I havn't done jack shit mate lol :lol:

Joe's been busy building it. Im hoping to have it back next month after he has dyno'd it. He is currently in the final stages of building his dyno,so i will have to wait for that to be finished first before i can have my engine back. I have got to get a mate around to fabricate some new engine mounts for me also,cos my old mounts made my engine sit pissed :lol: .

I have also got to decide on a turbo,the engine is now capable of around 550bhp with the right turbo,but with that comes LAG!! not good,so a smaller turbo will be sorced for it,maybe a GT30 like Terrys mk2. :D

You got that car yet mate? :wink:

Shame on you giving the work to someone else :lol::lol:

550 BHP :shock: Your just too greedy Kev :lol::lol:

So a small turbo can still produce good power then?

Sorry if thats a silly question, i ve still got a lot to learn about turbos :oops::oops::lol::lol:

 

No car yet mate, still waiting for money. :sad: Should nt be long thou :D:D

Well with big power comes lag im afraid. You can mix and match turbos and get a happy medium. Alot of people have gone for a T38 which is a mix of T34 and a T4,it seems to have good results but some people say that its laggy also,but not as laggy as a T4. That why i thought i would go for a roller bearing turbo,they spool up quicker,only thing is i cant use the anti lag with it anymore cos it would blow the turbo to bits,not that i used anti lag for racing before,but i did use it for going through the dartford tunnel :lol: and for showing off at car meets lol :lol:

Otherwise i can go for a T4 with maram shaft and go mad with anto lag,but ive never seen good results down the quarter with this set up.

So many choices :lol:

And Al,thats exactly what i would like,a mk2 mex with 160-180bhp on 48's and an lsd 8)
