This is awesome! I need to learn to weld

This is awesome! I need to learn to weld

Many would say, So do I....lol

[klunk]

It will all be fine when it's ground back Looks OK to me, Ive seen 'Specialists' charge £££ for welding that looks worse than that, Doesnt matter what it looks like so long as its got good penetration, Small bit of time as you say with a disc and it will look sorted.

[graemewelch]

Its nice when you put a weld down that dosnt need dressing though. Ive worked with lads who spend more time grinding there welds than what they do welding. Not what you expect from a skilled welder.

A good weld looks ok coz it penetrated both pieces that are being weld. Pigeon ££££ welding has no penetration.

[M-R-P]

Love it when both flanges get full penetration and yer nozzle gets nice and hot ;)

Are you using the Vauxhalls as donors for the steel? ;)

[Dangerous Dave]

Are you using the Vauxhalls as donors for the steel? ;)
Don't be silly, there's no useable material anywhere in a Vauxhall

Space-framing a wheelie bin?

[claymore]

Well after a couple of weeks forced brake from the project (Turbo failure in the T-5R and too much work) I hope to crack on this week so at last I've finished welding up the rear OS, Turret and most of the Front OS (can't finish until I get the subframe back off)

Work getting in the way of the T10 project.....you really must get your priorities right Colin.

Keep up the great work.

Is there a sudden rush on sewing machine repairs? ;)

[MoleT-5R]

If you need a hand mate, I could come over and help with the weld-a-thon

[claymore]

Is there a sudden rush on sewing machine repairs? ;)

lol, no but there is a rush on pc repairs, but funny you should mention them, I have a few for sale if you know of anyone who wants some :)

The Eastman looks to have seen better days,button sew looks ok,overlocker with metering device sell as plane machine, cover stitch machine if working sells very easy if single phase.
Takes me back a year or two.....

[claymore]

Yep, takes me back as well, there are two knives there and everything is single phase :)

looks awesome!
Can You still fit the engine with a hoist? Or you have to get creative?

The engine will go in from underneath along with the subframe, so no different to the way a front engine would go in.

[claymore]

Well, that's about all the main welding done on the top (just a few cosmetic bits to do later on)

Colin's way past hoist's, post lift for his car, could probably drop both engines in one lift.....lol

Good to see the cubitron stuff still in use mate, looking forward to the next update.

[claymore]

I've decided to follow in another members footsteps and just use cardbord with a bit of filler and paint over it.

Not quite over yet, but a good go tomorrow should have it done, then next week, strip the subframe, give it a coat of paint, refit everything, sort out the steering rack, fit the new wishbones and coilovers and refit the engine (sounds easy when you say it quickly...lol)

Today, I have been mostly playing with Engine dampers, decided to make the brackets up on the T-5R and test it, then when the T10 is all done I'll either swap it over or make another one.
The main reason for this is, because when I accelerate hard on a left hand bend, the supercharger pulley hits the chassis.

It would be nice to see if this damper makes any difference :) As I thinking about fitting one.

Initial report is that there is no more engine noise transmitted, I'll see if it makes any difference next week at Avon, but my guess would be that it must make a difference, the front of the T5k engine moved up more than an inch for the Supercharger to hit the chassis, so if it can just stop that I'll be happy, and all for 35 quid.

I don't know if it's the placebo effect, but I seem to have virtually no torque steer since fitting the engine damper.

Will this be road legal once complete?


I hope so

a question I nearly asked before - will it require a SVA or similar to be road legal?
to my (very limited) knowledge it used to work on a points system when it is a modified rather than kit car based on what is changed engine, gearboxes, axles etc.

stop press** how will it pass the emissions tests with twice the gas quantity registered for that model at the mot :rotfl: - can you get away with only starting one engine ?
answering that one will be down to special circumstances consultation by the tester to vosa

[claymore]

It will only use 1 engine for the mot. As far as Iva test goes, as Im using all volvo parts the only points I've used is cutting the monocoque.

[claymore]

Will it pass MOT with wheels stuck out that far?

If you look closely, you will see that the arches aren't on at the moment.

[jdavis]

Ahhhh my bad.

[stribo]

Great progress Colin, when's it going to be ready for a shakedown?

Great progress Colin, when's it going to be ready for a shakedown?

Next job is to get the engine running, and I'll see how it goes from there, but I expect it to take the rest of the year.

[Tomcat]

Certainly coming along now Colin, look forward to seeing this monster in action at some point.

[martybelfastt5]

looking good colin shows up the one thing i dislike on the 850 the wheel track width difference on the front and rear of one

[Wobbly Dave]

how do you plan to run the coolant & IC for the 2nd engine - are you utilising the rear windows like the volvaxo?

[M-R-P]

Roof scoop :)

[claymore]

Hopefully the rad and intercooler will sit at an angle in front of the engine and behind the front seats, air will then be ducted out through the rear passenger window.


Roof scoop :)

roof scoop will be used to duct air into the turbo to supercharger intercooler which will be mounted onto the inside of the roof, if that makes sense.

It'll look like a Lancia ECV....!

[FIREBOLT]

It will only use 1 engine for the mot. As far as Iva test goes, as Im using all volvo parts the only points I've used is cutting the monocoque.





Points
Chassis, monocoque bodyshell (body and chassis as one unit) or frame - original or new and unmodified (direct from manufacturer) 5
Suspension (front and back) - original 2
Axles (both) - original 2
Transmission - original 2
Steering assembly - original 2
Engine - original 1

As you need 8 points or higher, do you not lose points for your rear suspension by going Macpherson at the rear as well. (it may be Volvo 850 front suspension but it's not originally in the rear) TBH I can't see how the rear axle is the same either? other than you still have two I guess?

I wouldn't be surprised if it has to have a Q plate, I know you've only used the front engine part of the other vehicle but it doesn't specify 50% of each to be classed as a cut n shut.


Get a ‘Q’ registration number as there is definite evidence of two cars being welded together,
You won’t be able to keep your vehicle’s original registration number if 1 of the following applies:
it has fewer than 8 points
it has a second-hand or altered chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame
there’s evidence that 2 vehicles have been welded together to form 1 (ie ‘cut and shut’)

Your vehicle must pass the relevant type approval test to get a ‘Q’ prefix registration number.


Hope this doesn't come across a criticism, if what you've done is acceptable then I have no worries about my V40.

[claymore]

TBH, I have absolutely no worries about it going for an IVA test and getting a Q plate, that has always been on the cards :)

[Tomcat]

It shouldnt get a Q plate as it already has a registration, I thought Q plates where only used when the majority of the parts on the car have come from several different vehicles and there is no original registration to base it on?.. ie. kit cars.. As yours is already registered you should be able to keep your current reg... Shouldn't you?

[stribo]

Is the Volvaxo a Q plate? if it isn't, then I can't see that yours would be, as you haven't altered yours as much.

I think it should be, I can only get 2 points for steering as it loses 5 for the body, 1 for engine, 2 for transmission, 2 for suspension, axles etc.

Although, it'll now be a 50/50 split so potentially, with the right castor and camber tweaks...

It wont necessarily stay like that as the tanks are also quite high, but it's a solution until I've got everything running, then I'll revisit the problem and probably have a custom tank made to fit between the bulkhead and engine.

Is the tank for the front engine still gonna be the saddle tank under the rear bench? ah... probably not lol.

Fuel cells in the rear footwell I suppose then.

The cat has arrived, so I just need the silencer so that I can finish the exhaust for the back engine:

I no that mini tanks are temporary, but looks like that one in the last pic, may need some heat shielding with that exhaust passing not to far below, job is coming on in leaps and bounds and still a week to go to retro.

[claymore]

the exhaust will be wrapped and I will cobble up some sort of heat shields.

[MoleT-5R]

I thought you'd have it covered, are you on schedule for friday mate

[stribo]

McLaren used gold sheet in the F1, maybe you could try that. ;)

You need to go through the T-5K thread to make more sense of this thread :)

Made a start on making a roof scoop (using bits off a Ford Puma stock car body kit), still needs a bit more work before it has a final coat of black paint.

[claymore]

Top idea pedro

[claymore]

No, that's with the front TT but with a map for 630 injectors...lol, I've got a couple of standard ecu's but it won't run on them, I've cocked something up on the immobilizer wiring. I could do with trying a hlm on it.

Can't you load another map?

[claymore]

Can't you load another map?

Yep, I'm going to try that tomorrow, but I can't calibrate for the injectors as I haven't got a wideband on the back engine yet.

All it has to do is drive on and off the trailer this weekend, so no big deal.

[Jamest5r]

I've got that mte stage 1 map on file if.that's any good to you

Looks finished to me :)

I'll see after retro rides this weekend

[craigoodwood]

off topic, was it your good lady spotted in your t5r this morning around 7, i canny remember where he said it was but he drives from hanwood through shrews to prees :)

[claymore]

Yep, she's driving it this week to get used to driving it to the gathering this weekend, how much do you want for the ecu if it works for me?

[craigoodwood]

[Jamest5r]

Quality :) what's it feel like when it's moving?

[claymore]

Quality :) what's it feel like when it's moving?

Appart from being noisy, it feels just like a front engine, I can't wait to give it some beans :) You can have a go tomorrow :)

[t5 pete]
