do you run your turbo water cooled or not???

i know alot of people in rst's dissconnect the water feed on standard cars as some belive its better but never noticed on als equipped cars??

(i have the proper 247 shaft in the turbo)

opinions please

cheers
marc

 

I ran no water cooling

 

any 1 else???

i brought gus s maram shafted turbo and i was thinkin this aswell but im running a pro alloy turbo cooler so this should compensate for the extra heat!

i hope

 

no i dont run any water feed through the turbo core

 

good buy that,,

he only drove the car from FMS to crays hill essex show & home again on it,,,

about 10 miles

 

M K

yeah cant wait to get it on the lump and get it droped of to tommy!

got to have the exhaust housing changed as he was usin a 38 and im going to run a 48!

 

ive got a .63 on mine

what differance will it make

 

M K

well the bigger the exhaust housing the bigger the lag!

on a 1600 it will be massive!

id down size it if i was you!

 

mmmmm

will have to speak to tommy about that then as my housing is quick release too???? so wanna keep it realy or ive seen em sell fo Ł150 on there own

spose thats what the als is for

 

M K

yeah! but id rather it have quick spool up and use the als for fun as apposed use the als all the time!

it also depends how its mapped! my mate has a 63 on his cossy managed 1600 rs turbo and it was fookin laggy but the bloke who mapped it put a bit of ignition advance low down in the rev range and this proper transformed the way it drives now!

so you might be ok!

 

out of interest,does a grp n escos turbo have a maram shaft?

 

big_wig_074

dont know off hand mate

check the end of the shaft to see if it has 247 stamped on it

also put a magnet on the shaft if it isnt magnetic it prob is

 

doesnt help me! theres one for sale for 300 sheets in adtrader here!

 

No water cooling on mine Marc as it's an S1

 

All GrpN means is showroom class, ie had to run the same size turbo as standard, so wouldnt know if it had a maram shaft without testing it

 

well im not buying it to find out,bloody useless i tell thee!
