Seb Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Not sure if anyone's seen this, but I know people were talking about this thread earlier. The guy seems very happy with the end results, though he's not had any mapping done yet. Not bad for the money though. It should be this thread http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=300819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Exciting stuff, my tired twins are in desp need of changing (oil seals gone), this single option is sooooooo tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Very interesting - just have reservations about the lack of miles, mapping, boost control and testing done - but as i said before the kits look VFM if you must insist on going single!! When anyone needs one I have a manifold in stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 For that sort of money, it would be rude not to if you were considering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyefi Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 it's cheap, but not exactly the engineering guru i was expecting an accreditation from. some thoughts i had:- thats an awful mix of ar's he has on that turbo and no mention of turbine and compressor sizes. all his praise regarding the performance is totally subjective absolutely no data to back it up. running it at 20psi (boost control with foot!!) on stock fuel with stock ecu is madness, especially with no monitoring. sounds like the wastegate might not be working?? installed the turbo so the oil feed and return were at 9 and 3 o'clock. this isn't a test of the parts until they have done 10/20k miles. all this says at the moment is that "i have fit a cheap turbo kit to my car and it starts and moves" i would bet money that this car will have a major breakdown within a few months, not necesarily because he used ebay parts.

GeordieSteve Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Actually that's settled. There'll be a set of Envy hybrids with under 2000 miles on for sale in October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
