Hi guys just like to introduce myself as a new rst owner have wanted one since i was at school (im 29) and now finally have one and it is as good as i thought it would be!!! Any tips on keeping the engine from blowing as i drive hard a lot of the time?[img][/img]

 

well there is your first problem with the car, is it original or has it has £££££ thrown at it?

remember they are old hats now so need a lot of money spending on them if you are to drive them hard a lot.

get some pics up

 

yeh, get some pics up chap

 

it has had some money thrown at it by the previous owner, a blueprint engine done by power engineering, a 31 actuator, vernier pulley, high lift cam, k&n stainless exhaust. It is running 200 bhp at 15psi. Id love to get some pics up but when i upload them it says pics must be less than 5kb? Hoe do i sort this?

 

lol thats just avatar pics....

upload them on www.photobucket.com

 

200bhp @ 15psi....dont mean to sound funny but with the mods u have mentioned it would be more like 185bhp.

still quick tho

 

agreed, 15psi on a standard intercooler doesn't sound healthey either...

stick on a big front mount IC you'll see 200 pretty easily

 

i did get with the car a rolling road printout which confirms 200bhp from power engineering. And yes it is very quick lol.

 

how do i get my images from photo bucket to here??

 

copy and paste the [IMG] tag over.

here oyou go mate..

needed the [img] and http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2.../th_71_1_b.jpg and [/img].. without the ands!! lol

 

if i can get into ur album now i'l host em...

gimme a minute...

 

or he could...

 

not bad mate. looks good. just change the wheels

 

a110va, are you running standard intercooler? and 200 bhp is easily made with decent head work or cam on 15psi, mine makes 232 @ the wheels at 18 psi (around 255 at the lump)

 

what spec you got for 255 at fly??

 

stage three head with matched inlet and exhaust manifolds, enlarged portss (cant remember if its got bigger valves or not) stage three turbo with large compressor housing and larger inlet on inlet housing ( although it isnt a t34 ????? all i no is the standard size hose wouldnt fit)
collins unlimited boost chip, piper 285t2 cam, uprated oil pump, double capacity inter cooler (shite i no ) low com pistons, 3"tourque tube zorst, ported waste gate apature,
cant think of much else,

it made 232 @ the wheels so im assuming thats about 255 at the engine? correct me if im wrong,

would have gone for more boost but the mfi was absolutly maxed

 

i have a radtec front mount

 

only ask as u would be surprised at the number of cars running that sort of bost through a standard intercooler, mine was when i bought it lol

 

note change in post, miss read it fella

 

edited aswell mate, no worries, my appolagies also.

 

a11ova, mind if i ad u on msn mate?

 

not at all fella
fire away

 

first thing i would do is get it set up as rs turbos go out of tune easy and they will also check all your sensors to make sure there working and make sure you run it on super unleaded or it will det at 15 psi on normal unleaded

 

any idea on what intercooler is best how much can i get one for and are they easy to fit?

 

the old 'best intercooler' can of worms lol

to be fair mate all the front mounts are as good as each other. Would try and stay away from a pace quater front mount, waste of time really. You want to be looking at either Radtec or GRS if u ask me. Pro alloy are ok, but a tad expensive and then of course is the daddy pace single pass beast........expect to shell out over 500 for one of those beasts

 

you missed a bargain intercooler on here they was a grs in the for sale section that went for i think £120
