Martin's Soarer turbos

[whatsisname]

This is for those of us that attended the LS1/Skyline dyno day, & saw/heard Martin's Soarer make 281rwkw on stock turbos.

I can confirm that they are/were indeed stock unmodified CT12A's (well the one I played with was).

More amazing is that the turbo I had a look @ was in pretty damn good condition, considering it would've had a hard life!

I still can't believe how well they held up to 3.0bar of boost on the dyno day (ok so I made that bit up )

I heard a certain little birdie say that Martin has one of the new 7Ltr Monaro's on order at a certain Adelaide HSV dealership.... nice

[GTR King]

I heard Munro has ordered some training wheels for his R33 race car for toy`s r us. NICE

[Martin Donnon]

I have ordered a HRT 427. Order no. 5 in SA. Nice.

Munro needs something to help get that R33 down the strip a bit quicker. Trainer wheels might just do it! Nice.

[Clint32]

so does this mean we are not going to see the results of the big single on the soarer?

[Martin Donnon]

Oh yes! Im doing the final fitup of that today. Then its off for the front pipe, and thats that!

[Munro]

I think you need to stop smoking the pipe Martin!:alcoholic

Martin,

Liked the story in HPI this month. Was spun out by the difference the new pipework made on the twin.

Quick question: Why is HPI so damn expensive and so thin?

Didn't renew my Hot4's subscription, no matter how many shirts and vids they tried to feed me but christ....9 bux?

i know...i'm cheap...

Just like the R32 GTR in its time ... is it not ?

[Martin Donnon]

No its not like a 32 GTR in its time. Nothing like it. Lets get back to my turbo (s). Its single now, and MUCH better.

Cheers

[Cubes]

lol Martin..

[Martin Donnon]

The way its going there will be no genuine HRT 427, which means I wont be having one. That saves me from the biggest personal loan known to mankind!

Good news on the Soarer is that it makes 322rwkw at 1.3 bar with its new turbo. Cant wait for the next dyno day! Its sort of a Skyline now too, as it has R34 GTR rims.

What's the problem, is there a delay in production?

[Martin Donnon]

No, a typical HSV that shies away from building anything decent

[GFXman]

322rwkw! :eek: saweeeet, that some serious power

Post some pics of the beast! I haven't seen it yet

[SLY33]

Martin, how does it launch now? Can you still compete in the traffic light 0-100??

I ran a black 33 the other night (i think it had silver/grey Zeni Tani sticker on side) and i killed him 0-100 off the line, then i back off-we're in a 60 zone- and then he comes screaming past (had an external gate or screamer pipe, which by the way i didnt think sounded very nice!)

What do you guys think of these cars with massive peak power, but that cant give a decent run off the line?? I dont see that as being very fun!

That said, i have 200rwkw, but need a few extra! Had trouble holding off a pack of 180's last night on anzac, and those buggers were launching awesome too!

[SLY33]

Martin, also, can i get you to tune my car through tilbrooks? Do i just ring up and say i want you to do it?? And can i get a dump pipe of same design as your soarer ones on the TT setup? -i still have the cast factory dump.

gimme a price and ill be there, cheers.
