thats never the exhaust lol whats that all about then

something like a big bike has

 

I had to make up a flap to which is linked to the boost to surpress the noise as it was dam loud. the shutter on the front of the turbo is ment to stop it suckling in air when throttle is closed which in turn is ment to make the turbo overspin ready for when the throttle is planted. as you can see still got a lot to do inside the car but it is getting there slowly a bit like my skills of puttin on the pics lol.

 

So with the flap shut, it creats a vacuum so the turbo spins its ass of ready for when throttle opened again? How does the impellor shaft cope with this?

 

should be fine mate as its the air going in that stalls and thats whats bad for the shaft

 

the problem we had with intake flaps on the turbo was oil being pulled out of the compressor seals this was in the early 90's

 

im just thinking towards over speeding the turbo, or doesnt it increase speed to that extent? What's the advantage over a conventional 'dump valve' then?

 

That's awesome, even more so you have done it yourself.

 

the shaft should be fine and the shaft in my turbo(t66) is a dam big(thick) shafts, i thick that the shutter would normally work off hyd" or a elcy motor but i machined a little juction box up to link my pedal to the twin cabels for the throttle bodys and another cabel for the shutter , wether it works or not on my motor is yet to be provern but i also have als which should help matters ,the only thing is my exhaust dont like it as it fires in insides out of it

 

what power & torque are you expecting Lacey?

 

as for drawing oil out of the turbo seals i used a big dry sump pump ( scavange stages) to help this and once before when it was dynod it never had a prob" but ye that was takern in to acount, old sump system had it own turbo scavange stage, only a small one mind ,as for over speed that is not always the best thing to do to a turbo but it different to a dump valve as the dump valve keep the turbo spining this should over speed it making it full on for more responce

 

Completely speechless mate, well done!

 

it should see about 650 bhp with about 500 lbs at 2bar on road fuel and 700 bhp + on race fuel and as the boost can go up abit more it might supprise me and make a bit more its on liners so it should be safe ( famous last word ,lol )

 

lordy thats SOME bit of kit

nice to see something with such a different outlook on cossie tuning

 

on 1 of our t66 2litre engines it made 666 bhp and about 475iss lbftq
on race feul that is !

 

i have tried to make it different each time(year) it came out as people (me) dont like to see the same old same time in time out .
but be honest with ya they look the tits std and modded

 

half the reason I am bored of mine is because i think after 22 years of them being around its difficult to see anything "new" then I see something like your car and then get some inspiration again lol

 

Loving it!

 

Love it Dan, Loads of though... When you looking at getting it out and about?





Keep it Andy, If you broke it, I wouldn't be as good as what it is now...

 

its has been dynod but due to silly things it didnt get finished but before it was takern off it did make 590 bhp,480lbs at 25 psi and there is room for more ignition and more boost so the mapper said, and the target is 700 and thats what it was built for, but time will tell as it have got to stay together yet (fingers crossed ).

 

I will be a dad in november so i really need it done by then as i dont think spannering and changing nappys will mix to well.
i will put a pic or two more on here of the car when i move into my new unit as thats when i will clean it, hopefully it wont take 3days to put them on this time lol

 

Its DPV! Mint! I started a thread on this ages ago and everyone looked at me like I was mental

Was done on Pug 205 and R5 GrpB cars, as well as Renault F1 turbo cars.

Lookies...
https://passionford.com/forum/showth...&highlight=DPV

Also...

 

i could never remember the propper name, i do know that they are pricey and i do know were there are some more

 

Yup, Dispositif Pre-rotation Variable!

I love all that shit mate, just totally shocked someone has build a 3dr Cossie with DPV! Awesome!

Wha kind of pricey is pricey? As now I got some money im interested in doing something special with the RB26...

 

Thats phenominal! Well done for going different!

Guessing you gone coil on plug? rocker cover looks so cool!

Love it!

 

Think this will be the best 3dr about?!



Coil pack is at the back of the engine bay..

 

Looks awesome Dan.... so you still gonna let me drive it ten years after i first did?

 

Awesome car.

 

I would go coil on plug but i dont think the t6 ecu will run them ,as for the dpv i will find out how much it wont cost a body part lol ,but i will let you within a day or so ,the inlet on your turbo needs to have a outside dia" of at least 4 inches or there abouts ,be honest i want to get it done more so so that i can use the sequential 6speed box which is straight cut so it should sound the tits to and with full throttle change it should be fun

 

That will actually be my drema spec Cossie by the sound of it. Fair play to you, I'd love a sequential box.

Whats the spec on the rest of the car? Brakes/suspension etc...

 

Dan,

How much does something like this cost?? i mean that's just stunning what you've got there buddy.. so different...

 

Pete,
Nearly eveything on the car is be-spoke and custom built be Lacey, so it would be very difficult to put a value on it, as you wouldn't see many other cars of this type have this kind of time and money lavished on them - it truelly is a one off .

 

Amazing car... I remember years ago at an EA rolling road day and Dan was there. Some dentmaster guy was removing a tiny ding in the car... it was soooo small I could not even SEE it before the work let alone after!

Car is truely mint and a wicked and amazing spec!!! AWESOME CAR!

The rear lights do need changing though

Once agin thank you for the comments, i know of a rougth price of what it has cost but that from over ten year inc" buying it and 4 engines ,4 ecu,s ,5 turbos and so on , but if i knew how i wanted the build to be this time i could have cut the cost abit, but thats the fun of it ( sort of ) but a lot of part i could not afford or evern get in the spec i wanted so i make a lot of it right down to cnc brackets to hold the fire exst" nozzles and map sensor , i make my own motorsport pedal boxes which i have just modded once again for the hyd" thrust b" and the engine mount is turned into a vacum chambre for the vacum pipes and als bypass.
The front brakes are ap 355 with 6pots, pedal box, bias adjuster, ap 4pot on the rear with 285 discs and wilwood spot calipers which are modded with a cnc"d brackets and braided lines all round. my buget for this car is not endless for this build hence the time scale its taking and alot of it is due to bargins that cant be turned away (right place at the right time)

 

Looking good Dan, be good to see it out again

 

dan she looks the bollocks credit to you mate jason

As a fellow 3dr owner i am truly amazed at this car, you deffenitly deserve all the credit you are getting Dan & i can't wait to see it at some shows next year

 

Thanks

 

evening you!
