Kel's Super Turbo Super Build

[Sarumatix]

Just to chime in that there is another factory super turbo.

Golf GT http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_...f-gt-review.htm

Love these cars and enjoyed the episode from mighty mods .

haha funny article too....looks like they forgot our little march!

[Duncan]

an update.....

we (well maybe I) decided it could live with some more turbo lag with the SC to look after things down low.

So it is at Hills Motorsport getting a GTR T28 turbo and new manifold put on.

At the same time it became clear that it has a fair bit of blow by already, so we have order a set of forged bottom end bits from some wierd little japanese car guy in hokaido that used to race them. and a catch can to keep it sort of under control in the meantime.

next container duncan

we can get you a spare car

they are worth abot 5 bux over there

[Duncan]

hahha not here mate....I only know of 2 in the country. and the other one has been off the road for a year

[TiTAN]

hows progress on the new turbo?

[Duncan]

too slow! but I had to push the stagea into the work queue to get another $300 ebay turbo put on it $300 a year on ebay turbos so far.

[TiTAN]

just hope they dont take the engine with it when they go.

[sav man]

how to the gay arse ipra rules handle twin charging? Just the one 36mm restrictor... not that it would have much effect on the 930cc of fury

[Duncan]

yep it says "an intake restrictor". that got a bit tricky for GTR with 2 intakes but the mighty march only has 1 intake.

I figure the only chance for a turbo car in IPRA is either spend way more than 1 can afford, or something light and small enough that the restrictor won't limit power. No chance of 900cc making make 350hp so I am safe.

3+BAR of boost says it will make 350hp dunc.

only 3+bar? he aint no panzy. them tractor pullers run 7bar.

oh yeah, just reminded me, the GTRs or and other car with 2 intakes need to run 2 26mm restrictors.

[Duncan]

lol 7 bar sounds nice. might have a bit of trouble holding the head on.

in unrelated news....I saw pics of the super turbo's older brother today....its a 1985 K10 March Turbo. Love the dash and steering wheel...

80's glory

[TiTAN]

they dont have any trouble holding the heads down, the problem is stopping the block splitting in half and leaving the crank + pistons down the bottom and the head/cyls elsewhere.

[TiTAN]

a prime example.

[zebra]

HAHAHA love the power and torque curve on the steering wheel.

And holy shit Titan!

[ahh 33 s2]

that tractor could salvage that i reckon, hahaha, dope little car btw

Just reading the regs on all of this duncan, I think you'll be stuck with two restrictors...

For vehicles utilising a turbine type compressor, the restrictor must be fitted as per diagram 254.4 (see “Rally/Road” in the CAMS Manual of Motor Sport), save that the maximum internal diameter of the air intake into the compressor is 36.0mm where a single supercharging device is fitted, or 27.0mm where two devices are fitted.

PS: I haven't finished reading ths damn 3 million page long manual, so there may be something I've missed...
