Probably a recess for a side exit exhaust.

Dan · 12-06-2008, 10:41 AM

I thought it may have been for a jack or something but wasn't sure!

What engine are you using mark & who is building it?

DazC · 12-06-2008, 11:27 PM

markk · 27-06-2008, 07:47 PM

sort of decided on the engine spec so had a turbo built for the purpose.
got a few pics of things moving, just very busy at work at the moment

Mad Matt · 27-06-2008, 07:56 PM

Exhaust housing looks quite big to me.

We want some specs !

J1mbo · 27-06-2008, 07:56 PM

what size restrictor is that you got there ?
what sorta figures you got in mind

AquariousRS · 27-06-2008, 08:26 PM

Wow, This really is incedible.

Please when you start competing can I be part of your pit crew?

Would love to learn more to add onto my college course

looks a fairly big turbo for 300bhp ? might just be the pics !

would you be better off with a ihi wrc turbo for them figures
although theyre pricey

you just hit the nail on the head, and that fact that the WRC IHI isnt made anymore makes it desirable hence the hiked price, i dont pay for extorsion.
hence this route, ive done all the variants on T3/34/etc so why not try something differant - going over the same ground that someone else already has is easy, i dont like easy i prefer the challenge

well hope it works for ya

and you building the engine your self ?

will be a gravel car primarily as thats where i like to rally, and at the moment i have a mate who sits in with me, but i may need someone a bit more proffesional if this car is as good as i hope it to be.
cheers

CharlieMac · 08-07-2008, 10:03 PM
