Default Drove my S1 with T34 today for first time (now with pics)

Been away cos of my job and came back this morning for a small break, well to keep me sane

Dropped my car off at SCC to have a few bits done including a maram shafted T34 with 6 degree cut back blades , 360 degree thrust bearing, .63 cossie exhaust housing and quick release manifold.

My mate picked it up once it was finished and put it back in my lock up and left it till I returned.

Went straight to my garage, got the beast out and took it for a spin

It needs remapping again but feels so smooth and effortless, I can't wait till it stops raining and dries up

A massive thanks to Rob and SCC for doing such a top job of knocking up the downpie to match the cossie exhaust housing to the rs turbo exhaust.

Another quality bit of work they have done on my car , thanks

I will post some pics up later when my digi camera has charged up

What cam you running with it? Karl does a really nice one for the T34. Mine has hardly any lag at all.

Get them pics up!!

Nice one mate.

Looks like I'll be needing to spend some more pennies now then to ensure I keep up

Got my eyes on a .48 exhaust housing. Drop the steel rods and forged pistons in and then I'm feeling like some gas.

Will post the pics up tomorow as I can't be arsed tonight as I had to get up at 3 am to fly home.

Will post the pics tomorrow morning when it has stopped raining

C6mby, I kept the .63 Cossie exhaust housing and had to have a hybrid down pipe made up, which I have been told was a bit of a pain in the arse but well worth it as it is a lovely piece of work.

The turbo I got has 6 degree cut back blades and feels less laggy than my stage 3 that was on there previously

Gus , your car is enough of a beast as it is let alone with a T4

Jon , it has a Piper cam in it, couldn't be bothered with getting a one off spec when I had to put a new cam in a couple of months ago.

There's still plenty of time to put one in if I feel it needs it in the future depending on how far I go with the car.

I will get the pics up tomorrow but am a bit hooped today as work seems to have caught up with me today

What kind of power are you hoping for with the new turbo?

Yes Dan , I'll see you there.
Just been down there for a new Throttle Position Sensor as mine was fooked and kangarooing all over the place

Rab, as for the power I have no idea
The car needed a remap even before I put the turbo on as at a recent rolling road day the car was heavily tailing off after 5300 rpm

Need to put forged low comp pistons, steel rods , set of greys etc on soon before I have it rempapped.

The car is going to be left as it is for a while as I am going on holiday to Florida with my mates for 2 weeks.

I intend to have a good time and am saving for that at the mo.
