TooColdToDrive Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Well, after a year and a half of work, my car is finally done. Going to post some quick before and after pictures (excuse the shitty engine bay pics, and the recent ones in my back alley - I couldn't wait until the meet for someone with a decent camera to take pictures). Tuned to just shy of 400 wheel HP, and about 420 ftlbtq at 10 psi (trying to preserve the auto tranny for 5-6 more years, while I save up for a built Boostlogic tranny).

TooColdToDrive Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys I'm an idiot when it comes to computers, and I've lost the link for the photo album itself on image shack... so the pictures are way too big (uploading new resized ones, but it will be about 2 hours) Very nice install. Comprehensive to say the least. How does it feel to drive? Unbelievable. It handles like a dream, and the turbo spools like crazy - and it just wants to keep going (even at 260+km/h) The tuner, Reg, had a pretty cool idea to preserve the automatic tranny - he set a rev limiter 50rpm right before the natural red line - so what it does is spools like normal, hits the rev limiter, makes sounds like a motor bike, spits out some gas, reduces the load on the tranny, and shifts up and continues to spool. I gave it some gas going about 120 (I had a silencer in, so the engine/turbo were easy to hear), and it sounded like a jet engine underneath the hood - it just rocketed off too.

TooColdToDrive Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Congratulations What boost are you running? .75 bar (~10psi). The turbo is capable of around ~28-30 psi. A few of the local Supras have put down 570 wheel HP on pump gas with this turbo (all I need to do this is a better tranny, and bigger injectors ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm running this turbo and have been for 5 or 6 yrs now. My dyno print out at the time read 571rhhp and i'm still on stock throttle body and inlet manifold so you've got plenty of scope for more power later on mate.

a98pmalcolm Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 how much did it cost in the end if u dont mind me asking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 About ~25,000 British pounds for all the parts + labour (not including the price of the car). So, yeah - it wasn't cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the local Supras have put down 570 wheel HP on pump gas with this turbo (all I need to do this is a better tranny, and bigger injectors ) I guessed you were running low boost due to the size of injectors. Bigger injectors, a stronger box and a remap will certainly release it's full potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
