captainchaos Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Arrived today after a little mix up in London still waiting for the manifold which for some reason went to london and then went to france??? i dont know. But the people at fedex have been really good actually should have the manifold tomorrow. Anyway i was just devising new ways to crack chocolate oranges as you can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 It's the same turbo as Steve Whitakker runs, so it's mahoosive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 not gonna run it flat out just so its hmmmm nice, debating on going manual too but still tempted by the boostlogic auto box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 That turbo is probably too big for the BL box to handle reliably. My T71GTQ was already pushing the limits of the BL box. I assume that you are building a car for the 1/4 mile ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleland Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Sorry been out! I fitted turbo before jap finale at pod, and ran it at 0.8 bar as it ran weak on boost. It ran purfick there n back. Just fitted injectors, i need some cams now. I dont know what power it will make, just got to map n dyno it. Then after that do it right.

If auto, what rpm does it reach FULL boost in 2nd gear? (3rd/4th gear manual)? Don't BS please mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 why do these turbos have mikalor clamps? what ever happeded to bolt on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Looked at these kits on Ebay, seem very well priced, let me know how you get on, how much fabrication is needed. Spoke to my friend at Abbey (who mapped the DJ Craig car) and he said it seemed like a real beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
