turbosmart stuff is decent

it isn't that hard to do with the engine in the car - although I have a lift.

I have 2 airwalker bumpers.

One on the car, and one spare!

rebuilt my box due to the described problem.

My 3rd gear synchro was shafted.

didnt know fensport sold stuff on ebay lol

I know everyone here likes the big chargecooler thing and I dont want to sound like im slating them because I have a boot mount this is just my take. If I wanted to keep my boot id fit a chargecooler all day long. However I can manage without the boot so i went with a trunk mount option. I never ge...

breather filter on the end, but move it AWAY from the exhaust manifold area.

I have mine on a long pipe out and it is in the cavity down by the passenger side air scoop.

Is all of your intercooler pipework also 3''?

about a foot before the TB, and also pre turbo.

Pre turbo is controversial, but read here

my own take on it? It works, and it works really well.

not much point in the other tbh. the chemical intercooling effect from water/meth is brilliant. I only get a few degrees above ambient at 2 bar on a GT35.

the sump pan face is likely not flat.

penetrating oil is going to do squat.

Heat is the only thing that will release it.

no idea on power, it's nippy is all I know. rying to find somewhere local to hire a dyno to finish the ignition timing off. I run a mix of 80% super to 20% methanol - much cheaper than race fuel. A 1 ton cube of reagent grade methanol is only £280 at my local chemical suppliers. I should add it's no...

I bought an arch roller on ebay for less than those companies charge to roll a set of arches.

Its pretty easy to do, I used a heat gun to stop the paint cracking (Ive since been told this is hit and miss anyway)

Can fit 255/45 x 16 under the rear now. Usually run 245/45 x 16 Kumho V70A in medium.

every single one was like that and i got 135psi in every cylinder (Get 180 now on my rebuild)

the sleeves werent damaged at all, and amazingly neither was the turbo.

I had good compression with pistons like this:



Ran ok like that lol

I use comma 5w50 motorsport oil.

best bit? It's £20 + VAT

I've a GT3582r with the 0.82A/R exhaust housing and a ported compressor housing (The single best bit of it as I get no annoying surge any more) running at 2 bar and it's great fun tbh. All home made and tuned. Couple of pics from a recent car show http://fttm.co.uk/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/SA...

water/meth injection is a much better idea.
