Whifbitz R35 GTR

Inlet manifold fitted back on the engine at last, starting to look like its nearly finished! And finally fitted one of my stainless steel GTR Y pipes with the large type silencer, this one is the 3.5″ version which will flow around 900bhp approx. I’ve bolted it to the stock exhaust for the moment, I […]

Received the first large batch of my own alloy coolant tanks so I thought it would be rude not to fit one to my own car! AMS 4 bar map sensor fitted, nice bit of kit this, fits in the stock position with the stock connector, nice and easy to fit, thats what I like […]

Well the engine is all back in, just got to make up the intercooler and air filter pipework. Plus wiring up the Syvecs S8, make up an oil cooler kit and fit all the propshafts and undertrays on, getting there.

Whifbitz R35 turbo kit mounted on the engine of our Whifbitz R35 GTR demo car.

Well, my new Whifbitz R35 GTR turbo kit is more or less ready now, just finishing off the air filter pipes and intercooler pipes at the moment to have them put into production. Here are some pictures of the turbo kit for your viewing pleasure! Whifbitz manifolds & downpipes, sexual or what?

Its nearly there chaps, I’ve been waiting for the first turbo kit and its more or less done now, here is a picture of our kit to wet your appetite. GTX3037 turbos with Tial V band exhaust housings, along with Turbosmart Hypergate 45mm external wastegates, my own manifolds, downpipes and pipework. Turbo wise, we can […]

Latest update. The engine is now fully built, I decided to use a crinkle finish paint on the cam covers and front engine cover, I think it looks nice personally! And fitted the Injector Dynamics 2000cc injectors keeping the stock fuel rail for the moment. Should be getting the first turbo kit this week so […]

Titan Motorsports head studs fitted to block

Some more updates for you, its starting to look like an engine now! I received my Whifbitz big valve cylinder heads yesterday afternoon so I could continue with the engine build. Spec as follows: Fully ported/flowed Ferrea 1mm oversize valves Ferrea valve seals Ferrea valve springs Ferrea bronze valve guides Ferrea titanium top caps Inlet […]

Titan Main Studs fitted and Mahle pistons cleaned and ready to have the rings fitted

A small update for you. I started building the engine last week but didn’t get that far as I found one of the pistons had a small amount of damage on it, so I’m now waiting for a replacement from Mahle to arrive. Anyway, I managed to clean the block along with checking the main […]

I received my Eibach Pro Spring kit today, I’m going to give these a go before thinking about any aftermarket coil over kit, these should be ok for the moment. These springs lower the car by 20mm front and 15mm which should give the car a slightly better look and improve the handling at the same […]

I had a nice box of goodies arrive today, as you can see I’ve gone for the best parts on the market: Carillo h beam conrods, Ferrea 1mm oversize valves, double valve springs, titanium retainers/locators, valve seals along with Titan Motorsports head and main studs. This should insure the engine will take whatever I want […]

Small update, after a bit of deliberation I went with the Tomei Procams 272 In 11.30mm & Ex 11mm lift, they will be with my head machine shop tomorrow so they can get started on the head for me. I know this will be a good choice knowing how good the Tomei products. Really getting […]

Well its all apart and the good news is it looks like both heads look like they have survived. One is perfect and untouched, the other side which has the piston damage will need 4 valves and seats recut, wont know for sure until I get the valves out of them. I’m going to be […]

Well, I’m getting somewhere at last, found a few hours spare to start stripping the engine down, there is a rather large hole in the side of the block with the rod jammed into it. Its also taken the sump and bell housing with it to, what a mess!

I’ve gone and done it, I bought myself a GTR. I’ve been resisting for a while now and made a big mistake of driving Ryans car. Then luck would have it, this car came up which I managed to get at a very good price as it has a blown engine! The engine is a […]
