Matt carter

The turbo kick in quick at 3k. Got no pics but looked stad






Still got mk1 r5 turbo at the yard.

bluntys1rsturbo

it started making boost at 3k i take it ? my little t2 doesnt make full boost until 3k starts boosting at 2k

crumpet

back in the 90's no one knew properlly how to do it like we do today though, management was in the dark ages

Matt carter

Is your T2 still on the 1.4

My T3 was no the 1.7

Matt carter

Your right there.

bluntys1rsturbo

really like it, swap for a nova

andybond

Looks cracking after its was.

Mine is going to get a wash.

I was wondering if its worth doing one of those all over wash foam things first

bluntys1rsturbo

hey dont tempt me fella my first car was a 1.3 sr nova on twin 40s fast road cam etc still wish id got that car.

bluntys1rsturbo

defo worth doing mate and also clay barring, polish and waxing, i was going do that process again but no point as bodywork is getting tarted up soon

andybond

Interesting. Always wanted to do one , for fun and giggles rather than owt else.

In the cold weather a brush handle fell on my rear arch and cracked it. Need to fix that as well.

Looking fantastic as well your car mate.

bluntys1rsturbo

thanks mate

you will be impressed with the results if you do the whole clay process

bluntys1rsturbo

cars booked in next friday to get fmic and all gauges fitted, going next month to get new turbo and 285 cam fitted plus diff carb fitted already set up for 20psi

bluntys1rsturbo

grrr my bloody clutch seems like its on its way out so iv sorted a deal with steveL(top bloke) for his old valeo uprated clutch am hoping to get a l/b flywheel on there at the same time i hear nothing but good things about these on a gtt

andybond

l+b was a night and day mod on my five. Revs soooo freely now.

bluntys1rsturbo

yeah i hear they are really good am going for one that weighs nearly 7kg less than standard so it should rev very well

bluntys1rsturbo

quick pic from today who says u cant use a 5gtt as a daily

andybond

Looks fantastic. Mine is used as a daily.

Snapped the clutch cable today mind !

bluntys1rsturbo

ouch nothing to major tho eh fella, could be worse my clutch is virtually hanging on by a thread lol

andybond

Just a fiddle. Not end of world.

PAUL_SHEP

Hope the fmic is hidden behind the bumper? Would spoil the look of the car if it was infront.

bluntys1rsturbo

the fmic will be across where the bottom grille is it wont be sticking out or looking daft

RSMK4TURBO

Seen 1 of these tonite down Bassetts Pole on A38,cant remember last time ive seen 1 on the road, real shame as they are a classic in their own right.

stuboy

not seen a decent R5 for while

bluntys1rsturbo

was it a white one by any chance??

these are without doubt a classic get alot of comments of people when out

RSMK4TURBO

It was a grey one mate.

crumpet

grey two tone phase 1? used to have ats classics on it, its my mates mates car, 170bhp clean as fuck, theres a few round here that go bassets and down the a38

bluntys1rsturbo

grey the best colour lol

bluntys1rsturbo

new turbo for my car

fully rebuilt/balanced 360 deg bearing, cosworth comp housing pulsar t28 wheel and t2 .63 ex housing







should go well @ 20psi

andybond

Thats almost exactly the same as I have on mine !

My wastegate penny is mounted slightly differently but hey ho.

Its a cracking spec for the five. It spools at 3500 ish , quickly , and doesnt ever seem to drop off..

bluntys1rsturbo

what is your spec mate ? 3.5 k sounds good to me.

iv got a 200sx t28 here that am going get rebuilt

andybond

Spec of mine is identical to yours. 42 trim front and 63 rear IIRC with a pulsar wheel !

Pulls like a bloody train once its going. Just doesnt run out of puff. My right foot runs out of resolve to keep itself planted as the needle shoots waaaaaaaaay into the red ..
