Paul Whiffin Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Where Inconel is alot stronger the pipe thickness doesn't need to be so thick. So it ends up weighing alot less. All the F1 exhaust pieces are pretty much made up of inconel. Ryan I see said the blind man. Think I'd still go with titanium myself.

Chris Wilson Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Oh Ryan, you know I am a sarcie old bastatrd and I said it in jest, I am really sorry to hear that But it's true, ugly women are a lot less demanding, I have three pals with wives so ugly they strip the silvering off mirrors, but they are well fed and watered and they are 100% relaxed and cared for. Their wives are just happy ducking stools have died out. Those with magazine feature wives and girlfriends have a few hours fun a month and the rest spent in purgatory and angst wondering what the bitch is up to now It's always stressful having a long term relationship break up, just look after that lovely car and put it all behind you. And, hey, I am really serious when I say this, re assess on road mapping, I am sure there will be some very bad press from recent alleged incidents.

TLicense Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Its not that bad mate, pretty sure i'm getting mine made in Ti now. Plus inconel is very prone to cracking. That said, Ti will also work harden over time, but is a lot more forgiving than inconel. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it and just cut down on the biscuits!

Nodalmighty Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) And, hey, I am really serious when I say this, re assess on road mapping, I am sure there will be some very bad press from recent alleged incidents. Yeah! I just read about that, although I'd not heard that they were mapping at the time of the impact. Trouble is, only a fool would trust a dyno map without road tweaking it in the upper few gears. Which means insane speeds, I've been at over 180 leptons mapping a Skyline on the road, never again. Glad I gave it up now, it's a shit life. Lyndon.

I still want a passenger ride even if my MX5 was reeling you in at Silverstone Does look great and i'm sure will be very fast when the niggles are all sorted p.s. Chris sorry i've not been in touch about the Mazda engine, been very busy the last few weeks. Will have to get the section of my engine manual to you.

Steve B No worries Steve, I have had a very hectic few weeks too, but now I have finished my track days, and I have only one more race to support a customer at, I can nail the engine strip and get you the photos. Are you going to have the block bored come what may? I need a chat about pistons in the near future. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wrong that you were reeling me in but with only 4 cylinders working out of 6 im not surprised. Knock control on the Solaris saved my arse that day!! Was abit too sensitive when it shuts down the cylinders that it thought it was knocking so much that it had to pull more than 5 degrees to keep it happy. When it goes past 5 degrees. Cylinder shutdown (this can be changed btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Picked up Jamies old T67dbb on monday now he has his Billet unit and got cracking at fitting it on wednesday. Unfortunatly during fitting i managed to damage the compressor wheel when trying to split the turbo to check the Exhaust wheel was fine. But luckily I knew smarty had a spare core with the exhaust wheel gone so i could use his inducer to fix mine. Got back from Smartys today and finally managed to split Jamies old turbo after letting it soak for 2 days and guess what..... It also has started to fall to pieces. Looking through the back it looked great but upon opening i found this AGAIN!! What the hell is up with these exhaust housings. You can see that the inside of the casting is just falling to pieces and damaging the turbo! Going to see if owens can salvage something between both the turbos and make one good one. While they are doing that im just going to bite the bullet and get a borg warner turbo now. Thats 4 precision turbo i have had do this to me and seen over 8 do this now!

Paul Whiffin Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Not good mate. I'm going to try out a Borg Warner turbo on one of my turbo kits as well, I can get them from the US slightly cheaper than what we were talking about last night by the way.

JamieP Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Blimey, cant belive that, my car felt great with that inplace, good job you never paid for it:D might explain why we lost a bit of spool time on the last dyno session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ah, bugger that's another one then, I will post up the pictures of my exhaust housing on here so people can see what's happening if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
