Do it at the track I reckon...

We need a helmet too!

Darrin:  Is your car up and running now?  There will be a new year run for sure...

Yeh it is running

Have fitted front mount, Garret gt30bb turbo standard boost about 8psi

full 3 to 3 1/2 inch exhaust and a few other bits

waiting to install the Wolf ecu once i get fuel reg and adjustable exhaust cam wheel.

hopefully earlier next year

Would like to have a run before i do any more, so i have a starting point.

12.601 @ 120.2mph on bp ultimate in full st trim with full tank on st tyres. Am i happy or what. I was also running 3-4psi less then what it was tuned at. Wait till i get full proper slicks. Oh touch it.

H.

Thats some excelent MPH there, full street trim too, well done

    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
