Turbo built by Ant 'the Wizard' orginal post

Project is far from over, still plenty going on. She runs sweet and fast. Ant has carried out a lot of work on this and she's going back to him for more upgrades. winkeye

The pic's not that good (used a camera phone) as both my cybershots are f***** :-x

I have more pic's as the project was built below on this thread.

Thanks to all the people I've asked advice from, Sal (M5Pilot) for planting the Turbo Seed, the e30zone and all members whose posts I've been reading, all people down at Aces whose cars I've been admiring since Sept while the Turbo was being built, Ben (Fowler) for the ICE Setup, and 'The Wizard' Ant.

Gouki - Sorry mate, I get to Aces late 9.30ish after Footie. Was loking for you but got caught with a few things 8)

Plus some guys outside cornered me for a ride -

Dannyboyb - Its a lot of work, but does she fly. You dont realise the speeds you can reach very quickly on the motorway. Overtaking is a very quick process :cool: All work carried out by Ant @ A-Tech so give him a PM - he's also in Kent.

Damn 8O

What size turbo is that? T25?

Is it a custom exhaust manifold?

Do you know if she needed any internal work or is the engine low enough comp to just bolt on?

Also, are you running an extra injector or have you remapped to get extra fuel in?

That is a very cool project, just wandering as i've got a T25 off a 200sx laying around the garage not doing a lot winkeye

turbo is a T34/5 hybrid, spec is a secret :wink: no of the shelf unit will work properly in this application.

Exhaust manifold is a custom BBR log from 1990, there are a few knocking about on the net for sale....

Engine has been made low compression, 7.5:1 ish( I'll never tell), max boost is 21 psi , currently "running in" on 10 psi

Engine management has been changed to a Megasquirt ECU, and 42lb/hr injetors were used.

HTH

If you really want to know more, come and see the w/shop, TN17 area if you're local ...

Definately sounds interesting, didn't know if it was something possible do-able through easy available parts.
