After many a blood swear and even more tears she is finally on!
don't worry about the noise it's curently running off a very short piece of down pipe got to take off to have the exhaust modifed and a screamer pipe made going to have it coming out just under the drivers side arch (nicked the idea off Fudgey on here)
Still plenty to do and the engine bay needs a good clean and tidy and gotta phone MSD for a chip to run my Siemens 83lb's.

monstrous, what boost/power is that going to do?!

 

love it mate

 

Nice.

 

power on that bad boy then?

 

i love the sound of that

 

as above very cool what power you hoping for !?

 

A T66 will make 700hp on the right engine

 

Cool.

Why T66 over GT42(if thats right for that power)

 

Unfortunately the engine is not built for 700hp i'm afraid as my budget won't quite strech to that!
I was going for a genuine 500hp maybe as high as 600hp, but money has kind of dried up at the moment so the 1.06 exhaust housing came off in favor of .68 for the time being.
The head is still standard bar a pair of BD10's and the bottom end is a 200 Block with low comp pistons.
I got the turbo and tubular exhaust manifold a bargain price thats more to do why I got them rather than properly specing it to the engine.
So i'm just gonna run it as it is right now until I can afford the head work, no idea how it'll run probably very laggy but I don't mind.
Rich

 

lag will be the least of your worries, i hope its being mapped on air injectors lol, that will surge its tits off imo

 

What head spec you running Rich?

 

std head , bd10s

 

Ah yes, will get my glasses ....

First thing I would fuck off is the BD10 exhaust cam, shite IMHO, prob gain about 60Lbs/ft across the midrange!

 

rich, its about time you got that thing running

 

GT40 Will make 600+ no need for a GT42


MY GT40 made me 711bhp on PUMP

 

vid wont work for me, but then, the internernet is slow as feck for me at the mo too...

that looks quite beastly mate!!

and fair play on the screamer lol. only reason i put it there was cos the body shop didnt paint the jacking cover.

still, it looks good too lol

 

Oi fudge did you get my text?

 

will, no mate. was it tonight?

im about mostly at the weekend if thats any good lol?

 

Just got a Blitz SBC Boost controller at the mo, this is something that is going to have to be done I think.
Rich

 

Thats a BIG turbo !

May I ask though if your only aiming for 500hp then why use something that is totally wrong for the job ?

500hp is T4 or even better GT3076 territory and I'll assume would give a much nicer curve than that beast is going to !

 

exactly id have gone with a lesser spec turbo ant not even bothered with the 10's in the favour of port work ! but it does look impressive

 

A mate of ours ran a T61 with supposedly all the right bits (full engine build by bluesprint) and it was such a laggy pig, worse thing he ever did to his cossie imo! Supposedly 600bhp and when it finally came on boost it was quick but just such a hard car to drive fast, much lower powered cars would kill it in reality on the road.

 

May I ask why you have suddenly stopped being able to read?

HE GOT IT CHEAP!

as will the next owner of it when he realises this is the wrong Turbo for doing anything other than posting pics of on the internet of it looking cool under the bonnet

 

Yup very cheap, the price I got the lot for is what i'd have just paid for the tubular manifold and wastegate alone.
The manifold is very well made not a dodgy XS Power one here the photo's before I fitted it:


Rich

 

As said, surely it will take ages to come on boost, and when it does will surge like crazy? It is a HUGE turbo

Only one way to find out tho!

 

Top work mate.

 

Whilst its pretty cool to have a blower that big it does seem like pretty miss matched spec list.

Bet it'll be good when it comes on boost tho!

 

I will eventually get the head work done by Neil Roper proper big spec head, BD16 inlet and BD14 exhaust it's just I'm fed up of it being in the garage doing bugger all.
