Tenttu Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Not too sure mate - the build itself is "proabably" capable of 730ish ... however my fuelling system will get in the way before 700hp i'd say. we've done some tweaks to my fuelling plus got a FPR and extra bits to push it - i'd be happy with 650+ - the nearer to 700 the better but im not too greedy ... yet!!! You should try bench it on standard fuel pressure first. So that we can all see how much the orig. fueling system is capable of flowing Im quit disapointed that i only managed get to 1,16bar and then my mapper call it for the day :/ I think it is capable of 650hp atleast on the standard fueling and standard fuel pressure. Enyways, good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Brilliant build! I've been reading up a lot on different turbo options for power levels and this seems such a brilliant choice! Excellent reading for when I can eventually afford to go this route myself Best of luck with the mapping thanx a lot mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enyways, good luck!! Yeah i want to really push it to see what we can get out of it, although its down to how safe Ryan wants to map it to against how mad i want it to be on the day!! i dont want it letting go! this will be a good test as i dont think anyone really know exactly how much power u can run before having to change the whole fuelling system - 650-700 is the going rate i believe before it runs out of puff - the turbo itself and supporting mods will go way over 700 with a standalone fuel system......

Jamesy Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Where are the Engine bay shots come on, dont keep us waiting? +1 :d lol, i know i know!! i think the polished cam covers are going on now, then the modified spark plug cover and strut brace - then it will be pretty much cosmetically in place under there... soon as i get pics i will put them up Getting a TRD oil filler cap as thats the last thing left that wasnt shiney - cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The max is usually around 650hp but we may squeeze a bit more with the FPR, we will try stock fuel pressure to start with and only turn it up if we need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 I reckon about 4wks mate. They said up to 3months and i bought them end July. Looking forward to seeing them Ive got those gunmetal dare drifts to go on for now but wont quite be the same!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 :D went down to see the car today - well fu(k my old boots i cannot believe what Lee has done with it - engine is now complete apart from strut brace and spark plug cover. It is still so neat and tidy, totally decluttered and "proper shiney"!! Even STARTED it up today and the noise from the exhaust was absolutely perfect for what i wanted - absolutely chuffed with it.
