      Thanks! Worth looking up the ANK11 March. It was Japan only but had factory fitted AWD. There was an abandoned build years ago where someone fitted a GTiR drivetrain to one of those. The subframes are similar so the ANK11 has a different rear floorpan than the standard models. Failing that, maybe a live axel that attaches to the existing rear trailing arm mounts? Either way it would need some rear tub work.

      @cgten 7 днів тому

      Hard to tell at this point in time. The car as it came from factory was ~750kg. With the additional weight of the engine and some other supporting components, it's probably an additional 100kg on top of that. Total guess though, I'll take it to a weighbridge once it's on the road, because it's something I'm curious about too.

    brotha your welder is either not set hot enough or you're moving too fast, keep in mind that when the material gets hot it will melt faster and quicker. If you take the engine out for what ever reason grind and re weld them welds like that can crack over time. you can find your welders recommended settings chart for the thickness of metal your welding, this would be the thickness of the bracket material.

    You keep going on about turbo surge but your wrong. Your going on about turbo flutter when boost pressure goes back into the turbo when you lift off. Turbo surge is when the turbo produces too much boost that whag the engine can accept

    • @cgten
      @cgten 3 місяці тому

      I don’t think there is a benefit. The only reasons people do it is to tidy up the engine bay or because they believe it improves response. I think that by removing the system entirely, it eliminates a vacuum leak somewhere and that’s why it seems to have a benefit, the same benefit they would have had if they had located and fixed the vacuum leak. I’m removing mine because I simply have no room for it, I actually think it’s a clever, albeit messy system.

    By now we all know that you are a guy with a plan. I'm interested what were the critical hard requirements for this project before beginning? I'm thinking about would the engine even fit? Can you actually make engine mounts which are sturdy enough to hold the engine in place? Where / how do you make fitting driveshafts? Etc. I'm currently working on a supercharger kit for the 1.4 (not gizfab). If the high torque delta bends the conrods that's fine, there are forged conrods available, but what if the driveshafts give in? Just makes me anxious. :) Love your videos, keep them coming! I feel sorry for you about the sound, I can only imagine how frustrating it had been. 😪 Also 999 subscribers, let's go!! Greetings from Hungary!

    • @cgten
      @cgten 4 місяці тому

      I suspected that the engine would fit with little effort as it's common to swap SR20s in these which are roughly the same size. Seeing someone else manage to pull it off before me though meant I could be 100% certain. It's still a tight fit mind. The engine mounts are sturdy, but I want to go over them and redo some of the welds I'm not happy with. Driveshafts will always be a concern if they're welded, but the way I'm having mine done seems to be a proven method so I'm confident. Sound issues are a constant problem for me, but must power through it. Thanks for watching!
