This is all

 

Yeh they can be addictive fella. I just love the rush you get when the turbo starts to spool up they the car is away.

 

yepp very true! such an amazing buzz

 

My S2 was only 167 @ wheels but it was an absolute blast to drive.


Cheers,
Grant

 

What took you so long

 

Must finish putting the 4i back together, feel the need for some turbo rush lol

Steve

 

i thought it was over hyped and was happy driving my little 1.3 around .. how very wrong was i

 

welcome to the boost junkies mate lol, nothing will ever be like it and you will always lust after it lol

 

Ive been in a 400 bhp saff and wenny n blackys royal nail van. They were both fast as fook.

 

same to me driving mine absolute BUZZ torque like mad 250bhp zetecd the turbo rush is just soooooooo good lol

 

i love my cossie mate first turbo'd car ive had i know what you mean tho nothing like it

 

i cant wait to get mine rolling again, planning a T4 tho. ment to be very addictive!
Is it just me or is modern car turbos shit. feel smooth as if theres no turbo. penty of power just no big boost bang like the old fords

 

you got the boost gauge piped up?i bought an integra to replace the rst and before i even had it motd i had bought another cossie!

 

Welcome to the Turbo club, you will be lusting for more Power in about 2 weeks when 200 starts to feel painfully slow. 300 will be OK for a couple of months then its 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 bhp & you will still want more its called an addiction to Turbo Power . Best of luck you are now on a very slippery slope to ruin .

 

i just love the sudden rush of the boost just before it peaks.

 

yeah agreed its mega addictive.im 32 and my little fez xr2i t3 is my first turbo car.the noise when it starts to boost plus the chatter is spine tinglingly good.i looooovvvveeee chattterrrr lol.enjoy it mate

 

Cant beat it!!

Whats your full spec now then? Rebuilt standard lump and turbo?

 

Well im handling 200bhp okay i suppose.. took it to 120mph on the motorway on the way home and my foot wasnt all the way down i was too scared to take it faster

i just love the way the turbo kicks in at 3,000 rpm its like a force that just carrys you along lol [im guessing its called g-force ]

im running

1.6l rs turbo
0.5mm overbored
reground and lightened crank
ecu has been chipped
ap 6 paddle racing clutch
forge actuator
garrett t3 turbo
mongoose exhaust system
samco boost hoses all round
i think its a standard cylinder head but im looking to put a kent cams port polish etc soon..

thats all i can really think of at the moment

heres a few piccys

 

wired up the boost gauge the other day its proper cheeky

 

Yea I can't wait to rebuild my S1 engine over the winter and get it out next summer!

good work, cars came a long way!

how did you run it in before giving it some right foot?

 

well i havent given it the full beans yet - im changing gears at between 2,500 and 3,500rpm .. so im not pushing it hard.. i was told to do it for 1000 miles before any hard driving

 

Good work mate but is 120 not hard driving

 

um i dont think so it was a one off motorway was clear i was on the way home from work and i got a little bit excited .. ive almost run the engine in too thats why i gave it a go

 

I notice you're still on the mechanical fuel injection setup - when you say you were doing 120mph and your foot wasn't all the way down...

Just so you know - the wide open throttle enrichment (i.e the extra fuel when you are on boost) only kicks in when you have your foot right down.

Just a warning to avoid any 4th/5th gear sustained hard use unless you have your toe all the way in! Especially top speed runs

Once your engine is run in - make sure it is properly setup too

Nothing worse than having your new found enjoyment cut short because of an avoidable problem!

P.S - Rod is right, power becomes more addictive than crack

 

thanks for the advice .. .. i mean i wont be doing it again for a while lol .. yeh gonna get it setup pretty soon almost reached that 1000 miles mark!

 

your wheels are cool fella, like em a lot

 

i miss the turbo rush nothing like it!!!

 

thanks fella i like them tooo

get that turbo rush back then!! whats stopping you?!
