Que Steve

 

They the bollocks, and the RTOC site is where to go

 

Is your surname really Till??

 

See

 

I had 1 and never again

 

Yeah me too cost me fookin Ł7500k to get it fixed............ never again

although silly fast for what they are

 

7500quid to get it fixed?

fuck me they saw you coming who was that? GT Tuning?

 

thanks steve you made me giggle

 

my mate had a TURBO P.A.C.S one black with black wheels side exit exhaust fecking quick but broke ALOT

 

I have had 2 and got to say they were the biggest money eaters and piles of shite ever , and both of em were good ones at that

 

one of my mates has one - needless to say its put me right off them!

 

I guess im the only one who had a clue and didnt get totally ripped then

 

I have had one for 4 years and love it, they have a bad reputation because people put a bleed valve on them, turn the boost up to 20 psi with no other mods then start moaning when the head gasket goes

 

I must admit mine was probably unreliable because of 30psi of boost......lol but it did have an engine with more Grp A parts than a Grp A car...lol.

When it was running it was awesome.... but like everything running big boost they break

I think it was in Max Power in 1996-8 or somewhere around that area (mint and std looking black 1 on Borbet C 16's)

 

Exactly, people moan about them breaking cause they all set up shite etc.

Mine was running 23psi held, peak power wasnt till 6750 and it revved clean off the 7500 clock all day long, and never missed a beat. Barring it so powerful it ate my driveshafts.

Another mates was running 25psi held, and another 31psi held, no bother barring the 31psi held one died as a oil cooler hose split due to shonky fitting, and dropped the oil. lol.

Just most people who mess with em aint got a clue.

Only GENUINELY get dodgy at 2bar+ cause thats the limit of the liners, and these days you can get uprated ones of them too.

 

there is one for sale down the road to me for 1k

always fancied one to have a play in

soon pull the actuator pipe off

 

Yeah you can pick up some steel liners now for not too dear, I got some for mine a few months back but need to get it set up now with a new actuator and get that boost right up

 

and just as soon blow the thing sky high then tell everyone they unreliable heaps like everyone else does, lol

 

 

what turbo you running?

reason i stuck with 23psi was my hybrid T25 was at the limit of its flow by then, increasing the boost, even to 28psi, gave it about 3more bhp

We spend 7.5hrs on the rollers, it started at 115bhp and came out with nearly 100more on almost the same boost

Charge temps were dead cool tho no matter what, but was running a hooj intercooler and a chargecooler too.

Nice to drive as well, was full boost by 3500 and at 6000 the wild cam kicked in really hard and it got extra extra silly, lol, blink of an eye and you was off the rev counter

Fucking awesome car that was, proper lil weapon.

I wanna build another, i got 3/4 of one here, but id wana build one at least as mad, and tho it wont cost me loads as i can do em with my eyes closed, parts wise is still a few grand for the madness i want, so not till the GTRs done...

 

u never see em on the roads anymore, which is a shame

i drove my mates a good few years ago, proper quick, but u didnt feel safe

sorta proper tin can job

ive seen 2 i think in the past year

 

Yeah they are really good fun, nice little second car to play about with in the summer

I have had it for a while now and gradually done it up. I got most my work done at Europarts (the place that did the twin engine one). Got an alloy intercooler, roller bearing turbo, steel liners, uprated cam, clutch and head gasket.

What spec was yours mate?

Dan

 

Mate broke/scrapped both his. Shame as one was well done, but it was a rot box

 

i use to own one and it was a great little car.. sold it in the end tho and bought a S2

 

Ian@Europarts is a ace bloke, funny fucker too.

Did mine and 1 of my mates bottomends for us

Umm spec, lemme think...

Low comp, hybrid T25, chargecooler, hooj custom intercooler, piper 285cam with non-std timing, custom stupidly bored out carb with no choke, adj timing sensor (my ign was way more advanced than std, even tho GT Tuning tell you to retard it, tossers), water inj (tho disconnected as never needed as inter/charge cooler was soo efficient), lotsa of headwork and ported manifolds, 23psi held, side exit zorst from turbo back, inc a bigger elbow, copper rad, every single hose on the car in silicone, and a hoofin great airfilter half poking out the front grille

Silver, Fibreglass very vented Integrale EVO bonnet, Prima Racing spoiler (not the tarmac one, one slightly bigger, forget the same), cutout front bumper, open front grille, 285mm brakes, slammed on 15" Momo Arrows.

Probly shitloads more, but it was bout 5yrs ago now

Made it minter than mint too, and i bought it from a SCRAPYARD for 200quid as a wreck with a fucked engine, fucked interior, ropey bodyowrk, and rusty as fook

 

 

my gtt great little toy doing a rebuild now not because i have to but for more go and shes done 120000 miles on the original headgasket all standard internals running 22psi all day with the odd 25psi blast.

 

NIGE! what spoilers that? thats the one i had, cant remember name

 

nige i think pino bigbird had a dump on your bonnet mate!

that's some serieous shit on your bonnet!

 

it is the monte carlo i think by prima cant remember it goes with the real nice kit prima do for um the wide arch one that isnt over kill.

 

its actually a very nicly made tear drop bonnet vent looks the nuts.

 

Tidy wee cars i know of a mental one being built, dunno if its on the road yet will need out find out it's power

 

soz mate but it looks out of place

 

Thats it, Montecarlo spoiler

 

BB Tuning in Essex have a couple of nice ones that run over 300 bhp

 

Here is a under bonnet shot





the vent isnt like mega over kill tbh i like the original lines of the car and have tryed to stick with um.

 

Weird, I have a raider and an auralis escort too

 

looks good !

but what the fook 3 dumpvalves????
