Ant Turbo Test drive Update

Mon Oct 24, 2005 11:07 am

Muhahhahahah!!!

5.5 Psi and had a drive yesterday on my own.

The power delivery is enough to scare my 3.8 M5 - I'm sure it will be faster once boost is turned up.

The level of refinement is unreal, the idle is better than stock. Simply fantastic.

If your thinking about going turbo do not hesitate!

Also had a little spin in the Turbo Ant special today

(Cheers Ant) also my first drive of a E30 for over a year

My report...
Idle spot on and general drive is superb still a few little kinks to iron out but i am sure Ant will get there.
Because of the low boost application it boost early and super smooth performance was pretty much what i expected
i would estimate it to be pushing out 240bhp+ with plenty of torque.
Great conversion and really compliments the good old straight six lump and gives it that extra ooomph its always needed.
As usual Great instal from Ant looks very well thought out and almost factory fit.
Lets hope he gets on with a low comp version and more boost to give the E36 M3 engined cars a run for their money

cheers

Cheers Duncan, had a superb drive back from you, sorted that off/on throttle lurching thing, was the fuel cut setting ofor the TPS, I went the wrong way with the time delay.

Found a couple of Porkers to play with on the racetrack(M25), they seemed quite surprised to see a lil old e30 welded to their rear bumpers @ obscene speeds :lol:

the guy in the convertable was videoing his mate in the GT3, one in the inside, one in the outside, guess who shot through the middle lane

I'm sure they could have left me for dead anytime but sure was funny watching their faces as I dumped boost as I rolled alongside.

All smiles and waves so a good time had by all, used quite a bit of fuel though

The parts were spot on duncan ! smoked a little on startup mind :lol:
