Dont know much about it, its 4wd and obviously big power, just thought the engine looked cool really so figured others might like looking at it too.

size of that turbo

thats really cool, reminds me so much of the america civics in the design(apart from the 4wd of course)

Im guessing gt42+ i must rev really high to have a decent enough power band(even for drag) i would think 9-10krpm

That's some fabrication going on there.

Im really not so sure, these LET vauxhall engines just spool these big turbos up so well.

My 35R drives better than a T34 does on a YB!

Ive got a 42R twinscroll I might try on mine for a laugh at some point, and I bet its on boost nicely by 4500rpm which would give me a 4500rpm power band, ie more than an average T34 YB cossie has.

So would this be 4wd to beat the Impreza? or a high power FWD?

Its 4wd, you can see the rear diff in one of the vids

Never had the sound on, you found anymore info yet?

thats quite naughty indeed.

Chip, for some reason i thought the Vauxhall engines responded well to a decent intercooler - but one doesnt appear to evident on that car.

in your opinion, why would they choose to not run with one - turbo size maybe being a decideing factor and the fact it may be running at no great strain so therefor hardly developing any excesivly high heat levels?

Just trying to understad it thats all.

if you run a decent methanol setup or water injection you don't intercooling

Kelv, Probably runs some sort of methanol injection to keep inlet temps down, might be wrong though.

Very cool car and love the set up.

cheers guys, i did try to look for 'other' forms of cooling - like water injection pipes etc.

just wasnt sure, and its nice to learn a few things somedays

The side exit is cool, i was thinking of doing something the same to my corsa
