mate that looks well clean and a real sleeper cab, i can see it now cruzing along and then the turbo kicks in and ur flying wicked

[Turbo-Brown]

Is that a Fosters can wrapped around your ignition coil?

Tell us more about the turbo conversion!

What manifold did you use/make and what engine managament.....and most important: How much power?!

[maxfield]

i was looking at that for ages to looks like it

[Gouki]

much respect, I know that musta cost £Â£Ã‚£ to get it like that and with a turbo, how much power you running at the fly wheel?

[basil]

cheers guys alot of work and swearing went into the turbo the whole lot cost me under a grand to do with a predicted 220 bhp which is got of a internet calculator its running standard everything im using super unleaded and octane booster at 5 psi while i save up for megasquirt. yeah it is a fosters can just a little extra touch!
i managed to get hold of 2 manifolds dont no what they are but there were castings which i hads to machine and weld the flange on

[Geeman]

very neat turbo install fella... impressed.

[basil]

yeah it does fool ppl speacially when u blip the dump valve they have to do a double take!

[basil]

the kit consists of:
full powerflow stainless exhaust
garrett t3
modified cossie intercooler behind grills
loads of home made brackets, pipes, adaptors
waher bottle of a digger

Very nice, AFM on the "right" side too. Miss mine now and that was no where near as tidy as that.

Are you still running standard blue 325 injectors then or are my eyes decieving me, i couldn't get enough fuel in with them.

And these manifolds, you say you have 2

[basil]

thanks guys im well pleased i just dnt no what to do next! i think it needs more euro style
yes standard enjects seems ok what are you running? should i change them?
thanks for the photoshop i like the look i think il be having that done soon
yes iv got another manifold i havnt machined it yrt i aslo have a modified cossie intercooler and another turbo

[Jon_Bmw]

Well i was running 3.5 yellow injectors as it would pink on the blue ones, but it was a bit of a misson to stop it overfueling. Wish i had brought megasquirt at the time, sold the setup it in the end. God knows where it is now though...

Still suprised you are getting it to run on the blues, any increased fuel pressure at all?

Looks sweet , where abouts in the country are you ?

[gurps_singh1]

Your Cars mint mate bet that thing moves

[basil]

it pinked abit at top end revs but then a added octane booster and i run super unleaded and it seems fine but is only a low boost set-up im on the save now for megasquirt
im in oxfordshire

[basil]

what do ppl think about the black wheel photoshop? i ent shore weather to do it or not

[mtechstevo]

so what management are you running at the mo? surly the standard setup doesnt like seeing boost?
