crashing now its loads better now.

[Swiftmini]

side lenghths ??

I think wheelbase from one side compared to other side.

[Richspec]

yes thats what i meant, mine were out after being 'set' castor was wrong, tracking was out etc etc.

[Richspec]

What sort of anti roll bar, and how is it mounted?

Rich

[Allan McD]

Its a cad heres a pick before I got it mounted up properly.
http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/anti-roll-bar.JPG

[XEValver]

is that a hudderfsield rear beam? its very different to mine if it is :shock:

[Allan McD]

Its a hudderfsield rear beam but the bottom bar has been modded.
Allan

[MarkLD]

Hi Allan

I was running a rear anti roll bar on my car with the ATB diff but i found it was making the back end rather twitchy. Changing gear whilst accelerating going around a slight corner caused all manner of twitchyness :lol: I've just removed the anti roll bar for the moment an its transformed the stability.
Might be worth a try by disconnecting the bar and seeing if it makes any difference to your symptons.

Mark

[Allan McD]

I dont trust you as you are the opposition :wink:
I will need to take it for a run tonight if its not WET :( I still havnt been round a corner.
Allan

[MarkLD]

Allan

Thats the other Mark :lol:

[Allan McD]

oop's :oops: :oops:

[JoBu]

How did you fix the arches to the body? Did you use 'L' brackets? Have you got any pics?

[Allan McD]

I just used fiberglass filler P40 I think its called.
Allan
Sorry no picks

[Swiftmini]

Hi Allan.

Have you any idea on what your oversteer issue maybe?

Is it just on lift off that you get it? Or is it Mid-corner or at the exit of the corner?

Kev

[Allan McD]

Its on the way into the corners and in the middle.
Allan

[Swiftmini]

I'm no expert but things i would check and try would be:

Rear toe, Rear Damper settings, Rear Spring rate, Tyre pressures/temperatures.

If your dampers are turned up to much or the springs are to stiff, they could be causing some of the problem.

Does the huddersfield beam have any toe in, i haven't checked mine.

I'll keep thinking, i'm interested because i had amini with cronic oversteer and i never solved it. It caused me to write the car off :?

[Allan McD]

Rear toe is around 1/2 deg out on the near side 1 deg in on the off side Ihave just checked (needs attention shouldnt be difficult to fix)
Soft springs and low damping I tryed removing anti roll bar it was better
Tyre pressures I tryed lowering them as the day progresed but no real help
Allan

[Swiftmini]

I hope that the toe out is the source of the problem, that as you say will be an easy fix.

All i have got is the vizard book and that says that standard is 1/8-inch toe in. And that reducing to 1/16-inch will increase oversteer.

Cheers
kev

[Swiftmini]

Have you got any where with the oversteer problem?

Kev

[Allan McD]

I havnt done any thing as I have been away to th IOM TT for a few days :D
Allan

[Allan McD]

Major update I bought a spare engine which I have just had rebored 0.5mm over size with high comp pistons a set of Q38H cams.
I also have a megasquirt coming soon with a bit of luck.
I hope to have cure the over steer by having a fair bit of tow in at the rear and more camber also I have fitted wider rear wheels but I havnt tryed it yet its not easy seting up a race car on the road :(
Allan

[XEValver]

thats gonna be awesome! 2021cc 8)

with some hot cams, and throttle bodies is going push out dome serious power, high sode of 210+ i'm going to estimate :D

[Andy_S]

Looks like you're taking the Sprint Racing very seriously Allan.

Good luck in the Vaux V's Honda battle, I reckon MarkD might still have the edge with his 'secret weapon' though.

:D

I'm sooooooo cheesed off that I can't find the time (or money for a new cage) to join you guys racing :(

[Allan McD]

I dont fink so :wink:
Allan

[Andy_S]

But I think he's got a Turbo Nitro Jet Rocket Supercharged V10 Mugen Honda Motor which he's installing in the boot.

Or sumfink like that. :shock:

[Allan McD]

I got my new engine in with high lift cams h/comp pistons yesterday managed to get it fired up for the first time with a new Megasquirt.Loads to do yet :shock: but I am ment to be racing on Sunday at Three Sisters.
There are bits all over the place and its not been in gear yet and as for setting up the Megasquirt lets hope its near as it is as time is not on my side :( .
Allan

[Allan McD]

I got the car finished just after midnight Saturday night left for Three Sisters 5am Sunday morning (150 miles) just to be told when I got there I couldn’t race as I didn’t have an MSA Logbook :cry: it seems I shouldn’t have been able to race at Teesside without one :shock:
I am trying to get one organised pronto as I have entered a meeting at Elvington on the 21st.
Allan

[MattG]

bummer !

[Allan McD]

I have just got back from a dyno run :lol: :lol: :lol: 171.7 BHP 6500rpm at the wheels :lol: :lol: :lol: Thats around 200 at the crank.
It produces 141bhp at 5000rpm and 159bhp at 7500rpm so I have a big fat power curve to blow away Hondas.
Allan
Ps there was a we bit wheel spin so maybe it has even more power 8)

[bodgeit]

nice one!

whats the rough engine spec?

Matt

EDIT: if i wasn't so lazy i would have read it above! :oops: i take it it's the same spec as above?

[Allan McD]

The spec is the same Q38H QED Cams , 11.6:1 QED pistons home made exhaust GSXR1000K5 throttle bodies.
Allan

[bodgeit]

cheers Allan :wink:

[XEValver]

bloody hell! thats an awesome result! :D i am aiming for 160 at the wheels 8)

[Richspec]

where was the rolling road allan?

Rich

[Allan McD]

The rolling road is at Galloway Motorsports Newton Stewart (Near Stranraer).
Allan
£50 an hour + vat

[Swiftmini]

Good work!!! I bet it shifts now :D

[mininut]

How much of a difference to not having it set up? are you using engine management?

M.

[Allan McD]

I havnt driven it higher than 2nd gear as its not road legal but it feels good at all rev ranges and it picks up instantly every time I put the foot down I hope it stays that way.
I am running Megasquirt.
Allan

[mininut]

Did they setup part throttle map as well as everything else?l

[Allan McD]

They set the ignition and the fuel maps in most rev ranges and throttle positions and just evened the maps out for the ramaining map points.
He seemed to know what he was on but didnt like the megasquirt or the software because he hadnt used it before but with a bit of prodding from me we got there.
Allan

[BassAddict]

Good result Allan 8) :beer:

That place is briliant but needs respecting.
Allan

[philster]

awesome, tbh it only sounded like the engine was flat out at one point :shock:

[2lrMiniVan]

looks fun would be good if we could see what speeds u are doing :D

[Allan McD]

The throttle was all the way to the floor a lot of the time but it pulls like a train no need to rev its brains out :shock:
The speeds are not as high as it feels with all the trees and armco :shock:
Allan

Still scares the wossname out of me. :D

Nice driving Allan.

[Allan McD]

Still scares the wossname out of me. :D

I am not surprised with your history :lol:
I think I still have 2-3 seconds left in the bag but with near all the corners blind narrow and dangerous it takes a bit to build up.
I have only been up the hill 10 times.
Allan

[Andy_S]

Still scares the wossname out of me. :D

I am not surprised with your history :lol:

I haven't raced long enough to have a 'history' :D
My racing career spans 147 days and 20 competitive runs ........ that might be a history if you were a fly or a moth ....... :wink:

hi allan...
just wanted to know if u have any pics of your finished airbox...???

[Allan McD]

Heres the next picture I had but not compleat its the best I can do.
I had an aly lid on top held with self tappers with the stock Vauxhall air flow meter down the side of the wing.
Allan
Ps it worked well

http://www.16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/new-rad.JPG

[cooper_mark]

also what thickness ally did u use....????..looks about 3mm..

[Allan McD]

The ally is 1.5mm.
Allan

[cooper_mark]

The ally is 1.5mm.
Allan
:wink: thnx allan
1.5mm it is then

[cooper_mark]

just wanted to ask u another couple of question if u don't mind allan.. :wink:
when u made your airbox any idea on sizes......
why did u make your airbox that big..??
could it be made thinner and maybe a little smaller.??

[Allan McD]

I made the box as big as poss with the space available a large air box helps the engine breathe and will produce more power.
Allan

[cooper_mark]

thnx allan..

[rosco454]

Just read the whole thread and looks like a nice build,sounds lovely in the hillclimb video.

Would you recommend the allspeed subframe as im giving the redtop conversion a lot of thought at the moment and planning on using the allspeed frame.

Noticed your not far from where my folks live as they are just down the road from GMC,small world and all that.

Cheers Ross.

[MINI MENTAL]

the last video clips the car sounds like an angry lion :D

[cooper_mark]

what's with these old posts being dragged up........??? this mini is nomore.......is it......??

[garyshoose]

It's Allan pretending to be someone else just so he can show off his trophy cabinet again ;) haha

[Mark D]

It's 2 cars now, the engine is in one and whats left of the shell has a hyabusa lump in the back of it and dont worry his trophy cabinet has grown since that pic was taken, i'm sure he will now update the pic lol!!!

And at least he read the old posts, so the search function must be working!!

[bhphunter]

I thought the shell for the busa racer was an ex miglia that Alan had 'lying' around?

Did always wonder what happened to the vaux racer... and the van turbo... and the pick up vtec...


git!

[MattG]

i have allans back end ;)

who keeps draging these old threads up

Matt

[Andy_S]

I have Allan's coilpack, ECU & ITB's ....... ;)

[Allan McD]

I have some of the car still lying about I may need the shell if I crash (when I crash :()
My trophy shelf is buckling under the weight and I dont think I have a camera with a wide angle lens that can get them all in :cool:
