tooquicktostop Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Its all stock mate, im in two minds what to do with regards to engines at the min, many options. I have a spare good lump i could build up but this stock one has been so good im tempted to leave the other one alone aswell. If i do build up another lump it will be with a BC 3.4L kit for sure, see how bored i get;) I was talking to mod last night about your car, it has 100% made me wish I have stayed with a stock block and avoided all the time and expense of a built engine, pointless at mid sized turbo BHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 And the fact that it's good tune, from a good mapper, with a good ECU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 3. Change turbo to ic pipework (i dont want this going through the wing anymore) 5. Remove Greddy intake and fit thermal gasket. Good move 7. Fit new oil cooler (present one has split) Same make or something else? Do you reckon it split because of the make or a manufacturing fault?

JamieP Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Same make or something else? Do you reckon it split because of the make or a manufacturing fault? Same Mocal cooler, small split across the top, hard to say why it split, could be the cooler pipes pulling down on it to hard, ill have Lee check it out.

michel lane Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Were there any cons when you installed the new exhaust ? .did the egt go up ? did you loose power?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Were there any cons when you installed the new exhaust ? .did the egt go up ? did you loose power?. Hard to say if it lost any power, would you notice 20-30bhp? egt's stayed the same and its a heck of a lot nicer to drive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Ryan aint touched it., ill be supprised if its related but its a pig to cold start at the min, you have to turn it over for ages, im sure Ryan will sort that when he does the remap.

JamieP Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Nice, them billet wheels look amazing over the cast ones, i think this is the first billet 6765H dbb in the country:cool: Edited October 6, 2009 by JamieP (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Some machining has gone into that wheel. Doesn't even bear thinking about the turnaround time should some damage happen to it I'm looking forward to seeing the results compared to a normal wheel version.

Has Ryan set it up so it will only fire up once the oil pressure gets up to a sensible amount? p.s. Nice turbo - the H and HP covers look a lot more sensible don't they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think it is yes, we have had trouble with cold starts a few times now, its not been the best since the last time it was mapped, im sure Ryan will sort it out. Im hoping the H cover and new pipework will make for a better setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping the H cover and new pipework will make for a better setup. I much prefer the 3" outlet style as it makes for simpler intercooler piping and it's obviously 3" straight away. Plus you won't have that 90degree elbow on the turbo any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Love that billet wheel, looks a lot lighter than the cast version and the slim hub should help flow. Wonder if Precision will sell billet wheels seperately? (wish I had six axis cadcam here:() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 when it comes to covers like H and HP covers, what exactly are the differences? is it the design of the turbo housing itself like for example the angle of the outlet into the intercooler pipes??
