looks and sounds good mate

had the t mapped in on tuesday at 1.2 bar its 400.8bhp and spooling 200rpm quicker to 1 bar .
Also picked up the heads & block from smg along with low silicone mahle pistons cosworth head gaskets and a number of other bits .
Washed and cleaned block and heads last night and made the first cylinder head up .

Had some fun putting it all togeather !:roll:

potential for a power run at srr on the 17th? should be good to watch!

Sounds very nice...be good to see what you get out of it now!!!

You gonna run again on the 18th mate :-D

Oh and i never use launch control as said above ;)

Photo's man, Photo's!! :doubleup:

not much point as will be on there the day be for :-D

Thats the whole reason for the 1000 miles over the next week !
thought you had launch control ?

not yet as not happy with how a couple of bits look , they work but need titavation

good work, what you hoping for 460ish?

450 is the spec for the turbo so if i get that I'll be happy and any more is a bonus

Had it.... made me slower so got rid :ninja:

People who cant drive have to use launch control ;)

I'd say between 440 to 450 with about 480 lbs

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm saw her the other night must say shes put on the pounds and lookig well phat lol nice one chris ;):) cant wait for the passenger ride when run in..... :):):)

Looking very good matey. :10:

Coilovers *cough* Coilovers...:-D

And you got a plan for this grill? Its the same as you have already?

Think coilovers will have to wait as gone abit quiet on the work front
Yep have a plan for the grill it wont be staying like it is for long :ninja:

Also forgot to say that i change plugs to 8'S from 7'S which gave another 10 bhp plus a little tweet on timing

Interesting as i've just put 8's in mine

Love it CJ very impressive stuff.....

Its in bits again !
Turbo spun 180 degrees on outlet removing 32" or 80 cm of tubing , Moved header tank to bulkhead to lower intake temp .
Water crossover pipe off as helicoil ordered as one of the 6mm bolts has pulled its self out .
Fuel reg & purge valve moved and deyellowed some of the pipework to black

It never stops, lol

Only because i get bored easy !

Couple of pics of compressor wheel spun and new fuel rails & lines

Looking good....does twisting it make any difference to performance?

looks quality, thanks for the fuel lines, have ou any more photo's of the fuel rail connections and the feed and return connections? Thanks

I love it C.J... Keep the posts with pic's coming...

Well it removed 33" of 63mm pipe so would hope so but will find out on the 19th
Also moved the header tank to bulkhead

In what way ?

looking good as normal c. will you have to get a map tweek for this ??? it`s got to spool up quicker now aswell surely :):):):) good work i would not have taken an angle grinder to my new turbo lol ............ i`d let you do it ;)

yep tweek on 19th for all of the above & hope the spool comes down a couple of hundred revs

Just checking if the returns to the pressure regulator go on the ends of the fuel rails nearest the bulkhead? thanks

doesnt matter which end as long as both go to either FPR or Filter
