24/07/14 Toyotec's 315PS WOLF R. What's next? See Pg10?

The WOLF R...So what has happened with it, during the time that this thread has been sleeping?

Well stay tuned as I have been busy behind the scenes with this and fear not the car is up and very much alive as I have been driving it this summer still on stacked gaskets!

However, that is the 'entry level' engine. This ABF engine, demonstrated what could be done on a budget with some careful thought and planning. I am happy to say this original concept has been adopted and pushed further by some of our trackday enthusiasts, with very rewarding results for them.

In the quest for something a bit more extreme, The WOLF R is due for a significant update that removes the twin MLS gaskets to run lower CR pistons, rods, cams and a 620bhp PTE turbo , all this whist retaining the 'sleeper' look. All components are in hand, except the cams, which have been ordered.
As a result I plan to update this thread in due course to reflect my next steps.

Stay tuned stay optimised

The WOLF R Today

 

Looking forward to updates on this. What clutch is it going to run? Staying with hydro lifters or going solid lifter route?

 

It runs a Sachs Sport clutch currently. I may have to update to something a bit more robust when 400lbft + is fed through to the poor 02J job

No I will not be running Solid Lifters in the the 500ps spec motor. There are a couple of tricks I will be doing on the valvetrain though.

 

That really was a great post.
I know I'm late to the party but just had to say "Man have you got skills or what"!!

 

I LOVE a MK2 with a turbo'd engine. This looks stunning mate

 

Sounds lovely too

 

Tis a great thread this ...a lot of good tech info

 

Any work done on this since Eddie!

 

Oh yeah lots!
Will continue trying to get it up to speed once I get a chance!

 

Hi toyotec I am very impressed with the level of detail that you have posted and it is very useful as I am building a 9a turbo atm and was wondering did you modify the inlet yourself and could you recommend someone to do one for me please?

 

As your watching Mr T any news ?

 

The car is waiting in a queue behind JENVEE and my S3 to start preparation of the engine build, gear selector and gearbox.

Engine being built to support this...

 

That is going to be mental!

 

Once I get the other tasks done on the fleet you betcha!

 

How are things going with the Wolf R?
Read it all from start to finish (again)

Awsome build

 

The car sits in one piece, unused and SORN. as I look after the members on here and other priorities.
Most of the bits have been gathered for a significant update, just time required to complete.
